Launch Pad Astronomy
США
Добавлен 2 янв 2007
Welcome to Launch Pad Astronomy! I'm Christian Ready, your friendly neighborhood astronomer, and this channel is the place to geek out on the universe and understand how it works, all in plain english.
When I was 13 years old, I started working at the Sproul Observatory at Swarthmore College. I helped with observing, analysis, and monthly open houses. I was instantly hooked on sharing the universe with others. Other highlights include working on the Hubble Space Telescope and teaching astronomy at Towson University (I’m probably skipping a couple of decades here and there, but you get the idea).
I upload once per week, though my exact schedule varies with my teaching schedule every semester. But if you subscribe and hit the notification icon, you’ll always know when my latest videos are uploaded.
Otherwise, you can find us at www.launchpadworkshop.org/ and www.christianready.com/.

So basically if you wanna put something closer than L2 , put it into orbit around L2 , perpendicular to it's earth sun orbit

Is there any official document by the nasa explaining about all the instruments
Thanks a lot it was so hard to find the actual Technological information about the JWST instruments
A BS message. Why not use just prime numbers instead.
I like Russia I don’t like Ukraine.
Hey Christian, I hope your are well. I just wanted to stop by and say thanks for all the amazing space videos. You have an able to make the concepts so relatable.
OK, you’re a base is incredibly strong.
I think the universe already existed.
No new videos for four long months? I hope everything is fine on your side.
Another question arises: Are Triton’s colors true, or also enhanced?
We have been deceived for 40 years about the color of Neptune, and for 30 years we have been deceived that Pluto is a planet. Maybe they are telling us lies about the shape of the Earth??? 😁
I am disappointed! Bring back blue Neptune!!!
AS LONG AS THESE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE RINGMAKERS OF SATURN OR EMVs as Doctor Norman R. Bergrun showed in his book and the Disclosure Project Congference in 2005, these theories will only be wild badly informed speculations
Will NASA name one after Vesto Melvin Slipher? The man who discovered external, receding galaxies two years before Hubble. Remember Hubble presented Visto's data as evidence. This data is not related to variable stars.
Great video, it's more than I expected 👏💯
Still using nothing knowing it is. The orbit is in a sphere. One of the, what is it 5 layers? Ah, falsely put but works. And science wonders why entropy is. The concept I received as having knowledge was to correct the false information. I understand this as intelligence. Intelligence is what is correcting the information. I as a person am choosing to falsify that correct information if I choose. Choosing to publicly display false information is accepting possible corrections to the information you displayed.
Baltimore 🤙
Hawaii was annexed by America.
It just seems making mistakes with flight dynamics would be too easy and costly. I wonder if Webb will really last 20 years? I sure hope so. Amazing accomplishment.
Do people realize if you see the moon during the day someone else in the world is seeing the moon in their night-time. Science does not have an answer. It is called hidden in plain sight.
everything orbits something , if it's not orbiting the earth it's orbiting the sun .
an orbit of that diameter would be faster than webb, it's orbiting an empty point between earth and the sun
Not everything is orbiting something.
@@user-pk9qo1gd6r Nothing is at rest. everything is under the influence of something elses gravity. in effect in orbit around always something
@@Thegoldmine1 Everything is attracted by everything else, for sure. However, orbital motion only occurs in specific situations. Most galaxies for instance can't be said to orbit around anything in particular.
@@user-pk9qo1gd6r yes I see what you say and I got confused I should have said everything is emotion.
Is empty space in a neutron dark energy the left over from neutron or other decay
yeah i've actually been portaying Neptune (and every other planet) in its true color ever since i found out about it
Very poorly thought out message. Not sure why any of this information would be valuable to otherworlders
Arrokoth turned out to be the most amazing body photographed! Essentially 2 asteroids, stuck together by a small isthmus. It’s interesting how gravity acts on a body that finds itself on this isthmus!
4:00 The full moon to the left of Earth should be dark because of Earth's shadow 4:00 הירח המלא משמאל לכדור הארץ אמור להיות חשוך בגלל הצל של כדור הארץ
Did you not know that the moon's orbit around the earth is inclined at a 5 degree angle to the plane of the earth's orbit around the sun? This is why it's a relatively rare occurrence for the moon to pass into the earth's shadow when it's in full moon phase, as it will usually pass either above or below the earth's shadow. This is also why when there's a new moon, that it won't usually pass directly in front of the sun, to cause a solar eclipse.
To @@sailorman8668 : If this were true then the entire lower or upper half of the earth would not see the moon at night. But everyone sees the moon at night. אם זה היה נכון אז כול החצי התחתון או העליון של כדור הארץ לא היו רואים את הירח בלילה. אבל כולם רואים את הירח בלילה.
@@lilmod_teva And yet again, the very fact that you've even posting your latest comment, only serves to demonstrate your lack of ability to understand what's explained in this video and how it relates to what we observe each lunar cycle. And with regards to your assertion that 'everyone sees the moon at night', this is not true, as depending on which part of the cycle the moon is in, the moon can actually be below the horizon at night, so it won't be able to be observed during the hours of darkness. The fact that you didn't know this, only serves to illustrate just how ignorant you are on the subject matter.
To@@sailorman8668 : Are you telling me that half the universe never sees the moon? Or you might want to say that the moon sometimes rises and sometimes sets? אתה רוצה להגיד לי שחצי מהיקום לא רואים את הירח אף פעם? או שאולי תרצה לומר שהירח פעם עולה ופעם יורדת?
Thanks a lot for this interesting interview! I personally wouldn't expect all the stellar systems to have the same composition of planets and belts, with the same distances as our own. Not all families have the same children ages...
The strange behavior of Jupiter, could be explained by the fact, that a Black Hole got into orbit around the early sun and begun to attract hydrogen and other space debris. Hydrogen, when subjected to intense gravity and pressure, turns dark and then metallic. This metallic hydrogen, can spin very fast, is what explains the unrelenting gravity and keeping gasses and materials from escaping into space.
I've been hanging out for this and other telescopes in the Atacama desert!! The JWST is amazing but there's a Milli Vanilli component (a duo that in the late 80's was busted for lip sinking in their concerts ( you know inserting data that isn't really there) in infrared because the there's NO color to be had!!
Wow, I had no idea that keeping a telescope in orbit around nothing was possible. Thanks
You should get an award for this!
You did a fantastic job explaining something I have always wanted to understand. Thank you so very much!!!
I remember when the first servicing mission to the HST was in progress (STS-61), people were talking about Hubble incredible guidance system. A true wonder of the space-age.
Every image is rendered by Photoshop. JWST sending pictures that are no better than an ordinary Telescope. Most of the pictures from Jwst are photoshopped. A planet is 5 billions liight year far, yet you can see a butterfly hovering over a giant flower. What a joke!
Idiots 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💥🙊🙉🙈

What is there end goal here. We can’t and never will leave this solar system…wasted money I say…
is this modeled in ksp
unfortunately no, KSP uses fixed spheres of influence
You lost me at "by pure coincidence" 😂
Clearly, you’re trapped in a Newtonian metaphysic about space and time. Einstein developed “the stretching of spacetime.” Your concept of Time is worthless.
Best video and all the info needed about neutron starts 😊
