To those returning and new to the channel: This video is a supercut of Astrum’s best videos about the Milky Way, plus new and updated content. We’ve edited this into a new seamless video, remastered in 4K resolution, and re-recorded the older voiceover to match the quality of the recent episodes.<br><br>Plus, you can still get your hands on an Astrum book, if you’re based in the US! <a href="https://astrumspace.co/">https://astrumspace.co/</a>

Thought this was a new 90 Min banger. But yet another supercut. <br>Thought Astrum Extra was for supercuts...

I don't think for a second in my life I thought "oh yeah, I got the milky way galaxy all figured out."

They change the title every 20 minutes for the algorithm so I keep thinking it’s another new video. I’m saving video this for my bed time 🎉

My mind hasn't been blown about Galaxy facts in a while, but learning that we've merged with 6-7 dwarf galaxies and that we're in an active galactic merger with Sagittarius, was so much cool information to learn in just a few minutes.

Imagine discovering something like the non thermal filaments around the galaxy and the current technology is not yet capable of studying them any further and you have to wait years for a new observatory to be built. This would drive me insane the entire time it took to study it further

Damn - another supercut rerun 🤨. Maybe channels are doing it to meet algorithm upload quotas?

I love everything about your videos. Thank you. The long form, the calm but happy voice, the great visuals and the topic. <br>My favorite part is how fast we move and how brief is our life and how tiny we are and how vast things we can still learn. We are capable of such huge things! I warningly love being a tiny part of it all. I live being made out of stars! I love seeing life, the neighbors children playing, the birds outside eating from my feeders and bathing in my bird bath. All the material things I hold dear are never as important as these.

I do not want to be a hydrogen atom caught up in a beam of 100s TeV. "Well, there goes my electron!"
