On the darkest of nights, free from the glow of the moon and the haze of light pollution, a stunning, striking formation can be seen imprinted upon the sky. That imprint is our galaxy- the Milky Way. Our galaxy is a giant, which extends for hundreds of thousands of light years. But by measuring the motions and velocities of the stars in our neighbourhood, both their past and future trajectories can be extrapolated- revealing the history of the Milky Way.

My second donation for this channel. Nobody deserves it more than you in this field of content. Exceptional quality and narrating. Thank you SEA. I look forward to the next.
Right? My friends and I get together to watch his new releases, they’re such incredible content drops ♥️
Thank you so much for the donation and the kind words! Love that! All the best 💙
Nice one!!! 👍 @KingBritish
I was told Jesus made all this 😂
@@mickywinters8451 😅
“Sea” is the hidden jewel of KZhead, amazing content, awesome narration and visually stunning to watch. 🤘🏾🤘🏾
Not too hidden. Almost 600,000 subs. Lol
@@RealmsofPixelation there may be 10s of thousands of channels with this amount of subs. Not many compare in terms of what he stated so I’d consider that a hidden jewel, despite having 600k.
@@TheArtofFugue I 100% agree bro 👍🏼
@@Butch_Deezlsteak I’m already subscribed my friend, I’m slightly obsessed with time & space, can you tell? Lol thanks for the recommendation though 🤘🏾
@@Butch_Deezlsteak Absolutely bro… try a channel called “Cool Worlds”. It’s very much like this channel with similar content to. 🔭🪐👽
This channel is just incredible. It tops any major service that attempts to cover ANY of these topics. Well produced in every single way and freely given to anyone with the Internet. I honestly can’t imagine a more righteous pursuit. Thanks for everything, SEA.
Thank you so much for the donation and for those kind words. Love that! All the best 💙
I am amazed that public schools are able to make this stuff boring. SEA should be mandatory in every elementary school. And he deserves whatever share of their budget that is worth.
Ya, better than anything that Neil Tyson guy does, any day. Sea has a voice, and a narration, that only Carl Sagan can top. Keep up the good work sir. You provide top tier productions, that keep us coming back for more. Good show.
,t,,tt,,
I've said it before and I'll say it again. You're one of the most educational KZhead channels out there and deliver TV documentary grade videos time after time again - for free. Thank you, we love your work
How do you send money?
@@Kumala215if you're on mobile it should be somewhere next to the Like button, maybe you have to scroll a bit to the right
I can always wait for a new video. I, like most people, can't believe this is free. You are crushing it. We (all life) are all just an amazing cosmic coincidence flying through a speck of dust through the cosmos, bound by the laws of our universe. I regularly rewatch so many of your videos and ASTRUM to remind myself that we're all so small and we're all in this together. That brings empathy. I hope everyone finds your channel and can realize that people aren't against "you," they're just for themselves in this rat race for survival...
Thank you so much for the donation and for the kind words! All the best 💙
Absolutely I couldn’t of said better myself, I’ve been for a long time. I Would also recommend the podcast he did a few months ago as well very informative
I've been stuck for a week now on an ICU bed. I've been listening to SEA's videos every moment I'm awake. So glad to have a new one to listen to!
Ok, here is my issue. These shows are so well narrated and backgrounded with music and notes and graphics, that I end up having to watch them twice because I only last a few minutes on the first attempt before I drift off to nappy world. Keep up the wonderful work, continue to amaze me.
The best part is that you can watch these hundreds of times over and they only get better.
Same here, but theyre even better the second time.
There's so much knowledge in these videos! Watching less than twice would be doing yourself a great disservice. 🙂
I have to say SEA has been one of the most solid channels I've discovered and keep coming back to on all of KZhead. The Sleeping Space playlist has helped my sleep issues out immensely, listening and watching your videos have been a massive help and inspiration to me. Thank you for the hard work.
I’ve probably played every one of your videos twice by now. Thank you for your research and all the work you’ve put into the channel.
The cosmic scale is one of his best
@@stevencoardvenice agreed. Probably watched it at least 10 times now lol
I’m pleased to hear you enjoy the videos! Thank you so much for the donation! 🙏💙
Twice? You need to pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers.
I seriously appreciate all your content. I love astronomy, physics, and the universe and there is no better channel for all of them. Thank you for all the good nights sleep.
Yet another masterpiece from SEA. The chill atmosphere in on this channel makes me sleepy and it calms me down as well, because- well, it's SPACE! It may be one of the *harshest* environments to be, but it's still so pretty and calming to look at. Nothing bad will happen to us on a Universal Scale for billions of years, so it's nice every once in a while to sit back, and just watch the stars do their thing. And if one happens to explode, so be it. That just means that more stars and possibly planets will form from that gas cloud. Great video, lad. Loved every second of it.
Space is only harsh, because we didnt evolve to it.. Dont be too harsh on space, it cant help what its grown up to be.. same as us all.
This is just ASMR for people who just have to learn things, the soothing visuals, the calm narration. It’s great!
I love your channel so much SEA. You help me unwind and sleep most evenings. Space has always been fascinating to me and your channel is a way to enjoy my interest in a perfectly calming way. My BF was skeptical of playing a KZhead video at first, but he has asked me if I’m going to play a SEA video when we’re settling in to sleep.
Love to hear that! I enjoy working on them most at night too. Space a good time night time topic over all! Thank you so much for the donation 🙏💙
It's such a pleasure watching these videos. Such incredible content, exceptionally done. Thank you so much for what you do, and I can't wait for the next one
Thank you for the kind words and thank you so much for the donation! 🙏 all the best 💙
Your astronomy videos are the best. Both awe inspiring and educational. I love that you know the topic and there is no gibberish. Everything is just perfectly done.
Thank you so much for those kind words and for the donation! That is an incredibly generous amount and I hope you continue to enjoy the videos 💙
Space always has fascinated me, so I'm always excited to watch your new videos. Thanks for these informative videos.
Always such neatly done content.
Thank you so much for the incredible donation amount! Amazing 💙🙏
Fantastic work, I enjoyed it immensely.
Glad to hear it, and thank you so much for the donation 💙🙏
Thank you for the time and creative work you do.
And thank you very much for the donation 🙏💙
Besides everything the others have said, I really appreciate that you never break immersion by putting sponsors in these videos, even though you surely could. I hope this contribution can help a bit towards keep it that way.
Thank you very much for the generous donation 💙 Love to hear that. Yes I do keep sponsors out but I can’t take too much credit because I load the video with KZhead ads all the same. But this is my full time job now so it helps, but I can’t stand 1 min sponsorships on other vids so I wouldn’t do it here. Contributions like this are a brilliant bonus, so thank you very much 💙
This channel is so underrated! Its frustrating how these so called BIG astrology channels out there have to rely on click-bait and cheap titles but still have tens of millions of subscribers and views while someone like SEA who really does deserve all of that with this kind of quality does not... YET. Amazing content man, keep it up.
Homie has over a half million subscribers.. This channel is not underrated. Its just not pushed as hard as the millenial garbage thats youtubes claim to fame.
@@poughkeepsieblue Thats true actually, half a million subs is pretty damn good. I was thinking of a channel like WHAT IF, i think they have 7 million subs, imo thats an outrageous number for that kind of content.
You are one of a very few handful of channels for me that when you release a video, I sit down and watch the video free of distraction and just immerse myself in really interesting space content. The videos you make are very well scripted and edited with very nice visuals to accompany. All around fantastic job as usual!
Any recommendations for other channels like this?
@@johnmcgovern7128 If you haven't seen them, I highly highly recommend History of the Universe and History of the Earth. Also Astrum is pretty good
@@johnmcgovern7128 Channels John Michael Godier and his interview channel Event Horizon, Paul M Sutter, Anton Petrov, Cool Worlds & Kosmos. All great channels about space.
@@johnmcgovern7128 Yes. There is a channel called Cool Worlds that is everything Ein Fisch (the guy to whom you are replying) described.
Your content is so loved and appreciated!! Thank you so much!
this is literally the best space related youtuber, every vid is well made, doesnt speak too quickly etc wish i could donate but im low rn lol
This channel, is the climax of my youtube experience. I save this till the end, because the research, narration, and presentation is so good, it gives me chills down my spine. Good show my brother, good show.
Your videos are always well made and incredibly informative, but I think this is the first time in nearly three years of following this channel where I felt genuinely moved by the video. There's just something about seeing how those original progenitors came together to form our home, the whole of the milky way, that makes me appreciate just how fortunate we are to be here today. So many things had to go right for our galaxy to form the way it did, for our solar system to be able to form around our sun, for Earth to form in the exact right spot to support life, for us to be here watching this video now. Not to mention the fact that we are all here, now, at a time where we have the capability to study our galaxy with such astounding confidence and precision. Thanks for the video!
Every time I see there is a new Sea video I am delighted and relieved. I use these to nestle in to sleep too. It’s always so thoughtfully curated and wonderfully narrated. Thanks Sea! 🌓🪐🌏✨
I'm glad you published this video. I'm writing a symphony inspired by the enormity of the universe, and the history of the Milky Way is a big part of it.
I think it's good that you make these videos for the general public. All of these blackholes, galaxies, stars and the like are unfathomly large, and so far away, it still baffles me we can discover things and tease out our galaxy's collisions long before our time, and another collision after our time. I have no words other than epic, fascinating, or mesmerizing.
One of the few KZhead channels I would pay for, stellar content
Thank you so much for the donation, amazing support 🙏all the best 💙
Absolutely incredible! Info, narration, visuals, music…. Well done!!❤
Appreciate you work, SEA! It is engaging the young minds out there with science. Your efforts are to the noblest end there is, one single thing that made us who we are: the curiosity about and study of the Nature's ways. 🤩Globular clusters are full of surprises! They are dense, thus tightly bound gravitationally, stable, not easy to rip apart, and also ancient. Yet it was recently discovered that they are commonly deficient in dark matter. A new puzzle to solve: with their strong gravity and senior age, they should have held tight on it back from the times when everything, including DM, was much denser. 🌟This is a fascinating time for young folks to consider astrophysics! The datasets already collected are mindbogglingly immense, we hardly tackle their surface, even with the help of our still feeble AI. And, beyond JWST, there are a few much more sensitive space-based, Earth-based and radio telescopes already in the pipeline, with their ever swelling deluge of raw data. Much more data than the next generation of astrophysicists could be able to process, even with the fast-growing computing power and a tad lagging behind, but still advancing AI and sim algorithms. There are literally hundreds of Earth-shattering... no, Galaxy-shattering discoveries lying in wait to be revealed, up for grabs! 🌊Help! We're drowning in data, lend us your hand! If you're young and yet undecided who you want to become, or are working but thinking of a change, mark Her words: the Universe Herself calls on you to reveal Her majestic mysteries to you!
Hi SEA, if you find anything you don't like in my post, I'll gladly edit it. The point was to thank you, the rest was momentarily inspired by my excitement, both from it and viewer reactions in comments. I felt you were likely on the same page as I, but I'll remove or modify anything you find objectable next to my gratitude message. It's not to promote _my_ view; it can only serve to promote _our common_ view.
@@cykkm thank you for the kind words and thank you so much for the donation! All the best 💙
Makes me so happy seeing new videos pop up from this channel. Each one is a work of art.
Yet another fascinating video from SEA. To thimk how wonderful and yet complex our galaxy is. So beautiful, and then to see it as a ravenous beast, tearing up and digesting smaller galaxies. Fantastic. Makes you wish, you could live long enough to experience it first hand.
Seeing a new SEA video is posted is like Christmas morning and my birthday all at once. Absolutely one of the best channels on all of KZhead.
I basically watch through each of your videos twice. Once with my full attention because they're always really interesting, and the second time as I fall asleep because they're very soothing and relaxing lol.
The algorithm pushed me one of your older videos and since then I have been binge watching all of your content. Some of the best space content I have watched on KZhead! Blows my mind that we get this amazing content for free
I love watching these videos. It makes me realize that there are so many amazing and different objects and structures that i've never heard of before. It makes me want to discover even more about the Solar system, the Milky Way, clusters, superclusters, etc.
Thank you for making this video. I learned a ton of stuff I never knew about, like all those galaxy mergers. The pictures were beautiful and I loved the music too. This was a cosmological jewel.
Hey SEA I absolutely love what your channel has become. Your channel has evolved so much in fact i have been watching you when you were still actively uploading GD content and the fact that you are still producing top quality content to this day has been such a journey to experience. The quality is always increasing. Keep it up man
He didle children look it up
What a truly awesome presentation. The content narration and graphics are all amazing. Truly a magnificent channel. I have been hooked ro this channel for a long while now. It just keeps getting better and better. Looking forward to the next thriller episode.
Another amazing story and production by sea. Thank you so much
Respect to the cameraman for filming in all these dangerous places
The Cameraman is a real homie for risking his life to capture recordings of our Milky Way Galaxy.
Very soothing, and packed with information. Thank you!
YO you said it was gonna be a "few" days in your tweet yesterday or 2 days ago and I was excited, but now I'm SO happy for this "under-promise/over-deliver", you wonderful human. Please don't ever stop - you could explain paint drying and I'd watch the video at least three times.
This guy has the best narrating voice on KZhead, and his scripts are on point.
I always look forward to your videos. Without a doubt the best. Keep up the good work.
Hey SEA, great video, as always! Just one tiny nitpick. Sequoia is pronounced "Sa COY ya", not "Sa KWOAH ya". But I only know this and am saying anything is because I grew up in the Sequoia National Forrest in Northern California, or else I probably wouldn't know the proper way to say it, either. Keep up the great work, I always look forward to new videos from you!
Came here to say this too.
Same here. My one and only 'cringe moment' in an otherwise brilliant show (as are they all).
What a phenomenal channel. Definitely in my top 5 of all time. Keep up the great content 👍
Love your shows!
Thank you for the super thanks! 🙏💙
What an amazing video. SEA never fails to disappoint and this one was another classic gem! Thank you for this.
Been watching your videos for years and I can't get enough. The ominous and direct style of your content is very intriguing and digestible. The animation is gold. I would love to see a video on Super Earth's or large terrestrial planets if you haven't already. I remember reading that our solar system once may have produced a super earth but that it was ejected early in its history. A long form video of yours on that topic would be epic!
Mine was the 100th like on this video...this will go down as a golden moment in the history of nothing! And big thanks for the great content! :)
Fantastic work, as ever. Top quality content. 👍🌌
Thank you, glad you enjoy it. And thank you so much for the donation!! 💙🙏
Very beautiful ✨ In swedish our galaxy’s name is Vintergatan or in translation ”the Winter street” ❤
Bird's track in Finnish.
Milk Street in German heh
Beautiful. As in the road of sparkly bits of snow? Love it.
That's a beautiful name! I like that so much more than "the Milky Way"
@@sevenstars004 I do too love it 🥰
It is mind boggling to have a glimpse of how the galaxies have been and continue evolving through the infinite of time. Beautiful video.
Love the new uploads lately...the nararrator speaks at a perfect pace to comprehend the information...this stuff is fascinating
Beautiful work. So much effort goes into making these masterpieces ❤
This channel is the reason I'm studying astronomy! It really made me realise it's a topic I wanna know so much mire about than what little we learn in school
Absolutely amazing context!! Best this side of the Milky Way - 🌌
As always, amazing work, thanks for sharing your knowlodge with us!!!
great video!! by far the best space youtube channel out there!! you have a gift in narrating this in such a informative & pleasant way
Your ability to talking about facts that are utterly mind blowing in a calmly manner is just a beautiful balance of I'm relaxed and panicking while I questioning my meaningless existence.
Every single time dude. These are art. You're an inspiration. You're a wonderful teacher.
Ok. How many people say this video pop up on their feed and was like "Hell yeah! A new SEA video. All other activities will have to wait until after this video."?
This is a breathtakingly fascinating and well put together documentary. Fantastic narration and research bringing the topics of space alive and current. Great job man and definitely subscribed.
I always listen to your videos at night when I’m about to sleep. Your videos are phenomenal. I took an Astrophysics class in University last year, so these videos are nice to listen to, knowing what I know of the nature of the universe
Your content is truly wonderful. Knowledge imparted via incredible storytelling. I love your channel, Bravo and Brava!
I absolutely love the content. I had always loved astronomy, even when I was a kid. I never pursued the path, but I sincerely wish I did. Your content not only shows us how insignificant we are but also educates us along the way our path of knowledge as a species. May we find the answers we are looking for.
My friend and colleague completed his grad studies and defended his PhD thesis at the young age of 56. It's never late to answer your calling. Your saying that we're insignificant is too modest. No star, AFAIK, has ever studied humans or other stars to better herself and her kind. Only the reverse is happening. We are part of the Universe, and only thanks to us the Universe can observe and understand herself. This is utterly significant! And yes, it's the greatest feeling of satisfaction when you finally find an answer to the nature's riddle, or even a little piece of the puzzle; but no, I don't think we will ever run out of our questions to the Universe.
As a kid I too was besotted with the cosmos. As a family our family would go camping and with the lack of city lights I would spend hours lying on my back letting my imagination run wild. One moonless and clear night ( maybe 1970) I spotted a comet with my pristine youthful eyes. I tried on several occasions to point it out to my father but he never could see it. After returning home I continued to track this comet for a couple of months until it was announce in the newspaper that a new comet had been discovered and named after the discoverer. I felt rather aggrieved, I was sure I was the first to see it.
Another quality video from SEA!! Amazing with great narration and visuals and also super interesting. Win, win
Humbling and Unfathomable. You floor me every time with this stuff.
Champion work chaps. Always interesting and worth watching. Thank you 💯👍🙏
What a privilege we have today to have access to such beautiful and precious information, at any time, for free
There's much more in a University near you. Hint, hint! :)
Thanks for another video. Your channel is incredible 😊
PLEASE keep this up mate, Your vids are the best man!
Much appreciate your high quality content, thank you
Pure quality. Thank you.

Your videos are genuinely the only thing that helps with my insomnia. Can't thank you enough.
Another great video, well done people, greatly appreciated content, narration and visuals.
Once again another amazing video. We're all looking forward to the next one.
Very glad I found this channel. Recently I've become a lot more interested in space, and learning about things I will probably never hear about in school is amazing
Amazing content as always. Thank you
Great content friend! Thank you very much for sharing 🙏🏾
Loving your videos. Thanks for doing tarantula nebula. Not many guys do stuff for us southerners. Cheers mate. Keep up the awesome videos
I had a surgery and couldn’t calm down on my own, listening to this calmed me during the surgery, you’re my hero ❤
Thanks for another upload!🎉 You're the reason people here are falling inlove with astronomy. Keep it up!
Amazing as always! Thank you!
I get unreasonably happy whenever a new video comes out. I always learn something new, and I sleep like a baby.
I was so eagerly waiting for your video. I absolutely love the Channel. ❤
Some of the best content to date!
Once again, thank you for an absolutely fascinating video. Yours are-the-best!!! Informative, inspiring, entertaining, they’ve got it all.
The evolution of this channel is beautiful. From back in the geometry dash days to these insanely high quality and amazingly produced videos, it’s a sight to see. Love the videos, I remember 6 years ago seeing some stupid geometry dash rivalry video and liking this channel from the start lol.
Thanks for the great documentaries you make!
