    This is actually really cool! That you are one of the very few people that have (most likely) seen this planet, even though it’s so far away, and only a speck.

    Let’s go!! Can’t wait for next weeks vid👀🔥
  • Although some of the science is skimmed over lightly, it’s still a very cool video that shows us how astronomy is done in the modern day, and it’s actually cool that you managed to find Eris. From what I know (which admittedly isn’t a lot), that takes a certain level of work. And that last stare is literally daring NASA or ESA or some other space agency to send a probe there.  Also, “The planet will just keep sitting there, alone.” Well, it has a moon, so it has that going for it.

    Jack, I’m so proud of how far you have come. I still remember you having less than 100k subs, now look at where you are now. As a huge astronomy fan, I highly appreciate this high-quality video. Amazing job, well explained

    It would have been interesting to delve into the history of the initial discovery of the Dwarf planet in 2005 in the mount Palomar observatory, as it would have given a more solid story for the video to explore. You can find more information about it on Wikipedia, along with some other interesting photos of Eris taken from Earth. I understand that creating content for YouTube can be challenging, but it is important to avoid using clickbait in videos that are based on scientific facts. The original title, “I Actually found a new planet," is quite sensationalized, and while clickbait may work for other types of content, it is important to avoid exaggeration when presenting facts, as it can lead to misinformation and leave viewers feeling disappointed and misled. The video discusses topics that are more suitable for older audiences, but it is presented in a simplified manner, which may result in losing important information. So I feel that this video could have benefitted by dedicating more time to explaining the complex concepts of space and improving the way they were presented. The discussion of wormholes and black holes is explained without really understanding them. For example, the arrow pointing to a star cluster and labelling it a black hole, is like pointing to an ocean and claiming it's a shark. While there may be sharks in there, you're still referring to the whole ocean. So it wasn’t really a black hole pointed at. The story of the video also seems to change throughout, which can be confusing. I understand that Jack is probably new to learning about space, so it's understandable that he might not grasp everything fully. However, it seems misleading to state things as facts when they are not completely understood. Despite these points, I like the idea of the video, as I’m really interested in space. It was the execution that I felt could have been improved with more honesty and thorough research on the topics discussed. The pacing of the video was top tier, and the chosen topic was ambitious, which I found enjoyable.

    Jack Gordon is literally the definition of quality over quantity 👏

    Eris: ah what a lovely day Sun:hey your rejected Eris: wait what Sun: now go to nowhere Pluto: oh hello there Eris: hello
  • @Digsmugpugguy
    Excellent video but my one issue with it is you didn't actually find a new planet. It was discovered in 2005... And Eris is a Dwarf Planet, missing at least one characteristic of the classification of "planet." But nonetheless, you've earned a subscription and keep up the great work.
  • This is known as as Planet 9, it use to be in the solar system billions of years ago, then Jupiter and Saturn’s gravity collapsed causing Planet 9 to fling out of the solar system, it’s pretty impressive that you found Planet 9, wonderful work!
  • @lilahrose7666
    I LOVED this video, please do more things around astronomy
  • @ManuelBoza
    BROOOOOOOOO this is your best video by far!
  • @Will-he8qv
    Man seeing you constantly changing the title is funny to me
  • @aquawrld
    Such a sick video & an amazing concept, would love to see you do this again. Trying to hunt for habitable planets in the solar system is sick
  • Someone tell him that Eris is not a planet It’s a dwarf planet with 1 moon and demoted in 2005
  • @Papasyko
