Man : *trying to explain* Me : *spinning in circles*

Astronomer 1:what should we name these planets? Astronomer 2: slams head on the keyboard Astronomer 1:nice
-
That water world was a 1000x scarier than Dantes Inferno. I was relieved to be in hell after that waves.
-
I am just grateful to be able to experience the greatness of technology. 100 years ago, humans would never have thought that future humans could look around in space while being in the comfort of their own homes. I hope someday every school would entrust the students to find one exoplanet so we can all work together to curate more planets to be observed
-
I hope one day we can take that tour in person
-
The water one gave me almost a panic attack cuz im terafied of deep waters and drowning but the last one whas so beautiful ecpecally the sky I would want to live there it's so pretty
-
Ok the waves 6:00 really freaked me out I actually felt like I am in Ocean or something
-
From opening the movie overview to the end of the movie overview, at least 36 turns in 360 degrees, and finally go to sleep and just woke up to chat! The visual effect is excellent, immersive and at the same time as if the other party is nurturing the neighbors with alien-style science in the outer space galaxy! ... Very Nice!

Out off all the planets I got scared of the frieking sea🤦🏻♀️
-
It's scary to think that we are not alone in the universe. And its also scary to think we are alone in this whole universe. Damn
-
Even if only virtual, places like that last planet make me feel something so unique and hard to describe. It looks gorgeous.
-
This make me start to cry, i have too much fear to space, I don't remember the name of that phobia but, space scare me a lot.
-
There's no way we are alone in the universe..

Teacher: what did you do during this lockdown Me: went on a trip to many exoplanets in my living room
-
This is definitely next level education. I would have so payed attention to science class more if we had this then. What an incredible experience!
-
This was far more fascinating than I thought it would be. Thank you.
-
The water one is SO creepy. The last one is beautiful but the red thing in thr sky creeped me out.
-
Like 95% of who watches this has no VR items or even headphones
-
I just love the fact that you travel to a water world with massive waves then like a minute later: oh look at that! Im being cooked alive by watery lava and raining molten metals with maroon clouds!
-
The last planet is absolutely beautiful!
