🚨The Astrum book is back!🚨

The wait is over! After our first successful run 2.5 years ago, where the Astrum book sold out in just 24 hours, it's back! We know many of you missed out last time, so we're doing a special pre-order run to give everyone a fair shot at getting a copy. But don't wait too long—this is a limited run, and pre-orders close on September 8th at midnight. That’s just two weeks!

We've poured a lot of effort into making this happen, and I'm thrilled to finally share this amazing book with even more of you.

If you’re interested, pre-order now to secure your copy before they’re gone!

🚨🚨🚨 Announcement time! 🚨🚨🚨

The Astrum Sleep Space podcast has an additional home: on our new channel Astrum Extra. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuIlA... The podcasts that have already been uploaded to this main channel will soon be made unlisted and moved across to their new home.

There has been a lot of feedback around the Sleep Space podcast, and we are listening to you. So now, not only is it available on Spotify and other platforms www.buzzsprout.com/2250635 it will now also be available on YouTube on the Extra channel. This is a compromise solution as not every subscriber wanted to get these podcast notifications on the main channel.

Also, new features! We are going to be adding ambient music to the end of the podcasts for about 10 mins to give you a good opportunity to fall asleep before the end of the episode, so each episode should now be at least 25 mins long. And because YouTube is a video platform, we'll have new relaxing visuals which you can leave up on your TV as the episode plays.

Lastly, Astrum Extra is going to have more content besides just the podcast. We are going to use the channel to trial some new things from time to time, so if you want to see everything we have up our sleeves, do come and join us there and subscribe.

Thanks everyone

Alex

Hey guys, it's been a while since I did a Spirit Rover video as they didn't really do so well at the time. But it's been a couple of years now, I'm wondering if there would be interest in me picking this up again now? Let me know by liking this post, if it gets 10k likes I'll set this in motion! I'd really love to complete the series if you are interested!

This is a bit of a last-minute decision, but I've been invited to come to Open Sauce this year in San Francisco! If you are planning on coming, look out for me and come and say hi! It's a YT convention with a lot of educational channel creators there. I'm hoping to also meet some of my YT heroes! If you would like to come, here's the event page. See you there! opensauce.com/

Today is World Ocean Day! But why only look at the oceans close to home? We've put together a playlist that celebrates bodies of water across the solar system. Take a look! www.youtube.com/playlist?list...

Send yourself to sleep this evening with the Astrum Sleep Space podcast. 😴

On this weeks episode we learn about the innocently named Lunar Nodal Cycle and why we need to start developing a much better understanding of the fluctuating behaviour of our Moon if we are to protect ourselves against its dangers.

The Astrum Sleep Space podcast is the perfect place to come and wind down for the evening while you learn more about the grandeur of the universe.

Check the pinned comment to listen to the podcast! ⬇️

Happy International Astronomy Day! 🌌 🔭

To celebrate why not take yourself on a journey through our galactic neighbourhood from the eyes of the Voyager Probes. From the comfort of your own home, of course.

Comment of the month goes to Patreon member Stuart Isaacson with:

"Hey, I think you should just make cat videos. Enough with the space stuff.

Nobody cares about black holes and planets with stupid names. I'm still paying off student loans and meanwhile people are wasting millions and millions of dollars to make little cars that drive in circles on some barren planet. I'm tired of being told a blurry red blob is a picture of the ancient universe. There's no way - how do I know what it is? It could be a picture of a carpet stain. People are really stupid to fall for that. Like the moon "landing." That was so obviously filmed on some backlot in Hollywood.

What's the point in making videos about places we'll never ever get to? Like, this planet is a million light years away. First, how do I know that's correct? Are we supposed to simply accept that number because some "expert" said so. And if it's really that far away then thinking about is pointless. On the other hand, cat videos are not only fun to watch but totally relevant. Lots of people have cats - they could learn something, too, that actually is practical. I even had a cat. I'm not sure where it is now, but anyway, a good cat video could have helped me prevent it from wandering off. One thing's for sure - it's not on Proxima B or whatever it's called.

I don't want to hear about habitable zones anymore either. Any place can be a habitable zone. It's just a ruse to make viewers think that aliens live there in some utopia and one day they'll come to save us. The only real habitable zone is at the Walmart down the block from me.

That's why YouTube cat videos are important. It grounds people to a friendly reality. You never hear cats talk about the Fermi Paradox. You know why? Because it doesn't mean anything. Cats want to know important things - like where the next bowl of Fancy Feast cat food is - not some esoteric nonsense about where the aliens are. In fact, they know if the aliens do show up they're not bringing little toy mice to play with. So who cares. In fact, as a paid member, I should point out that it's much easier and cost-effective to use my money to make exciting and humorous cat videos! Like the one where the cat keeps chasing the laser pointer image until it falls into the bathtub. That's the kind of quality productions we all really want. Who cares what Venus looks like? I'm never going there.

STOP

I'm kidding. You guys do an amazing job! I'm happy to help sponsor you. Keep up the great work."

Do you think they have a point?
