Why is it named Beetlegeuse?
how big is the sun
Funny impression
I’ve seen Fools Gold. It’s pretty cool!
I am excited to see the new launch of science live!
I really enjoyed learning about wave length and frequency! It was fascinating to learn that we cannot actually see violet
I love the Science Live videos:)
Why is Pluto not a planet it’s still there it’s not leaving it maybe be on the last ring but Pluto does a lot for our solar system
Why is Pluto not planet?
Would we die if the earth orbits around the sun faster?
I think it is cool that electricity can provide oxygen for submarines.
I cannot wait to see if we really discover Planet X, or if it really does not exist.
I really enjoyed this video; my favorite part was about the submarines and the boy who found 2 meteorites
Science videos are great
I love watching Science Live
Are there anymore stuff out there in space that was never heard of?
I really wonder if we will ever discover if planet x is real or not!
I love learning about space!
This explains ALOT
shooting stars are very pretty
i really enjoy watching the science live videos
These videos are really enjoyable and very interesting
you think Pluto will ever be reconsidered as a planet again
learning more about Pluto was very interesting.
he’s super lucky that he saw a meteorite
I wonder if we are going to discover new planets soon though.
Maybe we all can go IN PERSON?!
yas
I love that I get to learn more cool stuff that I never knew 🙂
Planet X seems cool.
i love live sciences
I wonder if we will discover planet x or not. This video is so cool!
I love it
where was the Manhattan Project building exactly?
Love science! So exited to see the exploration of new planets.
I have fools gold, it takes your breath away! I am doing research to see if one of my rocks is a meteor, and I am 50⁒ sure that it is one.
The first submarine was nice, very interesting the way it functions.
I have learned so much from watching these Science Live videos. Please keep them coming! Knowledge is Power!
Great video loved learning about the meteorites.
I can’t wait to see if planet x exists or not
Some meteorites are chunks of the moon.
how would they lower down the system?
This was a funny one.
Planet X is so interesting.
I can’t wait to learn more about Planet X, it seems so mysterious
This was really cool!
Shooting stars are so beautiful and I’m glad I got to learn more about them!
i love this school
How big is the sun?
This was s funny episode!
I wonder if analyzing the positions of objects in the Kuiper Belt would allow us to determine where planet 9 should be. Then all you would have to do is look and see if it’s there.
Speaking of meteors there is a meteor that is going to come close to the earth people are calling it the new moon
Cool video!
We enjoyed watching it and learned a lot.
Wow, Pluto is considered a dwarf planet
how many people will it take to fill up earth?
i like r 51 he is a good techer and we shuld have him arawn more
I love science
This episode was awesome! Keep up the good work!
why did they name it planet x ?
It is the most interesting video ever seen in my lifetime.
Fun fact: People often get hit by meteorites. Another thing here, there’s only been one meteor that was believed to hit a car and that person got famous and the car too. How interesting tell us more information about these comets
If the submarines where ran of diesel engines how did the air in the submarine not get polluted
Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What will the new planet be called if it is discovered?
What will planet x be called if it’s discovered?

yooooo this is fire keep up the work
This new episode is pretty cool.
Who does Acellus
Does the sun have a gravitational pull in order to keep the planets in orbit.
I learned a lot, it was good .
If planet X was real I wonder if people could live on it.

I liked when Tobias was giving details about the submarine.
I liked when they we’re showing us the shiny rocks.

What is the biggest meteorite ever found
Have you ever wondered if the earth was flat?
How big was the largest recorded meteorite so far
learned a lot from science live.
Amazing
I saw a shooting star once a few years ago at Simpson Park, in California, while night hiking. It was beautiful, but a bit scary because it seemed so close.
I really like Science Live. I want to be in the Ventioneering club. I like to take things apart and see if I can put it back together again. Even if there is a planet X we might not even go on it. I like r-51 he is really funny
I can not wait to see what they find in space with that huge camera. I have never seen a fire ball before. Love R-51
Shooting star are cool to learn about
I like Dr. Tobias’ story of the submarine and I love his jokes🤣
I think that the thought of parts of our planet might not be from our planet is an interesting thought
Cool
I have not seen a shooting star yet.
Is planet x a real planet !!!!!!!
Awesome
cool
Do you think you can have another science live video but featuring Neil DeGrasse? and the main topic can be blackholes. and ask him what he thinks of hydrogen cars.
I love learning about the skies, stars, planets ETC!!
i love learning about space
Shooting stars are meteors, I see one really cool before I said, wow, this is just crazy. 🙂 🙂 😀
meteors are very expensive
I love space and there is a lot to learn.
