This was used as one of the break time videos at the monthly All Space Considered talk at the Griffith Observatory last Friday

the narrator is Andrew Pontzen, who also takes part in an excellent monthly astronomy podcast- Naked Astronomy, a spin off of the equally excellent weekly podcast Naked Scientists hosted by Chris Smith. I highly recommend both. Hadn’t seen this video though!

Agreed. It didn’t sound like Cox at all, except for the accent of course.

That’s not actually Brian Cox narrating the video. It was featured, as Stathis Dimopoulos said on Stargazing Live 2012. I believe the narrator in the video, is the scientist from that episode, where he explained it live. I don’t know his name unfortunately.

If Brian Cox and Phil Plait both like it….then it MUST be good!

Well done. I always enjoy Brian Cox’s narration (but somehow it really annoys me when he says “methane”).

There is a general consensus that Americans think a British accent makes people sound smarter. That may be true, but there is also a consensus that a New York accent makes them sound dumber. Those people have never listened to Mike Massimino.

Nice, but by the time I got to the end I was expecting something else.
