It's yours to keep and no money down. Thank you. Keating brand telescope. Thanks for the gift. And I looked at Jupiter. And when you look at Jupiter, as I hope you'll do tonight or with your crew later on, you will see not only the planet, not only its little atmospheric stripes, maybe even the great red spot, which is amazing, three times bigger than the Earth.
You can see it from Earth with this little telescope I got you. But you see four little stars. And there are four stars that are to the left, to the right. They're in a plane with the midpoint of these equatorial storms that are brewing on Jupiter. We know that they've been going on for at least 400 years because Galileo saw them. So that sets a limit, a minimum time.

They're enormous hurricanes on the planet. And the equatorial bands like the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. So there's plenty of water up there that's raining down? No, it's not water at all. It's methane, ammonia, but it's a fluid. So it behaves like a fluid doesn't. So you have these swirling whorls and colors will amaze you. You'll see colors on an astronomical object.

It's going to blow your mind. And not only is it going to blow your mind because you're doing it, you're going to feel unique in all of science. You will feel what Galileo felt. You won't know that he felt it before you. A billion people have seen it since then. Because for you, it's new. And for you, you're viscerally connected to the maestro, to Galileo, and what he did.

And there's no other branch of science that's like that. You can't look at the Higgs boson. First of all, no one person did. It's a team of 3,700 people that discovered the Higgs boson. And seven people predicted the Higgs boson. Higgs is just one of them. One of my professors at Brown was another one, Jared Gralnick. He passed away, unfortunately. He never won the Nobel Prize, but...

But the point is you can't know what that felt like. You can't know what it felt like to discover gravitational waves because thousands of people did it recently in 2015. But the question of visceral connection to the first discoverer of that phenomenon, it's unique to astronomy. I don't know of another branch of science where you can have that.

And best of all, from here in the center of LA, you can see the same craters. You can see these four Galilean โ they're called the Galilean moons of Jupiter โ And we're sending spacecraft there now to see if they have life on it. It's incredible, Andrew. There's nothing else like that in all of science. For $50 to $60, I have a list on my website, BrianKeating.com.

I have a telescope buyer's guide that I send to people. I don't make any money from it. It's just I love to share science with the public, just like you. But in my case, it's astronomy. And for $50 or $75, you can have this experience that Galileo had. It's an awesome feeling. I think that's what kept me going.
