In an effort to explain daunting astronomical concepts like the speed of light and the scale of the universe, a NASA scientist has turned to animation and created a series of nifty and easy to understand explainer videos that have become popular across social media.
So far James O’Donoghue, the creator of the videos and a planetary scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, has six explainer videos on YouTube.
The videos have amassed almost a million combined views, which is quite a feat considering the complicated concepts he deals with.
Dr. O’Donoghue has even used his animation talents to make fun of flat earthers, which of course won us over immediately.
O’Donoghue’s latest animation tackling the concept of the speed of light has been particularly popular, already raking in 200,000 views on YouTube.
