LIVE through my Telescope

Added: 2026-05-09

[00:00:31]Hey, what up Matt?

[00:00:35]Smoking bacon carrier. That is true.

[00:00:37]David, good morning.

[00:00:39]Hey friend, welcome in V2T. How's it going? Tour, how you doing? Early bird. Oh yeah. Hi Danny.

[00:00:48]What's up buddy? Dark thing. What's up?

[00:00:50]What's up y'all?

[00:00:52]Checking out the sun for a little bit.

[00:00:54]Beautiful prominence over here on the edge.

[00:00:58]Actually, really beautiful prominence on this edge.

[00:01:01]We still got to get everything in focus though. But the sun is looking amazing.

[00:01:07]If I give it a little bit more focus here. See which way we need to go on the focuser. Looks like the other way. How's it look though? Super bright, huh?

[00:01:17]Hi Jamie.

[00:01:21]Lovely. the sun. It is so gorgeous, ain't it?

[00:01:25]Trying to see what we can do with focus here. Uh, let me pull back that brightness. That's good. See how surface uh features are looking?

[00:01:32]Yep. Using white light today.

[00:01:36]White light today. Hi, Robert. Good morning, brother. Or good afternoon, whichever it shall be for y'all.

[00:01:43]All right. You guys see that satellite passed by really fast there? That was crazy.

[00:01:47]It went by super fast.

[00:01:50]get kind of a bearings on what's going on here. There's a little bit of a flare right now it looks like over here.

[00:01:56]There's like a little flare up right there.

[00:02:02]Take a look out here real quick.

[00:02:05]I see that promise.

[00:02:09]There's a lot of mass being uh lifted up on on this side. See a lot of the plasma being lifted off the sun over here.

[00:02:18]Is it a Roman candle? Right. I'm great, Jamie. How are you?

[00:02:24]Watching Gordon Ramsay's kitchen nightmares. Nice. Nothing wrong with that.

[00:02:29]Nothing wrong with that. Let me come pull it back in. Look at the surface sun real quick.

[00:02:36]I'm interested in watching this here in a sense. I don't know if you guys can see that or not. Let me pull it up a little higher. There's a little bit of a flare uh kicking off right here.

[00:02:47]See a little bit going on.

[00:02:49]See if it gets really bright for a minute. Just outsiding. Always is, ain't it? Getting to see the plasma lifting off the sun is insane. Absolutely insane.

[00:03:02]I was your off work. Oh, okay. I got you.

[00:03:06]Hopefully it comes pretty quick for you.

[00:03:11]I was going to do seller coloriz or colorization color seller colorization, but um it's kind of hard to get some of the details to pop properly right now. I don't know why what I'm doing wrong here.

[00:03:28]Let me try to stretch it maybe. I don't know. Ah, there we go. That kind of helped a little bit, didn't it? That kind of helped out a little bit. Can you guys see the flare? Okay, right about there.

[00:03:45]We need to harness that plasma, right?

[00:03:48]Probably want a bird or something in that view.

[00:03:52]We need to harness that plasma.

[00:03:57]Let's see if that gets like really bright or not.

[00:04:01]Me pull up uh spaceweather.gov. [music] Hi, 22nd day. How you doing, buddy?

[00:04:08]Yeah, I like the colorization view, honestly. It really pops in the color.

[00:04:15]Everything does. And plus, it's not so hard on the eyes.

[00:04:20]Definitely not as hard on the eyes. Uh, all right. There we go. That's where I want to be.

[00:04:27]You are here. What's up, space crew? How you doing? How's your day?

[00:04:32]How is your day?

[00:04:45]We'll see how that goes here in a minute. A little flare.

[00:04:51]Hopefully, it's really going to start kicking up a little bit.

[00:04:55]See if I can see anything else on this uh sun over here.

[00:05:00]Feel like I could adjust the pressure just a bit.

[00:05:06]I feel like we could.

[00:05:09]That's one chronal heating problem right there. That's funny. Bigs.

[00:05:13]You like watching the flares? Yeah.

[00:05:15]Yeah.

[00:05:18]I'm trying to see like is it getting brighter or not? Kind of hard to tell right now.

[00:05:24]Usually, you know, like in a couple minutes I'll just like really really get bright and then they'll start to dim down a little bit.

[00:05:30]Lava lamp. I'm from uh So that's the uh this is mass coming off. That's just plasma. Uh, you could have flares nearby. Obviously, your flares are just bright regions and they get really bright. So, this one's trying. You can see it kind of trying. Like right here, it's trying to get bright.

[00:05:51]Um, not the only one I see right now.

[00:05:57]There's a little bit of one right here, too. You see a little bit of a flare right there.

[00:06:04]Let's have to see how it goes.

[00:06:13]Come back up a little bit there.

[00:06:15]You guys can actually see this whole sun.

[00:06:18]Hey, what's up, man? Stack it. Stack everything. Should we stack it? I think I need to hit the pressure real quick, though. I think we need to hit the pressure just a bit. Let me move it in the telescope.

[00:06:31]Looks like we need to hit the pressure uh just a bit. Get the big old life stack in the box [music] out of our way.

[00:06:40]Um, what do we need? What do we need?

[00:06:44]Just auto adjust, I guess. Ah, way too much brightness.

[00:06:48]Way too much brightness.

[00:06:50]Dude, I recorded the sun the other day and still haven't sent to you. Ah, this is a 50 millimeter telescope that we're using for the sun.

[00:06:58]50 mm.

[00:07:01]Uh, this isn't the sun. Yeah. Hi, Cotton Mouth. How you doing, buddy? Welcome back. How How's your day? How is your day?

[00:07:10]There's some of the features that we're seeing. Um, it looks like I need to hit the pressure tuner, though. Here in just a bit, we'll do that. We have the pressure tuner. Me come back over here real quick cuz this was an interesting site. Seeing a lot of plasma taken off over here and bringing a lot of light.

[00:07:26]Yeah, see the plasma being lifted out over here.

[00:07:33]It's kind of wild.

[00:07:39]I'm good. Jordan, how's your day? How's Taiwan?

[00:07:42]Got a 10-in speed. Nice. Got 11inch midcap screen, 8 in midcap screen, 4 inch mid Sky, 5 in SWIN, um 4 in SWIN, 55 mm.

[00:07:54]Right now we got 17 telescopes. Had 20, got rid of [music] four, gained one. Got another one coming, man.

[00:08:04]A lot coming.

[00:08:06]This what the sun looks like in hydrogen alpha.

[00:08:11]What looks like in hydrogen alpha.

[00:08:18]That plasma is really up there over here.

[00:08:21]I don't know if you guys can see it right there.

[00:08:24]That mask got ejected.

[00:08:28]You gave your channel a point or something. Out more eyes. See your channel. Oh, no way. Oh, thank you, Denzo. I appreciate that. Did you hype it? Is that what you did? Hyped it.

[00:08:43]Love it. Yeah, the sun is amazing.

[00:08:48]That thing gives us life. Absolutely awesome. I think we need to focus though.

[00:08:54]Let's try to autofocus it. Not auto, but let's hit the focuser. See what we can do with the focuser.

[00:09:01]I think I went past focus. Yeah. Okay.

[00:09:04]Let's go back the other way.

[00:09:12]Focus.

[00:09:20]It's actually pretty good. I think right about there. Maybe decent. A little bit more. Just to make sure.

[00:09:33]You know what? This sunspot looks like a heart in a way. Can you guys see that?

[00:09:37]Let me zoom in. It almost looks like a heart. That sunspot does.

[00:09:45]Blinded by the sun. Oh my goodness.

[00:09:52]kind of come down over here. Uh let me pull it like this here. So that that sunflare you can see it right there.

[00:10:01]The solar flare going on. You see some of the uh you see a prominence really beautiful prominence too. Most of that uh plasma is going to rain back in on the sun though.

[00:10:13]So I got the red spot from Jupiter.

[00:10:14]That's funny.

[00:10:16]Kind of funny.

[00:10:24]Uh, so those are sunspots.

[00:10:27]These areas are sunspots. This is a filament right here. These are filaments. This is essentially the same thing that we're looking at right here.

[00:10:35]This is called a prominence and this is a filament. But the prominence really stands out obviously because the translucent on the background or the prominence they don't stand out as well.

[00:10:46]But that'd be your prominence.

[00:10:48]Sunspots are basically those regions. See a little filament there.

[00:10:56]There's another massive filament uh right here.

[00:11:02]Uh we're going to have to Doppler shift a little bit though to get that one to pop in. Let me see if I can pull it down on the telescope.

[00:11:09]You'll start to make out the filament a little better. Hey, you see it there?

[00:11:14]It's massive over here. This filament is sunglasses out my way.

[00:11:20]That filament's really massive over there. But it's got a Doppler shift a little bit with the plasma looking glass. There you go.

[00:11:31]Yeah, there you go.

[00:11:34]You like to stand on the surface of something? Yo, insane. About 10,000 degrees on the photosphere.

[00:11:40]You have to go through millions of degrees first. The German actial mount.

[00:11:44]Oh, no way.

[00:11:46]Yo, that's awesome though. That's super awesome. Um, yeah. So, [music] we need to Doppler shift. We need to uh tune the pressure real quick.

[00:11:59]So, can you guys see the uh where's the uh camera at?

[00:12:08]Oh, right there. So, here's the telescope that we're using. Let me kind of shift it down. Then we'll Doppler uh shift it just a bit. We'll pressure pressure tune it. All right, let me step out here. Hope I don't hit my monsters are like all over my head today. All right, just two seconds. All right, y'all see me. Should be good. Let me move our camera first here.

[00:12:32]There's the telescope we're using. Let's hit this little tuner.

[00:12:45]I know it's going to be bright for a minute. I'll bring out that brightness.

[00:12:48]But there's your sunspot. Your sunspot will be showing up at that point. Let me uh take out some of the brightness real quick cuz I cannot see nothing now.

[00:12:57]Pure chaos, isn't it? It's so true. It's so true. All right, let's do let's see if I can bring out some of that brightness. See what we can see. Okay, we got to tune the other way. Now you're starting to see more of the photosphere.

[00:13:09]um said the chromosphere.

[00:13:12]Make sure we're uh bright enough here, too. Yeah, we're good. Okay, so we got to tune it the other way. Opposite direction, y opposite direction.

[00:13:21]Climb through here. Go [music] try.

[00:13:38]We'll try here without brain for not right this property again. Let's see what happens. Oh my goodness.

[00:13:47]Let's see what happens. See satellite pass by. It's possible. There's so many satellites up there. Like over 15,000 satellites. Insane. Absolutely insane.

[00:13:58]Let me try here first.

[00:14:00]Stretch the brightness.

[00:14:03]It's a hot sun today. Sun being crazy honestly. Let me let me take us out of here. Let's go back to white.

[00:14:11]See if I can get any of the brightness down.

[00:14:15]Notice now we see a lot more of the um the filaments there on the top rather than the uh the filaments on the uh the bottom side.

[00:14:25]Stretch it again.

[00:14:27]Stretch it a little bit more.

[00:14:30]Super bright.

[00:14:36]Only bad thing is now I can't see where the uh sunspot is or not the sunspot but that uh let me move the scope first where that solar flare was going off.

[00:14:47]Just a little too much pressure.

[00:14:52]H I take back a little bit of the pressure it looks like.

[00:14:59]Yeah, this is the real sun color. White light. Especially white light is what it provides to us. I do a color colorization because people are so familiar with like an orangish reddish sun. Uh but it is white light though.

[00:15:14]Let me try here and then Oh, you can see that filament right here too. You see that filament right there? Then you can really make it out right there.

[00:15:22]Let me pull in a little bit of brightness first. Let's see what's what it looks like. I'm on the top up here. Oh, camera's still in the way it.

[00:15:29]There we go.

[00:15:31]See how the top's looking up here.

[00:15:37]There's a lot going on up here. Ton. Get a little bit more brightness. Really make it out up there. That's crazy.

[00:15:45]There's so much going on up there.

[00:15:54]There's so much going on up there. Hey buddy, how you doing buddy? Welcome in.

[00:15:59]How you doing, Phil? Thank you. Welcome in. Seems violent, don't it?

[00:16:04]Sun does seem kind of violent.

[00:16:06]Has that uh appearance.

[00:16:09]Bring back the brightness. Uh I'll tune it one more time. We'll go back the other way on the tuner. See if somehow I can hit right in the middle. So far it's so bright.

[00:16:18]>> Yeah.

[00:16:21]Little more.

[00:16:24]>> Release of the pressure.

[00:16:28]We go weigh in first.

[00:16:40]Try right back. We'll try to t this probably the best place to tune it for now. Looks like almost need an autofocuser for that tuner.

[00:16:57]So looks very loud. Yeah, it does, don't it? So much going on with it. It does look very loud. Honestly does. I'm hit the uh focuser a bit now that we mess with all that.

[00:17:14]Try here. Okay.

[00:17:17]Okay.

[00:17:19]Out some of the red lights. See if we can see any uh solar flares doing anything.

[00:17:25]Nothing like super crazy, I don't think.

[00:17:29]Little more adjustment on the focuser.

[00:17:33]See if we can get the focus down.

[00:17:36]I went satellite. Satellite just went flying by. Another one right there, too.

[00:17:40]You see the satellite's flying by. And another one there, too. Satellites are zipping by right now.

[00:17:52]Don't have any solid mass uh little rock stuff. Very very little. Most things that get near the sun get destroyed. But yeah, there's some some of that mass just get uh get get captured but very little compared to the sun itself. Yeah, sun is white light. Yeah, laptop screen needs to clean. Oh my goodness, that is so funny. How you know your laptop needs clean? That is too funny. Look at the sun for a minute. That'll do it.

[00:18:22]All right. Do you see that uh satellite go there?

[00:18:26]So many dang satellites for real.

[00:18:31]Space in between us and not melting.

[00:18:32]That is true. Absolutely true. All right. Sounds good. Space. Sounds good.

[00:18:38]There's so many satellites coming through the view. Me pull us back over here real quick. Um it looks like that uh sunflare is kind of down. Uh not not as crazy now. It's not as crazy as it was a bit ago. What do we need to do on focus?

[00:19:00]Do we need to apply a little bit more focus?

[00:19:10]I don't know. I don't know. Want a little bit more brightness here properly.

[00:19:17]Uh the prominence is looking awesome. I think the prominence is probably like the one thing really stand out. That silly prominence right there.

[00:19:29]Actually looks really good.

[00:19:35]I don't see much coming up though besides just being a nice little prominence on the edge.

[00:19:43]It's kind of chilling and doing its own thing.

[00:19:46]Got spicules over here. There's definitely a lot of uh [music] um some CME blown out a little bit here.

[00:19:58]Seen some earlier. Can I see any now?

[00:20:00]See a little bit like down in here.

[00:20:03]Hard to see it. There's a little bit right there being blown out a little bit.

[00:20:23]Try once more on the focuser.

[00:20:26]Figure out which direction to go right now though.

[00:20:29]Such a pain.

[00:20:39]Such a pain. Pat will do a man loop around the sun like they did to the men.

[00:20:43]Oh, I would not want to. Horrible idea.

[00:20:46]Absolutely horrible idea.

[00:20:49]This telescope is a 50 mm telescope.

[00:20:52]Now, core temp is super hot on the sun.

[00:20:54]It's like 27 million degrees. The surface near the photosphere is like 10,000°.

[00:21:00]The core of the sun is super insane.

[00:21:02]It's where you're you're um fusing hydrogen to helium right now.

[00:21:14]How's the focus? I think we need to go the other way. I just don't know. Having a hard time focusing on focusing.

[00:21:24]Having a really hard time. There are so many satellites flying through. Can you guys see that?

[00:21:30]Y'all see the satellites flying through right now? Yeah, Parker's out there doing his thing. Get to the wood. Uh your thing. Um, yeah. I mean, it's like 93 million miles away, obviously. Uh, the sun's about 238,900 mi away on average. That's pretty crazy.

[00:21:47]Now, of course, super hot. Super super hot. About 27 million degrees roughly.

[00:21:56]Yep. Parker's doing his thing way out there. Doing it thing way way out there.

[00:22:03]See that? That solar flare is like really calmed down now.

[00:22:07]It's not all that bright at all.

[00:22:13]I don't see anything else super well.

[00:22:20]Nothing super super well.

[00:22:27]It's 1 AU away. That's the the measurement distance between us and the sun, which is approximately about 93 million miles away. Such an ordinary yet extraordinary star we live around.

[00:22:38]Truth.

[00:22:40]So true.

[00:22:49]Uh right there. We'll try to focus right here. This looks really good. I think this view looks really, really good.

[00:22:56]Y'all like that view?

[00:23:02]They're coming in nice right now.

[00:23:05]Hey, Angela. How are you, Angela?

[00:23:09]Yeah.

[00:23:11]Uh, so an AU is a distance between us and the sun.

[00:23:20]Basically, us to the sun.

[00:23:24]N core core is much hotter. The photosphere is about 10,000 degrees on average. your sunspots, these uh darker areas, these are about 6,500 7,500 degrees on average. But the core where the uh fusion's occurring, that's about 27 million degrees. Gets super hot in towards the core.

[00:23:42]Then we talk about the uh the energy that we're seeing here, the photons.

[00:23:47]Uh it takes it can take up to about 170,000 years to actually leave the surface to leave this uh surface of the sun that we see here. And then it only takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds to get to us. There's so much dense material inside the sun that the photons just kind of bounce around for a while.

[00:24:06]And speed of astron. Yo, there's some massive stars out there. There's some really massive stars out there.

[00:24:13]Astronomical unit. Yeah.

[00:24:17]Astronomical units. Astro unit.

[00:24:20]Astronomical unit. Same thing. You can say it either way.

[00:24:24]You'd be able to say it either way. All the same.

[00:24:28]Astro. Yeah. Astro, you know, was a very clever guess. Like, you're still there.

[00:24:33]Good enough.

[00:24:39]For a second, maybe. I guess for a second. That was a That was a bird right there. That one was a bird. A bird.

[00:24:47]The bird.

[00:24:53]There may be a little bit of a flare firing up over here. Like right here.

[00:24:58]Might be a little bit of a flare there.

[00:25:00]We could watch that for a minute, too.

[00:25:02]See if that does anything.

[00:25:13]Take a gold. Oh, okay. I got you.

[00:25:18]Dang. Trying to get the gold off of something.

[00:25:21]Our star is low mass. It's not as crazy.

[00:25:24]Obviously, we find gold from stars or we find gold that gets fused comes off of stars.

[00:25:38]Is it going to get brighter? No.

[00:25:46]Having a hard time seeing the satellites. Oh, I got you.

[00:25:50]The uh satellites are flying through so fast though. They're so hard to recognize. It's just like a little blip that goes right through our view.

[00:25:58]Insanely quick.

[00:26:00]They go by really, really quick.

[00:26:08]These uh bright areas that you see, this is called plague.

[00:26:12]And these are your filaments.

[00:26:14]And then the one like way down here, [music] that's going to be your prominence. You see like a spicules over here.

[00:26:26]The bird went through that time.

[00:26:32]Uh, this the sun. Welcome in. That how you doing? How's your day, buddy?

[00:26:43][snorts] See, we should be Yep. Using a special telescope. It's a dedicated hydrogen alpha telescope essentially that we're using. It's main job and only job is to look at the sun.

[00:27:30]Essentially all it does, all it does.

[00:27:35]Hey DNA, how you doing? Happy Monday to you. Good to see you.

[00:27:41]Good to see you.

[00:27:44]Bring us up over here real quick.

[00:27:55]Let's count what's going on over here.

[00:27:59]A bunch of space nerds. Day and night we find something to watch. This is true and say that is true. Absolutely exactly how it is. Pull this back down a little bit. go the right way.

[00:28:20]See how the Doppler shifting works on the uh the tuner.

[00:28:25]Like we go over here and we'll start to make out more of everything going off in this direction here.

[00:28:37]And the uh sound it makes. I guess you could if you wanted to pick up the spectrum and then kind of [music] record it. Guess you could if you wanted moving away from solar maximum. This has been a wild uh a wild wild cycle.

[00:29:00]Has been a wild cycle.

[00:29:03]Excited to see whatever you're showing.

[00:29:05]Oh, that's awesome. I appreciate it.

[00:29:06]Always something beautiful out there to check out. Be caught warla. That's too funny. That's too funny. Watching real time. We're about 8 minutes behind. Yep.

[00:29:17]Roughly eight minutes behind.

[00:29:21]Roughly about 8 minutes behind.

[00:29:27]Such a beautiful sun though today.

[00:29:33]Thought the tuner is being on like the tuner has its own mindset today.

[00:29:38]The pressure tuner is being very very finicky today.

[00:29:52]Very finicky today.

[00:29:54]Yeah, white light. It emits white light.

[00:29:58]Uh, it peaks higher in the green spectrum though, like the greenish yellow spectrum, but it's uh white light.

[00:30:06]It'd be definitely It'd be insane. The sun would be insane to listen to. It'd be absolutely insane.

[00:30:18]Like several thousand feet high. Um the solar flares are uh the charged areas they're intense brightness but the um so like you get cmemes chronal mass ejections and same thing that like what we're kind of seeing here you got the prominence on the bottom side and you got spicules see some spicules around as well. So that's just uh plasma being lifted off the sun, but 90 to 95% of that stuff just kind of comes right back down on the sun, though.

[00:30:50]Uh they're massive. These are absolutely massive. This one on the bottom, take wild guess here.

[00:30:58]This one's probably pushing about 10 of our planets high. It's way up there.

[00:31:03]It's probably about 10 of our planets high.

[00:31:08]Somewhere in that region. You can probably get one and a half to one and a half to two plants inside that sunspot right there.

[00:31:17]It's a decent size sunspot. The one over here is really good size, too. Here, you're probably pushing between two and three easily of our sun inside there.

[00:31:33]We can put about 1.3 million inside the sun itself. This the sun is massive. It makes up over 99% of the >> [music] >> uh the entire mass that we have here.

[00:31:45]Wait, wait. Uh yeah. Uh so the space weather spaceweather.gov spaceweather.gov.

[00:31:54]Absolutely awesome information.

[00:31:57]Yeah, my brain can't comprehend that either. I won't lie.

[00:32:01]Not even snack size. That's true. And it's not even a big star. Yo, that is so true. It is a small star, but it's an average start though as far as like all the stars out there. Our star is average, but there are some stars that are just absolutely massive that make our star look like it's nothing. Like nothing is going on up here. This is crazy.

[00:32:28]Absolutely crazy.

[00:32:33]There's way bigger. Yeah. Yeah. It's crazy.

[00:32:39]Take a look at this real quick.

[00:32:43]We're up to like a [music] C1.6 solar flare.

[00:32:47]A C1.6 solar flare.

[00:32:51]Has to be the one on the top now. That's where it was the one that we were watching a bit ago. Let's take a look just to make sure.

[00:32:59]Hold down a little bit.

[00:33:04]Um, I see a few solar flares. Nothing like crazy. Obviously, C1.6 is not much of a solar flare, by the way. That is not a lot going on. Um, last night we hit a M-class solar uh solar flare. So, you basically go ABC M and then X.

[00:33:27]One day it will grow and then it'll contract and it'll grow again and then eventually shut out this atmosphere.

[00:33:32]We will get there at some point be lit up. Yeah, infrared's really cool.

[00:33:44]But uh how exactly we know the age of the sun? Is there a way to measure it? Yeah, I mean we can look at all the types of stuff here like uh different materials that we have here in the solar system all them help us really determine like the moon for example the moon and um objects that hitted some of the rocks that we brought back samples and then you can start to like date a lot of stuff then we can look here on earth and start to date a lot of stuff as well. We know how long it takes plants to basically form afterwards. we can uh kind of come up with the uh the equations and figure out like for example Jupiter being the oldest planet here we can figure out how old it is based off of how old our planet is and then we can look at different materials here look at the uh difference of uh radioactive materials look at like um something like aluminum for example how long it takes to actually uh form aluminum whatnot but then you're getting into the whole other side of study stuff gets way off in another direction way outside of my scope way outside of my scope.

[00:34:44]Uh, this is the sun. Yep. Hanging out [music] the sun. All right, we're planning in solar landing yet. I don't know about 2076. Oh my goodness. Uh, we'll be doing it way before then.

[00:34:56]Way before then. By 2076, you'll see so many Artemis missions as long as they don't get cancelled. That'd be really crazy.

[00:35:03]Oh, there went a really nice satellite 618 fascinating. Okay, I got you. I don't know how how do how do super massive black holes actually exist? I don't know. I couldn't answer that. It's crazy. If there's an answer for that, then you got a lot of knowledge.

[00:35:20]Skulls, thank you, buddy. Thank you for the s I appreciate that. I appreciate it. Thank you so much.

[00:35:29]I appreciate it. I'm in the uh Midwest part of the USA out in the central region.

[00:35:36]None of the impossible unless you're Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris can land on the sun. Could could have landed on the sun. In fact, all these sunspots that you see are where Chuck Nor showed up and punched the sun.

[00:35:50]But there are diamonds and gold on other planets and mass mounts. Yes, it's not rare at all. Diamonds and gold are not rare at all.

[00:35:58]Absolutely not uh rare at all.

[00:36:03]How do we measure how old a planet is?

[00:36:04]Um or measure how far away. So, I got the uh the uh the uh measure how far.

[00:36:10]There's different ways to do it. Um stellar parallax is a really good way, but if you put your hand right in front of you, look out both eyes and then you put one like in front of your right eye and then move to the left eye, you'll notice there's a shift. And that's essentially parallax, though. So, parallax is a really good measurement tool for a certain distance. Then you get to the uh the roller measurement.

[00:36:30]That's where you're looking at uh Cynthia variable stars or just variable stars alone. Variable stars are interesting because the they tend to brighten and dim um and then you measure the uh the brightness and dim and then you get the absolute uh value of the uh brightness of that star and then you can determine distance as well by using [music] that. So that's going to be like the yard stick measurement. Then you got all kinds of wild things like that though.

[00:36:56]The sun can fry us eggs. That is true. I think it's hard to achieve getting a spacecraft to the center of Jupiter or getting within 100 miles of sun surface.

[00:37:05]Oh man, like actually winning or not winning. So 100 miles of the sun's surface is probably a little bit easier than trying to get one into the center of Jupiter. There's even with Jupiter, there's so much so much going on there and the intense heat near the core of Jupiter as well. um when you're still even 100 100 miles from the sun's surface, it's crazy, but you didn't go through a lot of mass.

[00:37:33]And so that is going to kind of help you quite a bit. It's going to help you a little bit. Um but it's still super hot there. You're talking about millions, like two to three billions of degrees at that point. It's kind of wild because the surface of the sun, the photosphere, is about 10,000 degrees a couple. And then you get a little bit further away here up into like the um the uh chronosphere and outwards. It's about like 2 million degrees. So like the the magnetic field around it actually uh tends to heat the charged particles up even more. It's just crazy. Like neither one of them is a great idea.

[00:38:08]Neither one would honestly be a great idea.

[00:38:12]I don't even know where to go with that answer though. They're both bad. That's probably the best answer. Both of the ideas would be absolutely horrible.

[00:38:23]Uh, will Saturn be above the horizon at night by July? It will be. It'll still be a morning target though.

[00:38:30]Still be a morning target.

[00:38:36]See a little solar flare kind of kicking off on the bottom.

[00:38:40]Nothing crazy though.

[00:38:44]Hey, back the other day and it was 92 degrees and sunny out. Hell, no way.

[00:38:48]They know I'm crazy that the sun can still fry me from 93 million miles away.

[00:38:52]It's insane.

[00:38:54]Absolutely insane. About 5 a.m. for Saturn. Yeah. Yeah. Roughly roughly around there. I can pull it up real quick. Let me pull it up real quick. You can go to my website, by the way. Uh just on the homepage on my website, go down and hit Saturn.

[00:39:11]Once you do, it'll give you your uh rise time. But if you click it and then go down a little bit, it'll give you your rise time throughout the uh course of the uh the month here over the next 30 days basically. So right now it's um it currently rises about 4:55, but at the end of the month it'll be up at 3:08 a.m. So around 3:08 a.m. It's going to be a pretty good time that we'll be able to start looking out there. Um it's not too bad.

[00:39:39]It's still way out there. By the way, Saturn Saturn's 956.7 million miles away right now. That's really crazy.

[00:39:49]It's really crazy far. But the rings are definitely starting to open up now.

[00:39:53]We'll be able to start seeing the Cassini division again. Uh rather than being edge on with the ring. So the ring opening is roughly about 27%.

[00:40:05]So much better than how we viewed it last year. Uh where it was that edge on and you did it looked like an arrow going through Saturn. They're really cool.

[00:40:25]Hey Brad, what's up buddy? How you doing man? Hi and goodbye.

[00:40:30]Put a water bottle. The size of mass of the sun, launch it directly at the sun.

[00:40:34]Would the sun die out? Oh my goodness.

[00:40:37]Um, that's a whole different aspect.

[00:40:39]You're talking about a lot larger mass.

[00:40:42]What you would do is double up the side of the sun and it would get near the core and it would just start to shed out the atmosphere.

[00:40:49]It would be done. It would be the the sun's life. Yeah.

[00:40:54]But here's a cool thing. Like even then you'd have to maintain it because as you get closer to the sun obviously you're going to get vaporization going on and then you got the solar winds going to blow the vapors away. But we do see H2O though near the atmosphere of the sun fly by. Are you losing? I I missed whatever was I missed it and player would wreck us. Nah nah we're good with them. Not that big of a deal.

[00:41:24]Yeah, I missed it. Could have been a bird. Could be satellites. Satellites are flying by like crazy. We've been seeing a lot of satellites, of course.

[00:41:31]Yeah, I don't want the sun to die anytime soon either. I agree. Hi, sweet bun. Welcome in. How are you? Don't know what the sound like. We think the gravitational center balance. Yep. The uh the berry center is outside the surface of the sun.

[00:41:45]He use the uo or IOS 100 m. Yeah, it's the one that runs the uh the other telescope, the one that everybody else uses. Hear you correctly? There's water near the surface of sun. Yeah, we do see uh H2O, not not near the surface of the sun, but out outside in the atmosphere.

[00:42:02]So So H2O was actually detected in the atmosphere of the sun.

[00:42:10]It's most likely. When you think of that though, you're probably thinking of like comets that get destroyed, get shredded up, all that water that's on them. Even asteroids have a little bit of butter. Oh, did you order it, bro? Nice, man.

[00:42:24]Yo, that's awesome.

[00:42:27]It was kind of a pain to get set up on the computer, but once I did, it was good. Like, it actually worked really well. Worked really well. And then I got it hooked up in a Nina course. That'd be super awesome, man.

[00:42:41]Drag in August, too. Launched yesterday.

[00:42:43]Yo, no. Hey, that's so cool.

[00:42:45]just around figure about 5,000 for everything that we're using right now.

[00:42:49]Roughly about 5,000.

[00:42:51]That's more on the cheaper side than uh than when we're running like the C11.

[00:42:57]Got pictures, dude. That's awesome, man.

[00:43:00]That's absolutely awesome. That's so awesome. I love it. Glad you got to experience that. That's super cool.

[00:43:10]Hook it up to the PC. Smart. Yep. Super smart.

[00:43:16]Why are you spamming dots?

[00:43:19]Quit spamming, please.

[00:43:22]Never. Forget it. I got you. It is worth it. No, definitely is worth it. It's definitely worth it.

[00:43:36]Hi, MrX. How you doing? Look at other planets. We do. We do look at other planets. Um, Jupiter is the one that's primarily in view right now. Um, but yeah, the moon, the sun, obviously, planets, moons around, planets, galaxy, lava, clusters, stellar nurseries, all kinds of wild stuff. We do get to check out other stuff for sure.

[00:44:02]There's a little bit of a mass coming up right here. I don't know if you guys see that yet. Let me bring in some more light real quick.

[00:44:09]Look at that.

[00:44:12]You guys see that?

[00:44:15]I Well, you can see it.

[00:44:20]Jace, what's up, buddy? Hello, the sun.

[00:44:23]Yes, sir. What are we looking at? The sun right now.

[00:44:26]Hanging out the sun.

[00:44:28]Michael, I'm not sure. Oh, man. You get a white light filter for it.

[00:44:33]Sergeant Snow again. No. Stop it. Tella, stop.

[00:44:38]Why is it always snowing?

[00:44:41]Can't be having that crap anymore.

[00:44:44]Go live every day as long as it's clear.

[00:44:47]Oh god, man. Man, time out. I got you.

[00:44:52]It's awesome. Yeah. Look at And what's really wild is watch how quick it changes though.

[00:44:59]Like things change so fast on the sun.

[00:45:02]Everything's just on the move. So dynamic.

[00:45:06]Super dynamic.

[00:45:09]Happy Monday, Jace. Happy Monday to you.

[00:45:12]Hope you're having a good one over there, bud.

[00:45:19]Look at that spicle over here.

[00:45:23]Nice spicule there. Got a nice one even on this side right here. Actually, there's a couple over here.

[00:45:47]huh?

[00:45:49]Yeah. I mean, it's an interesting region over here.

[00:45:54]Make a snow is latest gen. Oh, no way.

[00:45:57]Yo, tilt to stop. Hey, welcome in. You ever uh use space engine software? I have not.

[00:46:04]I have not.

[00:46:06]I just go for space itself.

[00:46:10]I just go for it.

[00:46:13]Company won't answer service calls to fix it computer. No way.

[00:46:19]No way.

[00:46:22]Imagine that. Huh?

[00:46:25]Crazy.

[00:46:29]Crazy. Crazy, bro.

[00:46:43]Maybe our is pretty cool. Is it really?

[00:46:46]We don't just take all the garbage off Earth and launch in the sun.

[00:46:50]How expensive that would be.

[00:46:54]That would be super expensive, man.

[00:46:58]Super expensive.

[00:46:59]saying 100% with one program open. Oh my goodness. That ain't good.

[00:47:06]Yo, that's crazy.

[00:47:08]You guys see the satellites flying through? Let me zoom in a little bit more. Right there goes satellite. Y'all see that satellite? Let me know if you seen it.

[00:47:18]We were on the deck tending yesterday.

[00:47:19]Now it's snowing. That's crazy.

[00:47:24]That is crazy.

[00:47:34]The sunspot looks just like a heart in a way though. Dang near looks like a heart up there.

[00:47:46]If you're just coming in, by the way, um this a prominence on the sun filament plague is these bright areas that you see.

[00:47:54]Um then you got sunspots which are basically these areas here. These are caused by magnetic fields intertangling just causing where the plasma can't reach to the uh photosphere of the actual sun. Uh causing a cooler region.

[00:48:07]When I say cooler it's about 6,500 7500 degrees roughly compared to about 10,000 degrees on the sun. When we look for solar flares most of the time we'll see them like in the plague areas. Uh usually around sunspots. Uh there are times where they'll actually occur that's not really around the sunspot.

[00:48:32]Do you think it'd be hotter? Um there was another sun right next to that one. Uh I mean the sun's going to have its own heat. The solar winds would be really wild though. Going to going to double up a lot of solar wind obviously.

[00:48:48]How exactly do the cemetery just run out of room, right?

[00:48:54]Oh man.

[00:48:56]I don't know.

[00:49:00][laughter] Goofy question.

[00:49:03]Oh my goodness.

[00:49:08]I don't have the answer for you.

[00:49:15]I don't have answers for you.

[00:49:28]anyways. Not even close to the context of this live stream. Way out there at the bottom. Um, which one? Or not. I see a lot of plague. Um, there's very little flares. Like there may be a flare right here. There might be a flare going on there. It's kind of hard to tell, though.

[00:49:53]Could just be plague, too. There's nothing like crazy bright right now.

[00:49:57]Everything seems to be toned down.

[00:50:01]Looks like. Let's check the other side real quick. Everything seems to be kind of toned down right now.

[00:50:28]Yeah, not like super crazy flares right now.

[00:50:37]Watch some of the blue light real quick.

[00:50:38]If anything is like popping. Yeah, not really.

[00:50:47]It's relatively calm.

[00:50:59]Yeah, for the most part kind of film.

[00:51:16]I'm really not seeing anything super well. Feel a lot of beauty on the edge of the sun though.

[00:51:47]Really gorgeous on the edge over here at prominence. Really beautiful.

[00:51:52]Hi Rumpy. Good afternoon buddy.

[00:51:56]You did make it is uh making this emoji f that's so funny. Other cooler region the sun um predict uh where they occur. Uh no. I mean like you can look at magnetic fields but it's not really a perfect way of doing anything. They're just going to come and go wish. It's it's where the magnetic fields are entangling.

[00:52:17]Sometimes you can make out the magnetic field just looking at like granules. Uh but that would be a little tough though to try to say, "Oh, there's going to be a sunspot here." Same for anything on the sun. It's so dynamic. It's going to do its own thing.

[00:52:30]Something else solar flare loops back around to form [music] a ring. For the name, uh prominence, but this not called a uh flare, though. It's just called a prominence. It's um it's your plasma looping up. Solar flares are brightness.

[00:52:44]It's your energetic uh or the the chargess of the energetic um material there which causes like a uh when you say a flare obviously it's going to be your your [music] light that's coming out not the plasma itself. It can throw out CMEs though which are pretty common with the solar flare where that intense energy it's when your magnetic field they uh uh reconnect basically. Um, and then once that occurs, you get that really quick action of a sun uh what's called solar flare and it can throw out particles at that point or charge uh charged material like the sunspots themselves are relatively nothing. It's just a void in a way or a blockage of the plasma reaching to the uh the surface of the sun which is why it appears cooler to us. And when you use like a white light filter, which is on the front of this telescope. And so you got the white light in the front, which blocks about 1 one millionth of a light from coming through. And then we have the hydrogen filter on the back side. And so that on that front side, uh it it the darker the objects are that you're looking at, the cooler that region is, the brighter it gets, the hotter the region is. Oh, there's a cool satellite. You guys see that satellite or no? That satellite is pretty cool.

[00:54:17]We got K uh KP4 conditions going on right now. There's a little bit of geomagnetic uh uh [music] solar storm going on.

[00:54:31]Says there's a 1.43 flare currently.

[00:54:34]Where is that flare? Let's see. 1.43. The only thing it really kind of stands out is like within this region, but it really don't stand out either.

[00:54:52]Huh.

[00:54:55]I should call plasma to Charles.

[00:55:00]Yeah. So, when you get Yeah. So, like when you're looking at this, this is not your solar flare. This is a a prominence. That's just prominence.

[00:55:15]Feel alive sustaining mega or orange.

[00:55:16]There you go.

[00:55:25]We got like a really awesome flare. It' make a lot more sense.

[00:55:30]It'd make it out really fast. So like what's crazy about Yeah. prominence uh prominence and filaments. So prominence are what you see on the edge. Filaments are what we see here on the front side.

[00:55:41]Same things though essentially same things.

[00:55:46]Most of it just it it's just that plasma coming up and then it just rains back in for the most part. Most of it rains back in and then sometimes you get spicules. So bring in real quick. You'll see some spicules like near the edge here.

[00:56:11]It's actually kind of crazy right there.

[00:56:13]That may be where that solar flare actually is. See how it's really hot coming out? How bright it is.

[00:56:21]You can see here too how it's like really hot on the uh the one on the right side there.

[00:56:47]Ah, thanks Wendle. How's your day? 100 likes. Thank you so much. Thank you, Swindle. I appreciate that. Thank you.

[00:56:55]Satellite satellite.

[00:57:13]I hope this thing uh does some crazy stuff right here.

[00:57:16]There's a lot of details going on right here. I don't know how well it gets picked up on YouTube itself, but let me pull in that light.

[00:57:29]I don't know if you guys can make out the details here from the granules.

[00:57:33]There's a lot going on in this region.

[00:57:37]It's actually beautiful.

[00:57:48]There's a lot going on there. Let me try to live life sack it right here. See if we can get like a decent view.

[00:57:57]Life stack in the sun takes a minute though.

[00:58:02]Kind of takes a minute. We kind of invert it too. See what happens if I invert it. See if the details pop any better. Yeah.

[00:58:12]ish.

[00:58:14]You're welcome, Robert. Yeah, you're welcome.

[00:58:19]There definitely a lot going on here though.

[00:58:29]What up, Phil?

[00:58:35]Life stacking is a pretty cool process.

[00:58:37]Get a little higher definition view of certain things.

[00:58:42]It's kind of a neat process.

[00:58:44]The fight between magnetic the best way to explain spots. Yeah.

[00:58:54]Can wait. What are we waiting on again?

[00:58:56]I don't remember what we're waiting on there. Trying to come back a minute here. Pretty cool looking though.

[00:59:15]Bring a little bit more brightness.

[00:59:17]More brightness real quick.

[00:59:20]Nah.

[00:59:25]Beautiful view of the sun though. Let me save it real quick.

[00:59:29]Boink. Got it.

[00:59:34]Got it.

[00:59:39]throw in Discord here in a minute.

[00:59:54]See a stacked image. Yeah, get a lot more details to pop through for the most part. All right, let's go back to raw view. There we go.

[01:00:11]had a little focus.

[01:00:21]Ran out of fuel. Oh.

[01:00:25]Uh, we got a while. Got a while before it does that, though.

[01:00:31]Still main sequence start. It's going to be there for a while.

[01:00:40]So many beautiful areas though on the sun right now.

[01:00:45]So much beauty going on on the sun.

[01:00:49]Oh, you hope so. Yeah, I would hope so too. Good point. I would hope so, too.

[01:00:55]Kind of would hope so, too.

[01:01:06]kind over this way a minute. Satellite.

[01:01:10]See a satellite play.

[01:01:13]Let me do a little bit more light here. See how much plasma is coming [music] off the top. Oh yeah, quite a bit up there right now.

[01:01:26]See it up there. Hey Alan, what's up man from Virginia? Welcome back buddy. Good to see you.

[01:01:33]Oh no, we got about billionaires left roughly on our planet. Not too much longer.

[01:01:40]A long time yet. Not a long time.

[01:01:45]Near the curve adjustments. It don't give uh give you the histogram adjustments at all whenever you're doing livestock in the sun just cuz they wear monochrome.

[01:01:53]That gets kind of weird.

[01:01:56]They're from Mars. Venus here. Women are from Venus here.

[01:02:00]I'm dying.

[01:02:07]Might bring it back a little bit. Make out that plasma a little easier.

[01:02:14]Kind of crazy, ain't it?

[01:02:18]Y'all see it? Okay. Pull it down a little bit and kind of get closer to the sun. Kind of crazy.

[01:02:25]Crazy.

[01:02:31]All right, let me move the sun back up a little bit.

[01:02:34]Move the telescope over.

[01:02:38]But not moving. We uh use a tracking mount.

[01:02:41]Tracks it through the sky for us.

[01:02:45]Or which part? You mean like the plasma?

[01:02:47]It's moving. It's just It's massive. So unless you want to sit there for like 10 minutes and watch it, it it's on the move. It's doing its thing. It is on the move. Oh, you guys see that satellite fly by on the right side? [music] Let me know if you see that satellite. That's crazy cool. That's actually pretty cool.

[01:03:10]See a little bit of C coming off the uh [music] prominence here. Oh, you're welcome. Yeah, you're weapon.

[01:03:20]See a little bit coming off over here.

[01:03:30]Satellite. That's cool, huh?

[01:03:37]Gnarly visuals, aren't they?

[01:03:39]Sun's amazing.

[01:03:42]Sun is super well.

[01:03:50]I don't see anything super crazy there.

[01:04:00]We ever gotten to the sun? Oh man, that's a good question.

[01:04:04]We were closer during the early uh stages, but not by much. And we're still leaping at this point. Everything gets a little bit further apart. Oh, that's crazy. What was that? A bird, maybe?

[01:04:17]Look like a bird. No.

[01:04:20]Hey, wide boy. How you doing?

[01:04:23]Awesome view. It is always a beautiful view.

[01:04:27]Kind of like looked like a bird flying through right there just a minute ago.

[01:04:30]Now what it looked like anyways looking like a bird.

[01:04:38]You see a green centers. You go. Yeah.

[01:04:52]This is the sun. Yep, this will be the sun.

[01:04:56]Not too many players. Nah, it's pretty calm right now. Missing your scope.

[01:05:00]Which one did you have?

[01:05:05]What up, OGC? This is the sun right now, not the moon. Our sun.

[01:05:10]It's awesome. It is definitely awesome.

[01:05:12]the telescope we're using right now if you guys want to see it again right here telescope that we're using currently Hubble telescope and how far away is it uh so the Hubble telescope is just above us not too far away at all uh they are going to replace it with the Nancy Grace Roman space telescope or what's called the Roman space telescope it's uh roughly the same size same sensors and stuff but it got a um or sorry the same size uh style style telescope it's uh pretty much same job. Oh, thank you, Philip. I appreciate that. But it gets about 100 times the field of view.

[01:05:47]That's going to do a really good job.

[01:05:49]Time some point, too. We should. We definitely should. I'm not sure how to do time lapses in uh Sharp Cap, though, to be honest.

[01:05:58]I really don't know how to do a time lapse in Sharp Cap. I'd assume have to pull on different software for that. Sky Watcher 200 millime. Okay, I got you, dude. This would be a nice telescope.

[01:06:10]Hey, watch this in a safe manner. Uh, so it's it has a white light filter first on the telescope which blocks about 1 1 millionth of a light coming through and then it has hydrogen uh a hydrogen alpha filter uh after that and then we got a camera set up on it. Hey Miley, it is so far a clear day. It is so far a clear day.

[01:06:32]But um I'm going to go for about 15 more minutes and then uh I'm going to jump out and do some stuff. Go get some exercise in today.

[01:06:41]Get some exercise in today.

[01:06:53]Looks awesome. It is. What's up, Raider?

[01:06:55]How you doing, buddy? Dude, I haven't seen you in forever. Bird.

[01:07:00]Always a bird. Always the birds.

[01:07:04]Yeah, I got to figure out how to do a timelapse shark cap, though. I'm really not sure how to do it on here.

[01:07:09]I don't know that that shark cap even has a feature to do time lapse capture star capture open capture folder capture dark flat quick capture start capture I don't know man I don't know how to do a time lapse on here okay I got you right here to hear that man fast wizard what's up buddy sorry to hear it Sorry to hear.

[01:07:46]Uh, that's your video setup. What is my video setup? Uh, we're using a line 50 mm dedicated hydrogen alpha telescope on a box. So, okay. It's going to start at like 4:00 a.m. when I woke up. Ah, that's awesome, Rebecca. That's super awesome.

[01:08:29]little bit. We got a prominence here.

[01:08:31]There's some spicules on the uh the sides as well. Got like that prominence [music] there. Let me bring in some brightness. There you go.

[01:08:40]see different things on the uh on the edges of the sun here. Got those.

[01:08:45]There's a decent one right there, too.

[01:08:47]Move the telescope just a bit. Make it pop in a little better.

[01:09:00]I don't know if you can see it very well.

[01:09:02]Some cool little areas around. Uh let's move telescope.

[01:09:07]There's a lot going on up here.

[01:09:11]Is there free stacking soft for you to recommend? I use sharp cap. It's not free though. I enjoy sharp cap.

[01:09:19]Uh Nenina now has stacking built in. So you could look at Nenina.

[01:09:25]Probably not a bad option. It actually has stacking built in. Um but if you're talking about like getting into like astrophotography, I I let Josh do it. I don't know if he's still in the chat now or not, but I let him just process everything.

[01:09:40]He does such an amazing job that I feel like silly even trying at the end of the day.

[01:09:51]Me kind of back up [music] here, get the whole view of the song if you guys want.

[01:09:55]Move it over.

[01:09:58]Move the telescope.

[01:10:01]Oh, thank you. I appreciate that. Thank you.

[01:10:04]I appreciate that.

[01:10:18]Yeah, the bottom with that prominence coming off. It's pretty cool. Like that one, but I also like uh this right here.

[01:10:27]You see some of it coming up um over there. This a prominence here.

[01:10:31]Spicules.

[01:10:34]See some spicules. Maybe actually a prominence there. You got a spicule there. Spicules. Spicules.

[01:10:42]Plasma being injected. Little bit of CMEs.

[01:10:48]It's pretty cool.

[01:10:57]Then the sun.

[01:11:00]I don't see any crazy uh solar flares right now.

[01:11:09]Mount the sun. Uh it's it's plasma coming off the sun.

[01:11:14]Just plasma.

[01:11:16]Oh, these Jacksons are massive. Like this alone, the sun flare right or sorry, sunspot right here, that's like two to three of our planets. So like when you're looking at that and then you come and look at some of the uh like that prominence, that's probably seven to 10 of our planets stacked right there. Absolutely crazy. Plasma injection is amazing. That's true.

[01:11:45]Uh it's our atmosphere. Yep. The daytime heating daytime heating is winning. So you get that kind of a turbulent air right above us.

[01:11:57]Black holes, but a great fear, too. I wouldn't be too feared of black holes.

[01:12:01]Come on.

[01:12:03]Ain't too crazy. They're not as crazy as like people put in their mind.

[01:12:08]You don't want to get spaghettified, of course, but it's just mass. Um like most things orbit around it. You do get uh I'm not here. [laughter] Uh most things orbit around it. If you get too close, obviously you get spaghettified. And then you get to that point, the accretion disc where you're kind of bouncing energy uh compared to gravity. So you kind of want to go outwards, but you also want to be pulled inwards. Um sometimes a black hole does uh get fed a little bit from there. Uh or what looks almost like a waterfall in a sense, but it's not as crazy as one would think.

[01:12:41]Here take sun looks like a sphere. AI video. I did see that. I did see that.

[01:12:46]It's crazy. It came out after that. The movie that just came out where the aliens are trying to pull uh energy from the sun. It came out right after that.

[01:12:55]So, of course, I knew that was going to be a thing.

[01:13:00]Oh, thank you. I appreciate it, Philip.

[01:13:01]And yeah, absolutely. What a time to be alive to be able to do this and not only me just looking at it, but also being able to broadcast it for y'all to be able to see as well. How awesome is it?

[01:13:10]Get to sit down, watch uh the sun through a dedicated solar telescope and get to see it in the hydrogen alpha side. It's absolutely awesome.

[01:13:20]Oh, you're welcome.

[01:13:22]You're absolutely welcome. The day is great so far. How's your day? Having a good day?

[01:13:29]Space is amazing. So true.

[01:13:33]Yep. After that movie came out, Cody, thank you, buddy. Thank you for the cheers, Cody. I appreciate that. Thank you.

[01:13:39]after the uh video came out, the movie that showed uh aliens basically harnessing energy from the sun, I knew that was going to be a thing.

[01:13:49]I knew that was going to be a thing.

[01:13:50]Insane.

[01:13:52]Absolutely insane.

[01:14:05]Going to explode some point. Everything comes to the end. That's how the cosmos works. You got the beginning and you have the end every single time.

[01:14:14]You're waiting for an invasion. Going to be waiting. You'll be definitely waiting.

[01:14:19]Definitely going to be waiting for a bit.

[01:14:25]Look at the edge of the sun again.

[01:14:29]Back up just a bit here.

[01:14:33]See, we ain't seeing much outside.

[01:14:37]See some of the CME on the top.

[01:14:43]Kind of cool.

[01:14:54]Don't see wild flares.

[01:14:58]Ah, Mr. Zeno, thank you so much for the laughing disco, buddy.

[01:15:02]Glad found me again. I'm glad you did, too. Thank you so much. Glad to have you back.

[01:15:08]Had a great project. You build a radio telescope to observe solar flares. Did you really? We got two radio telescopes now set up. Um just kind of unfortunate like the solar flares keep like the massive solar flares are happening at night time for us here in the USA. Last night there was a Mclass flare and it was like 9:30 p.m.

[01:15:27]Why? Always always never fails. All right, y'all.

[01:15:33]We're going to wrap it up in about uh 5 minutes here. Get it wrapped up. Go get the day in. Get some stuff done. Hang out with my boy when he gets out of school.

[01:15:47]Have an amazing day.

[01:15:50]Tonight looks all bad though. I don't think we'll be able to pull out telescopes tonight. Should have a lot of storms coming through at some point. We hear 11 pong with the thing. Oh, okay.

[01:15:58]Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's amazing how far in such a short time. Yeah, mankind like humanity itself [music] really goes crazy weather tonight. Looks like it's going to be storming. Appears that will be storming. Uh I did a live stream earlier this morning though uh with a different setup than I typically use. So I mean we could try to look at storms with that setup. It was kind of interesting.

[01:16:21]So that's what the sun typically has. Uh typically it depends. It depends your maximum and your minimum. Um right now though we got 138 which is up by five from yesterday. Uh so there's one new region though but we got about 138 uh at this point have long form or form videos everything from live streams.

[01:16:48]So if you look under my uh profile I think the first time we streamed the sun and hydrogen alpha now I got on a video but if you click the live button you'll see all the live streams. Uh, and they're all unedited. It's raw, so you can go back and look at some of the sun or the moon or planets, galaxy, all kinds of wild stuff.

[01:17:06]Says like a little red co other cool.

[01:17:08]Yeah. Uh, so we're using a dedicated telescope to be able to look at the sun, though. You're welcome. Yeah, you're welcome. Absolutely.

[01:17:16]Absolutely.

[01:17:19]Absolutely.

[01:17:21]I don't see any flares. Uh, nothing crazy as far as like a flare goes.

[01:17:26]Flares are brightness. Like you see the plague, this bright area. You see the plague? Let me kind of come in a little better.

[01:17:34]So flares kick up in the plague areas usually. Uh you can have them outside the plague of course, but usually you see them more in like the plague.

[01:17:43]Kind of bring in that brightness.

[01:17:51]And so what you would see is like a rapid brightness here and then start to dim down uh within a couple of minutes usually.

[01:17:59]Then we look at plasma on the surface or sorry we can look at filaments on the surface. So bring it back this way.

[01:18:08]And then so this is a filament here or some filament over here. But that's plasma being lifted in the same sense of how we see a prominence that we see down here inside the chat. Let me pull it up real quick. Pull telescope up a bit. Can you zoom in? Uh, this is our zoom.

[01:18:27]That's pretty much our zoom. The rest of us digital zoom at that point. So, we don't get better resolution. [music] The only way to do that is to throw in barlos, but this is just digital zoom.

[01:18:36]No new resolution from it.

[01:18:42]Yeah, there'll be a prominence here though that we're looking at.

[01:19:01]Yeah, there's really no major solar flare going on right now. It's relatively calm.

[01:19:07]Relatively calm as far as a flare goes.

[01:19:13]Not seeing much of a flare activity yet.

[01:19:33]some seeing me here too.

[01:19:38]I don't know if you guys can see that very well.

[01:19:47]The sun. The sun's angry. Lot going on over here.

[01:19:51]Lot going on.

[01:19:56]Almost looks like sunrise on the sun.

[01:19:57]That's funny.

[01:20:01]That's kind of funny. Let's see. Uh, pull out this one.

[01:20:06]Yeah. See the uh the CME there.

[01:20:15]Maybe a little bit more taken off like right here.

[01:20:25]Can you zoom out so we can see it all?

[01:20:26]Yeah. Telescope. Uh, it's a Lunt L dedicated hydrogen alpha telescope.

[01:20:34]Yeah. Let's move it up now real quick.

[01:20:36]Move it in the telescope.

[01:20:40]It's right here if you want to see it.

[01:20:41]By the way, that's telescope that we're currently using.

[01:20:45]You're welcome. Absolutely welcome.

[01:20:48]This would be the little guy that we're using on top of the EQ6R Pro mount.

[01:20:53]Oh, you're welcome.

[01:20:56]Of hair on your bald head. Oh my goodness.

[01:21:00]That is super funny.

[01:21:07]That's kind of funny. Beautiful sun though.

[01:21:22]Absolutely gorgeous sun.

[01:21:25]No, you're seeing a prominence on the bottom. Those are called promises and uh spicules.

[01:21:32]Like when we look at it like this, this are really nice prominence right here.

[01:21:35]This one's a prominence. This is a speculum kind of planet flyby. Uh not with a not with this setup obviously. It's new for us. Um have with white light though.

[01:21:52]The next time we get like mercury to go in front of it. It's like in the 2040s.

[01:21:55]It's not as common as you'd think it would be. It's pretty rare. Barlo. I know. One day we will. One day we'll throw a barlo in. That'd be a lot of fun.

[01:22:05]It's just a uh blinding blur. It'd be all bad. No, it'd hurt your eye. Never.

[01:22:09]Never. Never do that. Like, don't do that. I shouldn't even have to say don't do that.

[01:22:18]Should not even have to say don't do that. I don't even like putting my eye even up to this.

[01:22:27]I prefer uh cameras over anything. Yeah.

[01:22:30]Don't do that, man.

[01:22:32]All right, y'all. I'm going to bounce. Go get some exercise in for the day. We'll see how tonight goes. Shall see. See the sunspots again. Yeah, I'll do that. I'll uh I'll Doppler shift this a bit so we can actually see sunspots. Let me get some brightness. I'll Doppler shift it a bit. Then you can see sunspots and we'll call it a call it a day. Give me two seconds here. Uh let's see. So, I'm going to go Oh, wrong button. right there. I'm going to walk out to the uh telescope right here. We're going to change the um the pressure. We'll tune the pressure and we'll look more towards the photosphere real quick and then we can see a little better. Give me two seconds.

[01:23:14]Climb through here. Goodness. All right.

[01:23:27]Okay. So from there, I'll pull out some of the brightness. And you'll see more of the upon spirit at this point.

[01:23:36]There's your sunspots.

[01:23:39]There you go, Zeno. Thank you so much for the high five again, buddy. I appreciate it. Yeah, absolutely. What you see? Absolutely.

[01:23:45]A thanks, White Boy. I appreciate it, buddy. All right, y'all. We'll see what tonight looks like. I don't know. I don't know what tonight's really going to bring to be honest, but here's your sunspots. Now we're looking more towards like the photosphere side.

[01:23:58]There are your sunspots.

[01:24:01]Got a lot of brightness. You'll notice we can barely see anything on the edges now when you uh change up how your Doppler shift works, but you can make out the sunspots similar to how you'd see it with like a white light filter.

[01:24:13]Yeah, it's crazy to be able to see the uh solar um sorry, the sunspots in this type of view.

[01:24:22]Really gorgeous, huh? All right, clear skies, y'all. Have an amazing day. Be awesome. Be absolutely awesome. Be kind. Kindness is free. Keep looking up and we'll see y'all soon.

[01:24:35]Leave the stream running 24/7. No. No, man. That'd be so hard to do. Like all the equipment too does get pretty hot.

[01:24:42]Obviously, we're looking at the sun, so every now and then you you want to let it cool off. You definitely want to let it cool off. Kind of is what it is. But see y'all soon.

[01:24:52]Goodbye.
