Still looking into it. It was about the evolution of our planet, part of it was the moon. Time management is also not my forte.
Baby the stars shine bright...

Thank you, John, for finding something both visually stimulating as well as brief. Now I'll look more into comets, though I've known about 1998 OR2, that should have zipped (and presumably did) near-Earth around 29th of April, I've seen some photos, already, although I am not sure if it was recent or not.
It's good to have a look at NASA NEO (near Earth objects?) website for information about comets and asteroids, I'll post some links about it if you'd be interested.
Ok, discovered PBS has a seperate channel on the history of Earth, sweet.

Hey, don't worry, if you can find something, that's great, if no, no pressure. There's plenty on youtube, that I could speed through, I guess
Time-management is though, cheers to that. (and we're only humans with internet access few clicks away)I have yet to find someone, who can confidently say that they are great in that.

Please do
- I must go out next clear night and see if I can actually see any of these.Please do
Well, these could help, the first one has Close approaches tab with a comprehensive table (NEOs) with all currently expected flybys.

If you are able to spot some, would you please post some photos, if that's possible?
Thank you.

If you have a mobile device, this is also a handy app. You can aim your phone/tablet towards the sky and it will automatically set the track visually to it.
I do have a phone, yes (?),
but not Apple though. However, I heard about this app. Good tip anyway, thank you!
But is there by any chance anythink that you could recommend for Android? (I was looking into some apps already, but I'm asking if you'd know something good, or I'll just try something myself)
Ah, thought that one was for both ios and android.
this one is good on android:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vitotechnology.StarWalk2Free&hl=en_US
this one i had installed but is more basic if i'm correct

No problem, just did a quick review check on the first one, looked good + it has AR. The other one I did use before (saw it as installed in my google page).
Yeah, I know. AR sounds so cool given the context. Well, still I'd probably have to delete some *crucial* apps, to get it in...We'll see.
I’ve been recently getting back into astronomy again now that I have the time. And been researching more about telescopes and wanting to take advantage of the clear skies that Arizona has. Was telling my boyfriend @JamieUK92 that once we move in together, I want to invest in a good telescope that he and I can use.
Though clearer skies is a bit harder in the U.K., but not impossible!
I may have posted this on this thread, but I’m posting it again because it is so fascinating!

Ohh, Feynmann
. That's beautiful, thank you Dragu, because I agree with his views of the complexity. It's just near and dear to me.
Edit2: He's a part of the reasoning for my inclination towards science. He's curious, he sees things with colour and it fragments for him into multitude of questions, that just sparkle and create this effect anew. It's boundless joy about the universe and all that is.
It just makes you go deeper...

What telescopes look the best given the price and purpose...?And thank you for the video, that's a really good shot, that came out of that. It's seriously extraordinary to see planets from your balcony!
