Astronomy Domine cover, by Voivod

In January 1967, prior to recording The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, the band had produced at Sound Techniques Studio in London a single entitled Arnold Layne. The single was later released in March of that year and reached #20 in the British charts. Also in January the band had recorded a 16-minute version of Interstellar Overdrive and an improvised jam called Nick's Boogie, for Peter Whitehead's documentary film Tonite Let's All Make Love in London. (The latter track wasn't released until 1991 on the CD reissue of the film's soundtrack). The band's live show consisted mainly of instrumental numbers and blues covers, however they had started to introduce songs which were written primarily by lead guitarist and lead vocalist Syd Barrett. Many of these songs written by Barrett appeared at the Games For May concert several months before the release of the album. Recording of the album began on the 21 February 1967 in studio three of Abbey Road Studios at the same time The Beatles were recording Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and The Pretty Things were recording S.F. Sorrow. The album was produced by Norman Smith, an EMI staff member who had previously engineered all of The Beatles recordings up to 1965's Rubber Soul. Smith would go on to produce Pink Floyd's follow up album, A Saucerful of Secrets. "Interstellar Overdrive" and "Matilda Mother" were two of the first tracks recorded, as the latter was viewed as a potential single. "Interstellar Overdrive"s kinetic and spacey production, came from the insistence of the normally conservative Norman Smith, whose work on the record is often criticised because it is seen that he tried to make the album more pop orientated[citation needed]. An early, unoverdubbed, shortened mix of the album's "Interstellar Overdrive" was used for a French EP released that July. In April, the band recorded both "Percy the Rat Catcher" (this would later be called "Lucifer Sam"), and a currently unreleased track called "She Was a Millionaire". At some point during the album's creation, Nick Mason recalled that they were "ushered" into studio 2 where The Beatles were recording "Lovely Rita". Several conflicting views surround how efficiently the recording of the album actually went. In his book Inside Out: A Personal History of Pink Floyd, Nick Mason recalled that the sessions went smoothly and that the whole process was extremely efficient. Norman Smith however, condemned both the album's recording and the band members' musical abilities. Smith later stated that the sessions were "sheer hell". However, both "The Gnome" and "The Scarecrow" were recorded in one take. Indeed a large proportion of the album is credited solely to Barrett, with tracks such as "Bike" having been written in late 1966 before the album was even started. "Bike" was originally entitled "The Bike Song", and it was recorded on 21 May 1967. The last recording session took place on 5 July 1967, with the track "Pow R. Toc H." being one of last songs added to the album. Vic Singh photographed and designed the album cover, unlike subsequent Pink Floyd albums. The album remains one of the few to actually feature the band members on the front cover. The album's title comes from the title of Chapter Seven, "THE PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN," of Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows, where Rat and Mole, while searching for Portly, the lost son of Otter, are drawn to a place where the 'Piper' is playing on his reed flute. "`This is the place of my song-dream, the place the music played to me,' whispered the Rat, as if in a trance. `Here, in this holy place, here if anywhere, surely we shall find Him!'" (The 'Piper' referred to is the Greek god Pan.) Portly was found near Pan. The title was later referred to by Stevie Wonder in the song "Power Flower" from the 1979 album Journey through the Secret Life of Plants ("Fire and air, earth water I prepare/I am the piper at the gates of dawning"), by Van Morrison in the song "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" from his 1997 album The Healing Game and also by the metal band Iron Maiden in the song "Wicker Man" from the 2000 album Brave New World ("The piper at the gates of dawn is calling you his way"). Furthermore, Pink Floyd's later song "Shine On You Crazy Diamond," dedicated to Barrett and detailing his decline, refers to him as "you piper, you prisoner;" this may also be an allusion to the album's title. Lyrics: Lime and limpid green a second scene, A fight between the blue you once knew. Floating down the sound resounds Around the icy waters underground Jupiter and Saturn Oberon Miranda and Titania Neptune Titan Stars can frighten...you Blinding signs flap flicker flicker flicker Blam pow pow Stairway scare Dan Dare,who's there? Lime and limpid green The sound surrounds the icy waters under Lime and limpid green The sound surrounds the icy waters Underground

The pilot episode of 'CrAP Debunked'. If you liked this video, please help to spread it. Various images/videos produced by ESA/NASA/ESO. Errata: 1. The phrase "Infinite volume hypothesis" is incorrect here. I meant to say either "Infinite density hypothesis" or "Zero volume hypothesis" (each implies the other). 2. Typo. The proton is in fact around one TRILLION times smaller than a full stop, not one billion. 3. Typo. This should of course read "..YouTube account". Thanks to Agnostic1 for making me aware of that!

Las Pléyades (que significa "palomas" en griego), también conocidas como Objeto Messier 45, Messier 45, M45, Las Siete Hermanas o Cabrillas, es un objeto visible a simple vista en el cielo nocturno con un prominente lugar en la mitología antigua, situado a un costado de la constelación Tauro. Las Pléyades son un puñado de estrellas muy jóvenes las cuales se sitúan a una distancia aproximada de 450 años luz de la Tierra y están contenidas en un espacio de treinta años luz. Se formaron aproximadamente hace apenas unos 100 millones de años, durante la era Mesozoica en la Tierra, a partir del colapso de una nube de gas interestelar. Las estrellas más grandes y brillantes del cúmulo son de color blanco-azulado y cerca de cinco veces más grandes que el Sol. La distancia al cúmulo ha sido estimada por muchos métodos, pues es un paso importante en la calibración de las distancias en el universo. El conocimiento exacto de la distancia de las Pléyades le permite a los astrónomos trazar un diagrama de Hertzsprung-Russell, para estimar la distancia a otros cúmulos desconocidos. Otros métodos pueden entonces extender la escala de distancia, de cúmulos abiertos a galaxias y posteriormente a cúmulos de galaxias, permitiendo construir una escala cósmica de distancias. Los resultados anteriores al lanzamiento del satélite Hipparcos encontraron que las Pléyades estaban aproximadamente a unos 135 parsec (440 años luz) de la Tierra. Hipparcos causó consternación entre los astrónomos al encontrar una distancia de solamente 118 parsec (384,7 años luz) midiendo el paralaje de algunas estrellas del cúmulo, una técnica que debe de indicar los resultados más directos y exactos. Trabajos más recientes han encontrado que la distancia calculada por Hipparcos era errónea, si bien se desconoce la causa de este error. La distancia específica de las Pléyades todavía se desconoce, pero actualmente se piensa que la verdadera distancia es mayor que 135 parsec. El cúmulo tiene unos 12 años luz de diámetro y contiene un total aproximadamente 500 estrellas. Está dominada por estrellas azules jóvenes, de las cuales 8 pueden ser observadas a simple vista dependiendo de las condiciones atmosféricas (cielos muy limpios y ausencia de Luna): Taygeta, Pleione, Merope, Maia, Electra, Celaeno, Atlas y Alcyone El orden de sus estrellas más brillantes es parecido al de la Osa Mayor y Osa Menor, con una masa total estimada en unas 800 masas solares. El cúmulo está compuesto en una buena parte por enanas marrones —objetos con menos del 8% de la masa solar, los cuales son demasiado livianos para ser estrellas. Puede que estos objetos constituyan aproximadamente el 25% de la población total del cúmulo, a pesar de que sólo contribuyan al 2% su masa total. También, presentes en el cúmulo están las enanas blancas, las cuales contradicen la posible edad del cúmulo. Debido a la corta edad del cúmulos, no se espera que las estrellas normales puedan haber evolucionado para convertirse en enanas blancas. Se cree que en vez de ser estrellas individuales de poca o mediana masa, los progenitores de estas estrellas eran masivas y orbitaban en sistemas binarios. Durante su rápida evolución, la transferencia de masa de la estrella más masiva a su acompañante, pudo haber acelerado su evolución hacia una enana blanca.

My friend Tina is a teacher in Austin. She asked her sixth grade students to send me questions they had about astronomy, and I answer them on question. There were so many I had to split this into *5* parts! This is Part 3, and these are the questions they asked me: 1) How do planets form? 2) Does Mars have polar ice caps? 3) What's a meteoroid? 4) How do we measure temperatures on distant planets? 5) How large is the asteroid belt? 6) What happened to "Planet X"? 7) Can the Earth blow up?

In this episode, we'll look at a couple of bogus attempts to undermine science related to Lunar and Solar astrophysics. I apologise for the somewhat erratic sound/volume in this video. I did not record it all in one go, and I have no idea what I'm doing in iMovie. The next one will be better. To those who were referred to me by DonExodus2, thank you for checking out my videos and I hope you'll like what you see enough to subscribe. To DonExodus2 himself, thank you very much indeed for your support. Various multimedia in this video was created by NASA/ESA/JAXA/ESO/Berkley/Exeter Errata: 1. I apologise, this is just completely wrong. It was thought up until 1965 that Mercury was tidally locked to the Sun, but was proven to have 3:2 spin orbit resonance. That means for every 2 years on Mercury, there are 3 days. One Mercurian year is about 88 Terran days and one Mercurian day about 59 Terran days. I think I was once told that Mercury *was* thought to be tidally locked with the Sun, and confused that to mean it was the current consesus. Again, sorry!

Just a little astronomy info for you. We are but a tiny spec in this infinate universe. This is a model of the planets in our solar system and the sizes of stars which have been found. Did you know our sun is like a spec of dust compared to the other stars in the universe? The Sun is a yellow dwarf. See for yourself. This video shows the perspective of how large stars are relative to our sun. PROFOUND!

Those stately galaxies we've long admired are not exactly what we thought. Bad Astronomer Phil Plait takes you into the violent world of galactic predators.
