Build a space travel website > background-size: cover and background-position

Hi everyone, I just completed the above-mentioned Scrimba course.

My questions are related to this video: https://scrimba.com/learn/spacetravel/adding-the-background-images-cof4b40e185ce1ca26fd638c0, where Kevin adds background images to the homepage. I couldn't understand how exactly background-size: cover works together with background-position .

My questions:
1) I couldn't understand what he's saying and meaning at 0:43 - if were on a weird screen sizes it’s not gonna run the image is exploding on the top. I can't hear well what's the exact wording. Probably it has to do with the default background-position?
2) The different positions on mobile and tablet versions made sense in the course, but I have a fiddle -> https://jsfiddle.net/g5ysc92k/ on which I tested different combinations of values for background-position and the result was that bottom center, center center and top center give the same result. And I can't understand why?
