Neptune (planet): Instamentary

blogadmin - Friday, 10 February 2012 11:06

Neptune was the first planet to be found through mathematical deduction, rather than by observation by telescope. (This video repeats itself starting at 05:05. Commercials that repeat are proven to make listeners remember details. This documentary attempts to soften that effect with new graphics and a unique ending.) Neptune was first observed by Galileo, but at that moment it was in retrograde (a temporary pause in the sky due to Earth’s rotation), so Galilei thought it was a star, and not a planet (‘πλάνης’, greek for “wanderer”). Neptune was named for Poseidon/Neptune, the Greco-Roman god of the sea, who bears a massive, unmistakable trident. Narration from Neptune’s Wikipedia article: en.wikipedia.org Soundtrack: Neptune Sector 6 by dj Böf, slowed down as if it were a 45 record playing on a 78 turntable. www.archive.org This is a demo of Instamentary, a program that creates an instant documentary. Let us know what Wikipedia article you’d like to turn into a documentary!

    @PEKET0 The atmosphere is made of hydrogen and helium. Lower down in the atmosphere, there is methane and ammonia, the colour is primarily caused by methane

  12. CommentsPerceptionista   |  Friday, 10 February 2012 at 4:41 pm

    @DarkOsmotic Yeah, that’s most probably correct. Jerry Goldsmith most probably used Holst’s piece as a temp track for the movie score.

    he, much of the film music everywhere is inspired by ‘the music of the planets’

  17. Commentselmoteroloco   |  Friday, 10 February 2012 at 6:30 pm

    @DeoxiNA
    Holst denied him & the astrophysics of the world declare him a dwarf!!!

  18. CommentsKornflower22   |  Friday, 10 February 2012 at 7:19 pm

    Never mind about Pluto. Remember it is no longer even considered a planet. I’ve been listening to “The Planets” since I was sixteen years old and I always thought it sounds better without a ‘Pluto” (however there actually was a seperate piece written for Pluto much later, and it was not by Gustav Holst.) Savvy??

    these pieces by holst also fit the gods from greek and roman mythology

    @MNSam86 I guess I need to make this simple. The Earth changes-warm to cool and warmer (with an assist from Mr. Sun). Ice ages come and go, all independent of Mankind’s egos and feelings. More recently, the Little Ice Age lasted for hundreds of years and caused crops to fail and widespread starvation. If the planet is a little warmer than 500 years ago, that is a good thing for humans. Sheesh. End of rant. Love the music and your video show, ensimon. Thanks!

    @bblue82 This is my point. Scientific theories change with the accumulation of data or information, i.e. our friend Pluto. “Science” is used today by left wing activists who take a snapshot of the planet’s thermal and ecological state and proclaim that this is the way it always should be. Faulty computer “models” are created to reinforce an agenda toward deconstructing our economies to bring the population into their predetermined condition-small numbers and no industry.
