  A little surprised by the missed opportunity for a "nailed it" pun with the magnetite.

  Every time I see a video in my feed from you my first thought is “meh, not that interested in that subject”. Then I watch the video and thanks to Emily’s enthusiasm and the wonderful presentation, by the end it’s “wow, I am REALLY interested in that subject!” Great work!

  If loving space rocks is Meteor wrong, I don't want to be a meteorite.

  4/4, beginner&apos;s luck! I&apos;m absolute garbage when it comes to non-living things.<br><br>How do you feel about an episode of &apos;how to read rocks for dummies&apos;? Whenever I travel and see weird shapes/cracks, I always wish I could &apos;read&apos; the rocks to find out more about the region&apos;s past. I think Jim can explain it in the most accessible way for a total dummy like me.

  I worked as a blacksmith: his explanation of &quot;clinker&quot; is actually spot on. The small bits of slag that form in the forge fire make a metallic ring, or &quot;clinking&quot; sound, when hit with the fire poker or when thrown into a bucket to be disposed off. &nbsp;The coke (burned bituminous coal) in the fire doesn&apos;t &quot;clink&quot;.<br><br>Excellent video, much thanks! &nbsp;Another &quot;smells like knowledge&quot; sometime?

  This reminds me of lyrics from the Joanna Newson song “Emily”. She wrote it about her sister who is a astrophysicist (I think...if I recall correctly)<br>A bit goes:<br>“That the meteorite is a source of the light<br>And the meteor&apos;s just what we see<br>And the meteoroid is a stone that&apos;s devoid of the fire that propelled it to thee”

  .... That nerdrap at the beginning took me right back to middle school geology! I love it! How is this show so magical? Seriously, though, I&apos;ve got my final exam today in anatomy and physiology; as a pre-nursing student, this show has really helped me maintain focus on my curiosity, rather than my stress over grades. Thanks, Emily!

  Emily is such an inspiration. Her enthusiasm and propensity for science is wonderful to see. She wasn&apos;t from a specifically science background, which goes to show anyone can learn and become a scientist . Great work.

  Ohh yay, I listened well. Got all of the answers correct! But super awesome video. I think I&apos;ve found those slag rocks thinking they might be meteorites when I was a kid.
