If the first video is anything to go by, you'll want to subscribe to this one

It's no surprise to anyone that MinutePhysics is one of the most popular YouTube channels that may actually teach you something. Yet, updates have been few and far between recently.

Fret not, now, you'll have two channels that won't be updated for ages, since there is now MinuteEarth, from the same people that brought you MinutePhysics.

As the name suggests, the focus of the new channel – and it's an entirely new channel not just a new show – is on our glorious world and not the entire universe.

From the looks of the first video, you can expect much of the same, scientific trivia delivered in an easy to swallow packet.

The video is only a couple of days old and it's proving quite popular, so you can expect more videos like this, hopefully more often than has been the case with MinutePhysics.
