Juliano Righetto is a Brazilian science communicator whose YouTube channel, 'somos míopes porque somos breves' — loosely translating to 'we are myopic because we are brief' — frames his entire content philosophy: that humanity's perspective is too narrow relative to the scale of the cosmos. Operating primarily in Portuguese, he produces long-form, essay-style videos on astronomy, cosmology, and the existential questions they provoke, covering topics ranging from the nature of black holes and anomalous galaxies to the fine-tuning argument for a designed universe. Beyond YouTube, Righetto is a published science fiction author, with 'A Segunda Aurora' released through Editora Chiado — a credential that distinguishes him from typical science popularizers and gives his storytelling instincts a literary grounding that shapes how he builds narrative tension around abstract scientific concepts.
His audience is overwhelmingly Brazilian, adult-skewing, and male-dominated, with the plurality landing in the 35-and-older demographic — a profile consistent with viewers who approach science content reflectively rather than casually. His engagement rate runs far above category norms, signaling a retained, loyal community rather than a passive subscriber base. Sponsorships from Mercado Bitcoin and Babbel — a crypto exchange and a language-learning app — suggest brands seeking educated, intellectually curious adults with disposable income and an appetite for self-improvement. As Portuguese-language science communication continues to grow as a distinct genre on YouTube, Righetto's combination of philosophical framing, published authorship, and a deeply committed audience positions him as a credible mid-tier voice with room to expand into documentary production or educational partnerships.
Julianorighetto reaches its audience primarily through YouTube, and is best activated via long-form YouTube integrations, Instagram Reels and Stories. As an education creator they map naturally to brands targeting that space. Demonstrated partners include Mercado Bitcoin and Insider Store. Engagement on YouTube runs around 13.4%, pointing to an audience suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel brand campaigns rather than pure-reach buys.

The name translates roughly to 'we are myopic because we are brief,' implying that humans — too short-lived in cosmic terms — can never fully see the big picture of the universe. It is the official name of Julianorighetto's YouTube channel and functions as both a philosophical statement and a framing device for his science content.
Yes — Julianorighetto is the author of A Segunda Aurora, a science fiction novel published by Editora Chiado. The book sits alongside his YouTube work as a signal that he approaches science not just as an educator but as a storyteller who blends speculative fiction with real scientific ideas.
One of his videos poses exactly that question: 'What if Sagittarius A*... IS NOT A BLACK HOLE?' This is a signature move for his channel — taking a widely accepted scientific concept and stress-testing it through a 'what if' scenario to spark curiosity. The framing is exploratory rather than a denial of established astronomy.
Yes, some of his videos are produced in English, including explorations of universal fine-tuning and a guide to all types of stars. His channel is primarily aimed at a Brazilian Portuguese-speaking audience, but the bilingual approach reflects an ambition to reach science enthusiasts internationally.
Yes — one of his videos directly asks whether the fine-tuning of the universe indicates it was created by God. It is a good example of how his channel sits at the intersection of hard science and philosophical inquiry, engaging viewers who enjoy both empirical astronomy and deeper existential questions.
Apocalyptic and existential scenarios are a genuine part of his content, tagged with #fimdomundo (end of the world) and #apocalipse. He approaches these topics through a scientific lens, examining real cosmic threats and timelines rather than sensationalizing doomsday ideas.
Mars and its colonization potential are recurring themes on his channel, reflected in hashtags like #marte and #colonização. He tends to frame these topics within larger questions about humanity's long-term survival and the science of deep-space travel, consistent with his broader focus on the future of the universe.
Recent sponsors include Mercado Bitcoin, one of Brazil's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, Insider Store, and Babbel, the language-learning platform. The sponsor mix points to an audience that is tech-literate, financially curious, and interested in self-improvement — a natural fit for an astronomy and science education channel.
Julianorighetto lists a PIX key directly in his YouTube channel bio for fans who want to contribute to the channel's growth. PIX is Brazil's instant payment network, and this kind of direct community funding is a common model among independent educational creators in Brazil who supplement sponsorship income with audience support.
All available signals point to Brazil — his content is primarily in Brazilian Portuguese, he uses Brazil's PIX payment system to accept fan donations, and the overwhelming majority of his audience is based in Brazil. His work is firmly rooted in Brazilian science communication culture.
