- Hi, we're Astronomy Club, and today,
we're gonna teach you about astronomy.
(bright orchestral music)
All right, so somebody pick something out the hat.
- Galileo Galilei.
- Come on, now.
♪ Galileo ♪
- Everyone knows about Galileo Galilei,
or as we like to call double G.
(group chatting)
Well, everyone knows that this,
he was the first person to create pizza.
Back in ancient times, they didn't have tebelscobes.
- [Woman] Like the '60s.
- [Shawtane] Which is the cousin to the telescope.
So they would use pizzas
- Fact.
- Dark energy.
Okay, all right, well, dark energy, obviously,
is because you see blackness is not just confined
to the Earth.
Darkness expands to the reaches beyond,
and the dark energy is what propels
the planets around the sun!
- Exactly. - That's right.
That's accurate.
Grab one, okay. - You go ahead.
- Let's see here.
Okay, SWEEPS-11.
- [Group] Sweeps, sweeps!
- Okay, so that has everything to do with rings,
how many rings are around planets.
- Yeah. - Yup.
- Now, if you look close at a ring around a planet,
it's not an actual ring.
It's little particles of dust.
And how they get there?
This energy sweeps them together,
and there are 11 of them.
- 11 is the maximum.
- Let's try a hard one, let's try.
All right, oh, flash spectrum.
- [Man] Come on, man.
- All right, well, we wanted a hard one,
but we got flash spectrum.
So there are these things called gamma rays.
- [Man] Yes, yes, yes, gamma rays.
- So when stars explode, it creates a flash.
Now, this flash, there's a spectrum that we can, using
technology.
- You get to see it with technology.
- We can see it with the technology,
and you see the spectrum of the flash
in which the particles of the gamma ray
show.
- Let's pick this next one.
This one, oh, William Herschel.
(group sighing affectionately)
Not only does he make great backpacks,
but he also is space related in the sense
that he came up with the Herschel Theory.
If you a big body of mass, I'm gonna call you a planet.
William Herschel came up with that.
- The Herschel Theory.
- Oh, I love Billy.
What's next, what's next?
Synchrotron radiation.
I'm gonna say that in, synchrotron radiation.
It's radiation that's got a beat, right?
Because the universe has a rhythm.
It vibes throughout space and time,
and we're all vibing together,
and the radiation has different waves,
the wavelengths, a big wavelength, a little wavelength,
and it's spreads radiation.
That's what that means.
- Raymond, Raymond Cordova?
- Yes, Ray!
- I mean this is almost silly to say.
Gamma-ray burst.
You know, my grandmother on my father's side.
- [Group] Yeah, yeah.
- She had a little problem drinking, and she'd act out.
And sometimes I was the victim of that.
So we used to call on my house old Gamma Ray Burst.
Energy is what's in space, and energy is always going,
and I'm telling.
You can ask about this.
One time she whooped me so bad,
that energy is still out there.
It just keeps going.
- Let me just get one of these, you know.
Yeah, I went to school.
All right, what we got?
All right, molecular glass, I mean gas clouds.
See, the thing you don't know about the small
'cause that means small.
Sometimes when you on the elevator, right?
- [Man] Mm-hmm.
- [Jerah] And someone just lets one go,
and all of a sudden, you're like, ah,
get me off this elevator,
but you don't wanna open your mouth
because of the little gas clouds are so small
that it goes into your mouth,
and now that has gotten into your body.
So now that person has disrespected you.
- [Woman] Disrespect.
- Because they didn't know that your mouth was open,
and now the molecular (speaks gibberish), you know, gas.
- Say, it brother, preach, - You know what I'm saying?
It's in your body.
- So you're saying molecular gas clouds are from farts?
- Yeah.
- But how does that translate into the stars?
- [Man] Yeah, the astronomy.
- [Jerah] It's that when the planet rotates,
what it's doing is it's letting out that gas,
but it doesn't wanna smell it itself,
so it has to move away.
- So it keeps, it's keeping.
- So it's trying to run away from itself.
- It's avoiding its own gas.
- [Jerah] 'Cause it don't wanna get in its own mouth.
- Oh, snap. - It doesn't wanna get
in his own mouth.
- That fart is like a comet, right?
And it's then entering a different celestial body.
- And now you guys know a little bit more about astronomy.
- and if it doesn't make sense,
well, you don't understand metaphors.
- [Woman] Yeah.
- That's kind of on you.
- It's your fault. - It's your fault.
- If you wanna learn more, keep watching Astronomy Club,
the sketch show.
- [Woman] On Netflix, maybe you'll learn something.
