This doc straddles the line between infotainment for nerds and average Joes and Jills. Not an easy thing to do. Even ones on PBS can't do it like this. The narration is superb.
"planet or not, Pluto was beautiful". This quote gave me shivers. so well described and brilliantly delivered.
Probably the best ever Space documentary - the narration is outstanding, adding mystery as well as graphic explanations to the subject matter
The writing and narration of this production is absolutely superb. Like a gentle carpet ride through the history of the solar system we call home, I found it simultaneously informative, hypnotic and awe-inspiring. Well done!
Perfect narration. Beautiful, clear and calm. A voice which is trustworthy and very, very British. So refreshing . America take note. This is how you inform people.
The fact that we all can watch this completely for free is incredible. Mustve taken a long time to put this together
Space documentaries and long SPC videos have changed my life! I haven't slept so good in years. And I find myself recalling random space facts.
I'm a science-fiction writer, and I have a character in a story I'm working on whose father harvests planetoids and asteroids for precious metals, making her a rich, spoiled brat. This spectacular doc was like a college course for me, for free, and something I can do from quarantine! Thank you so much, DTTV- Quantum Universe! As a writer, I never know what I'm going to need to know, you know? Priceless!!!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. The content, the background music and the perfect narrator are all Oscar worthy. Thank you to all who put this together. The best video on YouTube. I’ll be rewatching this again and again.
Every night! I go to bed and watch space documentaries...can't get enough!
I woke up after having left youtube on to find this having played about quarter way through. After a few minutes it grabbed my attention so completely that I restarted it and watched it in it's entirety. To be honest - I'm not even certain how I can accurately describe the experience. I was nearly moved to tears on more than one occasion throughout this video and it felt like something akin to a 'religious' experience. Not sure how to remark on it outside of that honestly. Thank you for this video.
Such a high quality production with no sensationalism, just scientifically accurate calm intelligent narration with beautiful accurate visuals.
This guy is the best narrator going!!!
I absolutely love the description of Cassini’s demise. It is very detailed and personal, giving it almost a human quality. Once again excellent narration. Watching this video has peaked my interest in planetary science/astronomy. I feel like I missed out on my calling.
Probably the best documentary on our solar system I have seen. The narration is low key and dense in detail (ladies take note - narrator sounds like Jeremy Irons). Covers all eight planets, the asteriod belt, the minor planets, the Kuiper belt and the Oort cloud. FIVE STARS
This is the best doc I've ever seen on our solar system. The first 20 minutes on Pluto were phenomenal. I met Clyde Taumbaugh back in the late '80s, and knew his ashes were on Horizon, so this touched my heart in a special way. He was so proud then, and would be so proud now. "To infinity and beyond", Mr. Taumbaugh. (From Toy Story) He just might discover Planet X after all. The rest of the video was equally satisfying, as well. Thank you. Side note: I will always consider Pluto a planet. After all, the cuneiform tablets from ancient Sumar depict it as such. Right? 🙅♀️🤷♂️
I work in aerospace building rockets. It's pretty mundane work at that level but documentaries like this remind me of how astonishing space travel is. I love seeing the subassemblies partially built with all their internals on display. So complicated and beautiful.
2 and a half hour of information, video and pictures captured me without missing a minute of it. Great work!
