2. For each of (a), (b), and (c) below, write an answer about 20-40 words long. What were one or
more important concepts or equations the speaker on the video was describing:
(a) between 0:01 and 10:00 of the video?

(c) between 20:01 and the end of the video?
3. Go to the playlist youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8dPuuaLjXtPAJr1ysd5yGIyiSFuh0mIL (Crash
Course Astronomy with Phil Plait) and watch the videos below. For each video, write 30-50
words describing one or more interesting facts and concepts presented there. For each thing you
highlight, give the time stamp on the video when it is being presented. Look in the OpenStax
Astronomy textbook, Chapter 11 (The Giant Planets) for additional knowledge as well.
[a] Jupiter: Crash Course Astronomy #16 (youtube.com/watch?v=Xwn8fQSW7-8)
[b] Jupiter's Moons: Crash Course Astronomy #17 (youtube.com/watch?v=HaFaf7vbgpE)
[c] Saturn: Crash Course Astronomy #18 (youtube.com/watch?v=E8GNde5nCSg)

4. In a 30-50 word paragraph, connect the content in these videos to the description of the
structure of the solar system given in the Lecture 10 video by discussing this question:
Giant gas planets less than 2 AU away from their stars have been found in many other solar
systems, so why are there no giant gas planets at similar distances in our own solar system?
