  1. Hi Everyone! Here is the next supercut as requested. This is three New Horizons episodes merged into one. I put a lot of effort into making this feel like one episode so I hope it was worth it to you! If you enjoyed that, have that feeling of outer space in your room with this Floating Moon Lamp https://www.encalife.com/pages/_go_/floating-moon-lamp?ref=5403:574869

  2. Day 12 UPDATE: Still at 89%! This is my most disliked video ever, by a wide margin (by nearly 3x)! But thank you to the many people who did like and enjoy this video 🙏 - Day 4 Edit: 89%! - 53- hour EDIT: Back down to 90% - 12-hour EDIT: We are up to 91%! Still the lowest on the channel but an improvement! For those wondering, we are 37 mins in and I'm sitting at 88% likes... which for this channel is very low.

  3. Oh my goodness... I can't believe it -_- yes I meant galaxy. The amount of times I read the script and watched the video and I didn't notice...

  4. The Sun would appear small in Pluto's sky, but it wouldn't appear like just any other star, you would really have to go to the outer edge of the limits of the solar system for something close to that. Pluto is actually pretty close compared to a lot of the objects in the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud. Instead, daytime on Pluto would act like twilight on Earth. The shutter speed would also be low to allow more light for each picture. Also, I don't know the specs of the camera they used off hand, but we are seeing consumer cameras coming out today with 5,000,000 ISO or more providing a bright shot in almost pitch black conditions, so photographing Pluto is really not outside the realms of technological possibilities even if it was very poorly illuminated. Hope this helps :)

  5. Sorry for giving you a heart attack...
    2200
  6. To those returning and new to the channel: Hello! The content of this video is from a long running series on my channel. I've basically taken out all the intros and outros from the episodes, removed the sponsor integrations, and re-recorded the audio for a few of the episodes to bring them up to quality with the latter episodes. There's also a few extra clips here and there if I saw something that could be improved. Hopefully now it will feel simply like a single video rather than a collection of many videos, and you can watch it through in one go without interruptions. Enjoy!

  7. Holy smokes, that was still amazingly impressive. That behemoth lifting off the ground was a sight to behold!
    1800
  8. I'm loving the comments on this video, with some great suggestions for follow-up episodes. If you want more in a series around atmospheric phenomena, please like and share this one, and I'll definitely do more. Also, carrying on suggesting! I'm making a list of potential episode topics...
    1700
  9. The supercut of the Black Holes series! All the episodes were written in a way that this supercut could happen once the series was over. I hope it works and it feels like a seamless, epic Astrum episode :)
    1700
  10. A correction - I mention that neutron stars have 10-29 solar masses. That is actually the mass range of the stars neutron stars originate from. Neutron stars after a supernova are actually about 1-2 solar masses. Sorry for the mistake!
    1600
  11. Note: I am saying "ISRO", not Israel!
    1600
  12. It's true. Space is amazing, but there's only one planet Earth, and it is breathtaking.
    1400
  13. Some of you (rightfully) pointed out in the comments of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai video that that explosion was not in fact the biggest explosion caught on camera, so here is the true winner of that title, Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 crashing into Jupiter, captured by Galileo and Hubble.
    1300
  14. Yes, I should have said marsquake rather than earthquake... but I'm sure you all knew what I meant ;)
    1200
  15. There seems to be some confusion about how there are some moons that orbit their planets retrograde. These are moons that are captured objects, objects whichs did not form alongside the planet. These are known as irregular moons, different from the regular moons which formed with the planet and thus orbit along its plane.
    1000
  16. I really hope you enjoy this supercut! Parts of 12 different episodes have gone into this one, plus a lot of extra content made specifically for this video. I know this is a very long video, so I'm curious to know how you get on with it, so I can gauge whether I should ever do something like this again in the future. Thanks for watching! Alex

  17. This is the second-best channel on all of YouTube!
    888
  18. This is a supercut of my Weird Light series, so you may have seen some of this content before, however it is now in sequence, with sponsors removed, and all the episodes tied together seemlessly. Enjoy!
    856
  19. Ah the chat is closed. Thanks for those of you that made it to the premiere! I don't know if I'll do it again, as Premieres seem to have irked a few people, but maybe I'll consider a livestream in the future as a Q&A after a video. All the best! Merry Christmas!

  20. Wow, 231 people have joined the Astrum Patreon community since I posted this video! I just wanted to give you a huge thank you for everyone here at the team. You make us less dependent on the algorithm and more on this community🙂 Join here: https://bit.ly/4anEb5u

  21. Really sorry if I didn't pronounce Mangalyaan correctly, I listened to a bunch of videos videos where people said it so I hope I got it right!
    794
  22. A note for subscribers: Chances are you may have seen the content in this video before. All I've done here is edit the Galilean moons from the "Our Solar System's Moons" series into one video. I removed parts of the intros and outros, removed some repetition (for instance, I don't go into full details about orbital resonances every time) and removed the sponsors for a more seamless viewing experience. This is for people that want to learn about all the Galilean moons in one go, rather than specific ones. Also, about the Io section, I didn't rerecord the narration even though the audio quality isn't super great and back then I didn't pronounce my 'g's, however, this is actually my favourite "old" video of mine and part of the charm in my opinion was the narration, so I kept it. Anyways, enjoy!
    715
  23. That is the sweetest thing 🥲 congrats and enjoy!
    689
  24. That's awesome to hear!!!
    661
  25. Good news! This is the reupload for the Titan video that was taken down about 3 months ago. I've gone through all the footage and switched out anything that might have a hint of copyright issues so hopefully this will stay up this time. I never did find out why it was taken down the first time. A lot of you have been asking for this to be reuploaded and the channel has grown a lot in three months so I'm sure some of you new subscribers won't have seen this before. Thanks!
    649
  26. So, while this is a remaster of a very old video, I've changed so much of it that it's basically a brand new video. Enjoy!
    604
  27. This is a supercut of 2 older videos of mine about ESA's Rosetta-Philae mission to 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. This is probably my favourite ever ESA mission, so to do it justice, I have made a lot of improvements to the older episodes. Improvements include: 4K (where available) and 60fps. New narration audio. New music where I felt it could be improved. A lot of new footage. Condensed two scripts into one. Added additional information where available. You will have to forgive me though, I forgot to add the CGI sticker. Really not ideal and I apologise. But I hope you still enjoy it, I really enjoyed revisiting this one.
    582
  28. This video has been a long time coming - a remaster of one of the very first videos on my channel from the "Our Solar System's Planets" series. Apart from the structure of the script though, not a lot has survived from the original, we have new narration audio, new images, new music, updated information, 4K, etc. So far we have remastered Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus, so which planet would you like to see remastered next?

  29. This is a reupload of last week's video! A lot of you rightfully pointed out that I interchangeably used "Soviet" and "Russian", so I have corrected that now. It was quite an egregious error so it was worth the reupload. Thanks!

  30. Hi Ben, I can only apologise. This has been the first time me and my team have tried something like publishing a book before and it definitely was a tough learning experience. The customer service side is disappointing, but I have made community posts with updates on the book and sent emails out. I will look into why my team isn't responding to your emails, as far as I was aware, they were answering all emails. Also, as far as I was aware, all books have been shipped so I'm disappointed you haven't received yours before Christmas, the supplier told us they should have all arrived before Christmas. I'm back from my holiday tomorrow, I will check out what's going on and kick people up the butt if I find out they have dropped the ball on this one. Sorry again. Alex. P.S. the posters are printed and supplied by Astrography, a separate company I have partnered with, they have a lot of experience with this and aren't the same team working on the book, so hopefully they will be able to provide a polished service, whereas the book was done in-house with people that haven't done this before, which is why we have had some teething problems unfortunately...

  31. Oh goodness me 😂 good spot, I suck. Yes, Proteus, not to be confused with Saturn's moon Prometheus. Thanks for pointing it out

  34. Saturn and its moons provided the music for this episode! As such, it may not feel quite as relaxing as some of my other videos, but hopefully it'll be just as interesting :)

  36. Some points to clarify: I made a mistake about the ion being negative when it loses an electron, it is actually positive. Sorry! Also, I say ISRO, not Israel. And lastly, don't be so racist guys. Some of the comments here are really pretty ignorant and shocking. This a channel that celebrates the achievements of space exploration, not knock people down.

  42. Clarification: pH can only be measured in water-based solutions and superacids are explosive/not soluble in water, so it doesn’t make sense to place them on a PH scale and instead we should use the Hammett Acidity Function (H0). That being said, we can and do typically derive negative pH from this function using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation which makes H0 equivalent to the pH values. This should have been explained further in the video. Correction: Zeti Reticuli only being visible from the Southern Hemisphere is part of the plot, suggesting those on the Northern Hemisphere must have received this information from aliens or advanced means. Thank you, to everyone in the comments who pointed this out. Want to adopt a star? Not a real one, just the one at the end of our videos - they’re lonely and could use a Patron’s name next to them 🙂[ https://bit.ly/4anEb5u ]

  43. Special thanks to Lara Reading for helping me with the science behind this video!
    395
  44. About my mention of the Atlas V rocket being the most powerful, the NASA film I watched described it as "America's biggest, baddest rocket, tricked out with every conceivable booster". I may have misinterpreted that. Apologies!
    393
  45. Hi subscribers! This is a reupload of a video I released earlier this year which I had been meaning to reupload for a while. As it happened, there was some new and exciting relevant information released just yesterday from NASA about WD 1856 b which I have now included in the video. The old version had a pretty major mistake in it, where I said a neutron star is 10-29 solar masses, which is actually the mass range of the stars neutron stars originate from, so that has also been corrected. I will soon unlist the old version. Enjoy if you have never seen this before!
    383
  46. Good rebuttal, to be fair!
    369
  47. Note: This is a remaster of the original Mercury video that I made about 6 years ago (crazy how time flies!). Here's the original for a comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3ZUhpisWeQ Here's the patch notes for the remaster: - 60fps instead of 30fps - Updated crappy CGI of Mercury's orbit with Space Engine footage - Updated information where applicable - Fixed grammar mistakes - Totally re-recorded the audio - New music - New visuals showcasing Mercury's magnetic field and its interaction with its exosphere and the solar wind - New views of Mercury's North Pole - New views of recent Mercury transits - Space Engine view of the rotation and orbit of Mercury - Closed captions now available (previous video only had auto-generated captions) - Pacing changes - Other minor changes
    345
  48. It's very possible! It could have happened hundreds of years ago, but the light from the event hasn't reached us yet
    339
  49. Just to confirm I am not an AI, and I wasn't an AI in the AI episode either (the script was AI, nothing else)
    330
  50. This is a reupload as the original video was blocked by PBS for a clip they did not own. The offending clip in question is the video from the perspective of Huygens as it passed through Titan's atmosphere. Even though I provided PBS evidence that the video belonged to NASA, even getting written confirmation from NASA that the clip is public domain and owned by them and not PBS, the claim was still upheld. Rather than risking legal action and a strike on my channel by appealing the decision, I have decided to modify the clip and reupload as I feel like it's a shame that this video has been blocked. I also feel like it's a shame that YouTube gives the "copyright holder" so much power and does not get involved in disputes. I can understand why it happens the way it does, but it's the creator that gets punished at the end of the day even if they are not in the wrong.

  52. Maybe we should capture an asteroid and put it in orbit of the moon just so a moon can have a moon...
    317
  53. And that style is not going anywhere
    317
  54. By the time it got to the Kuiper Belt, it was actually travelling slower than the Voyagers. Voyagers got big speed boosts from many gravity assists. New Horizons took a more direct route, and as a result, didn't get as many gravity assists, and its speed suffered as a result. So no, it will never overtake the Voyagers.
    306
  55. Earth is my favourite planet as it happens.

  58. Note: There are a lot of variables involved in this question. Does Earth orbit both suns, or only one? How close do they orbit? How close does Earth orbit? What type of star is the second sun? Etc. etc. etc. I tried to go into some details while also being somewhat general in order to take those variables into account. Hopefully that still makes it an enjoyable watch, but also don't consider that this video answers every possibility. Thanks for watching!

  59. Hi everyone, Alex here, welcome to the remaster of the video that made this channel possible! It was my first ever video to take off.

  62. Supercut of the LRO series! 5 episodes into one. I hope you enjoy some of the coolest sights and weirdest mysteries the Moon has to offer :)
    262
  63. Enjoy the timelapses? After making the first few, I had to keep making more! I found them breathtaking, it feels like you are there when you can appreicate depth and perspective from the movement of the sequence. Also I'm curious to know your thoughts about the CGI sticker in the corner during the CGI sequences? I wanted to create a easy way for the viewer to know if something is CGI or not, if the sticker is not there then you know you are looking at a real images. In the past I have just had a subtle "Illustration" text in the top corner but I guess too many viewers missed that. Thanks for all your support!
    259
  64. Thank you! Good idea. I'll add that.

I'm interested to hear if you like this format, and if you'd enjoy more videos like this exploring your questions. Find Pluto time where you are here: https://plutotime.app/ (the website on NASA I used originally when making the video has sadly closed down, but this seems to be a good alternative. I'm not affiliated with this website.)

  67. I was floored when I first saw this time lapse, as although you know in your head that these bushfires were big, you don't realise just how big until you see the length of the smoke trail spanning the width of the planet. I even hear that smoke particles made their way all the way to South America! Something else I learned since making this video is that if smoke particles push into the stratosphere, they will stay there a lot longer than if they had stayed in the troposphere. Very interesting yet scary when this is our planet!

  71. Surprise! I made an extra video this week in time for the InSight mission. This is one of my first attempts at a time-relevant video. Let me know what you think! EDIT: Sorry everyone, it's 1,500c, not 15,000c. That's my british brain not really processing the american way of saying fifteen hundred... we would say one thousand five hundred. I had a brain fart.

  77. PLEASE NOTE: As requested, this is a 2D static version of the previous VR180 video. I don't want to alienate people that don't enjoy the VR180 format, so if I ever make a VR180 video it will only be uploaded on this dedicated VR180 channel: https://bit.ly/354Yjaj and a normal 2D static version will be uploaded here. I hope that's a nice compromise for everyone!
    192
  78. Maybe I just take it from my perspective too much, but I really didn't know much about Rhea before researching this video, and I genuinely think it is forgotten by scientists in favour of other, more "exciting" moons. No offense meant, but I think for 99% of people it's true.

  89. Hi subscribers, this is a reupload for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it was originally meant to be 4K but Youtube didn't render it at 4K quality, so I'm hoping with an increased bitrate it will work this time. Secondly, there were a couple of (minor) mistakes with the original which have now been rectified. I want this channel to be as high quality as possible so if there are some things I have done wrong I will always try to mend them and not to make similar mistakes in future! The original is still on the channel but is just unlisted for the time being. I will eventually take it down altogether. Thanks for the understanding!
    164
  90. Thanks for watching! I hope you liked this video, it was one of the most tricky ones for me to make, so I hope it worked out. There's a lot of information to digest in it, so feel free to pause the video to read the captions for more insight. All the best, Alex

  103. Sorry again for probably for butchering some of the foreign language names, I tried my best! Astrum's service will resume as normal this coming Friday after a much needed break, but I really look forward to sharing with you guys some of the upcoming videos planned this year! I hope you all had a great Christmas/New Year/whatever else you may have celebrated :) Alex
    137
  104. Sorry this episode isn't in 4K for those of you that want that, but none of these images are high enough resolution to justify having it in 4K. Having said that, they were also too beautiful to pass up from this series! Enjoy!
    136
  105. Yeh that was jaw dropping when I first saw it! Really clear and gives great context
    136
  106. Want to adopt a star? Not a real one, just the one at the end of our videos - they’re lonely and could use a Patron’s name next to them 😊 - https://bit.ly/4anEb5u

    132
  108. Thanks for the heads up, this is the first time using this platform for us, so there are definitely going to be some teething problems, but glad you got that sorted!
    131
  109. I don't know why but the topic doesn't seem to get many views, so it seems a lot of other channels avoid it. Hoping this video will buck the trend! It's a really unique probe and deserves some attention
    130
  110. Classic Zeus

  111. As a thank you to folks on Patreon, we've made some Mars wallpapers for your computer and phone :) https://bit.ly/4anEb5u

  114. Hi everyone, Alex here, here's the previous episode if you missed it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWeW6kTcoRg I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who joined Patreon. Your membership is what allows me to keep Astrum what it is, and not what the algorithm looks for. https://bit.ly/4anEb5u

  115. That is an amazing video! Thanks for the effort you put into this Scott!
    124
  116. I would have liked to include more from JAXA itself, but that space agency is REALLY tight on copyright. Unlike NASA, everything they produce is copyrighted and fiercely protected.

  118. For those of you that wanted the link to the image I teased earlier, as I mentioned the resolution is quite low but here it is: https://cdn.spacetelescope.org/archives/images/large/opo9810b.jpg Quoted from the Hubble website: "Hubble captured a bright asteroid, with a visual magnitude of 18.7, roaming in the constellation Centaurus. Background stars are shown in white, while the asteroid trail is depicted in blue at top center. The trail has a length of 19 arc seconds. This asteroid has a diameter of one and one-quarter miles (2 kilometers), and was located 87 million miles from Earth and 156 million miles from the sun. Numerous orange and blue specks in this image and the following two images were created by cosmic rays, energetic subatomic particles that struck the camera's detector."
    120
  119. Wow thank you so much!! Long live Cassini
    120
  120. So next week I plan to do a 100K subs special video where I answer any question you might have. If you want a chance to have your question answered in the video, ask a question replying to this comment! It can be about space, me, the channel, whatever :) Hopefully we will get to know each other a bit better from it!
    119
  121. That's awesome! :)
    116
  122. Just to answer this, the image NASA didn't want to see, in case it wasn't clear, (spoiler) was the obscured image of the comet after the impact. They weren't intending to send Stardust there but they had to because they didn't get the science data they needed the first time around.
    116
  123. What did you think about my new endroll for Patreon members? I think it definitely looks better than the old static text. If you want to be on the spaceship or twinkle as a star (while supporting the channel!), join my Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/astrumspace Thanks Alex

  125. #savephobos2019 By the way, this is just a thought experiment, don't take it too seriously :)
    112
  126. Just so you guys know, with some of these objects we are bordering on the highly theoretical. Some of these explanations are scientist's best guess as to what we are observing. I have no doubt that with the future James Webb telescope studying some of these objects that even more will be revealed about them that we didn't even think about before. Just something to keep in mind.

  137. Light does make a difference yes, but Hubble could do as long of an exposure as it likes if that was the only obstacle. The real issue with dim light is that Pluto rotates, so too long of an exposure means a blurry image.

  144. In case this isn't clear from the video, this is not a politically driven video. It has no political agenda nor any political messages hidden in it. This is me simply viewing the world with increased temperature and more wildfires, and then asking myself why this could be. It's having a look at Earth as planet, in a way we would look at other planets, and explaining what is happening to us on a bigger scale.
    90
  145. I have some more moons I want to cover soon as well!
    88
  146. ​ @asherstribe5695 While it is a collection of previously released content, I have tried to add value and not just do a copy and paste job. For instance, changing the format, seamlessly transitioning between the various episodes, recording new narration audio, released in 4K, improving visuals and clips, and removing the sponsors. My supercuts are still a labour of love and not a quick cash-in!
    88
  147. This is a reupload as the original had a mistake in it that I had to rectify. If you were super fast last time, you may have seen most of this video before! If not, enjoy it this time :)
    88
  148. That honestly brings a tear to my eye. It's hard to imagine the influence my videos have on people. Wish your daughter the best of luck from me.

  151. ​ @AG-ig8uf considering scientists from CERN are testing and continue to test this very point, it clearly was not taken for granted that antimatter responds the same to gravity as matter.
    86
  152. We want to! I just have too many ideas and not enough resources. I'd love to continue redoing the "Our Solar System's" series, "Astrum Answers", more film analysis etc. If Patreon does take off for me, I will do all this IN ADDITION to what I'm already doing, so hopefully no-one will feel like the formula is changing. 🙂
    86
  153. Definitely will do
    85
  154. Thanks for the additional insight!!

  157. Don't you think the video delivers what the title says? This video is about Japan's mission to the moon, which the title covers I feel like
    80
  158. That is such a cool thought!!
    80
  159. If it makes you feel any better, I also sucked at physics, but the astronomy part was riveting. We'd get the teacher to go off on massive tangents about black holes and spacetime. He did a great job of being excited about the subject matter and getting us asking more questions. Those classes are definitely one of the reason this channel exists, and why I formulate the videos the way I do.

    64
  176. I'm very tempted to try this as a title...
    64
  177. First! With this series, we are going back to basics. As some of you may have seen in my 100K subs special, I'm going to experiment with a new format for this channel. Before, I was making a normal length video every fortnight. By making shorter videos, I hope to do a video every week! Alternate weeks, normal length video, short video, normal length... etc. Let me know what you think!

  182. About the colours of the images, it is RGB colours and does somewhat resemble the colours on Mars (the other option was false colour IRB images). However, HiRise doesn't take photos with just visible light, but rather with IR, RED, and BG channels which are displayed in red, green, and blue colours.

  190. YouTube has finally fixed the render for this video, so I've now made it public! Enjoy it in its flicker free glory 😁 Edit: people are still seeing some flickering. I've emailed YouTube again, hopefully they will sort it out... sorry if it's affecting you! Somehow it's fine on my PC and phone yet I can see it flickering on my wife's phone too. Very annoying. Second edit: fixed again!

  197. It's 2 videos AS NORMAL plus 2 shorter ones in between. I can't do 4 long videos a month, they take too long to make, this is a compromise :)
    50
  198. It's a Youtube render error. That's why the video is still unlisted, and reaching out to Youtube customer support has proven fruitless so far...

  223. That is high praise indeed! But David Attenborough is honestly irreplaceable
    40
  224. Once James Webb is up, it might be able to spot it. If it is emitting heat at all, it might be able to be picked up by James Webb in the infrared. Otherwise, yes it's difficult. That's why a lot of rogue planet discoveries haven't been confirmed yet.
    40
  225. I definitely will! I enjoy it a lot!
    39
  226. Yes you're right, I was meant to say 'in recent times'. Good spot!
    39
  227. ​ @Evinity The thing is, I'm a storytelling channel fundamentally. Just my stories are about space. As a result, I'm not going to spoil the ending to the story in the title. It's not "Harry Potter and Dumbledore dies" after all. Maybe people think I'm a news channel and my titles are headlines, but I really don't see myself as that. This mission happened months ago, it's been in the news for ages, if people want that kind of reporting they need to follow news platforms.
    38
  228. Just in my defense, I do like seeing nature at its extremes. However, from a safe distance for everyone involved. Maybe that's why I like space...
    37
  229. Check out this website! You can apply all sorts of filters to the surface of the Moon, including a temperature map https://quickmap.lroc.asu.edu/

  231. Good idea! I'll add it to the list
    36
  232. To me, that's what makes this system so exciting 😁

  240. +K Stash Yes sound waves can't travel in space, but radio waves can. This is just radio waves converted to sound!
    33
  241. Beautiful sentiment!
    33
  242. It's a supercut! This weird light series was written with the intention to put the individual episodes into one long episode afterwards, and this is the end result.
    33
  243. I am stressing it's true 😅 theoretical stuff is a lot harder to make videos about!
    33
  244. Someone did a time lapse on YouTube of every photo taken by Cassini, and it's hours and hours long. A lot of it is very jumpy, but there are some awesome sequences like some of these of Rhea

    31
  249. There was a lot of people who have asked this question in the comments of my videos, too many to specifically thank here, but thank you all! If you have a space related question that you want to see a video on, ask away, and yours might be picked next!
    31
  250. Yes there's a couple of other methods, including radial velocity method, and direct imaging. I believe this one was discovered using direct imaging.

  252. It's a great analogy, but just about your second to last paragraph, I thought that this is considered an oversimplified explanation, because actually it's also about time and not just about space, and it's about parts of the quantum field not able to fully vibrate or vibrate in sync which separates the particles. I'm doing more research at the moment for the next part in the series so I'm trying to wrap my head around this concept.

  253. Always nice to see an OG subscriber still around 😁

  254. Also, just to give some context, this video still has a 96% like/dislike ratio. So while I know it has irked some of you (which I apologise for, I would love an ideal world where I can just state plainly what's in a video), most people clicked the video and liked it. I will also ask this question: is it better to get quality content into the algorithm, or allow the "cashcow/AI blatantly false misinformation videos" to dominate the layperson's feed while the actual science videos get pushed into obscurity because they aren't allowed to potentially upset the 4%? I'll be honest, you would not have even seen this video in your feed were it not for this video getting into the algorithm. So who knows if you would have decided to reward a plain-titled video with your click because you never would have seen it in the first place.

  259. It's probably way off the mark but I can't help imagine but think of the underwater ocean scene in Star Wars... There's always a bigger fish.

    27
  261. Sadly it was going way to fast and no heat shield... it burned up long before it could get close to the cloud tops.
    27
  262. I love that!
    27
  263. It seemed fitting! And I think it worked quite well!
    27
  264.  @flamingalphamonkey  1. This is an experiment, I'll see what the majority think. If no-one likes it, then I won't do it again! 2. I'm not expecting you to wait around 36 hours until it starts, that's madness! I'm just giving people prior notice that this is when it will begin. 3. You aren't really having to wait around any longer than normal because I upload on Fridays anyway. 4. I thought this might be a fun way to interact with my subs while watching the video together.
    26
  265. Also, let me know if you want us to bring other researchers on the channel! This is a little experiment to see how something like this goes :)
    26
  266. That's a really cool way of thinking of it. Thanks!
    25
  267.  @5Andysalive  sadly the difference in views really is shocking...
    25
  268. If you don't see me for a few weeks after release, you'll know why
    25
  269. Yes, people requested I make a non-VR version :)
    24
  270. It hadn't been active for a few years when that video was taken, and these were a couple of passing by explorers, so they probably just thought they'd risk it. Interestingly, the scientists weren't ever brave enough to land from what I've read.
    24
  271. It actually does! It's called Luna.
    23
  272. I read all the comments, it's disheartening. But I think it is just a vocal minority thankfully!
    23
  273. Great question. Venus does have a magnetic field, it's just very weak, and is known as an induced magnetosphere. (http://www.astrobio.net/topic/solar-system/venus/a-magnetic-surprise-from-venus/) This is enough to deflect some of the solar wind at the very least, but doesn't stop the Sun interacting with atoms in the upper atmosphere. These ions also need to exceed escape velocity to leave the gravity of Venus.All the heaviest gases sit at the surface while light gases near the upper atmosphere are getting stripped away, which explains the high amounts of carbon dioxide and not much else. But if you look at a planet like Mars, where the magnetic field is virtually non-existant (and interestingly Mars' atmosphere is also mainly CO2), it still has an atmopshere. This is because the process of solar winds stripping it away is a very slow process, even for a closer planet like Venus. The difference between Mars and Venus is the level of geological activity on Venus is very high, and Mars is pretty much dormant. Venus is pumping more into the atmosphere than it's losing from interactions from the Sun. Mars on the other hand may have had a much richer atmosphere, but over hundreds of millions of years it's atmopshere is getting more and more depleted. Hope this makes things a little clearer!
    23
  274. I don't actively share it with them but I imagine they see it. I know I have a few JPL and NASA scientists subscribed ^^
    23
  275. It was a really difficult episode to produce... so I kept putting it off 😅
    23
  276. Haha! Well it's not the planet that's the subject of examination in this case, its the barycentre, which I thik you can see quite well in that video! ;)
    23
  277.  @human_isomer  Not ever, but probably the final images we will ever see
    23
  278. I'm firing my writing staff immediately
    23
  279. Do you think it could one day happen though?
    23
  280. I know about the content of the links you've posted, but don't believe I said anything incorrectly in the video? I say there has been debate about the earth being flat, which there has in ancient civilizations and even today. Everything else I mention about history is the geocentric model.
    22
  281. Maybe at 1 mil ;)

  286. It seemed to be fairly accurate, although it is hard to be super sure because it turns out Pluto probably changes appearance very rapidly. The difference between the various years Hubble observed Pluto is astounding quite frankly.
    22
  287. Flaming Monocle It was a pleasure! Fantastic narration skills!
    21
  288. I am very happy to hear that! Thank you so much :) More on the way!

  289. I knew the internet wouldn't miss that.
    21
  290. Wow! Thank you so much
    20
  291. I wish we'd thought of this... (Georgina, Channel Manager)
    20
  292. Yes, but it would take ~20mins to load a webpage 😅 it would be better if Mars had it's own internet and just downloaded chunks of useful websites from ours from time to time
    20
  293. You are right and actually the only reason why we can't see it anymore is because the light photons become so spread out that it just fades into oblivion
    20
  294. You're right, they have been processed and enhanced to see detail. You can view the raw photos here https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam/processing?source=junocam&ob_from=&ob_to=&perpage=100

  295. Only in an expanding universe. For the universe to be expanding, we think there would also need to be dark energy. It's really a hypothetical example anyway :)
    19
  296. New Horizons got a good view of Arrokoth, and seeing as both probes use basically the same camera, I'm hoping for good things from these flybys!
    19
  297. Interesting thought! I never considered that!
    19
  298. Spot will definitely have to be specialised for the task, this is more a proof of concept. There are definitely still some obstacles to overcome with the design.

  300. That is really amazing to hear. It's hard to know the individual stories of the people who watch when all I often see are numbers on a screen. So thanks so much for sharing, it's amazing to know the influence my work has had on people.
    18
  301.  @JonnyMack33  It could be... the problem with the finch is that even if there are stars in the vicinity of a black hole, then the odds are astronomical that they will cross paths so far outside the galaxy. Stars are just that spaced out outside of a galaxy. Let's see in the coming years if there's a star cluster there.
    18
  302.  @rhydderc127  I don't know why people are saying I'm lying. NASA truly wanted to see the impact crater, and couldn't with Deep Impact's collision obscuring the view. While the collision was surely interesting, it was not the image NASA wanted to receive. Were it not for Stardust, Deep Impact may have been considered a mission fail - hence why "this is bad". Lying would be "this comet is going to hit earth OMG"
    18
  303. I mean that rocket got real close to orbit, just didn't quite make it ;)
    18
  304. I'm definitely glad to have not been killed
    18
  305. This is one of the times I write something correctly in the script and then fail to read it correctly as I record the audio. Sorry! Good catch!
    17
  306. ​ @fryfry377 thank you, I appreciate it
    17
  307. Could be interesting! Thanks!
    17
  308. Nope it's all dormant!
    17
  309. Hahaha 😂 But, seriously, thank you
    17
  310. It's a plot device 😂
    17
  311. If you could do something silly on the moon, what would it be?
    17
  312. Yes I muddled the two, you're the first one to spot that xD although it's orbit is perpendicular to the planet's orbital plane so it's not exactly wrong either! I know I'm clutching at straws here haha
    16
  313. Does your sock emit its own heat?
    16
  314. I was lost haha
    16
  315. I know, I can't believe it. It was one of the first missions I covered on my channel, hard to think I've been doing this for over 6 years now
    16
  316. Thankfully we are still a few billion years away from that, so hopefully we can enjoy Triton a while longer :)
    16
  317. Hey, good to see you around these parts again! Yes quite a bit has changed since that interview 😅 Hope you are well. Cheers!
    16
  318. yashirobai Thanks so much for the constructive feedback. I have to agree with a lot of what people say about the music and sound quality generally but this was the first video I made of this series and I think I'm getting the hang of it now. I've just about finished a video about Jupiter and I think the sound quality and flow is a lot better.
    15
  319. ​ @asoul3919  have you not heard about the experiment of the monkey babies not getting any nurture during development? They had all their physical needs met by a robot. Simply put, they died. I would wager that the time spent in a mother's belly is crucial for psychological development, as a bonding process happens there. I just don't think that is replaceable.
    15
  320. Because it hasn't been released yet! You are very early 😅
    15
  321. Something I've really been enjoying floating on my desk: A Moon Lamp! https://www.encalife.com/pages/_go_/floating-moon-lamp?ref=5403:574869
    15
  322. The wind rotates in the atmosphere, but deeper down in the planet, it'll be tidally locked
    15
  323. Jupiter is not just gas, it likely does have a core and a mantle. We just call it a gas planet because it has no visible surface! :)
    14
  324. +Google User spoiler alert!
    14
  325. +L Galicki Correct!
    14
  326. +AncientttimeZ I totally should have.
    14
  327. Because in golf, everything is measured in yards. So I just went with it. Normally I use metric for my videos.
    14
  328. You can count on it!
    14
  329.  @Vivaswaan.  That's why it's only visible for about an hour after sunset.
    14
  330. Europa will be getting some missions this decade! Also, it does make sense. Earth has a rocky mantle. Smaller, icy worlds likely have a mantle too, just it's a mantle of water.
    14
  331. This video took a lot longer to make than I had originally planned 😅
    14
  332. Dennis Hartnett Thank you so much!
    13
  333. You're 100% right!

  338. I'm allowed to like a film! haha
    13
  339. I do like you now! :P
    12
  340. I know, that's why I tried to avoid this being a flat-earthers bash but instead be a 'find this out for yourself if there was no space agencies' kind of thing.
    12
  341. I'm sorry it has come to this xD
    12
  342. Pixel Unit That sounds like a good idea for another video!
    12
  343. Very true! But yes I will wait to see the data it sends back once the mission is complete. It's not such a long mission so shouldn't have to wait too long :)
    12
  344. It's on my list!! :)
    12
  345. This video could only be 5 mins long, so I had to be selective!
    12
  346. Hoho! 😝
    12
  347. That's what I tried to encapsulate at the beginning of the video. It really isn't boring. There's a giant, beautiful object in our sky, so close to us that we can make out surface details with the naked eye! When you consider that, I truly think it's amazing.
    12
  348. Yes, it may seem paradoxical, but both entropy and emergence exist in unison. Maybe I'll do a video about it!
    12
  349. I would love to, but videos take a lot of time and effort to make. I'm looking at maybe expanding with writers and video editors but we'll see. I have high standards haha.
    12
  350. Zooniverse is surprisingly addictive... I spent a lot of time on the TESS data too when it was up! And looked for zebra on a wildlife cam 😂
    12
  351. Ahhh I just misread Pioneer 11 as Pioneer II, doh 🫣
    12
  352. I'm pretty sure that fell off the lander!!
    11
  353. Alexandru Radu Thank you!!
    11
  354. +Ｍ. ＭＡＨＡＪＡＮ That's a good idea for a video! I will see if I can do something like that soon!
    11
  355. These are my thoughts too. The only thing I would add to that is that life has also survived many mass extinction events, probably because those events were quite mild compared to what they could have been. Even if life started on other planets in the universe, they might not have been so lucky in regards to extinction events, meaning it didn't have such a chance to develop to the equivalent to where we are now. Who knows! But that's the mystery and intrigue of space!
    11
  356. I will likely do a deeper dive at some point, I find it all so fascinating
    11
  357. Thank you for the correction! I did think that seemed low but I didn't go back and double-check 😫
    11
  358.  @theRayzz  Sorry! Didn't notice YT hadn't processed it yet. All fixed now.
    11
  359. Thank you so much!
    11
  360. Those channels make me so depressed. They will blatantly disseminate lies and I see people in the comments saying 'wow thanks I didn't know that". Shocking really
    11
  361. Man, I love that description of what a photon's perspective of the universe is like. Might have to sneak that into a future video :)
    11
  362. That is the tallest volcano :)
    11
  363. Fair enough! I just couldn't fit all this mission into one part, on the other hand I don't have the time to make an hour long documentary every 2 weeks, so these parts are a compromise :)
    11
  364. Ahhh oops :/
    11
  365. The Greece story really hit me. The people there really weren't ready for such an event. People jumping off cliffs into the sea to escape the fire is simply tragic.
    11
  366. Wow thank you so much!
    11
  367. This made me laugh 😁
    11
  368. And I'm thankful for you!
    11

  378. Yeh that measurement snuck in, I forgot to convert.
    10
  379. Hello old timer! I was actually thinking about going back to the Mars series. Maybe I'll have a look at that this month.
    10
  380. That's why I said its visible sky... But yes you are right. Although I think it's only really far north that it won't ever be able to see.
    10
  381. Genius!
    10
  382. It actually happens very frequently https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_films

  383. Oops! Yes definitely meant to say that
    10
  384. Thank you for the suggestion! I will definitely consider it. And thanks for pushing me to get this video finished haha xD
    9
  385. Revanchist8525 Thank you so much! And sadly at the moment the only funding we're getting is from youtube (which isn't much!) I'm hoping that once the channel grows a bit more we will get noticed!
    9
  386. So what conclusion did you come to before going into the video? :)

  388. I was once a student with a teacher that did the same thing for me! Keep encouraging them :)

  389. Honestly, I wouldn't go. I think it's a suicide mission. There's a reason NASA are taking their time! even only half the robotic missions to Mars actually make it. Those are terrible odds haha
    9
  390. It is also a quasi-satellite, the closest it gets is 12 million km!
    9
  391. It hasn't been confirmed yet as far as I'm aware!
    9
  392.  @thatgnaralooguy  if you google Space Engine, there will be a download link on the official website. It can also be bought on Steam
    9
  393. A strong name 💪

  399. Oket Oket In deep space, even grains of sand will gravitate towards each other if they are close enough!
    8
  400. Yeh I probably will. This video has got me about 100 new subscribers because of the media buzz around it, so definitely worthwhile!
    8
  401. Haha now you mention it, it does!!
    8
  402. +FrankTheReaper It's in between Bern, Thun and Fribourg :)
    8
  403. Most of the pictures and videos shown here are real!
    8
  404. I do love that song
    8
  405. Thank you! Mars does have a lot of craters, but its atmosphere still prevents a lot of the smaller impacts. And the small impacts are the most common! Our Moon has no atmosphere. Hope that explains it! :)
    8
  406. My bad guys, sorry for that. The script was correct, I just misread it
    8
  407. Some animations I produce myself using Space Engine and Universe Sandbox. For everything else, ESO, ESA and NASA produce their own animations for media to use. If you have a PC I really recommend checking the software I mentioned out. Space Engine is free too!
    8
  408. That was such a cool video Scott. Probably the best thing I've seen of space in a while!
    8
  409. That's why I put it there even if sponsors try and press for it at the beginning, I know I find it so annoying when I see one in the middle of a video
    8
  410. Analogue pictures can be very high quality! Depends on the film. Digital cameras took a while to catch up to analogue really
    8
  411. I talk about that in greater detail in the previous episodes :)
    8
  412. There is a "trim flap" designed into the bottom of the craft to balance pressure from the Sun https://jwst.nasa.gov/observatory.html
    8
  413. Re Saturn moons, there's a difference between regular and irregular moons. Retrograde moons are irregular, likely captured objects, not forming alongside the planet.
    8
  414. Honestly, I am especially proud of this video. It turned out really nicely :) Also love ESO and ESA, although ESA's media department is lacking! Thanks for the comment!
    8
  415. It's not a loop, it's just not totally continuous
    8
  416. Thank you for sharing your story! It's shocking how quickly the rain caused such extreme devastation
    8
  417. I may have not explained my thinking so well in the video, I'm probably jumping the gun here. I think research is being done to "dope" lithium-ion batteries with rare-earths to achieve an improved electrochemical performance, but you are right, it isn't currently the norm. But I believe that if the performance gains are enough, and companies start using rare earths in batteries, then that will increase demand. And yes, you are right, rare earths are being used in other parts of the EV too.
    8
  418. I would love to, but China does not release much content about its missions. It's something I want to investigate further, though.
    8
  419. This was just as much a technology demonstration mission as it was a mission to study these asteroids. So yes, it's very likely we'll see it used again
    8
  420. I just remove them from being able to post more comments in the hope that there won't be any left eventually ^^
    8
  421. What was/is your favourite space mission?
    8
  422. Oort Cloud planetesimals are large icy objects the size of mountains, much larger than solar wind particles! But the solar wind, Heliosheath and Heliopause are super interesting too, and definitely real! This Astrum video on the Voyager missions explains what happened when the Voyagers travelled through the Heliosheath - https://youtu.be/UyzBoUvN3PM?feature=shared
    8
  423. +lewis powell I will do all the planets, so yes Neptune will definitely be one of them! :)
    7
  424. The temperature would discount life as we know it, but who can say for sure without extensive experiments?
    7
  425. jbZahl Asteroids with moons are still pretty impressive though. I didn't know they existed until making this video!
    7
  426. James Jones I have sent a couple of videos there way in the past, but no answer. I think they'd notice me a bit more once the channel gets bigger! And I'm glad you like the principle of keeping it to real images as much as possible. I noticed there is a complete lack of that on youtube but it's something I really appreciate seeing!
    7
  427. +1100HondaCB True! That's a much better way to explain it. Thanks!
    7

    7
  429. Noor Muhammad Khan Hey thanks very much!
    7
  430. Thank you for sharing your experiences! It’s inspiring to see families like yours who appreciate the beauty of the night sky. Let's hope we can save the starry skies for future generations to see.
    7
  431. Yes I did. Oh dear...
    7
  432.  @oldnelson4298  YT is being especially slow to render this one in 4K. Check back again in a day or two, and hopefully it will be resolved. I'm going to check with their customer service to see what the hold up is...
    7
  433. @Richard Conway yes, I realise it is unproven, and I will emphasize that in the video. I did find it interesting though that hawking radiation was detected in an artificial "sonic" black hole - which I will also mention. It just shows the math is right, but whether sonic and normal black holes are analogous is the next debate. However I will check out what you just mentioned! Thanks
    7
  434. Should the Sun's mass have been split up much more evenly, then there could have been several small stars. But in reality that couldn't happen
    7
  435. 100% agreed
    7
  436. I love your efforts, thank you so much

  437. I hear you! Haha Pluto is definitely high on the list, don't worry ;)
    7
  438. Asperatus undulatus was the old name before the classification was made :)
    7
  439. Unfortunately, the difference in views is staggering. The channel was in a really bad place views wise before Christmas, but since I changed the style of titles and thumbnails, I've had the best months ever. I don't really want to do it, but since there has been an increase in space channels that do do it that have been getting a huge amount of views, I have to as well or I'll be left behind. If people would click on videos with informative titles and thumbnails, you can be sure I'd be doing exactly that.
    7
  440. I've actually done a video about Earth too https://youtu.be/oGYv3sCuxVQ
    7
  441. Thank you! Sadly on YT content only counts towards retention, but titles and thumbnails are the things that get people to click in the first place. Sometimes I don't get them right at first so I'll change it.
    7
  442.  @vdiitd  Generally speaking I do too, that's why I have been reluctant to do them in the past. But hopefully, if everything goes well, most of the information in this video will still be relevant for a while yet! I tried to find a bit of a balance.
    7
  443.  @Hoopty91  I suppose you are right 😅
    7
  444. While NASA's missions are more expensive than ISRO's, NASA also has a lot more missions on the go compared to ISRO, so that accounts for a lot of the differences in budget. That doesn't mean NASA is completely off the hook though, there's certainly room for improvement.
    7
  445. It's a sneaky KSP nod
    7
  446. But our climate would also be much more unstable
    7
  447. Remember that gas giants and galaxies emit bright light that we can observe! This "cloud" is an extremely sparse scattering of tiny objects, very far away from us, and so far apart from each other that they're too low in density to look like a cloud. They also emit no light, and the outer solar system receives minimal sunlight to reflect. Even our best telescopes are not that advanced!
    7
  448. Light years ago... so years then?
    7
  449. We assume so!
    7
  450. We are working on adjusting the podcast to make them longer!
    7
  451. Liam I do actually call it a dwarf planet in the video. According to the IAU, it needs to be able to clear its orbit of debris to be a planet - which it hasn't. The problem is, it's very small. A few of the biggest moons in the Solar System dwarf Pluto. But this classification is constantly being debated so we'll see what happens :)
    7
  452. Go out in midday and take a pic of the stars. If you can't, why not?
    7
  453. Hey thanks for watching! The music is Tremsz - Gunnar Olsen and can be found in the youtube library! :)
    6
  454. Basel, Switzerland
    6
  455. Chris Toussaint The next upcoming video will be on Jupiter!
    6
  456. It's the biggest asteroid! But also, it's a dwarf planet :)
    6
  457. The heat dissipates a lot before it reaches the rings. In fact Saturn's 'surface' is extremely cold, it's much hotter the closer to the centre you get.
    6
  458. Sorry if I didn't pronounce it right xD
    6
  459. Yes in hindsight a steadycam would've been better, but I this was my very first video and I've learned a lot since then :)
    6
  460. Thank you so much! And thanks for the picture of yours I was able to use!
    6
  461. The Earth would be a few nanometers. Humans, well... very small indeed!
    6
  462. The amount of energy needed to operate the laser array for the laser sail spacecraft might be too prohibitive for it to actually happen, even though it should be theoretically possible, or so I hear... so even that might be out of reach! :(
    6
  463. Maybe I will put it back in! 😁
    6
  464. I think Vesta is right on the border. At least, it would be a lot more round than it is today if it weren't for those impacts at the south pole
    6
  465. The rocket itself was great. The cancellation of it was the problem.
    6
  466. I mean, sure probably, but you have to draw a line somewhere or it will never launch! Although I don't know why there would be technological advances for most of the instruments, as you mentioned a lot had to be made specifically for JWST. I don't know of any other projects off the top of my head that would use similar instruments in the immediate future.
    6
  467. China's craft has an interesting remedy to this problem, it can rapidly vibrate to shake the dust off. If it works well, I can see it being utilised more in the future!
    6
  468. There is definitely going to be some kind of charging station, but this is still really early days. We are pretty much in concept territory.
    6
  469. Luckily I don't live there anymore 😅
    6
  470. Star Systems can also mean multiple stars that orbit each other. I wanted to avoid the confusion there
    6
  471. I really love The Expanse, but the station on Ceres irks me. For some reason there's not enough water there? Ceres is 50% water!
    6
  472. The direction of Earth's tilt stays the same throughout the year in relation to the galaxy, but changes in the relation to the Sun as it orbits. It's hard to explain in words, so have a look at this animation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9n04SEzuvXo Notice how the Earth's direction compared to the stars doesn't change, but compared to the Sun it does. This is why the North Star always points north all year long.
    6
  473. It was one of my favourite missions for sure. Thank you!
    6
  474. Here's an interesting experiment: if you have a desk lamp, position it at different points around your monitor and see if the craters look like pits or bumps. Depending on where the light source is located, our brain uses its position to try and interpret whether the craters are concave or not (even though the light source has nothing to do with the image).
    6
  475. The consequence of living in a variety of countries over my lifetime... :) Influences include Welsh, English, South African, US, German, and Swiss
    6
  476. New Horizons has already sent all the Pluto data back. I think it took about 2 years. Since then it visited Ultima Thule, and has since sent back all the data for that too. It might get one more encounter before it runs out of fuel. About movement, Earth's movement doesn't really make a difference becuase Hubble tracks the objects. So galaxies are easy targets. Pluto rotates, that is another issue there. Too long of an exposure and it's already rotated a bit.
    6
  477.  @matthewjones698  Most of these stars aren't visible with the naked eye sadly. I'm thinking of doing one about visible stars soon though!
    6
  478. Not with HiRise sadly. Look at the rover images though, those are pretty much normal cameras!
    6
  479. I got a first for it! In the UK grading system, a first is the highest grade you can get. I've now finished university and got a first class honours. That's why I have been releasing a lot more videos recently, I'm now doing this fulltime!
    6
  480.  @ramrod0209  I superimposed images to give you a sense of scale
    6
  481. Of course it is Flat Earthers. You're welcome! :)
    6
  482. What kind of visuals are we talking? :)
    6
  483. If you were to stand on one, the closest neighbours would be smaller than the moon in our sky, but still easily big enough to see crescents!
    6
  484. The next one was actually going to be called the Overwhelmingly Large Telescope (OWL)
    6
  485. With your natural eyes? Most nebula would appear as a faint glow. The only reason they are so bright in photos is because of the long exposure time. However nebula like the Tarantula Nebula... That would be really bright!
    6
  486. Couldn't agree with you more
    6
  487. Video was doing appallingly bad. Sadly it's still not doing well, but it's slightly better now at least.
    6
  488. For solar system scales, the expansion of the universe doesn't do much. It's actually simply because most asteroids that existed have already hit planets, so there aren't many left anymore compared to during the early solar system.
    6
  489. First we need to have a better idea of how many there are out there! But this question also crossed my mind while making this video
    6
  490. We will have a much better understanding of this within the next decade hopefully. Rogue planets certainly make up some of the mass of a galaxy, however planets really are minuscule compared to the mass of stars, so it certainly won't account for all of dark matter.
    6
  491. I hadn't seen you in the comments for a while! Good to see you again.
    6
  492.  @MemeAnt  It wasn't really very popular... I'd like to, but it seems people might be a bit burned out on Mars rovers on my channel...
    6
  493. Space X don't do missions per se, they launch things.
    6
  494. Yes, lots of "irregular" moons of the gas and ice giants
    6
  495. They compare the point to the average radius of the moon. And thank you!
    6
  496. #theboomisback 😁

  499. AnimaMusic Thanks for allowing me to use it!
    5
  500. It's in production! :)
    5
  501. It was!
    5
  502. Amine Boyz Definitely!!!
    5
  503. A good point. They are a few million years old from our perspective, but yes their actual age will be whatever we see plus the number of years it took for the light to reach us. This means there are likely stars in our sky that don't actually exist anymore, but because of the time it took for the light to reach us we are seeing what it would look like millions of years in the past.

  506. It's going to be my next video actually! :) And thank you!!!
    5
  507. If you do the maths, you'll see that this video is surprisingly correct! https://youtu.be/mLHYK9-uX7Q?t=12m29s

  508. 'Gunnar Olsen - Never Sleep' sorry I did forget in the end! ^^
    5
  509. Is 4K alright? xD
    5
  510. Krappadizzle Hey thanks for your feedback! I actually plan to do a video on all our Solar System's planets, I've already done one for Mercury and I'm in the process of doing one for Saturn, which I'm actually hoping to have uploaded by tomorrow. These videos out of all of the videos I've made take the longest time though sadly, there's a lot of research, editing and such! Thanks for watching though I really appreciate it.
    5
  511. +Coco Pops HD I probably believe in other universes other than our own. It's hard to think space and time is confined to a certain area. Hundreds of years ago, we didn't know anything existed beyond our galaxy. Having said that though, I don't think it will ever be proved either way, certainly not in our lifetime.
    5
  512. +ObscureNemesis It's the tallest volcano, and the tallest mountain if you only consider planets!
    5
  513. Out of all my series, these videos are definitely the hardest to make. If I had to do these every fortnight, I'd be dead! But thanks for the positive comments!
    5
  514. Honestly, even if they did show every detail you wanted, wouldn't you just say it was fake?
    5
  515. Could also be that there are more people in cities to see them
    5
  516. There's not much else on Mars 😅 also the mission needed to find bedrock to investigate, no better place than craters because the digging has already been done.
    5
  517. It's a science mission, looking at objects beyond visible light reveals properties about rocks etc.
    5
  518. Actually it may, if engineers aren't going to work

    5
  521. Show me what you end up with! 😊
    5
  522. Depends on the orbital period of the extra exoplanets. Say CHEOPS spends a total of 1 week looking at a specific star, and an undiscovered exoplanet has an orbital period of two days, then yes it would likely discover it. Otherwise, probably not.
    5
  523. It's a Youtube render error. That's why the video is still unlisted, and reaching out to Youtube customer support has proven fruitless so far...
    5
  524. This camera wasn't being operated, it was left behind. They did this right at the end of the mission, without mission control knowing about it beforehand. Also, I don't think anyone expected how many moon landing deniers there would be a few decades on, with every single action scrutinised. Basically my opinion is, if you want to find evidence for something, you'll find it.
    5
  525. Planets can orbit both, although I believe it is a lot less common
    5
  526. Radiation would barely penetrate the ice crust :) Hydrogen (in water/ice) is great at blocking radiation
    5
  527. Tell me if you find the fountain of youth :)
    5
  528. Very true!
    5
  529. I used to do that... the Io video was made a few years ago. In the more recently made sections of Europa, Ganymede and Callisto you'll notice that I pronounce the 'g's.
    5
  530. Not something I considered! Interesting point!
    5
  531. It is spinning on its axis, but it is also orbiting the barycentre of the solar system. It is also orbiting within the galaxy. Just depends on your point of reference.
    5
  532. I hope you enjoyed this update on the InSight mission! I also hope to do an update on the Juno mission around Jupiter in the not too distant future, so be sure to look out for that! Thanks also to NordVPN for sponsoring today's video. In you are interested in their deal, use the link https://nordvpn.org/astrum with the code astrum to get 75% off 3-year plan + 1 month free.
    5
  533. That could be true! Good point.
    5
  534. 2021 still!
    5
  535. I definitely will do, I'll probably finish this series first though
    5
  536. ISRO = Indian Space Agency :)
    5
  537. @JD babez exactly :)
    5
  538. I had to dig deep for a lot of these, this was a hard video to make for that reason!
    5
  539. Here's a quote from the video for you: "From these accumulated samples, scientists were able to make an unexpected discovery. These were not sedimentary rocks, as had first been anticipated. Instead, Perseverance had discovered the igneous rock, Olivine. Olivine is a type of rock that can actually be found here on Earth, for instance in parts of Australia. Unlike sedimentary rocks, which are made by particles of sand and other detritus slowly accumulating on top of each other over time, an igneous rock like Olivine is formed by the cooling of magma. As such, it seems that at one time or another Jezero crater must have been witness to some volcanic activity. While this might initially seem to be bad news - you might rightly conclude that not much life could be found in magma - scientists could discern signs of water erosion on the rocks. The ridges at the ends of the crater showed signs of water motion. Whatever volcanic activity had happened here, the water that created Jezero’s delta must have come after it had already cooled. As such, the presence of igneous rock was actually good news. Igneous rock is usually very high in minerals – this is why the areas around volcanoes are so fertile. The presence of water and high mineral count rocks would have been perfect conditions for life."
    5
  540. Micro black holes have never actually been observed, and are very short-lived even if they do exist, but they are theoretically possible.
    5
  541. It's quite limited, NASA only has a certain amount so only uses it when absolutely necessary
    5
  542. Hear, hear!
    5
  543. I don't believe that man's ever been to medical school.
    5
  544. I can't believe it! 10 seasons worth of my videos uploaded under someone elses name. Haha! I've sent a copyright infringement form to Amazon, hopefully it will be resolved soon. Thanks so much for helping out there, it is much appreciated. All the best to you
    5
  545.  @dnomyarnostaw  That is the issue. There might still be enough though, I'll see if it's feasible or not.
    5
  546. It's coming. I wanted a nice selection of images to talk about before I made the video. You're very kind to have waited this long though, I wasn't expecting people to do that.
    5
  547. Neutron star? Probably. It might have already! Light from the event would take 700 years to reach us.
    5
  548. Size of Europe
    5
  549. Pressure. Important to remember it's not a combustion reaction, its a nuclear fusion reaction.
    5
  550. About my mention of the Atlas V rocket being the most powerful, the NASA film I watched described it as "America's biggest, baddest rocket, tricked out with every conceivable booster". I may have misinterpreted that. Apologies!
    5
  551. Sorry guys... My bad
    5
  552. The old thumbnail is the Bubble Nebula https://www.spacetelescope.org/images/heic1608a/ and yes, the new one is the Crab Nebula
    5
  553. It's a good point. The answer is that we don't really know, and we'll have to wait and see!
    5
  554. Perhaps it's too close to the Sun. Its Hill Sphere is very small at that distance.
    5
  555. There was a lot more that I could have talked about, I'll just have to save them for future episodes :)
    5
  556. It's actually interesting how hard it is to see man-made objects from this altitude. It makes the Earth seem almost pristine!
    5
  557. The very exotic Leeds Bradford Airport!
    4
  558. Good question! It would need to be heavily fortified against radiation, but one pass should be alright if this was the case. Generally though Jupiter is just really inhospitable to humans...
    4
  559. Sure! You're welcome to. Just please credit in the video itself rather than just the description. Thanks :)
    4
  560. Which did prove difficult, as the end images were like 8,000x64,000 pixels and no video editor would touch them... I had to resize them to 4,000 across, cut them in half, and only then would Premiere Pro accept the images lol
    4
  561. Sadly it doesn't make any difference, the poles are also 400c!
    4
  562. Chad k I will do a video explaining the Sun, I also like the thought that space can be seen as art! But thanks for the feedback, it's duly noted!
    4
  563. +fatihkaran The space agencies websites are very informative! NASA and ESA especially. Also, check out wikipedia. The info there is very interesting :)
    4
  564. This video was made for a university assignment, and that was the title I was given. Not too relevant I know haha xD
    4
  565. You are looking at the countyside around Bern, and yes it's Switzerland :)
    4
  566. +69 Solo I'm really sorry! I'm hoping to have a more regular upload schedule these next few months :)
    4
  567. Daniel Sarmiento It will probably be the last video of this series!
    4
  568. Maybe there is! We just haven't discovered it yet :)
    4
  569. Josue Contreras Thanks so much!
    4
  570. ShaunMakesVideos I would be walking a long time if I did that on the same scale! I might think about doing something similar soon though. Thanks for the suggestion!
    4
  571. +Rayne Kraven After I finish the planets, I do intend to move onto the more interesting moons and dwarf planets of our solar system! About your question, if an object is orbiting the Sun, it is can be classified as a dwarf planet, if it's big enough. Otherwise it's an asteroid or comet. When an object orbits something else, like a planet, then it becomes a moon. It's all to do with what is it gravitationally bound to, or what's its parent object. Hope this helps!
    4
  572. Probably in two videos time! Soon soon ;)
    4
  573. liberty research I love that list! If it's yours, I commend you!
    4
  574. Also light exposure from the camera. The exposure would have to be reduced to see detail on the day side of the planet. If you tried to up the exposure to see any city lights, the day side of the planet would be white and washed out.
    4
  575. There's a world shortage of the isotope they use, because they haven't produced it since 1988. I think the reason being it often is a byproduct of weaponised uranium. They only have 10s of kgs left of the stuff at the moment!
    4
  576. Good question! I would say roughly 50,000 times the speed of light!
    4
  577. +Mickeyslowd great idea!
    4
  578. +bill767667 I do believe in extraterrestrial life, but I don't know much more than that. I just think the universe is too big for us to be alone. It's just a matter of time, in my opinion, until we find life somewhere else. I doubt NASA is really hiding aliens from us. There are definitely small planets in the Kuiper belt, Haumea, Makemake, Eris, Sedna, to name but a few. There is also evidence of a larger planet which hasn't been discovered yet. I think these are unlikely to harbour life though, it's too far away from the Sun.
    4
  579. I think the chances are they aren't impact craters as Mars isn't bombarded that often, but if I was to guess it would be deposits of salts which either caused the ice to melt or freeze in a different way. Without looking it up though I could be wrong!
    4
  580. Maybe a supernova?
    4
  581. I will definitely be doing a Curiosity series at some point, but I have a lot to catch up on.
    4
  582. I really don't know if anyone would have survived even if they were filming
    4
  583. It the asteroid belt, just one. Ceres. In the Kuiper belt they aren't technically asteroids anymore, but there's a few there like Pluto, Eris etc
    4
  584. Haha! OK then, shut your eyes and imagine what I'm saying if you don't want illustrations 😅
    4
  585. Thank you! And I'm glad!
    4
  586.  @MelindaGreen  That is actually a timelapse, the movement coming from the orbit of the spacecraft!
    4
  587. I get told off for pronouncing it either way, I knew as soon as I saw that word in the list that I was in trouble in the YouTube comment section 😅
    4
  588. Their orbits aren't retrograde, their rotations are
    4
  589. Wow what a treat!
    4
  590. Considering this is one of my worst performing videos, I sadly don't think that's the case yet. So sorry to hear about your home!
    4
  591. I have a Spanish https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-2A6Z4k5-AJBLO_wDA-ZUg and Portuguese https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChn_-OwvV63mr1yeUGvH-BQ channel, check them out!
    4
  592. It means of all the red dwarves in existence, none of them are old enough to have "died" yet! That's because our best estimate for the age of the universe is rough 14 billion years, and red dwarves can live for hundreds of billions of years.
    4
  593. Actually it took billions of years for the Sun to strip away Mars' atmosphere, so if Mars suddenly had a substantial atmosphere, it would take billions of years to strip away again. That's why terraforming Mars is still a possibility in the distant future
    4
  594. At 2m across... That's a space station for ants!
    4
  595.  @baruchben-david4196  Pluto is not in Holst's work :) He didn't even do Earth! Although the rest of it is fantastic.
    4
  596. Somehow they got deleted 😩
    4
  597. I also think water is simply a lot more abundant than we may have first thought!
    4
  598. Sorry... 😅
    4
  599. Reflection from the lunar surface
    4
  600. Please feel free to press the skip ads button, especially if it's 54 mins!!
    4
  601. It's what I mentioned about shooting stars, we have an atmosphere which protects us from all but the biggest meteors
    4
  602. I live in Switzerland currently :)
    4
  603. Aren't those arms also reading magnetic imprints on the disk? I wonder if that's why it's similar!
    4
  604. Size of the mirrors is another one. I don't know if you've heard of the Extremely Large Telescope ESO are building, but that thing will be insane https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c5/Comparison_optical_telescope_primary_mirrors.svg
    4
  605. Remember, the craft originally had a different target. It got repurposed for 67P
    4
  606. Actually Philae tried multiple times to get in contact with Rosetta, but Rosetta didn't pick up the signal at first. That's why the signal was intermittent, they could only communicate when Rosetta was in the right place. The problem was that they didn't know exactly where Philae was, so they had to kind of guess where to be in order to get that signal. That's why in the section of the video showing the orbit of Rosetta, they had Rosetta go back and forth in a zig zag to try and stay in contact with Philae. Pretty interesting!
    4
  607. The problem with space agencies are that they have so many different websites and repositories for their images. It means finding all there is to see on a planet or topic is a mammoth task. But finding images like the ones you mentioned are like finding hidden gems! Makes it a very worthwhile hobby!
    4
  608. Yes, more are on their way in the coming weeks
    4
  609. It's the result of tidal acceleration over a long period of time. Tidal forces are stronger if the distance between objects is smaller. While we don't know they are tidally locked for sure because we haven't seen it, it would make sense that they are tidally locked!

  610. Interesting side point, the onboard processor is only 20mhz. So yes, not built for video encoding. However I think Curiosity has made videos
    4
  611. I was already worried my explanation was getting too complicated in the video, but this comment is great for anyone that wants to delve a little deeper. Thanks!
    4
  612. It launched on the 25th!
    4
  613. https://www.spacetelescope.org/images/ Those and are few planets are all my backgrounds consist of 😁
    4
  614. It's fair enough! There has been some resistance to this idea, and I'm by no means commited to it, perhaps this will just be a once off ^^
    4
  615. It's a matter of air density, groundlevel on Mars is the equivalent of 100,000ft on Earth, and there's a reason why most planes can't get that high. So yes I think wind power is out. There is wind on Mars, put it only picks up the finest of particles.
    4
  616. Just about! Better than expected anyway 😅
    4
  617. Thanks!
    4
  618. Nope, visible light spectrum 😊
    4
  619. I can't help myself hahaha
    4
  620. To be fair the rover was only expected to last 90 sols, dust buildup probably wasn't a concern during r&d. We know better now!
    4
  621. Timed it to perfection 😎
    4
  622. It's so bad, I love it
    4
  623. Yes, everything else, including radiation, would have to be gone. So we are talking trillions and trillions of years into the future.
    4
  624. No, I am real 😭
    4
  625. Yes!
    4
  626. I purposely made a little CGI symbol in the top right of all the CGI shots. If there isn't one, it's a real image :)
    4
  627. Good point Daniel. Also don't forget that water vapour is also a greenhouse gas!
    4
  628. Of course, my true OG sub! I hope you are well.
    4
  629. Thanks for being a guest star!
    4
  630. Haha and I already thought I was being creative!
    4
  631. They simply hope one doesn't hit them. The chances are pretty small, but you're right, it's not an impossible scenario.
    4
  632. I made a video covering that! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45QAH59q_ik
    4
  633. I think lots of people enjoy context ;)
    4
  634. Sorry for that! 4K seems to still be processing. Check back in a bit :)
    4
  635. The camera was a very good telescope, remember 2 secs before impact it was still 12km away, it would have looked quite small with the naked eye.
    4
  636. It is bound in its orbit around the galaxy. And yes, gravitational influences from other stars will affect it, but its just not in orbit around another star.
    4
  637. Exactly!
    4
  638. Not much, no oxygen!
    4
  639. I just completed a whole series on life in the universe including Europa - find it here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2gLpWRK0QlBGxaSkvvsUn2KOemm7xIbt
    4
  640. They prefer parsecs, LY are for us plebians in reality 😂
    4
  641. Already did it! :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN5w33cLDj4
    4
  642. It would suggest that they were even bigger at one point
    4
  643. Go on then :)
    4
  644. Already done it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3gh7D3Er0U
    4
  645.  @dignelberrt  It's finally fixed!
    4
  646. Not really. I've changed about 80% of it compared to the original.
    4
  647. Mars has the highest volcano :)
    4
  648. Personally I think Venus is a better prospect than Mars. It has similar gravity, at the point in the atmosphere where the air pressure is the same as Earth's, the temperature is also quite pleasant.. all you would need is a oxygen mask. The problem is getting a floating colony to work and grow crops I suppose. Maybe if they ever establish Mars, they will turn their attention to Venus.
    4
  649. Wow thanks for the info! I'll have to do sonething about that... Do you have a link? Thanks so much
    4
  650. A program called Space Engine :)
    4
  651. It will happen a lot sooner than billions of years... In any case, a title is like a newspaper headline. It's there to encourage people to read more than just the headline. It's supposed to spark curiosity. When I write a magnetic field reversal is coming, I want the person browsing to ask themselves "when will it happen?" "Is that even a thing?" And "What will the consequences be?" Then they will click the video and leave satisfied. It's one thing to lie, which I never do in a title, but of course I want the title to be enticing. I want you to click and watch!
    4
  652. I think it's more technology demonstration mission at this point. There's going to be money to be made from space exploration, countries are starting to realise this now I think
    4
  653. Wow thanks for sharing! I do imagine Mars sand being quite similar, size wise at least. If a dune on Mars has bigger particles, I don't think we will ever see it move again.
    4
  654. I think we take the Sun for granted and underestimate how badly it could mess us up should it be so inclined. Out of all the things space could throw at us, this is the most scary because it's so likely to happen.
    4
  655. A moonlet? A moontesimal?
    4
  656. I think that artist impression was probably made before it even arrived!
    4
  657. Probably worth more than a million dollars to anyone that can definitively answer those!
    4
  658. Roger, sad but true. Seems we have some brilliant minds, but no staying power.
    4
  659. Thanks Europa. I hope Jupiter's treating you alright.
    4
  660. Just wait for the next episode on black holes. If this one leaves you questioning your existence, I hate to think what the next one will do!
    4
  661.  @henrycgs  A good point. The quote from the NASA website I got some of this information states "Since the lightning creates a range of frequencies, and since higher frequencies travel faster, the wave howls a falling pitch, giving the wave its name — a whistler." Maybe they generalised this too much. Perhaps it's like glass then in how the wave interacts with the medium, in this case the magnetic field of Earth, seemingly slowing down lower frequencies compared to higher frequencies?
    4
  662. Sadly not :) would love to meet him one day though!
    4
  663. Oops, I did actually mean to include that!
    4
  664. All the stars in the night sky orbit the centre of our galaxy. But it takes a long time to orbit our galaxy, like millions of years. That means over the course of a human lifetime, there is bearly any change. Although, it you had a good telescope and compared the closest stars to the furthest away stars 50 years later, even then you would notice a slight difference. This is because of the distances involved, the galaxy is over 100,000 light years across, an incomprehensible distance for us tiny humans. I hope that makes sense.
    4
  665. It totally has! Well, dust devils away. Dust storms don't quite appear like they do in The Martian. My Mars video has a clip of it (although excuse the fact it was the second video I ever made for the channel, audio quality isn't amazing)
    4
  666. Sorry! I should have specified that this was the first exoplanet around a main sequence star. Thanks for clarifying!
    4
  667. Sounds to me like a Voyager recap might be on the cards at some point then!
    4
  668. A bigger battery probably would have meant that they would have to reduce the amount of science instruments on board. Solar panels aren't an option on Titan. It was too small for a RTG. Also remember, this was built around 25 years ago now, battery technology is a lot more efficient now than it was back then!
    4
  669. They are named after certain naming conventions, which means they don't have too much to choose from. But you're right, it can get confusing!
    3
  670. SuperFish40 Great questions. I believe the theory at the moment is the magnetic field is generated by the magnetic hydrogen. The core is rock ice only by atomic structure, we actually have no idea what these molecules would look like under these pressures. But they assume there is this core due to the mass of the planet, there has to be some heavier elements and they naturally fall to the centre of the planet. (Hence why you have the first lightest hydrogen and then helium layers.) This is my understanding of it anyway!
    3
  671. apolloblueboy At the moment I'm trying to stick to objects we actually have good imagery of, but New Horizons will be reaching Pluto later this year, so look forward to a video on that ;)
    3
  672. +Bryan Thalhammer Great comment! Yes this scale is what I hoped to convey in the video. It is a bit mind blowing. I did just do another video of the scale of our galaxy, that one is even more mindblowing. And yes, the average speed was indeed around 70kph. Thanks!
    3
  673. +johnnybgoode1950 Not anytime soon!
    3
  674. +World of MONSTERS It'll be tricky, but it's been requested a lot so I'll see what I can do!
    3
  675. I only had 5 mins so I had to be selective!
    3
  676. It is actually a website. It's pretty basic but does the job! http://sciencenetlinks.com/interactives/messenger/dom/DayOnMercury.html
    3
  677. Planets with atmospheres tend to have less craters as most meteorites burn up before they hit the surface :)
    3
  678. Maybe one day xD
    3
  679. Yeh I have put an annotation on the video correcting that mistake, but if you are on mobile you won't have been able to see it. Good spot though! :)
    3
  680. Depends if it has fuel for it I suppose. Also the camera is likely to be broken by then and most of its instruments are designed for a gas planet. Not saying it's impossible though!
    3
  681. Depends if you go from a lower pressure to a higher pressure very quickly. If you slowly adjust to the changes in pressure, humans can survive high pressures quite well. It's low pressure we don't deal so well with, when everything wants to go out of our skin. Temperature would cook you quite quickly, but also the acidic atmosphere would suffocate you very quickly too.
    3
  682. +Al TheFreezerMan I think filming took about 2 hours total (but that includes stopping to talk about the planets)
    3
  683. +Thomas Scott Exposure of the planet drowns them out. If you upped the exposure to be able to see the stars as well as the planet, the planet would be white washed out!
    3
  684. haha that's meant to be iron oxide, as in rust
    3
  685. Dennis Hartnett Hey thank you so much!! Interestingly, the very next video I'm working on is Jupiter for the "Our Solar System's Planets" series. It's going to be great so stay tuned ;)
    3
  686. If it was travelling through an atmopshere, then yes. But through a vacuum, there's no force stopping it from turning. Welcome to the channel :)
    3
  687. XpertPilotFSX Maybe not, we are tracking it and will have plenty of warning if it is on a crash course with us.
    3
  688. I'll be walking a long time!! xD
    3
  689. +Qonita Badeges Check from 9:20 on! There's pretty much every image that was taken of the venus surface.
    3
  690. Chemical X I am away from my computer for a few weeks, but I'll try and remember when I'm reunited and let you know!
    3
  691. Wow that is quite the compliment. Thanks so much!!
    3
  692. Etcha Hey thanks for the feedback! And don't let go of the dream just yet, watch the private market in about 30 years time when it comes to space travel ;)
    3
  693. +twistedyogert Reasonably possible! Just hopefully we can find it before it's too late.
    3
  694. Aliens from another dimension! D:
    3
  695. It would probably be better as the atmosphere is a lot more thin than Earth's. You wouldn't have a problem with light pollution either!
    3
  696. It actually does, it's called Luna!
    3
  697. Glad you enjoyed it! The next video in the series will be Saturn. If all goes well, expect it tomorrow!
    3
  698. Thanks! And I'm sure *****  would be happy to hear that! :)
    3
  699. MünRaker The Russian probes are actually pretty interesting! So definitely they will be included. Good idea!
    3
  700. +jim brown Yes most of them!
    3
  701. SuperFish40 Yes and yes! The planets were my number one goal when I started this channel, but there are some really interesting moons/dwarf planets/asteroids I will still want to do similar videos for once I'm finished!
    3
  702. Nope! But it does have a 3:2 spin orbit resonance so you are not far off!
    3
  703. Yes supernovae, and also candidates within 3000 light years. I have actually mentioned Eta Carinae before in this video https://youtu.be/-aJWtxIR8-Y about four mins in. But you are right, hypernova are potentially even more interesting!
    3
  704. Stellardrone - Billions and Billions
    3
  705. Aw I'm glad to hear it! Thanks so much!!
    3
  706. Maybe not ever, but for me and you, we'll probably never see another mission there.
    3
  707. I'll do it again in the future!
    3
  708. If it was much further away from the Earth, it could!
    3
  709. Bullets these days contain oxidisers, so yes they would!
    3
  710. Yep!
    3
  711.  @JennySimon206  That is Ultima Thule, different mission :)
    3
  712. That would be its diameter :)
    3
  713. I checked before publishing, vortexes is correct too :)
    3
  714. Proof?
    3
  715. Speculation isn't proof I'm afraid...
    3
  716. It's a Youtube render error. That's why the video is still unlisted, and reaching out to Youtube customer support has proven fruitless so far...
    3
  717. Have you seen the moon? Not much colour there haha
    3
  718. I say it correctly now 😣
    3
  719.  @cykkm  Left to its own devices, it's just blend, boring and repetitive. That's really what I was battling with. Maybe one day it will do better at this but at the moment - for actual engaging script writing - it's still got a ways to go.
    3
  720. I did actually look this up while writing the script... Cambridge dictionary: "two people or pieces of equipment that work together to achieve a result". I thought that worked!
    3
  721. Pretty sure all spherical moons are tidally locked, plus a few smaller ones too!
    3
  722. I responded to you in the other one but I'll mention here too. These two videos were not getting views, they would have struggled to get to 80k. Changing the titles to include the word 'shock' sent the number of views sky high. I would really love to make a living without clickbait, but because of the sudden influx of space channels that are getting millions of views because they ARE using clickbait makes me realise that I have to adapt or this channel won't survive. I am experimenting with some other titles but this one really resonates with people somehow.
    3
  723. Just think of it as an extremely powerful magnet :)
    3
  724. I live in Switzerland, but am from the UK :)
    3
  725. Probably will be the next one in the series!
    3
  726. The rotation means you can't do a long exposure, but even if you could, the resolution is still too low
    3
  727. Great idea. I'll see how possible that is!
    3
  728. That was taken with the radio telescope EHT. It's very different from Hubble because it is an array telescope plus it only looks in radio waves. I did a video on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzWFHFMToZA
    3
  729. Close.. Haha no it's the number inside a catalogue. And there's lots of different catalogues which categorise different types of objects, so in the end there are a lot of letters and numbers. That's the simple answer!
    3
  730. I will ask him! He simply sent me the wav. I don't even know if it has a name!
    3
  731. I hope I didn't disappoint 😁
    3
  732. I am not he sorry
    3
  733. Great question and great answer!
    3
  734. Just a correction in this video, Dimidium is the first exoplanet discovered orbiting a main sequence star. There had been other discoveries before that of exoplanets orbiting a pulsar, or neutron star, called PSR B1257+12. Sorry I wasn't more specific in the video itself!
    3
  735. I don't think what you considered the whole landing sequence to be?
    3
  736. I don't know about that, but Jupiter's gravity has definitely nudged it a few times
    3
  737.  @OleOlson  you know, I would love to, but it doesn't look like the easiest industry to get into!
    3
  738. The shocking part was how long it's lasted, (spoilers) but it's still going. It was only meant to last a few flights at most.
    3
  739. A lunar day is the equivalent of 28 Earth days, so it has sunrises and sunsets just like Earth
    3
  740. Sorry everyone! This is very annoying...
    3
  741. Son of kami, I've already done the script, next week will be production! Expect it on Friday :)
    3
  742. I do plan to look into them soon!
    3
  743. I know leaving the Earth facing side untouched is being talked about, but whether everyone will agree to it or not remains to be seen.
    3
  744. Maybe one day!
    3
  745. There was a planned mission but budget cuts cancelled it
    3
  746. They are still there, bit they aren't working anymore. Although they did last for about 10 years I believe! The data from them is still being looked at by scientists today :)
    3
  747. Vielen dank!
    3
  748. I'll investigate that!
    3
  749. Depends on the health of the probe at Perijove 35 :)
    3
  750. ;)
    3
  751. Yes I noticed that too. Ah well, I still liked the image!
    3
  752. They are listed in different catalogues under different designations :)
    3
  753. It keeps getting delayed... With any luck it will be operational by 2021 :/
    3
  754. For stargazing, I would have to agree with you!
    3
  755. Oh man I did try, but I still wasn't sure if I'd done it correctly! So that's reassuring!
    3
  756. There are some assumptions, but basically the odds of finding a planet around a star is like less than 1/100, because the orbital plane of of the planet has to be aligned with us in order for us to see it. The chances get lower depending on how far away the planet is to its star. So they say if they have found this many planets, there must be x amount more they haven't seen.
    3
  757. When they release images, they really aren't very consistent colour- wise. I think it's because each image contains different wavelengths converted to visible light, so it is just however they convert the different wavelengths in each image...
    3
  758. I think by some small percentage, they may do. But it's not that the distance makes no difference, it's just much less significant than the role the tilt of the Earth plays.
    3
  759. It's a valid point to be fair. Let's hope government regulations keep up with this expanding industry. The thing is, privatisation really had to happen sometime, there's no way around that. Space is too full of resources.
    3
  760. The Grand Finale was actually the months before the final descent
    3
  761. It's not my idea, it's NASA's idea. The mission life is only expected to be 100 days and honestly I don't think this will be such an expensive mission, so if they lose it earlier than that then they might not be so sad
    3
  762. If you paid attention instead of trying to look for holes in the story, you would have heard that there were two rovers, Spirit shut down and died, Opportunity carried on.
    3
  763.  @5Andysalive  Imho I think the only ones that get away with it are comedy channels, they tend to try and blend it into their videos through comedy. I'm not a comedian though, I won't try that 😅 but yes some people clearly do appreciate the sponsors as sponsors wouldn't be spending money on it if it didn't work!
    3
  764.  @RP-wp7in  Here's the playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORSdHnMH-dI&list=PL2gLpWRK0QlCPaLzEw8I3yL72CM2EzC-k Enjoy!
    3
  765. Good question! I may end up doing a video on that :)
    3
  766.  @atillakaran5052  exactly! 😊
    3
  767. ~12 times more would have made it into a very cool brown dwarf! :)
    3
  768. This is a free video...
    3
  769. It didn't stay connected, it was constantly connecting and reconnecting when it went in and out of range. It was assisted somewhat though by the MRO, which acted like an orbital relay to Earth. But there were weeks when they couldn't communicate with Opportunity when Earth and Mars' orbit had the Sun directly in the middle of them. During those times Opportunity operated autonomously as much as it could. It had the software to do basic things by itself.
    3
  770. The one in 2012 that missed us was also during a "low" point in the Sun's 11 year cycle. Anything is possible!
    3
  771. Yeh sorry guys, it was getting needlessly aggressive. I want people to have a good time on my channel, not have people call them names.
    3
  772. Filtering the words "flat" and "sheeple" tends to catch most of them 😁
    3
  773. Number 3 is the main reason I believe. Limited bandwidth between Earth and Cassini so they would rather have resolution over colour. They can always add that later in post.
    3
  774. This isn't about sound, it's about radio waves 😊
    3
  775. It's not replenishing the water. However, although the moon is small, 250kg per second really isn't a lot in the grand scheme of things, surprising as that may seem. Good question!
    3
  776. All right apart from JWST probably won't be discovering any exoplanets either. Both will study known exoplanets.
    3
  777. Is my statement wrong? A day on the moon is a month for us, so if you want to see the night side, you'd probably have to land on it, right?
    3
  778. I think I was meant to say that it went 2cm/s at that point in the mission, not that its top speed was 2cm/s. Oops!
    3
  779. After Cook's voyage of discovery on Endeavour the ship :)
    3
  780. Unfortunately Israel was just out of view in these clips
    3
  781. I'll be doing exoplanets in the next video! Hopefully some of your questions will be answered then. Thanks for the comment!
    3
  782. Rocky planetesimals are thought to form in stellar systems, but it's definitely possible that many get lost into interstellar space and hop between stars, or roam free around the galaxy!
    3
  783. I think this one is "Nevada City- Huma Huma" :)
    3
  784. I think there is still an element of "thinking with your heart" verses "thinking with your brain", and even "thinking with your gut". I debated with the scriptwriter of this video about the different places I feel a sense of self within my body, and it often depends on the type of thought processes I'm having
    3
  785. Noooooo I hadn't heard that yet! That is pretty devastating.
    3
  786. I do believe they have taken some stereoscopic images of some of the landing sites
    3
  787. That Earth's so hot right now
    3
  788. I did use it!
    3
  789. The Beating Sun - Anima :) https://soundcloud.com/animassound

  790. Amaze
    3
  791. It will probably check out some of our outer planets at some point, yes! Although that won't be a priority
    3
  792. Schön!
    3
  793. Oops! I've watched through this video many times and I didn't pick up on this mistake 😅
    3
  794. No it isn't about tidal locking sadly, it's about the distance from the star where the temperature would be right for water to pool on the surface. The thing is, scientists aren't convinced tidal locking is enough to prevent life from forming. On the terminator line between night and day, conditions could be just right. But we don't really know without seeing some examples.
    3
  795. Yes it's the case... and it's because they all formed within the Sun's protoplanetary disk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protoplanetary_disk
    3
  796. At some point I definitely will!
    3
  797. Way way way bigger
    3
  798. Extremely observant of you, but if you look even closer during those shots at the top right of the screen, you'll find your answer.
    3
  799. When "seeing is believing" isn't even enough! That's some pretty deep philosophy, reminiscent of Immanuel Kant haha
    3
  800. The list is for supernova candidates within 3,000 light years. Although, yes, Eta Carinae will be spectacular when it goes. Crab Nebula was SN 1054.
    3
  801. Heat and radiation actually... and Venus is only hotter because of the greenhouse effect. A spacecraft in orbit would find it cooler there
    3
  802. Actually by chance, I did have ramen noodles today
    3
  803. Europa's liquid is under the surface :)
    3
  804. I did live in South Africa for about 2 and a half years!

  805.  @Daedhart  I can see why you think it was misleading, but in the infinity example, I did specify that only those two objects existed in this hypothetical universe. That means everything that could power its expansion also doesn't exist in this example. I was just trying to keep it simple.
    3
  806. They base it off the direction it spins. From that point, actually Venus is tiled at 178 degrees because it rotates the opposite direction compared to the rest of the planets.
    3
  807. You too!
    3
  808. There's a difference between a solar day and a sidereal day. We measure Earth days using solar days (sunrise to sunrise). If you were to do the same with Mercury, a solar day would be 176 Earth days (2 Mercurian years). A sidereal day (exactly one rotation on its axis) on Earth is something like 23 hrs 56 mins, but a sidereal day on Mercury is 58.6 Earth days. The disparity is caused by the rotation of the planet and its orbital speed. If you follow a crater in the Mercury animation in this video, you'll see how this happens (the animation follows Mercury as it goes through its year/day cycle).

  809. I did! Was it too subtle? 😅
    3
  810. That there is no mission due to go back in our lifetime is all 😅
    3
  811. Dang it

  812. It's Anima - Spirit of the Valley feat. M-PeX :) Thanks!
    3
  813. Go to the end of the video for the playlist! :)
    3
  814. The rocks, maybe. What I want to see are craters like that on Earth!
    3
  815. It's in the video and in the description :)
    3
  816. Very nice question! I'll add that to the list
    3
  817. I was halfway through making a planet 9 video, but I never finished it... perhaps I'll see in what state that edit is in at some point :)
    3
  818. One can hope! That would be awesome :)
    3
  819. If you want to check out more images, I recommend https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/. All the images there usually have some kind of explanation attached too. Thanks for the comment! :D
    3
  820. That's according to prices today. Flood the market with whatever material and prices will plummet. Although that's not to say there won't be a market for asteroid mining, I'm just always wary of those figuures
    3
  821. Interesting question! I think the answer would be if the gun is powerful enough, it could technically happen, as long as you are an amazing shot!
    3
  822. It is such an amazing piece of software
    3
  823. CMEs affect a wide angle though... The one in 2012 was probably around 120°
    3
  824. Kind of but not truly. It's in a 3:2 spin orbit resonance.
    3
  825. I meant elliptical :)
    3
  826. I feel like there's some underlying message in your comment but I just can't get it... ;)
    3
  827. Our problem is that it's hard to imagine life that isn't like our own, because we have no idea of what it could actually be like. A sentient cloud? A planet that feels? These guesses are as good as anyone's. I just hope sometime in the future we can really say "it's life Jim, but not as we know it". As long as it is not out to hurt us I suppose!
    3
  828. Seán compiles the images, and turns them into a video. There aren't enough frames from the original footage for 60fps at this speed so he also does some magic to smooth the video to what you see. It's doesn't own the images themselves, it's the compilation he makes. Believe me, I know how much effort goes into these clips!
    3
  829. That's because I was! :D Good attempt though.
    3
  830. I don't think it has sadly!
    3
  831. Maybe check back in a bit, YT seems to still be rendering the 4K version
    3
  832. 😁
    3
  833. I'd be surprised if we had any clue, but maybe I'll look into it!
    3
  834. That circle was created by the rover's own rock abbrasion tool on its arm. They do that so they can see a cross section of the rock
    3
  835. Haha wow! I hadn't noticed that :)
    3
  836. Cheapest but still with some quality, you probably want to be spending about $200.
    3
  837. Yes, probably after this one finishes
    3
  838. No point in stagnating, always good to try and improve where I can ☺but thanks for noticing!
    3
  839. Interesting concept!
    3
  840. I said we know more about it than the Jovian moons ;)
    3
  841. Launch in 2025, still so far away 😫

  842. The thumbnail is a zoomed in section of one of the videos in the intro. For more of that style, check out the creator here https://www.instagram.com/simon2940/
    3
  843. With all these types of videos, I still try and see it from an astronomy perspective - studying Earth as if we were studying the weather of Venus from space, kind of thing. I try and have a more zoomed-out perspective when showcasing these things.

  845. I have already! Check the card at the end of this video
    3
  846. My opinion is that you can't prove that religion is true or false with science, and you can't prove that science is true or false with religion. And honestly, there's no point trying to convince anyone otherwise. About the video and the theory, it might be right, it might not, but it's the best idea we have right now based on what scientists know and observe.
    3
  847. I figured if a day on the moon lasts a month, to land on wherever it was night would mean it would stay night for a week or two. Plenty of time to look up at the stars :)
    3
  848. The force and pressure of what? We are talking about speed in space, not the atmosphere.
    3
  849. You're right, it's 40 mins latency which means it's a return trip, 20 mins to get there and 20 back, my mistake 😥
    3
  850. Only been discovered around the South Pole so far. The moon gets too hot during the day for ice in the parts exposed to the Sun.
    3
  851. Yes there is!
    3
  852. Air temperature was mentioned not because it starts fires, but because combined with drought it dries out the vegetation. The triggers for the fires could be all of the above.
    3
  853. For this series, it's going through a variety of sources, but mainly old news archives
    3
  854. I have two ongoing Mars series with Spirit and Perseverance. I don't want to overwhelm everyone with rover videos.
    3
  855. The only enhancement is the colour. This was done to be able to distinguish details more clearly. A true colour image of Pluto can be found here: http://pre00.deviantart.net/65d7/th/pre/i/2015/279/7/5/new_horizons_pluto_mosaic__true_color_edit__by_harbingerdawn-d9c536f.jpg :)
    3
  856. Nice topic idea! thanks!
    3
  857. It's publicly available! You just have to do a lot of digging :)
    3
  858. Hitting something at 200kph, no matter where you are, will do you some serious harm. The gravity is just about how quick it takes for you to go 200kph.
    3
  859. It would have been but too many people got the answer right sorry! Sorry for your bad luck, hope it improves :/
    3
  860. First thing to realise is that there is no centre to the universe. This means there isn't a specific point they are looking at, just as far away as they can look. The further away, the further back in time!
    3
  861. After Jupiter's wife, Juno
    3
  862. Yes exactly 😊
    3
  863. Thanks guys! 😁
    3
  864. Not on the web browser though, you need to download Google Earth Pro :)
    3
  865. Just to go on further from what Dave said, CO2 is a heavy gas compared to oxygen and others, and so is the last one to go in the case of Mars. It probably was a lot more varied at one point.
    3
  866. Is he the greatest of all time?
    3
  867. I covered myself by starting the section by saying "For high mass stars..." :P
    3
  868. Thanks for the suggestion! I made one now :)
    3
  869. 😁
    3
  870. Until it is.
    3
  871. Clockwork is not the same as clockwise 😝
    3
  872. I actually do say parameters, it's just my accent 😅
    3
  873. Weathering from micrometeor impacts and radiation from the Sun. This kind of weathering takes a lot longer than weathering on Earth (millions of years), so tracks from 50 years ago would still be in pristine detail
    3
  874. Wensleydale for sure
    3
  875. We have!
    3
  876. Yes oops. I'll pin a correction in the comments
    3
  877. No it isn't :) for example, light travelling through glass is slower than through a vacuum
    3
  878. Most of it was sourced from NASA, who release everything in the public domain. So if you've seen it before, you likely saw it from someone who also used NASA material :)
    3
  879. If people are being aggressive then I delete their comments. I want my channel to be uplifting and that people can browse my videos without being called an idiot because they enjoyed it.
    3
  880. Relays would also help
    3
  881. It just makes me wonder if we are in for more of the same in the future, is this a pattern or an anomaly?
    3
  882. If an object is in orbit around something, that means it is in its gravity. The moons, probes, etc. They are just moving so fast to the side that they never fall down if that makes sense. If the gravity of Jupiter just stopped one day they would all just shoot off into space because of this sideways movement and without the downwards pull of Jupiter keeping them in orbit.
    3
  883. A quasar is an active black hole, but a black hole isn't always a quasar :)
    3
  884. The more I do research on these missions, the more I love them :)
    3
  885. Yeh, Star Trek does many things right, but not nebulae.
    3
  886. Ah but I specifically didn't say that it's 10.8 billion light years away, only that it took the light 10.8 billion light years to reach us. You fell for my cunning trap!
    3
  887. Yes, in the previous episode :)
    3
  888. I got most of these from the JPL photojournal website. It's not a complete list of pics but it's a good start I'm sure!
    3
  889. I added that so you can appreciate the scale easier 😅
    3
  890. You are right!
    3
  891. Wow I definitely didn't stumble across that Mars image, that was quite something! The other image I was saving for the next video :)
    3
  892. I believe it is considered too hot, even for the organisms that live around the hot vents at the bottom of Earth's oceans. If life exists there, it would be very different from anything we have seen on Earth.
    3
  893. Space Engine
    3
  894. Yes! But probably not for another month or two :)
    3
  895. Well if they aren't going to send probes there, then they should! I don't know how good JWST will be at it to be honest because its an infrared telescope. We'll see!
    3
  896. You are right, total mission time has been around 5500 sols. I've only just got to around sol 900 in the story so far :)
    3
  897. I really hope so! :)
    2
  898. Elchanan Birnbaum Thanks so much! Really appreciate it.
    2
  899. Hey thanks for the feedback! I would've loved to have made it 4K, but sadly a lot of the material I used was barely 1080p... NASA just doesn't release a lot of stuff about Mercury in a very high resolution for some reason (that I could find anyway). The next video I'm working on in this series though is going to be Saturn and that WILL be in 4K :)
    2
  900. Well I don't know about you but this doesn't look like CGI to me... http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/shuttle/sts-110/hires/s110e5822.jpg and if it's just a matter of opinion, that's where this argument ends. You can't really argument what I perceive to be real and something you perceive to be CGI.
    2
  901. Yousef Muhanna Thanks for watching!
    2
  902. To get a good view, I would reckon at least 50,000 ly.
    2
  903. KarbineKyle Hey thanks for watching pretty much all of my videos! I'm really glad they are of interest to people. And Neptune and Triton are certainly on my list of upcoming videos, no worries!
    2
  904. skylilly1 I'll see what I can do!
    2
  905. Sonya Webb I'm glad you enjoyed it!
    2
  906. +iliketrains0pwned It's not 100% confirmed yet, but yes that is the theory!
    2
  907. TheMisterMotU From the left side of the image to the right side is about 2-4km. The camera is attached to the HiRISE probe, so all these images are being taken from space! The interesting thing with this camera though is it doesn't take a square picture like conventional cameras, it takes pictures like a photocopier. As it orbits the planet, it's taking a continuous picture line by line!
    2
  908. Exactly!
    2
  909. https://pics-about-space.com/planet-jupiter-clouds?p=1 I believe the artist is Ron Miller. Thanks!
    2
  910. barrie mcdermid Thank you so much! Telling your friends how much you like the channel would help us out a lot. The first song is Ticker - Silent Partner, then Secret Conversations - The 126ers, and finally Seeger - John Deley and the 41 Players. Thanks again!
    2
  911. That's a good question I haven't really thought of. maybe it has something to do with the fuel needed? Or perhaps to make it easier to transmit the data back to Earth?
    2
  912. ♡eMy♡ I've made Saturn already! Check it out!
    2
  913. You know, I think it would be so awesome to go somewhere in space. Mars especially, due to having less gravity on Earth, has landscapes you just wouldn't see here... take a look at this video, Mars Flyover (HD) I was really impressed with how much taller everything is on Mars!
    2
  914. DipsyMum29 Very glad to hear it! Thanks so much.
    2
  915. It might be simple to understand for you, but for some people they think orbits can only only occur around the equator... believe me...
    2
  916. RK NINE It's near Bern in the pre-Alps.
    2
  917. It's all about perspective. Juno did actually take photos of Earth as it left. And also this video was sped up considerably to show the moons movement. Plus, a lot of this video is CGI!
    2
  918. Oh I see what you're saying, Northern Ireland rather than Ireland. Yes you're right!
    2
  919. I wouldn't worry about something like that happening anytime soon (in the next few million years), like you mentioned the solar system is pretty stable now. This collision with Uranus would likely have happened billions of years ago.
    2
  920. +Power puncher My wife's reaction was "WOW" when she saw it the first time :)
    2
  921. If you land on the night side of the moon, then you would see the stars fine. Apparently your eyes adjust to the brightness of the landscape and so stars aren't bright enough to be visible while standing on the day side of the moon.
    2
  922. This has actually been an idea I've heard before, the problem is one day on the moon is around 28 days, which means 14 days the surface telescope will be out of commission because it will be on the day side of the moon. NASA does plan to have a moon base in the near future though, maybe they will include a telescope as part of it eventually?
    2
  923. I have emailed Youtube support, I'm hoping to hear from them soon!
    2
  924. Good question! It's about the angle the planet is facing the Sun. The planet will pretty much always get the same amount of sunlight, no matter where it is in its year, whereas the rings will sometimes get a lot of Sun, or in some cases hardly any at all when they are edge on. For example http://www.spacetelescope.org/static/archives/images/screen/opo9616c.jpg
    2
  925. PhantomNews01 Hey thanks for the suggestion! I'm having a look now, and first impressions are good! I've been trying to keep my channel to actual pictures and videos but for the stuff we don't have a lot of material on, this could very very useful. Thanks again!
    2
  926. The reflectors on the moon are a great example. Shine a powerful enough laser and you'll get a return signal. Also, looking through a telescope at Saturn, Jupiter etc. provide surprising detail, even with just binoculars. This video is mainly CGI, and your eyes can tell. The images NASA release are real, with simple colour corrections to highlight whatever it is they are trying to show. What about the international space station? You can clearly see it hurtling round its orbit, and again if you look with a telescope you can clearly see detail. I don't know why it's hard to believe we have been to space, why fake many many rocket launches wasting billions of dollars of fuel to not go the full nine yards?
    2
  927. Not yet! Is it good? I want to though at some point for sure!
    2
  928. Yep!
    2
  929. It does. Stars are really quite dim in comparison. Another point though is a lot of the time, photos of planets are in fact mosaics, because the lens is not wide enough to be able to capture the whole thing at the same time. That way, most of the image is in fact only the planet. Depends how the photo was taken but the first point also still stands! If you want to see stars though, have a look at my Saturn video. In there, there is a video of aurora on Saturn. Because the camera is on the night side of Saturn, and because aurora is quite dim, they had to up the exposure to capture it. This means though a lot of stars are visible in the background!
    2
  930. Crispin Cain You are most welcome! Thanks for watching!
    2
  931. Check the annotation at the end of the video for real images of Jupiter. Hubble does take some clear photos, but obviously not on the same level as an orbiter. Like it was mentioned, the last orbiter was 2003, so there's been a big gap in time of close up imagery. Also, Juno itself should give us some beautiful views very soon!
    2
  932. Try a park! :)
    2
  933. Simon Grotenbreg Good question! Basically the images are actually mosaics, lots of images stitched together to make a whole. Because you are right, single images by themselves would not have that resolution.
    2
  934. Thank you!!
    2
  935. What I find funny is people are so surprised that Venus is visible in the night sky, let alone that it's the second brightest object after the moon!
    2
  936. Abel Bastos Hi! Portuguese could definitely be interesting! Is youtube big in Brazil? I've actually put English subtitles to most of the videos now. I'll send you a message and see if we can work something out.
    2
  937. +Özkan Odabas This week!
    2
  938. Great suggestions!
    2
  939. Luqita21 Thank you!
    2
  940. Awesome! Thanks! :D
    2
  941. Thanks for the suggestion! Expect to see a Jupiter video beginning of February ;)
    2
  942. Bern, Switzerland :)
    2
  943. Daniel Godoy Expect it in the next month or two!
    2
  944. +My opinion doesnt matter I've been moving house from Switzerland to the UK, and so I haven't had my computer here. As it happens I'm actually going this weekend to pick it up, so you won't have to wait too much longer! :)
    2
  945. +RIGHTS RESERVED Actually there are some really great pictures of Earth. Look up the Blue Marble!
    2
  946. +Realinformer The same reason moons stay in orbit around a planet. These rings aren't stationary, they rotate around the planet. Also, the moons of Saturn also play their part in keeping the structure of the rings regular :)
    2
  947. True! But the filters allow you to see the details :)
    2
  948. +Karthik Mariappan There is a greenhouse effect happening on Mars, but because the atmosphere is so thin it doesn't retain the heat as much as in comparison to Earth, or Venus for example. It's the density of the atmosphere that makes the difference here.
    2
  949. In order for the G forces not to kill the astronaut, the acceleration to half the speed of light would take an awfully long time. And then you have the problem of going too fast at the other side. I think the star wouldn't be able to slingshot it in time before the spacecraft whizzed past. And even if that worked, you have the issue of deceleration coming back to Earth.
    2
  950. A lot of the time, it is!
    2
  951. great explanation!
    2
  952. Yes! Although I'm not hugely active, just post updates about videos. Check the description!
    2
  953. My accent is very corrupted! I'm Welsh, lived in South Africa for two years and Germany/Switzerland for 3 years :)
    2
  954. It hasn't had a close look yet, but it will this upcoming Perijove! I'm pretty excited for that!
    2
  955. ***** I'll be interested to see if you think the situation improves with my next video! I spent a lot of time researching how to get it sounding better and I think I've got the hang of it a bit more now! Thanks for the feedback though!
    2
  956. apolloblueboy Thanks very much!
    2
  957. It's a rabbit hole you won't come out of for days. Be warned.
    2
  958. Part 2 coming soon :)
    2
  959.  @claudiusdunclius2045  Oops! Yes I did 😅
    2
  960. Hi! I used a free software called Space Engine. I highly recommend it. It probably doesn't have every galaxy on record and a lot of it is randomly generated but it certainly has the local group. Thanks!
    2
  961. No 😅
    2
  962. Not an awful lot of colour, no. Although these images are indeed in black and white. The LRO does have a colour camera, but it's the lowest resolution camera onboard the spacecraft.
    2
  963. There's still Earth... I just haven't been brave enough to make it yet ^^
    2
  964. If you are talking specifically about the HiRise data, have a look here! https://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ You will need a program that can read JP2 files though for the really high resolution files.
    2
  965. Ah sorry good point! I added it as a card but I'll put it in the description too.
    2
  966. Thank you! I'll enjoy it :D
    2
  967. Ice and rocks :)
    2
  968. In the first video, I thought it was named after the greek mythology character so I pronounced it "Karon". Some people in the comments said that was wrong, and apparently although it is spelled and even named after the greek mythology character, apparently the person who discovered Charon actually named it after his wife Charlene - her nickname Char - and stuck and "on" on the end. Confusing, and I've heard people in the space community pronouce it differently in the same sentence so I'm not even sure there is an official way to pronouce it.
    2
  969. I think it's like mass trying to get to the speed of light, it can keep getting faster but never quite get there. The matter falling towards the black hole does keep moving closer and closer, but it gets to the point where its movement becomes unnoticeable to the observer, even if it really is still moving.
    2
  970. I've been feeling that too. Perhaps sometime this month :)
    2
  971. It's more like a cross section of the universe.
    2
  972. That truly is a positive outlook! We can hope!
    2
  973. Deal. I'll look into it
    2
  974.  @songzheng3817  Fixed the link https://discord.gg/TKw8Hpvtv8
    2
  975. You are absolutely right, but I didn't realise how close minded they are when I first made this video. Ah well, if it helps one person, I'll consider that a success.
    2
  976. Check this out https://youtu.be/8qajY8SegNo
    2
  977. One of the rovers has seen a Mars-Mercury transit, but an Mars-Earth transit probably happens even less than an Earth-Venus transit
    2
  978. http://lroc.sese.asu.edu/posts/1111 Enjoy :)
    2
  979. When I made it, I didn't realise most of flat earthers are trolls. Ah well
    2
  980. I did have you in mind while making this 😝
    2
  981. It's amazing to me how my space videos can help people in the most unusual of ways 😅 I'm glad it helped and hope you won't have to go through that again!
    2
  982. Actually we've seen plenty. The LRO even has some before and after shots of some very fresh impacts
    2
  983. 'Believes' is already suggestive. 'Confirms' would be absolute
    2
  984. I think you are spot on. Some dunes with larger particles are already relics from Mars' past.
    2
  985. That's not a stupid question at all! It did tumble for a long time, but it's conservation of angular momentum meant that eventually it came to a rest at 90 degrees. The best way I can describe it is like a spinning top, when you first spin it, it is chaotic as you didn't apply the force evenly. But after a second or two, it starts spinning neatly on its top.
    2
  986. The UK is part of the ESA :)
    2
  987. Not far off! I actually did a video on that "Is Jupiter a failed star?"
    2
  988. Simple answer is because this is my full time job. You (viewers) don't pay me, but sponsors do. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't be able to afford to do this.
    2
  989. Thank you for watching!

  990. I just want to do more, but the current stuff will carry on regardless!
    2
  991. I would guess a fragment from a big collision somewhere millions to billions of years ago. It's rotating too fast for it to be a two-lobed object, it would have fallen apart by now if it was.
    2
  992. No I said the last eruption was a billion years ago. Impacts happen frequently. We've even seen some happen. Nothing hugely massive though
    2
  993. It would be a couple of hundred km apart
    2
  994. Cold is the absence of heat, just like dark is the absence of light...
    2
  995. Spread the word! ;)
    2
  996. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2gLpWRK0QlCPaLzEw8I3yL72CM2EzC-k :)
    2
  997. It would need to be visible in radio frequencies, but yes!
    2
  998. Yes that would be ideal, but it's currently not like that.
    2
  999. South Wales :)

  1000. Do that experiment again but with an anvil and you'll have your answer. Just another anecdote, I was carrying some shopping bags home the other day and I thought to myself, wow gravity sure is strong! I'll grant you, it's not a scientific method, but neither is yours :P
    2
  1001. Maybe...
    2
  1002. 😳
    2
  1003. Needs oxygen to ignite
    2
  1004. Has there ever been a game playing with optical illusions? Guess it would be difficult as everyone sees it differently. Could be funny with a top down platformer where you think you're going up a mound and instead fall down a crater 😅
    2
  1005. That could be a topic for a video!
    2
  1006. Thank you for supporting the channel. Excited for you to read it!
    2
  1007. I would think it's possible! But we would be talking about vast distances in between the objects
    2
  1008. This conversation is going deeper than I expected!
    2
  1009. It's a possibility!
    2
  1010. I don't usually answer these kinds of comments but yours is respectful and articulated well. The problem is this: descriptive titles don't get views. When I started the channel I would do simple titles explaining exactly what was in the video and it worked because there were basically no other space channels in competition with me. Today, there are hundreds, and 80% of them straight up lie about what's in their videos with their titles and thumbnails. With such bold claims, their click through rates are unsurprisingly high, meaning they started getting recommended rather than my channel. So while I don't lie in my titles, keeping it vague means people click on my videos, and I still try and deliver on the title so people can hopefully leave satisfied. I know not everyone appreciates it. And it's not the way I wanted to go, but it's the way the algorithm has pushed me. I respect your decision but for every one of you there are 20 that don't mind my titles, and I realised a long time ago it's impossible to please everyone anyway, so it's better to go with what the analytics are telling me.
    2
  1011. I'll add lensing to the list of potential future questions... It's a very interesting topic!
    2
  1012. And this is why I used trillions 😅
    2
  1013. Nope! Just this one :)
    2
  1014. Well like I said in the video, yes and no. If you went a billion light years away from here, that point would also have its own sphere of an observable universe, with galaxies looking younger the further they look, and cosmic background radiation all around.
    2
  1015. That's very kind of you to say. Glad you enjoy the videos!
    2
  1016. I think that is actually a dialect difference! In Britain we don't ever say math. But don't get me started on some of the things Americans say wrong ;)
    2
  1017. That could make for a good video, I'll add it to the list!
    2
  1018. I can't help it!!
    2
  1019. Ja ich weiß, und das Problem ist das fast alle sprechen Englisch hier! Ich brauche es fast gar nicht
    2
  1020. That's a pretty interesting point, but if you say that then you have to say it for every moon that is further out than any inner moons of a planet. Because it reality they all orbit around the barycentre of the system anyway!
    2
  1021.  @totalermist  Considering Mars does still has an atmosphere, I don't think it's true that it lost it in the first billion years :) Now the composition of the atmosphere, that is a different story. But if you are terraforming anyway, you can pick and choose what you want. Methane and water vapour should do the trick, and considering those are byproducts of what you want on the planet anyway, it doesn't seem too far fetched. I will grant you though that it will still be colder than Earth. Perhaps hypothetical future colonies would focus around the equator. At this point in time and with our current technology, its all just a thought experiment anyway :)
    2
  1022.  @PersonyPerson  Thanks for watching it! Yes no doubt there would have to be a lot of adaptation, and serious problems to get around. I'm curious though about what would happen in the case of Mars getting a substantially denser atmosphere, if that would produce a similar effect to what's on Venus, i.e. an induced magnetic field. Obviously it's not as good a a proper one, but it could provide a small amount of protection. I haven't really looked into that but it's a thought.
    2
  1023. Taka Smaka I do right at the end of the video :)
    2
  1024. Thank you!
    2
  1025. It's more like they will be trillions of years old, not that they currently are :)
    2
  1026. Wow you found the deleted scene, I didn't realise it made it into the subtitles. Well I'll leave it in now.
    2
  1027. My wife is Swiss, that's what she says! I found it charming too
    2
  1028. Welsh :)
    2
  1029. https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/keywords/dp?subselect=Target%3APluto%3A Enjoy! :)
    2
  1030. I would like to do more of this, yes
    2
  1031. We have
    2
  1032. Charon is Pluto's new bae
    2
  1033. I do have a Patreon :) Link on the banner of my channel page. And yes, I am making these videos by myself, that's why I only manage to get about one video a month done!
    2
  1034. Thanks, now I can't unsee. 😂
    2
  1035. Actually the Grand Finale part of the mission has been going on for the last year. I'm not expecting Cassini to actually send back many more photos in the last day or two.
    2
  1036. Thank you for the very thoughtful comment! :)
    2
  1037. Haven't really thought about that! So mayyyybe
    2
  1038. Impossible!
    2
  1039. If we are talking Earth sized planets, then the reflected light is millions of times dimmer than the star so probably not detectable. Planets have to be extremely big to be seen visually I think!
    2
  1040. We'd have colonies in the outer solar system by now...
    2
  1041. Very basically, longer exposures
    2
  1042. Thank you so much for the kind message! About Pluto not being a planet, the new definition of a planet is that is must be able to clear its orbit of debris, which it hasn't as it orbits within the Kuiper belt. That is why Ceres is also considered a dwarf planet. I think people at the IAU were just afraid they'd end up with 20+ planets if they kept the definition as it was. About donating, the only way to do it at the moment is through Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/astrumspace Thanks again! :)
    2
  1043. I'm pretty shocked about the Cathedral! I hate to see so much history and culture go up in flames 😣
    2
  1044. I should have said as wide as a football field, sorry!
    2
  1045. 1. No it doesn't sadly. The great red spot moves around the planet with the bands, the great blue spot follows the planet's rotation. 2. I don't think that it Callisto, its influence is probably too weak at its distance! :)
    2
  1046. It's pining for the fjords!
    2
  1047. Compression (audio) waves can't travel in space, but radio waves can. But Huygens went into Titan's atmosphere, where audio can be hear. It transmitted that audio recording back to Cassini. Cassini itself didn't have a mic. And that lightning recording isn't the thunder, it's more like the flash but seen in radio waves. Hope that makes sense!
    2
  1048. Thanks! I spent a lot of time trying to get the tone of this right. Glad it wasn't in vain.
    2
  1049. It's not been released yet :)
    2
  1050. It would definitely help. The problem is you can't just instantly turn off a nuclear power plant, for instance. A better solution is to have breakers in the grid itself.
    2
  1051. It was an experiment that bombed 😂 I can get a good indicator of what is working and what isn't from the first 30 mins of a video being up. I tried something very different with the thumbnail to start with to test the waters, but seeing as it was going so badly, I've gone back to my tried and tested format.
    2
  1052. Yep!
    2
  1053. They would get a heavy dose of radiation, which could lead to shortened lives. It really depends on the dosage!
    2
  1054. I don't think so.
    2
  1055. Yes.
    2
  1056. After a certain size, the impact melts the rock, filling the crater base.
    2
  1057. It's a Youtube render error. That's why the video is still unlisted, and reaching out to Youtube customer support has proven fruitless so far...
    2
  1058. Honestly, I hate it too. But that one word increases clicks by 100%. I'll try surprising though in future and see how it fares.
    2
  1059. 1 solar mass = 1047 Jupiter masses
    2
  1060. Great comment! Thanks for sharing!
    2
  1061. The coriolis effect is a lot less powerful than you think. The forces really need to be uniform for you to be able to notice it from Earth's rotation. I can just as easily make water spin around a sink in whatever direction I please, no matter the hemisphere. In this case, there were simply more balls going one way than the other.
    2
  1062. Spot on! Welshman living in Switzerland, also with some South African mixed in. A true idiolect I think!
    2
  1063. I guess they just wanted a visual representation. They just didn't make it clear it wasn't really Boötes Void. Or maybe someone started it off, then everyone else thought that was the truth and the misinformation snowballed.
    2
  1064.  @eagleeye4321  The video was uploaded 2 weeks previously, but wasn't made public until the flicker had been resolved 😊
    2
  1065. NASA already had a Dawn mission, so it's unlikely!
    2
  1066. All healthy and well here :)
    2
  1067. I did! Anytime it says "illustration", you know it's cgi, if not then there is usually text to say if it's true colour, which mission took it etc.
    2
  1068. I actually did a video about that here: https://youtu.be/uQmoSRRLv8Y
    2
  1069. She started a new channel but that has also gone. I assume she doesn't youtube anymore!
    2
  1070. Sure, it has some dodgy sci-fi moments, but compared to a lot of sci-fi, it at least attempts to be based on a possible scenario. As far as the film itself goes, I really enjoyed it. Good suspense throughout, visually very nice! Don't hate me 😁
    2
  1071. Yes they are, but to be fair to animators it's pretty hard to visual an expanding and looping 4D environment haha
    2
  1072. Wow those images are hugely impressive! Would I be alright to use some if I needed in future videos? I would credit you in the video of course. Again thanks for sharing!
    2
  1073. Good points! Thanks
    2
  1074. I don't usually respond to these comments but this literally makes no sense. That would mean half of the stars in the sky are obscurred at any one time because we all live on one side of a disk, meaning we can only see one half of the sky. As it happens, standing on one side of the world and looking at the stars, you would see one half of the sky, and someone standing on the opposite side of the world would see the other half the sky.
    2
  1075. It's quite fun to look at these videos and then compare them with Google Earth to find the same angle. That's how I found out what's in most of these videos :)
    2
  1076. Current technology, roughly 5 months :)
    2
  1077. That's because it was Stellardrone!
    2
  1078. I've already made a rough draft of it... Just going through it to make sure it's both correct and as understandable as possible (it is a really tricky concept to wrap one's head around so it's really important to get this right)
    2
  1079. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQmoSRRLv8Y Enjoy :)
    2
  1080. I have already done 3 other episodes to this series, check out the end of the video for the playlist 😊
    2
  1081. Very basically, everywhere. Don't think of the Big Bang as an explosion, but rather the universe getting bigger very quickly.
    2
  1082. No :) there will be planets, black holes, asteroids, comets, pretty much everything you find in our galaxy, as far as we know!
    2
  1083. Not with current technology I think! I've seen a concept for a mission for though which looks interesting, it involves big orbits of Jupiter, timed in a way that it passes by Io with each orbit or so. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Io_Volcano_Observer
    2
  1084. Hydrogen just binds easily to other atoms, like oxygen for example
    2
  1085. Literally 30 seconds before that I said I'd add things to the images to help you appreciate the scale 😅
    2
  1086. 1. It has been spotted from Earth based telescopes yes, nothing with the LRO in realtime though 2. I don't think they care enough about conspiracy theorists enough to do that honestly. Although once Moon colonisation gets underway, I'm sure someone will go have a look. It's quite a historical site.
    2
  1087. Stellardrone - Billions and Billions 😊 FYI, I always put that info in the description!
    2
  1088.  @ilovecannabisalot7324  Honestly you can't argue with the maths. It works out. The NEAREST star is 4 ly away, and a ly is 5,878,600,000,000 miles. You'd need to move quite a bit more before you notice star trails caused by that (and you'd also have to cancel out the trails caused by the rotation of the Earth). If you don't understand the difference between moving and rotating, try this simple experiment. Look at something far away on the horizon and take three steps parallel it to. It doesn't move much in your view right? Now turn 360 degrees on the spot. Suddenly everything is spinning around you in a blur. Similar principle.
    2
  1089. Did you do the experiment I suggested? If you don't want to try to understand the other person's point of view then why bother asking in the first place?
    2
  1090. If Pluto was still classified as a planet, then yes that would be true :)
    2
  1091. Forwards
    2
  1092. Wow, thank you so much! Will pass on the thanks to the team :-)
    2
  1093. Maybe I was saving it for another video ;)
    2
  1094. I'm staying on YT, no worries!
    2
  1095. You weren't meant to find it! Haha!
    2
  1096. The largest craters on Earth aren't really visible anymore
    2
  1097. If you are talking about the crater with the smiley face, chances are that there are some HiRISE images of it, but because it's such a big crater it wouldn't all fit into one image. The max width of a HiRISE image is 5km
    2
  1098. Ahhh thank you!
    2
  1099. I was originally going to do a video on Parker Solar Probe this time, but so little data has been released, I'll wait a while longer
    2
  1100. I'd be really surprised if we were back within 40 years. The fact we haven't been to Uranus or Neptune since the 80s is telling.
    2
  1101. We think there is millions of tons of water ice hidden from the Sun around Mercury's poles. Sadly no video on the Sun specifically... yet
    2
  1102. I heard rumour they consider it a roughly 50:50 chance as there is still only one other theory that could explain the methane they detect. Interesting, but worth waiting until it is proven!
    2
  1103. That is the rover's own parts and solar panels... They look a bit distorted because this image is a mosaic
    2
  1104. Try Meydän
    2
  1105. It's a pleasure! Iran is a seriously beautiful country but not many people have ever seen it before. I hope I gave a slight glimpse into what it has to offer other than what the media portrays.
    2
  1106. Thanks for the comment! Yes it's a bit of a balancing act trying to get that right. Hopefully I will find a better way of doing it next time! :)
    2
  1107. A blackhole going supernova is very concerning indeed, especially considering only stars do that. I think your curry beans have broken the fabric of reality sadly.
    2
  1108. There have been none in our galaxy since the 1600s. All the other ones have been in other galaxies. And none of them visible to the naked eye, except for the SN 1987a which I mentioned. I think you must have misheard because I do specifically say all of that :)
    2
  1109. It's 99% according to the variables within that particular model, but if the model is wrong... 😊
    2
  1110. THANK YOU!
    2
  1111. It's what happens when you mix Welsh, English, Swiss, American and South African! I think it's a true idiolect :)
    2
  1112. She's doing great thanks! 😊
    2
  1113. I think it's because light here is not travelling across a 2D plain, but rather a 3D object
    2
  1114. Thanks so much for supporting the channel, we're extremely grateful, and so happy to hear you love our videos! Thanks to your support, we can continue producing more!
    2
  1115. Just always had an interest in it from when I was very small. The good news is you don't need to have a degree to be an amateur astronomer! Go read books, look up Wikipedia (it can be quite the rabbit hole), see if you have a local astronomer group in your town. Enjoy!
    2
  1116. Yes but you can also only upgrade a PC so much. Hubble's problem is the mirror, it's too small compared to a lot of new telescopes. Even Earth based telescopes are now at Hubble's level due to their bigger mirrors and improved technology
    2
  1117. The font I use for my videos doesn't like them unfortunately 😅
    2
  1118. They do check to see if it could fit a known artifical object's orbit. But if it was a spy satellite, they probably wouldn't know because that isn't meant to be public knowledge!
    2
  1119. Good to know for future! Thanks!
    2
  1120. Not all stars age the same way, depends on the mass. Some have very short life spans, some have very long life spans.
    2
  1121. That would be good for this series! Thanks!
    2
  1122. Yes, to the stationary person 40 years passes. But you don't age at all, it only seems like an instant.
    2
  1123. I imagine it's just the way the lava solidified!
    2
  1124. Sorry Clay! The video wasn't performing so well.
    2
  1125. I made a video on that! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GeapdGbGEc
    2
  1126. Not I!
    2
  1127. Check out my supercut playlist, it's just what you are looking for
    2
  1128. It's in the next episode! :)
    2
  1129. I don't think ESA doesn't have access to the isotope that NASA used, and even NASA's in in short supply. Basically it is a by-product of weaponised plutonium, and they haven't been making that for a while, although I hear rumour they are looking to make more now.
    2
  1130. Definitely!
    2
  1131. Wales! But I've lived everywhere so I have quite a corrupted accent 😁
    2
  1132. You are right. We are just crossing paths with the cloud right now. Interestingly, we don't really know where we formed. The nebula we came from almost certainly doesn't exist anymore, because they only last several million years in all.
    2
  1133. Clouds have their place too... Personally I find they can produce some spectacular sights, especially at sunset/rise :)
    2
  1134. I'll have a look and see if it can be made into a viable video :)
    2
  1135. It does look like it, but I think it is actually more clay like in the later photos
    2
  1136. Very much!
    2
  1137. Look at the width of the storm. I would say that takes about a quarter of the planet's diameter?
    2
  1138. In two weeks time :)
    2
  1139. The ionosphere around Earth contain most radio waves we transmit, in fact that's how radio waves can travel around the Earth even though the curvature should block it!
    2
  1140. Haha I didn't know that! Thank you ^^
    2
  1141. It was made for this video by a friend of mine. I'm sure she would sell a print. Send her a message here https://www.facebook.com/mrs.kayros.art/ :)
    2
  1142. Playlist at the end of the video :)
    2
  1143. That would be Uranus :)
    2
  1144. Glad you like it :)
    2
  1145. That might be because these discoveries were made 13-14 years ago ^^
    2
  1146. But that's what I tried to describe, the misconception is that the universe started from a single point, which isn't what the Big Bang theory is. The universe always was the universe, it was just very small in the past. So it didn't originate from a "point", rather the universe itself (as far as we can predict) has simply gotten bigger. That line I mentioned about it being the expansion of the coordinate system itself. Case in point, it would be a massive coincidence if we were the centre of the universe, and yet everything is expanding away from us. How can that be unless either we were the centre of the universe, or everything is expanding away fron everything? And it it's the latter, the universe can't be spherical in the 3 dimensional definition of the word.
    2
  1147. I will one day!
    2
  1148. Yes to all of them!
    2
  1149. Could be the YT player struggling with the 4K option. If you decrease the quality, is the missing frame still there?
    2
  1150. My initial thoughts are that it would be far less stable. If it actually acts like a gas, the interactions with the particles would mean it would disperse very quickly, gas always tries to fill the volume. But I might have a look into this further at some point 😊
    2
  1151. Only *large moon. Lots of smaller moons do :)
    2
  1152. Yes we have! Many times! Not super close ups of the actual event, but there are some before and after shots from the LRO
    2
  1153. Depends what dark matter is I suppose! Not impossible that it could exist anyway.
    2
  1154. The full images are very odd ratios, 4000x60000 for instance. Not great for video. Also Premiere won't take anything above 250 megapixels, which means the images have to be cut in half anyway. The full images are all available on the HiRise website, if you want to look in greater detail, I would highly recommend checking it out!
    2
  1155. I think they aren't always consistent with their colour schemes annoyingly...
    2
  1156. I've done one with Scott already!
    2
  1157. Apparently its due to the position relative to the geosynchronous orbit. Below GEO, objects will spiral inwards, above GEO they will move away. Only found that out making this video! :)
    2
  1158. The biggest "super-earths" they talk about are slightly smaller than Neptune... However they really don't have enough data on this yet so it could be a while before we have a more precise definition
    2
  1159. Proof?
    2
  1160. Stellardrone - Billions and Billions :)
    2
  1161. It would be very awesome! I just hope the next one will be close (at a safe distance), and not on the other side of the galaxy!
    2
  1162. I actually already turned off half the ad breaks YT originally put in
    2
  1163. Hi! The moon orbits the Earth, which ISN'T tidally locked to the Sun, so the moon's orbit won't decay. But if there was a moon orbiting the moon, which IS tidally locked to the Earth, then it's orbit will decay. I hope that makes sense! :)
    2
  1164. Even tiny particles have gravitational pull. All combined, it adds up. Total mass of nebula can be greater than thousands of Suns
    2
  1165. CGI. Look for the label in the top right of my videos in you are unsure if an image is real or not, I always mark it :)
    2
  1166. Let me guess, someone stole your sweetroll?
    2
  1167. I tried... ^^
    2
  1168. There is, just like there's a day side of the moon. It just changes throughout the month. I'm not talking about the far side of the moon 😉
    2
  1169. Which is where the Great Attractor resides. Look at 2:47 which is Lanekia, and you'll see Norma in the middle. That's the Great Attractor
    2
  1170. The CPU is quite hardened yes, so only the CPU to a certain degree. It's more the scientific instruments which take a beating. This includes the camera. Having said that, it looks like Juno might be able to survive longer than initially thought, which is good.
    2
  1171. Wow thanks for sharing that, I knew Gaia was impressive but didn't realise it was such a beast. It's probably worthy of its own video at some point
    2
  1172.  @pipertripp  I am familiar with Gaia data as every so often I go on Zooniverse and their Planet 9 Hunter thingy. I find it pretty fun tbh, my wife can't see why haha
    2
  1173. The speed it hit would have vapourised it on impact
    2
  1174. If you go on my channel and look at my recent videos, look for the one with "contact" on the thumbnail
    2
  1175.  @anubhavsrivastava1471  you're welcome!
    2
  1176. One of the cards of this video is all about the colour of nebulae :)
    2
  1177. I wish!
    2
  1178. Ryan you are correct. Turtle, you would have to rotate the star system :)
    2
  1179. Yes, and how hard to detect objects out there are. There could be objects there, we just haven't detected them yet
    2
  1180. However mamy light years away it is, that's how far back in time you are seeing, because that's how long it takes for the light from that event to reach us
    2
  1181. No, first. I didn't touch anything from the previous supercut.
    2
  1182. I've already done a whole video on just that one image in fact :)
    2
  1183. I'll add that to the list!
    2
  1184. I know what you mean, it feels like it only just flew by Pluto...
    2
  1185. It's feasible! We know already, for example, that meteorites from Mars can end up on Earth! We even have a few in museums around the world.
    2
  1186. Hmm I couldn't find the original quote, some websites said what I wrote and other said what you wrote. But you are probably right! Thanks for pointing that out!
    2
  1187. Great job :)
    2
  1188. This is episode 11 of my Hubble images series :)
    2
  1189.  @TWOCOWS1  I disagree they are outmoded, but you are right about the future being a telescope on the moon. Having a telescope of that size on the moon would produce astounding data! I hope I live to see the day!
    2
  1190. I'll check that out!
    2
  1191. No! Stock video haha
    2
  1192. I don't think I've ever had a comment in the form of a poem before, thank you! 😅
    2
  1193. Yeh if you hate red, Mars is not the planet for you!
    2
  1194. The images with Cassini in them are CGI, used simply for demonstration purposes. All the still images are real images. Hope this helps :)
    2
  1195. https://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/galleries/raw-images?order=earth_date+desc&per_page=50&page=0 go nuts :)
    2
  1196. Coming next week! :D
    2
  1197. Dust in the atmosphere
    2
  1198. The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) based on its spectral class. As such, it is informally referred to as a yellow dwarf.
    2
  1199. That would be Ceres!
    2
  1200. I loved it! Watched it in IMAX though, worth watching on a big screen
    2
  1201. That's the newer rover :)
    2
  1202. A sphere is a 3D object, so if there is no space then there can be no 3D object
    2
  1203. The red is what I referred to as tholins :)
    2
  1204. I think a prior fatal launch failure prevented NASA's mission from taking off because they grounded all missions around that time
    2
  1205. Wow it looks amazing!
    2
  1206. Yes! Good spot!
    2
  1207. It's an idiolect! :)
    2
  1208. I hadn't considered that, I'll look into it :)
    2
  1209. Longer exposures, wide aperture camera :)
    2
  1210. Maybe facing away from the Sun, and lights off in the cabin. I don't know though, but I'd imagine so :)
    2
  1211. I'm guessing this may be more of a niche question haha
    2
  1212. It's actually a dialect thing, much to the amusement of my American viewers! In the UK it's pronounced how I say it, and I don't want to mention that we had the language first ;) haha!
    2
  1213. The feet would be adapted for Martian soil in mind, for sure.
    2
  1214.  @Ribbonius  Exactly! It's all in the public domain. You could give it a shot too if you wanted!
    2
  1215. Two!
    2
  1216. It was sadly going too fast for Pluto's gravity to capture it in orbit
    2
  1217. True. I will get on that. Expect one in two videos time.
    2
  1218. About my mention of the Atlas V rocket being the most powerful, the NASA film I watched described it as "America's biggest, baddest rocket, tricked out with every conceivable booster". I may have misinterpreted that. Apologies!
    2
  1219. You would think so but this system is probably older than our own! I think they have have balance with some odd orbital resonances.
    2
  1220. It could be! But then I wonder why we don't see that with larger craters?
    2
  1221. I live and learn!
    2
  1222. Stellardrone - Eternity :) In future you can check the description.
    2
  1223. Anima - The Beating Sun :)
    2
  1224. Large impacts were so energetic that it melted the rock, which pooled, then cooled at the bottom of the crater. That's why there's a sharp cutoff from the basin and the walls, the floor was liquid for a time
    2
  1225. You are well informed! :)
    2
  1226. Could also be two white dwarves colliding. That would be hard to detect until it happens.
    2
  1227. No enough sunlight. The rover would die after its first year. They have done missions to the poles in the past though, I believe Phoenix was one
    2
  1228. Propulsion is different from power sadly!
    2
  1229. Technically yes, practically no
    2
  1230. About my mention of the Atlas V rocket being the most powerful, the NASA film I watched described it as "America's biggest, baddest rocket, tricked out with every conceivable booster". I may have misinterpreted that. Apologies!
    2
  1231. It means star in latin :)
    2
  1232. She isn't doing it anymore it seems!
    2
  1233. Im very tempted!
    2
  1234. Well, considering this was a European mission, your assumption was right! :P
    2
  1235. Ah apologies! I'll put it in the description
    2
  1236. Mercury has a 3:2 spin orbit ratio. Not quite tidally locked!
    2
  1237. We are still working out the kinks with audio, we tried something new the episode. I'm hoping we will improve as we go! Thanks for the feedback though! :)
    2
  1238. I accept apologies in up votes
    2
  1239. Very basically, gravity is a more powerful force in close proximities. But it's a very interesting subject and I recommend researching about it further!
    2
  1240. My wife demands that accolade ;) haha! Although she knows the competition she's up against, don't worry!
    2
  1241. It has in fact taken photos of stars. So either you guessed that or your source of information is wrong.
    2
  1242. Not snow per se, but carbon dioxide from the atmosphere can freeze on the surface like water frost on Earth
    2
  1243. It's a composite photo as explained in the video. That means they took a few photos and stitched them together.
    2
  1244. Thank you!
    2
  1245. Yes, it wasn't apparent to me that they were hard to distinguish when I made this. But then I was looking at it with the eye of a filmmaker and a space enthusiast, which I took for granted. I have since made an effort to mention if I switch between CGI and real imagery in more recent videos.
    2
  1246. I'm actually working on the last episode right now! Sadly my harddrive died and a lot of my Opportunity stuff was on it so I had to try and find a lot of it again. Not an easy task!
    2
  1247. Thank you! Great name 😉
    2
  1248. They are planes :) This time lapse is actually from the cockpit of a commercial airliner!
    2
  1249. CGI :)
    2
  1250. It's called Space Engine. It's an amazing piece of free software, I highly recommend checking it out! http://spaceengine.org/
    2
  1251. There is always a night side of the moon... It changes but there is one.
    2
  1252. Here's a quote from the video for you: "From these accumulated samples, scientists were able to make an unexpected discovery. These were not sedimentary rocks, as had first been anticipated. Instead, Perseverance had discovered the igneous rock, Olivine. Olivine is a type of rock that can actually be found here on Earth, for instance in parts of Australia. Unlike sedimentary rocks, which are made by particles of sand and other detritus slowly accumulating on top of each other over time, an igneous rock like Olivine is formed by the cooling of magma. As such, it seems that at one time or another Jezero crater must have been witness to some volcanic activity. While this might initially seem to be bad news - you might rightly conclude that not much life could be found in magma - scientists could discern signs of water erosion on the rocks. The ridges at the ends of the crater showed signs of water motion. Whatever volcanic activity had happened here, the water that created Jezero’s delta must have come after it had already cooled. As such, the presence of igneous rock was actually good news. Igneous rock is usually very high in minerals – this is why the areas around volcanoes are so fertile. The presence of water and high mineral count rocks would have been perfect conditions for life."
    2
  1253. Of course! 😊
    2
  1254. While you are right, we always use mass as weight. Do you know anyone who weighs themselves in newtons? 😅
    2
  1255. There is a chance, but it's extremely small. Objects in the Oort cloud are so spead out
    2
  1256. Truth! I don't know how that slipped my notice. Good job!
    2
  1257. I only do that for the longer videos these days :)
    2
  1258. Don't worry I'm a sucker for praise ;) haha thank you so much!
    2
  1259. Thanks for mentioning, YouTube seems to have deleted my subtitles. I'm syncing them again now.
    2
  1260. Most craters on Mars are unnamed unfortunately, but here's the link: https://www.uahirise.org/ESP_023825_1855 enjoy!
    2
  1261. Wow hello! Back when I was still under 1000 subs still I think? Cool to see you around :)
    2
  1262. Ho ho ho 😝
    2
  1263. Wow thank you so much Jeff!!!
    2
  1264. Sadly, it seems like not many people find Enceladus interesting right now, no matter how I angle it -_-
    2
  1265. I would say global warming. Kessler Syndrome wouldn't particularly impact me if it ever occurred. More a problem for companies/space agencies that have something up there.
    2
  1266. That is a very deep question!
    2
  1267. Check out my New Horizon's video, it talks quite a lot about Pluto! :)
    2
  1268. It is visible from Earth, although it appears like a milky patch in the sky. You just need a clear, dark night in the countryside. Considering our own galaxy isn't exactly clear to the naked eye, it's going to have to be on top of us before you can see clear details with your naked eye!
    2
  1269. Maybe a cosmic ray would be my guess
    2
  1270. But I wasn't necessarily talking about the far side, just the night side :)
    2
  1271. This video is a good representation of how the images were taken https://youtu.be/sZC4u0clEc0
    2
  1272. Thank you! But I'm sure you spamming my channel places certainly helped me get there 😅
    2
  1273. I'd imagine very big... and remember this happens over hundreds of thousands to millions of years, so even if it did trigger star formation, you likely wouldn't see the end result :)
    2
  1274. The ejecta might not be distributed evenly but I'm pretty sure high velocity impacts always end up roughly circular https://youtu.be/nbkkMKkjx6k Unless you have some examples I'm actually thinking about making a video about this in the future so if you know of outliers that would be interesting!
    2
  1275. The adjustable mirrors should help with that issue I'm hoping!
    2
  1276. Images are going to be the crux of the series, this first episode was written as an intro and to give context to the mission :)
    2
  1277. Yes sunlight can light up Pluto, the surface of Pluto at noon appears like dusk on Earth
    2
  1278. It is now. That animation was when it first arrived
    2
  1279. Wow 😂 brb renaming all my videos to language names
    2
  1280. I think that must have been a poorly translated community submission...
    2
  1281. Notice the CGI tag in the top right of the frame
    2
  1282. The Sun isn't burning as in combusting, it is hot through nuclear fission, which doesn't need oxygen, rather it only needs hydrogen.
    2
  1283. Imagine this image is take with the greatest zoom camera we possess. If you look at the initial image, you'll see it's all in focus, the flower, the building, the trees. But the flower has less pixels than the building, that's why it looks blurry, not because it's out of focus. And that is the issue.
    2
  1284. Wise decision!
    2
  1285. Thanks for the lovely comment, I really appreciate it
    2
  1286. It could be, but the shape of the universe that we can see doesn't show this
    2
  1287. What colour would you say the moon is? Regardless, when bandwidth is at a premium, you have to chose between colour images and lower resolution images or black and white and higher resolution images.
    2
  1288. I'm finishing uni in May, and after that, I will be :)
    2
  1289. I must admit I didn't know about these! But I will definitely check them out :)
    2
  1290. I can't be sure everywhere in space favours clockwise. Depends what other planetary systems consider north and south. On Earth, clockwise or anticlockwise can depend on external factors, like the Coriolis effect.
    2
  1291. From that POV, no they can't be seen. But they also have imaged it with telescopic lenses, and yes it can then.
    2
  1292. Exactly!
    2
  1293. If I can, I will!
    2
  1294. Man I have corrected that typo before, and it's come back! Adobe must be playing tricks on me. Thanks for the heads up!
    2
  1295. Your name is on the list!
    2
  1296. Yes there is air! Just quite thin compared to Earth.
    2
  1297. I'm not sure you really would! Haha!
    2
  1298. There is still time to change ;)
    2
  1299. All the outgassing causes it to have a 'coma' which is basically it's atmosphere. Not very much like our atmosphere though I will say :)
    2
  1300. You were signing up for Brilliant before you noticed you mean? ;)
    2
  1301. Thank you!
    2
  1302. I'm sorry! Patreon only tells me who has paid and I add those names to the list. If in future you encounter problems, I'm more than happy to keep your name on the list if you let me know of the issue in advance.
    2
  1303. My next video is actually exactly about this haha! Stay tuned :)
    2
  1304. If I upload at 60fps, YouTube doesn't do a 30fps option sadly unless you pick 480p. I do 60fps because of the pans across images that I do, it's much less jarring at 60fps. Sorry to hear it's affecting you though!
    2
  1305. I think they based it off Cook's ship as you mentioned. A voyage of discovery. For them it is almost the same, so a fitting tribute!
    2
  1306. 😅
    2
  1307. I'll try the binoculars method, as long as it's not cloudy! It's not looking promising where I am to be honest
    2
  1308. It's mainly hydrogen, but lots of other particles too, including dust
    2
  1309. http://www.astro.ex.ac.uk/people/mbate/Animations/ for the animations!
    2
  1310. That is a good one actually!
    2
  1311. The clays do seem to indicate it was once part of a much bigger body, yes
    2
  1312. Thank you! :)
    2
  1313. I just finished university in filmmaking :)
    2
  1314. Sorry 😅
    2
  1315. Probably better than Hubble, but still not great.
    2
  1316. But also extremely efficient 😁
    2
  1317. I was thinking about remaking these, I really wish I had made them 60fps. Sadly they didn't get many views. We'll see in the future though :)
    2
  1318. Thank you! Every little helps
    2
  1319. Man I watched the BBC live episode in the research for this video, it was so interesting!
    2
  1320. Just curiosity got the better of me :)
    2
  1321. Oh my goodness, can't resist a Father Ted reference 😁
    2
  1322. Yeh that was my bad sadly haha
    2
  1323. oooooo
    2
  1324. That could be a good take. I'll consider that for next time!
    2
  1325. I did try and make this vid headphone friendly, I edited the whole thing with headphones on myself to make sure it was bearable. Really sorry! 😅
    2
  1326. My actual worry is that the US government pulls the plug on it before it even launches... I'd be devastated!
    2
  1327. It's about the volatile substances on its surface. Comets have lots - hence the coma and tail. Asteroids are really dry. Meteors are particles or bigger that enter Earth's atmosphere :)
    2
  1328. Well the blurry photo of the flower isn't blurry because it is out of focus, look at the zoomed out view and you can see it is in focus. It's blurry because at that size, there's less pixels to distinguish details. The building on the other hand, even though its far away, is massive, so even at this distance there are plenty of pixels to see detail. Same applies to Pluto and the galaxies. Hubble simply can't zoom in enough, at its max zoom Pluto is only a few pixels across. Hope that clarifies it a bit!
    2
  1329. Well on the surface of the moon it's stilla vacuum. People can disagree, but that doesn't change the fact. Maybe they are confusing an exosphere with an atmosphere, because the moon does have an exosphere. An exosphere is where there are particles floating around but they could never act like a gas because they are too dispersed. We are talking just only several particles per cm3.
    2
  1330. Thanks!!
    2
  1331. What causes it to light up? I can't imagine it's actually an explosion, it must hit with some force if it heats up everything enough to produce visible light!
    2
  1332. Usually I do, depends on if the source images are high enough resolution or not 😊
    2
  1333. I guess you didn't watch beyond the first 2 seconds...
    2
  1334. ...can I see it?
    2
  1335. Awwww dang it. Thanks for pointing it out.
    2
  1336. That is a big compliment. Thank you!
    2
  1337. Probably more like millions of years, but yes they will eventually fall back into the planet
    2
  1338. A star is defined as an object big enough that nuclear fusion takes place in the core, so no. A brown dwarf, or a 'failed star' is somewhat similar though!
    2
  1339. Such a cool thought!
    2
  1340. I can't remember exactly where I was, but somewhere on my way to Bloemfontein.
    2
  1341. Makes for a good band name too!
    2
  1342. Sadly it's in the source video!
    2
  1343. https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/Klendagon :)
    2
  1344. 1cm per second!
    2
  1345. You are exactly right! I just didn't want to add that to the video to avoid confusion :)
    2
  1346. My favourite song from it!
    2
  1347. It's all about north and south 🙃 they'd all be going counter clockwise if we viewed them from the appropriate side
    2
  1348. It's actually about the technological advancements of telescopes in the 60s. Before then, we wouldn't have had anything powerful enough to see other galaxies because they would have been too small and dim at that distance.
    2
  1349.  @Cryptonomous  Well, I can't say I believe that, but it's an interesting idea and thanks for sharing!
    2
  1350. But why male models?
    2
  1351. I imagine it's built to a much higher standard, plus less atmosphere so less drag
    2
  1352. I haven't made it yet... but I will in the new year!
    2
  1353. This isn't religion based, and I never claimed this to be fact, in fact I emphasized that it as a theory. Perhaps you didn't watch the video before making the comment.
    2
  1354.  @facitenonvictimarum  I'm going to assume you won't be needlessly provocative if I give you my actual thoughts on the matter. We don't know the Big Bang happened the way the theory suggests, because we can't see beyond this 350,000 years 'after the event' wall. Does that mean I think we should throw up our hands in the air and say we should give up? No, I don't. Let's say God exists, I think he would have given us such inquiring minds to better understand the universe we live in. If anything, God should be the ultimate scientist because he understands the laws of the universe perfectly, and can manipulate it to his whim - kind of thing. This is why I can't grasp these science verses religion debates, surely true science and true religion should go hand in hand, complimenting each other rather than pulling the other down. And it's not a new phenomenon, for most of history religion has tried to roadblock science, and now science tries to roadblock religion, and look where it gets people. Both sides end up being wrong - because like I said in another comment - science cannot disprove religion and religion cannot disprove science. You wouldn't apply the scientific method to religion, and you wouldn't apply faith to science (which you seem to be suggesting I do). Those methods are incompatible with the different fields. So do I think we should be halting our endeavour to better understand to universe with the tools we possess? No. Do I think science disproves religion? No. I believe they go hand in hand.
    2
  1355. Wow, this is high praise indeed!!
    2
  1356. Earth
    2
  1357. What specifically? :)
    2
  1358. Conspiracy theories aside, that certainly is the most Scottish name I've ever seen. Clan Colgan representing over here!
    2
  1359. I haven't been tempted yet... but if that's where the money is... ;)
    2
  1360. Actually, I'm Welsh :) My accent is pretty corrupted though as I've lived in lots of different countries!
    2
  1361. This was a very early video, I now know 😅
    2
  1362. Honestly it's such an impressive piece of software
    2
  1363. Thank you! From this model, if there is a planet that orbits the opposite direction to the others, chances are that it would be a captured planet from another solar system, rather than one that formed alongside the rest
    2
  1364. No I'll save that for my spinoff channel
    2
  1365. Here is fine!
    2
  1366. Bridgend! :)
    2
  1367. Thank you!! I appreciate it!
    2
  1368. I know what you mean, but this is representative of what's in the image. If the image is busy, there are more sounds, if it's empty, less sounds. A big star makes a bigger ding than a star that's barely visible. But what's artificial is the sounds themselves. That's why the first images sound different from the pillars of creation, a different set of sounds was used.
    2
  1369. We weren't getting very many views... I might try again at some point :)
    2
  1370. Hey thanks for the comment! The boulders are held together by gravity, but the probe can't go in orbit around it because the gravity is so weak, its escape velocity is only a couple of meters a second which means a powerful jump would be enough to float off into space. the boulders aren't exerting any force so they stay together. Hope that makes sense!
    2
  1371. We don't really know how well we'd adapt to higher gravities, but even a little bit higher wouldn't be a comfortable experience
    2
  1372. Aw dang it oops! Good spot.
    2
  1373. Haha oh dear that was a clumsy mistake by me! Thanks I won't forget that again 😅
    2
  1374. Now you've said it I won't be able to unsee it! But yes the Carina Nebula is awesome. It's got so many interesting bits to it.
    2
  1375. TIL! Thanks!
    2
  1376. It's because it massless, it is pure energy.
    2
  1377. Renegade Fighter Well if you consider two-three hundred years ago - people were taking months on a ship to go halfway across the world - think about how fast it can be done now. I can only imagine it'll become more feasible and quick to get to Mars and other places as time goes on!

  1378. cellofingers Thank you very much!!

  1379. Gamers House There's definitely other planets around other stars. Just because we don't have HD photos of them don't mean they don't exist! There's actually plenty of proof. Chances aren't too good that we will see them in our lifetime though sadly, but the good news is there is still so much to be discovered in our own solar system!

  1380. Andre de Araujo Thank you!!!

  1381. Michal Zdunek I will! Thank you very much!

  1382. Thanks I appreciate it!

  1383. I think there is a confirmed planet orbiting very closely to one of the stars. No chance of life on it though!
    1
  1384. Exactly. I think chances are there are more planets, but the plane of their solar system has to be aligned right for us to find anything with our current technology. Maybe when the James Webb telescope is launched, we'll be able to find more as that telescope will be powerful enough to resolve planets around a star. Probably not more than a pixel or two but still!
    1
  1385. Interesting new discovery! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-37167390
    1
  1386. We don't know for sure! I may do a video on it at some point.
    1
  1387. How can you tell the difference?
    1
  1388. I've looked and I'm far from convinced. To prove I've looked, I even made a video about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTSXGyGhrPo (sorry if you're not a flat earther, I assume you are).
    1
  1389. Toraperse Hey great question. I haven't heard that theory of Saturn being an ex-star before, I must say. It is very far-fetched though as it wouldn't fit with our current models of stars at all, but it's not to say it's completely impossible. Lots of celestial objects heat from the inside out, including considerably smaller moons like Enceladus. In the case of Saturn, the accepted theory is gravitational cmpression, where as the planet shrinks it heats up. It also could be through friction of helium rain. As I mentioned in the video though, we can't be sure as we are viewing this planet from the outside!
    1
  1390. I don't really know where you got 1937 from, because it would have been visible since the dawn of mankind. In the 1600s, it was even discovered to be a binary star system. They are so close together that they look like a single star when looking at it in the sky. 1915 was when Proxima was discovered, as it's not really visible with the naked eye, and very far away from A and B. Astronomers haven't confirmed if Proxima is part of the system yet or not, but it is looking like it is. Hope this helps! :)

  1394. richie matney I do plan on that. I've already done Mars, Saturn and Mercury. Check them out!
    1
  1395. Dan Djurdjevic You're welcome! And thank you!!
    1
  1396. As far as I'm aware, there are no moons of moons. There is a moon of an asteroid though! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/243_Ida
    1
  1397. Well I was covering things that had only just been discovered, Io's impact on Jupiter is not new. Although I don't think it is Io that affects those magnetic hotspots, they are around the mid latitudes while Io's influence is deflected to the poles by the magnetic field. Chances are it is the metallic hydrogen layer that creates a non-uniform magnetic field.

  1399. Nope, really Switzerland!
    1
  1400. The calculations are very complicated, I couldn't do them!! But they don't just measure the brightest, they see what type of star it is too. Sirius is a blue giant compared to Alpha Centauri, which is similar to our Sun. This means Sirius will be shorter lived but is vastly brighter. As there are both binary star systems, they also take into account the orbits of the stars. Although you are right, we can't say for certain how far away these stars are just based on this!
    1
  1401. +Kecia Cotton I have in fact made a Venus video too! :)
    1
  1402. Oh man some of these comments... Mars is very desolate. If there is life on Mars, it's doing a very good job in hiding.
    1
  1403. stabg289 I may do a video on the solar system's actual orbits soon. Would be very cool to visualise, as yes all the planets have their own barycentre's to the Sun, which means compared to a fixed point in space, it is actually very wobbly.
    1
  1404. They actually all have irregular moons :)
    1
  1405. +TheMisterMotU The same reason as the planet itself being red, dust particles containing iron oxide!
    1
  1406. +Jazz For Hire Thanks for the suggestions! I will see if I can do any of them sometime.
    1
  1407. +Francesco DiGati No. We can't say exactly what Mars would've been like, but the difference in gravity and distance from the Sun is already enough of a difference to make Earth and Mars distinct. There may have been liquid water on the surface when the atmosphere was thicker, but really hard to say if there were trees etc. as there is no proof of that. Maybe we will find out at some point in the future!
    1
  1408. Ana Patricia Aranda I will try!
    1
  1409. Kari Roletter I hope they like it too! :)
    1
  1410. Dan Heidel Hey thanks for the info! I didn't know about the first point I must admit, but I think the point about it deflecting most of the solar wind is still true, right? Still, it would serve me better to actually research more about it in future, so thanks for the tip!On the second one, I did know this, that's why I was careful to mention it as the barycentre of the Sun - Jupiter system. I thought trying to explain the barycentre of the solar system was too complicated for this 10 minute video!
    1
  1411. Hey how's it going! I was hoping you'd see this :) Jupiter will probably be next. Expect that in the new year. Also because a lot of the Jupiter images we see were actually taken by the Cassini probe on its way to Saturn, I'm hoping to make that 4K too ;)
    1
  1412. MünRaker They're not 4K but I will no doubt still use a lot of the images it took. It was launched in 1989 and any images that are HD are usually mosaics. Juno does have a visible light camera but it won't get there until 2016 sadly. I am going to be waiting a while until I do the Pluto video though, New Horizons while be arriving in 2015! :)

  1418. Andy Smith Well I wasn't going to show the scottish side, was I? ;) I'm half Irish!
    1
  1419. Haha well giant's causeway stretches from Ireland to Scotland. I could have shown pictures of the Scottish side but because of being half Irish, I'm biased to show the Irish side!

  1430. +Terry R. Pluto is very much on my list, I've just been waiting for the images/data to trickle back to Earth so I can do a more in depth video. Sometime soon though! And about the orbiter, the problem for them was they wanted to get to Pluto ASAP, which mean they were going too fast to be able to be captured by Pluto's gravity. An orbiter would be amazing, but we won't see that for decades I'd imagine.
    1
  1431. Elchanan Birnbaum Great to hear! Thanks so much!
    1
  1432. SuprXer0 I'm glad! Thank you for watching!!
    1
  1433. To be honest, I might do a video on it. There is a surprising number of comments across a lot of my videos saying what this guy is saying.
    1
  1434. That is awesome to hear! Thank you!
    1
  1435. skylilly1 I could do definitely! There is a lot of really high res images of things found in the Milky Way so it could make a good video. Thanks for the suggestion!
    1
  1436. Too rad to be sad Yes! http://www.exploratorium.edu/ronh/solar_system/
    1
  1437. If it was to crash, that would be it! Nothing else that could be done really. I think the chances of that are quite small though :)
    1
  1438. They are enhanced versions of real photos :)
    1
  1439. Tell me about it! I can't believe how many people think we can't get images of planets?! Just look at Jupiter with a powerful enough telescope from Earth and you will see the patterns on it. I don't see how that can be faked.
    1
  1440. Kevin Pettigrew Hey no worries! I didn't even know about the third one until making this video :)
    1
  1441. Sound waves don't travel in space, but light waves do, and the radio signal is a form of light wave. You can see the Sun, stars, Moon etc so this shows light can travel in a vacuum. And yes you're right, there is a transmission delay due to the distance!
    1
  1442. ***** Thanks for watching! :)
    1
  1443. Most likely at some point!
    1
  1444. tas sen Hey thanks for the comment! There's actually a few issues with just planting crops or vegetation on Mars. It can get really cold on Mars. The atmospheric pressure is very very low. Because of this, water evaporates very quickly. Water kind of misses the liquid stage on Mars, either being found in ice or gas. Also, because of the lack of a magnetosphere around Mars, it loses particules in its atmosphere very fast. We'd have to be pumping a LOT of gas into the atmosphere to increase the atmospheric pressure. Definitely in the short term, we'd be looking at growing plants in enclosed greenhouses. I think NASA might also be trying not to contaminate Mars with terrestrial organisms so anything right now will be done in a greenhouse.
    1
  1445. Lance Winslow Hey thanks for your feedback! Much appreciated!

  1448. mOnX2006 I'm actually looking to do nebulas soonish!
    1
  1449. +Casper Ghost Probably pump a lot of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere to create a greenhouse effect. Terraforming will take hundreds of years though most likely, so not something we will ever see in our lifetime!
    1
  1450. That is actually the shadow of one of Jupiter's moons! Good spot.
    1
  1451. No...
    1
  1452. Chukwuebuka Bakwenye Exactly! Their gravity definitely does have an influence on that momentum too, look how they slingshot around each other when they get close.
    1
  1453. I never claimed it wasn't an obvious list! :)

  1454. Agna Rudolph Would you say the music is too overpowering? This was my second video for this channel so I was still a bit new to it but I'm always looking out for suggestions. Thanks!

  1462. gilbert de la torre Most of the images you see were actual photos taken by NASA rovers or orbiters!
    1
  1463. Ignazio Avulso Thank you!!
    1
  1464. Du Duu Hi thanks for the question! When we are comparing mountains in the solar system, we do measure from the moutains base, not from the sea level. Even then, Rheasilvia and Olympus Mons are still way biggest than Mauna Kea. From its base, Mauna Kea rises 10km, and Olympus Mons and Rheasilvia are over 20km from its base. The thing that makes it really unfair is the gravity on Earth is much higher than on Vesta and Mars, so to have a mountain that big on Earth really is impossible.
    1
  1465. If you think of Planet X as the planet that's going to come to wipe out Earth, then no. But there could easily be a undiscovered ninth planet!
    1
  1466. Mount Everest Oops I did neglect to mention that in the description, good spot. It's Anima - Spirit of the Valley (feat. M-PeX).

    1
  1469. +Brandon Allshouse Close, but actually Switzerland! :)
    1
  1470. Actually no need to fret, Switzerland has a lot of open countryside for animals. Right behind my house there is a forest. Switzerland even has bears and wolves in some parts of the country. And yes I am able to see the Milky Way where I live, it's very dark at night as it's a village and high up.

  1475. kamizak2 Mars does get fresh craters from time to time, but the chances of something hitting a colony are pretty slim... although not impossible!
    1
  1476. Mount Everest Good point! I do have another video that talks about the distances.
    1

    1
  1478. Yep!
    1
  1479. It means the data sent from Juno has been enhanced to see the details, and maybe also for artistic purposes. If you're interested, the originals can be found here https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam/processing?source=junocam&ob_from=&ob_to=&perpage=100

  1480. Well... you are looking at them through a 2D screen...
    1
  1481. Milan Zivic Of course you can! Show it to whoever you want! :)
    1
  1482. Say What best criticism so far xD
    1
  1483. It's because the whole timelapse is made up of only a handful of images. Juno doesn't stream video sadly, it doesn't have the bandwidth for it. Also, this only takes place over the space of a couple of hours so while there are some differences between the pics, it's harder to see on the timelapse, easier if you get the original images and compare them side by side.
    1
  1484. derGriffith You definitely will! I've already done Saturn and Mercury. Check them out! :)
    1
  1485. Thanks for the heads up! I only have limited sound systems to test the audio on so good to know.

  1487. Either works. It's just people can't stop laughing at the first one...
    1
  1488. +1100HondaCB I hadn't, just looked it up though. The wiki article was a bit too advanced for me though, is it saying something can't be resolved from a certain distance? I would have thought if the exposure was long enough and the telescope powerful enough, it could see lights? Like Hubble being able to pick far away galaxies?

    1
  1516. ***** Hey! did you get my message?
    1
  1517. +Easyrider 1 Yeh I agree with you in many ways there. There's no way under current technologies that we could get to these other star systems. I think the reason they want to though is because there's no really a good substitute for Earth in this solar system. Mars' gravity is too weak and no magnetosphere. Venus' temperature is 450c. Everything else is too big or too small or something. So yes, until technological changes come, we should definitely try and fix the problems we have here first! It's just the instinct of man to explore...
    1
  1518. Doom Boz Don't worry I got it ;)
    1
  1519. I certainly will do. I was hoping to make videos about the planets first, and then have a very similar series for the moons of the planets!
    1
  1520. rangerwriter Check out my other Saturn video, I mention it in detail there! :)
    1
  1521. TheMisterMotU How did you manage that? Haha ^^
    1
  1522. +Zyme Overdose It would certainly be very dark at the surface!
    1
  1523. Alex Siemers you have been busy today! Thanks for answering people's questions :)
    1
  1524. I did increase the exposure for a couple of scenes, but it is very white in space engine, compared to universe simulator for example..
    1
  1525. It was actually created by amateur enthusiasts. Juno isn't really a high budget project, so NASA have been quite clever in giving the image processing for the public to do!
    1
  1526. Power puncher I'll send you a message and we'll see if we can work something out! Thanks for the offer!
    1
  1527. ***** It's funny, I actually have this mic now. I used it for the new Jupiter video. But of course, thanks for the tip!
    1
  1528. +wisdom4life It's actually believed to be about 29km to this scale. And red dwarfs are relatively visible, it's brown dwarfs that are not so easy to spot. Proxima Centauri, for example, is a red dwarf. Although I agree, there could be something closer that we simply haven't discovered yet!
    1
  1529. +Zero Knight Thanks for the kind comment! Yeh it certainly would be something interesting. I'd need to swat up on the subject myself though, as I really don't know too much about most of them! Good idea though, it's going on my list. ;)
    1
  1530. Actually quite a few kids watch my channel too!
    1
  1531. Can't tell if that's a good or bad thing!
    1
  1532. I didn't see the plans for that in regards to this telescope, but to use another example, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory will have something like a 100gbit dedicated connection to the data processing servers in the US. This observatory probably won't be pumping out as much raw data, and so I'd wager the processing centre may be local.

    1
  1558. Wow that is pretty interesting! I've never been able to wrap my head around a donut universe. Surely if that was the case, it would be a loop in a fourth dimension or something, because it's not like the universe is contained within a donut? It is pretty abstract, but I find these theories fascinating!
    1
  1559. This was the second video I ever made, I hope I've gotten better since then :)

  1560. Liking is still a big support! Thank you so much
    1
  1561. This is the time where paying attention to trigonometry in school would have come in handy :) and we all thought we would never use it in the real world! Basically, the parralax method is accurate, or when we sent probes off to distant planets, they would have never made it. So considering we DO know the distances of how much we move, we CAN use parralax to determine the distances to Cepheid Variables. If you don't want to accept that, I suggest you take a course in astrophysics to really try and grasp this concept, because I don't know what more a comment section on YouTube is going to help 😅
    1
  1562. At this point I assume you are just trolling :P
    1
  1563. It's a Youtube render error. That's why the video is still unlisted, and reaching out to Youtube customer support has proven fruitless so far...

    1
  1565. With great difficulty. You could easily jump hard enough to never return to its surface
    1
  1566. This was a collaboration with Seán, the creator of that ORBIT video! :)
    1
  1567. Chances are all the stars are still there, most stars in the sky are only a few hundred light years away. Other galaxies are the things millions of light years away
    1
  1568. It's an idiolect... Welsh, English, South African, America, German and Swiss rolled into one :)
    1
  1569. Wow, thanks so much!
    1
  1570. It blows off! Dust devils are quite common on Mars, and some have gone right over the rover, clearing the dust off the panels.
    1
  1571. ...yes it can
    1
  1572. Does it now 🤣
    1
  1573. That's because it is a hybrid of lots of different accents :)
    1
  1574. Check the description :)
    1
  1575. Oops! 😅
    1
  1576. Waiting for approval from the sponsor :)
    1
  1577. Yes I can see what you mean. Sadly I am not a motion graphics designer, but it is something I want to revisit in the future :)
    1
  1578. Back in my day...
    1
  1579. Yes!
    1
  1580. The Hill Sphere :)
    1
  1581. Close, Welsh with Irish ancestry 😊
    1
  1582. It is still flickering? It seems to be fixed from my end 😕
    1
  1583. Micrometeors and UV radiation over millions of years
    1
  1584. British pronunciation :)
    1
  1585. Thank you!
    1
  1586. Goldilocks zone for the potential for life on the surface. Part 2 will cover some of the moons with liquid oceans under the surface :)
    1
  1587. I wish!
    1
  1588. No you are!
    1
  1589. Luckily the corona is not at all dense, so heating up Parker will take a long long time
    1
  1590. Going great thank you!
    1
  1591. ...that is a pretty good idea! I wonder how hot the line would get, or if it would rip off from the drag
    1
  1592. I think you raise a good point, although realistically if there was life on Mars and it did indeed die out billions of years ago, I think evidence of that would have had plenty of time to get buried. I think we can't rule it out until we dig down several meters and see. The other thing is, Opportunity and Spirit are not equipped to directly find life, they were there to find evidence of whether Mars was ever conducive to life. Anyway, I think we will know one way or another in a couple of decades.
    1
  1593. Dimensions get pretty complicated, and I don't think I understand them very well, but I'm pretty sure time is seen as the fourth dimension, and there's additional dimensions beyond that
    1
  1594. I'll be there
    1
  1595. The game ends at 100, so I didn't want to get the last orb so I could continue getting footage haha
    1
  1596. Elite Dangerous gets a surprising amount of stuff right. An impressive game!
    1
  1597. I think it's Europa
    1
  1598. Released in 2 weeks!
    1
  1599. Literally just uploading? About 5 minutes, I'm lucky enough to have gbit internet :D
    1
  1600.  @pipertripp  I live and learn :)
    1
  1601. Thank you!
    1
  1602. You make s solid case for it! I wonder how resource rich the moon actually is, I need to look that up...
    1
  1603. I've seen his videos! He is very good :)
    1
  1604. I never noticed that I did it until a few viewers called me out on it. Old habits die hard but I've been making an effort!
    1
  1605. The photos are taken in black and white as this allows a higher resolution photo to be sent using the same bandwidth. Colour can always be added later :)
    1
  1606. Yep! Near Bern :)
    1
  1607. I didn't realise the size of some of those bushfires, so thanks for posting this. However, the area of land doesn't always tell the full story, the reason these ones were described as being the worst ever was because it was the forests burning, in an area which is normally a temperate climate, and thus was much more populated.
    1
  1608. It's very conceivable!
    1
  1609. It's too weak to build a spaceship out of. They have considered it, but these hydrogenated boron nitride nanotubes seem more promising
    1
  1610. Thank you!
    1
  1611. There is a point in Jupiter's atmosphere where the pressure is identical in fact, the problem is you would need to wrap up very warm, have an oxygen mask, and have to deal with a crushing 2.5g!
    1
  1612. The main problem is actually the bandwidth of sending video back to Earth. Some of these probes manage about a dial-up internet speed which means video is generally out of the question. As technology improves and bandwidth increases, there might be videos in future. They are some timelapses at the moment but there aren't many.
    1
  1613. I'll fix that next time ^^
    1
  1614. Some of Brilliant's stuff is free just FYI :)
    1
  1615. I just started again last week, what a cracking trilogy 😁
    1
  1616. On a clear night away from light pollution, yes!
    1
  1617. There is always something planned with Mars it feels like! I do think they want to send another rover, plus Curiosity is still powering along so still lots to be seen.
    1
  1618. If it has, I don't think it's ever been observed. The Sun is just on another level, that's why its flux tubes can be seen there. I think you closest thing you are going to get to visibly seeing it on Io is through the aurora.
    1
  1619. Scientists are definitely coming around to that idea! Brown dwarves are pretty hard to see though as they are so cool, so it's hard to back that theory up just yet
    1
  1620. 9.4 trllion kilometers :)
    1
  1621. Interesting concept!
    1
  1622. Lol are you expecting I do this for free?
    1
  1623. Not from Switzerland, but I'm currently living there! :)
    1
  1624. You are exactly right! While it isn't tidal locking that actually decays the orbit of the "moonmoon", tidal forces with the planet do. Its just a good rule of thumb that if a moon is close enough to its planet to be tidally locked, then the moonmoon will have its orbit decay. Tidal forces are pretty dang complicated though, and I thought it would be too much for this video so I left it out.
    1
  1625. It's really interesting how people process this differently!
    1
  1626. Yes!
    1
  1627. Thank you!
    1
  1628. Some of the clips in this video are from Space Engine :)
    1
  1629. He is an awesome artist!
    1
  1630. It had a RTG generator inside for power, basically radioactive plutonium. For fuel, once it's there it doesn't need much fuel as it's already in orbit. It only needs fuel if it wants to go somewhere else after the orbital insertion.
    1
  1631.  @jamesandriulaitis7897  They extrapolate the data they do have
    1
  1632. Venus can really bright in the night sky depending on the position of Earth in relation to Venus. Last year for a few months it was high in the sky during the evening, the best time to see it!
    1
  1633. Coming this week!
    1
  1634. The LROC actually does have colour capabilities, but can image in wavelengths beyond visible light, like ultraviolet. The real issue is that the moon really isn't too colourful to begin with, but here's an example of a colour image: http://lroc.sese.asu.edu/posts/223
    1
  1635. This is a really good question. I would imagine that near the surface, these molecules are in fact ice crystals much like water ice crystals in Earth's clouds. This could also be why Neptune and Uranus are referred to as ice giants. The deeper you go into the planet though, the greater the pressure and temperature. This would make the molecules act like gases and then eventually liquids. Hope this makes sense :)
    1
  1636. I think it's Wandering Gaze in the YouTube library.
    1
  1637. They could, it is in LEO. However, it is old tech, it's probably worth putting new telescopes up for the same cost. If anything I'd love for them to retrieve it and put it in a museum, but the thing is massive so I can't see it happening.
    1
  1638. If they are close enough to the planet, they probably will be tidally locked.
    1
  1639. The nice ones ;)
    1
  1640. Wow, thank you Steve! It's great to hear you're learning from my videos, that's what we're here to do! :-)
    1
  1641. Thank you!
    1
  1642. It is much heavier, but Jupiter is also very far away from it. Were Jupiter closer, the barycentre would be in the Sun. As it is, the barycentre of the Sun-Jupiter is just above the Sun's surface!
    1
  1643. Thank you!
    1
  1644. I might try that next time!
    1
  1645. Hi! It is a flash animation found here http://sciencenetlinks.com/interactives/messenger/dom/DayOnMercury.html
    1
  1646. Unfortunately not :(
    1
  1647. Probably it would help!
    1
  1648. Some of them do have infrared filters, yes
    1
  1649. It's my favourite video game trilogy! Because we don't speak of Andromeda
    1
  1650. What I'm really against is people trying to stir up negative reactions. If someone is courteous I will leave the comment up, it's just a shame that the majority of the flat earth community feel like they have to be very aggressive to get their point across. Because we all know how called someone an idiot will change their mind! Even your previous comment is an underhanded dig at people's intelligence.
    1
  1651. Check out my latest video, it's all about Bootes Void :)
    1
  1652. They did actually do it. Some of the timelapses are from the rear camera as sometimes they put the rover in reverse to even out the wear on the components :)
    1
  1653. Luckily I wasn't aiming this video at them, rather the people that enjoy astronomy but just don't know much about it yet :)
    1
  1654. ...yes we do!
    1
  1655. I think I probably averaged about 45-50kph, so times 4 is about 200kph. About 125mph?
    1
  1656. Very basically, wind or dust devils!
    1
  1657. Did you see my other video on Boötes Void already? Might give some more perspective
    1
  1658. It's definitely a Youtube error, it's the first frame in the video that keeps flashing up for some people. It's not in the source file for sure.
    1
  1659.  @occamsrayzor  consider these added bonuses to the fortnightly videos :)
    1
  1660. I don't think that is entirely true (although I suspect it has something to do with it). For instance, Hubble has been able to take pics of planets a lot closer than Pluto. For instance: http://hubblesite.org/image/4061/gallery
    1
  1661. Good to know! Thanks for sharing!
    1
  1662. You're right, it is a mix of various accents, but it's Welsh/South African/Swiss 😅
    1
  1663. That's because there really isn't much to find up and down :)
    1
  1664. Didn't know about this, very interesting! I might give it a mention when I talk about the moon :)
    1
  1665. It's not quite the same. Those moons are still primarily orbiting Saturn, they are just stuck in the Lagrange points of the moon and Saturn
    1
  1666. No plans... if we see it in our lifetimes, I'd be surprised
    1
  1667. That'll be a good start for you :) http://lroc.sese.asu.edu/images
    1
  1668. Thank you!
    1
  1669. There is a gap between the panels. They won't be touching no worries!
    1
  1670. Most stuff from NASA is in the public domain, most stuff from ESA can also be used but you have to credit them. Thanks!
    1
  1671. A little bit!
    1
  1672. Thank you!
    1
  1673. We didn't have one ready to go, and it is now too far away...
    1
  1674. I find it pretty fun, but there is still an element of self motivation
    1
  1675. Opportunity has gone 42km!
    1
  1676. How did it look?
    1
  1677. Very interesting thoughts! Makes me think having a food storage in my basement probably wouldn't hurt... just in case.
    1
  1678. A lot come from here: https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/keywords/dp?subselect=Target%3APluto%3A
    1
  1679. Thank you!
    1
  1680. I did make some of the animations using Space Engine and Universe Simulator 2. The rest are from NASA or ESO.
    1
  1681. The font is always the same, but yes I see what you mean. I shall see what I can do.
    1
  1682. Wow thank you so much!!!
    1
  1683. Wow so sneaky! Haha!
    1
  1684. Thank you!
    1
  1685. Thank you!
    1
  1686. That's a really interesting question!
    1
  1687. I don't think there's such a thing as a month on another planet!
    1
  1688. They wouldn't be damaged if they weren't connected to the grid, but transformers aren't mass produced. They are often tailor made to fit a specific requirement, which is why they take so long to replace. Replacing one or two at a time isn't too bad, but if they all fry at the same time, that's when there will be real problems.
    1
  1689. That's one of the reasons I picked this place, the only thing we hear about the region is the negatives. But ignoring all that, it's a seriously beautiful and unique place!
    1
  1690. It got a DMCA takedown, I'm looking at how to get it back up. Hopefully sometime after Christmas!
    1
  1691. Good topic. I'll add it to the list!
    1
  1692. Yes! Just send us an email to astrumspacechannel@gmail.com
    1
  1693. They are definitely related to the impacts, the crust folding from the force
    1
  1694. Haha this was my first proper video. I have improved a lot since then :)
    1
  1695. How did he get past the problem of Earth's atmosphere being opaque to microwaves?
    1
  1696. Could well be true! Jupiter does act like a vacuum cleaner.
    1
  1697. Maybe!
    1
  1698. Yes, apparently the Earth was as far away in its orbit as it could be from Halley as it passed, but it was still visible to the naked eye (so I'm told! It happened before I was born :))
    1
  1699. Thank you!
    1
  1700. Or ESO's ELT as well!
    1
  1701. Yes, and they will likely keep contact with it until the 2030s
    1
  1702. What can I say, I love space ;)
    1
  1703. Thank you!
    1
  1704. Jupiter doesn't really have a surface, so you wouldn't be able to walk on it.
    1
  1705. I reckon it would definitely help!
    1
  1706. It's amazing how many flat earthers don't get cell service in their houses, that is the real conspiracy I think!
    1
  1707. Yes it was a lot of info to try and cram in, maybe I'll go back and do a specific video on just that 😅
    1
  1708. I hope you succeed! Good luck!
    1
  1709. Thanks for the tip! I'll check it out :D
    1
  1710. One of the images in this video is the Juno view of Ganymede :)
    1
  1711. If only more people could reason like you did! I can understand why people take a random photo to represent a void, but then lay people just assume that photo IS the void, and the misunderstanding spreads...
    1
  1712. Comets are made of ice and rock, and are even referred to as "dirty snowballs" - https://science.nasa.gov/solar-system/comets/facts/
    1
  1713. Can you give me a timecode of what you are describing? Thanks!
    1
  1714.  @charlespolk5221  and it only happens on my videos? I'm really sorry, but it's not like that at all on any of my devices, so I don't know what I can do to change it 😓
    1
  1715. At those pressures, we don't really know how matter acts because we haven't been able to recreate it to test. Metallic gases are currently the theory!
    1
  1716. Much appreciated, thank you
    1
  1717. Do you not think you are being greedy to expect you get this for free with no adverts? ;)
    1
  1718. I'm British, but I live in Switzerland :)
    1
  1719. Haha! Now you mention it I see it 😅
    1
  1720. That is Cleethorpes pier in the UK! The guy that filmed it is https://www.facebook.com/andywardvideophoto/
    1
  1721. British spelling, the crater is named after HMS Endeavour https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Endeavour
    1
  1722. Relative to the orbital plain of the solar system! :)
    1
  1723. Thank you!
    1
  1724. Saturn has more mass than Earth, but has a bigger volume and is far less dense. These factors combined mean that gravity on the 'surface' of Saturn and on Earth are roughly the same
    1
  1725. You would be able to jump very high, maybe hundreds of meters, but you would definitely come down again.
    1
  1726. The quantity of the comments on my channel means I can't read them all anymore, but I still really appreciate you writing comments to help with the algorithm. You're a champ 🏆
    1
  1727. It's a radio telescope, not really the same as something like Hubble. If you had an array of visible light telescopes like the EHT then that could work
    1
  1728. I hear a few whales were confirmed to have perished because of it :(
    1
  1729. That's why I like European roads, lots of variety makes for a more interesting drive!
    1
  1730. Thank you! I like my eyes undamaged 😁
    1
  1731. I've heard both ways, I think British pronunciation is with a G and American with a J. But seeing as I watch NASA videos, they tend to pronounce it the American way so that's how I came to know it
    1
  1732. Thank you!
    1
  1733. Nine years I believe :)
    1
  1734.  @stevenhorne5089  no worries :)
    1
  1735. Wow thank you so much!!
    1
  1736. It's accurate :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympus_Mons Also, it's not the tallest mountain, but rather the tallest volcano.
    1
  1737. Thank you!
    1
  1738. Thank you!
    1
  1739. Maybe! The thing is we don't really now too much about them, it's mainly just speculation.
    1
  1740. I think the Jupiter moons refer to a dawn to dawn day, whereas the Phobos orbits once quicker than a Mars dawn to dusk. Thanks though, I should have been more specific!
    1
  1741. I will be honest, I've only seen Gaia ads but it's some of the most ridiculous stuff I've seen.
    1
  1742. It might do in about 200 years... Currently a 1 in 2700 chance
    1
  1743. I meant objects orbiting tidally locked objects will have their orbits degrade. That is because their orbits have to be under the geosynchronous orbit point to still be in the tidally locked object's Hill Sphere, and thus it will fall in eventually.
    1
  1744. It would be interesting - although I don't know enough about the info contained in the pyramids at the moment. I might check it out for a future video!
    1
  1745. Good eye 😜
    1
  1746. Earth is a lot more wet than mars generally, meaning dirt sticks onto things easier. On Mars the wind will blow the dust off!
    1
  1747. It is still flickering? It seems to be fixed from my end 😕
    1
  1748. I think it's probably because it's really cold, but NASA have sent the Phoenix lander to the north pole before.
    1
  1749. Yes! If oxygen is present.
    1
  1750. We don't know for sure!
    1
  1751.  @davidcopson5800  Thank you for bringing me back to sanity David!
    1
  1752. No, New Horizons has an RTG for power :)
    1
  1753. If you shot every so often before you built up too much speed, I think that could work!
    1
  1754. You are right Pat :)
    1
  1755. Real photos imposed onto a 3D model.
    1
  1756. Thank you! Great input.
    1
  1757. Conjecture isn't science, go do ALL the math and come back. Also, do you think it's nice to insult someone who doesn't agree with you? Do you really think insulting them will change their mind? Tbh you are the 6 year old, and if you are an adult well then I'm sorry for anyone that has to live with you. What a terrible attitude.
    1
  1758.  @mikedelhoo  I think this is a serious case of the Dunning–Kruger effect...
    1
  1759. The technology is there for us to be "green", but there is a lot of vested interests in the world slowing the process down. I just worry that the longer humanity produces more CO2 than the carbon sinks absorb, natural disasters and wildfires will only become more common.
    1
  1760. Thanks for the comment! If you can't afford anything it's totally fine, I am really not trying to make it uncomfortable for anyone. If you still want to support in other ways, simply liking and commenting on videos is already enough! Thanks again
    1
  1761. We don't know exactly what our galaxy looks like, but we do know what type of galaxy it is because of the density and distances of stars :)
    1
  1762. Actually, that image is correct - http://wtamu.edu/~cbaird/sq/mobile/2013/11/15/why-does-a-magnetic-compass-point-to-the-geographic-north-pole/
    1
  1763. Is it royalty free? :)
    1
  1764. I show a colour image towards the end of the video :)
    1
  1765. I do mention it in the video but it's 5km across! So not very big at all. But very interesting!
    1
  1766. Long exposure photos :) besides, it is far away but it's still not too dark. Think twilight on Earth.
    1
  1767. Thanks so much!
    1
  1768. We can see Mercury! You just need to catch it while it is above the horizon and the Sun has gone below the horizon. You'll only be able to see it at certain points in the year though because it is sometimes behind the Sun from our perspective.
    1
  1769. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGYv3sCuxVQ
    1
  1770. It's a Youtube render error. That's why the video is still unlisted, and reaching out to Youtube customer support has proven fruitless so far...
    1
  1771. Thank you!
    1
  1772. It's a dialect thing... that's how we pronouce it in the UK. Not to take credibility away from your comment... ;)
    1
  1773. Hahaha that's pretty ingenious
    1
  1774. I see what you mean but do you really think the general public are going to study 30 mins of radio waves? This is a way to connect with the masses in a way they can understand, showcasing some of Cassini's science and what it was doing in a relatable way. NASA wouldn't have a budget otherwise
    1
  1775. These missions are 20 years old, once they launched there was no upgrading the hardware. The new Curiosity rover had colour cameras and could record video.
    1
  1776. Thank you for the donation! And interesting points you raise
    1
  1777. Wow, thank you
    1
  1778. Thank you!
    1
  1779. Oh no 😣
    1
  1780. Interesting thought but I don't think lightning would cause a shadow
    1
  1781. It's not, there are way more hi res images of the moon. Look up LROC
    1
  1782. Thank you!
    1
  1783. My first video like this, lots of lessons learned since then :)
    1
  1784. Sorry it took so long!
    1
  1785. Universe Sandbox2 :)
    1
  1786. Now that is a trip I would do.
    1
  1787. Exactly!
    1
  1788. Close, the Crab Nebula would be SN 1054. It was not quite as bright, as SN 1006 but perhaps a more beautiful shell left behind!
    1
  1789. It's a frame from the NASA animation on this mission :)
    1
  1790. Good question! I'll look into it.
    1
  1791. This one is particularly bad because I used a laptop mic 😅 but is it bad even on my most recent ones? I have a condenser mic now and on my speakers it sounds fine
    1
  1792. Sadly not :( although maybe they did and the NASA conspiracy theorists are on to something...
    1
  1793. Thank you for the clarification! I thought it would be obvious that Cassini flying into Saturn was CGI as it hasn't actually happened yet, even the date of the event is visible, but ah well :)
    1
  1794. If you look at the Earth sky, is it always blue? Or is it also gray, red, green, purple, yellow? Is the visibility always good or is there sometimes dust in the air, pollution, fog, or more? Mars is also variable.
    1
  1795. Good question! Although we're talking huge distances from the Sun (the Oort Cloud is roughly 2,000 to 200,000 AU from the Sun), the Sun is still closer and exerts a stronger gravitational pull than any nearby star, so these objects are still firmly within the gravitational well of our solar system. Right now, the nearest star system to us is Alpha Centauri, which is around 269,000 AU away. That being said, the Sun's hold on Oort Cloud objects is still pretty weak when compared with planets or inner solar system objects, and the Oort Cloud is mostly made up of small, low mass objects. This means perturbations from stars that pass near us from time to time can easily fling these tiny objects in new directions - sending long-period comets toward the inner solar system, ejecting them out of our solar system into interstellar space, or stealing them to remain in the new star system! And in turn, our solar system can also grab the outer objects from a passing star system and recruit them into our Oort Cloud, so stars passing nearby each other could effectively swap some objects depending on their movements.
    1
  1796. Maybe!
    1
  1797. Wow thank you so much!!
    1
  1798. Ok imagine then that the still was taken with the most powerful zoom lense we possess.
    1
  1799. Keine Chance 😂 das wäre sehr schwer
    1
  1800. Thank you! Comments like these mean a lot
    1
  1801. I found 'hierarchical' to be quite the tongue twister!
    1
  1802. Once nuclear fusion begins, it becomes a main sequence star!
    1
  1803. I was thinking of adding the ionosphere, but with the runtime of this video as long as it was already, I thought it deserves its own video in the future. Thanks for the feedback!
    1
  1804. It's a Youtube render error. That's why the video is still unlisted, and reaching out to Youtube customer support has proven fruitless so far...
    1
  1805.  @sulijoo  true!
    1
  1806. I know, tell me about it...
    1
  1807. I'm not, but my wife is :)
    1
  1808. That would be awesome!!
    1
  1809. Thank you!
    1
  1810. Interesting thought experiment!
    1
  1811. I'm pretty sure anything that goes to Mars gets an extra sterilization process compared to a probe mission. But yes, I see your point!
    1
  1812. We do! https://youtu.be/oGYv3sCuxVQ
    1
  1813. Thank you! I'm putting a lot of effort into the polish, glad it's noticeable :)
    1
  1814. Check description :)
    1
  1815. This video is 4K! :)
    1
  1816. It might have, but we won't know until we see it!
    1
  1817. I must admit I went onto dictionary.com to find the pronunciation. I must have got the Greek god pronunciation, I did not realise they would be different. Thanks for the info!
    1
  1818. Depends on the point of reference, the Sun or the Milky Way. Both are right.
    1
  1819. Thanks to the Chang'e rover, we even have images from the surface as well as from orbit! http://lroc.sese.asu.edu/images
    1
  1820. Have any links for the older photos for me?
    1
  1821. I'm glad someone picked up on that play on words!
    1
  1822. Which such long exposure times, it makes it look a lot different than what our natural eyes would see. Combine that with the fact that most images are not only taken with visible wavelengths of light, but ultraviolet and infrared too. The data is then converted to a colour that we can see. Hope that clarifies what you are seeing!
    1
  1823. It's on my list! :)
    1
  1824. Thank you!
    1
  1825. That's the beautiful thing about astronomy! It's a pursuit of knowledge! You can always go deeper :)
    1
  1826. Maybe... Probably a dust speck at that point!
    1
  1827. Thanks for the spot!
    1
  1828. Thank you so much for supporting the channel!
    1
  1829. It's a big frustration honestly.
    1
  1830. 3:2 spin orbit resonance isn't quite the true definition of tidally locked, although tidal influences no doubt play a roll in that resonance.
    1
  1831. Night side is a point on the moon where it's night time. I'm not talking about the far side here :)
    1
  1832. That's actually the best pronunciation I've seen! Very interesting and thanks for mentioning it!
    1
  1833. Thank you!
    1
  1834. Send me an email and I'll see if we can work something out :)
    1
  1835. Deal.
    1
  1836. It's actually the occultation of a star. This means a camera focuses on a star in the distance, and when Uranus's rings pass in front of the star, the star dims because something is in front of it. The amount of times the star dims as the rings pass over indicates the amount of rings there are. Uranus's rings are really dark so this is the best way to know they are there. Hope that makes sense.
    1
  1837. Ah sorry for that! I will try and see what the problem was this time
    1
  1838. Thank you!
    1
  1839. I don't believe these areas are more exposed to shadows than other regions, but interesting theory nonetheless!
    1
  1840. It would make sense I suppose xD
    1
  1841. Objects beyond the observable universe can never be seen because light emitted from them never reach us. The expansion of the universe between the two objects is greater than lightspeed. Redshift does happen but we never see it because the light never reaches us anyway. Objects that are within the observable universe but still far away are also invisible in the visible light spectrum because of the expansion of the universe redshifting the light. The light that was emitted in the visible light spectrum reaches us in a stretched form, namely in infrared and beyond. To our eyes, we can't see it, so it appears black. Infrared telescopes can though. Hope that makes it clearer!
    1
  1842. Actually I have a video in the works on that at the moment!
    1
  1843. Not in the UK! :)
    1
  1844. Well thanks for your constructive input! It's appreciated :)
    1
  1845. I'm sure they will be analysing it for many years to come!
    1
  1846. Actually Jupiter is 0.1%. The rest of the solar system is 0.1%. Roughly anyway.
    1
  1847. It's free though :)
    1
  1848. 800 mil is purely cost of construction and launch of the rocket, the rest of my figure comes from the research and development cost added on
    1
  1849. So glad to hear you enjoyed it!
    1
  1850. Lots of the Apollo photos are colour https://www.flickr.com/photos/projectapolloarchive/albums
    1
  1851. I personally was devastated at the bad news 😩
    1
  1852. I wonder that too. Maybe it would link to an orbiter somehow and the orbiter would transmit to Earth.
    1
  1853. I was only 6 when Hale-Bopp went past and I still remember it! It was spectacular!
    1
  1854. I've done Earth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGYv3sCuxVQ, I may do some of the others at some point too!
    1
  1855. I don't I'm afraid!
    1
  1856. Perhaps. It's not anywhere near as dense as Orion but looking through the right wavelengths with an extremely long exposure should allow you to see something.
    1
  1857. Here's a quote from the video for you: "From these accumulated samples, scientists were able to make an unexpected discovery. These were not sedimentary rocks, as had first been anticipated. Instead, Perseverance had discovered the igneous rock, Olivine. Olivine is a type of rock that can actually be found here on Earth, for instance in parts of Australia. Unlike sedimentary rocks, which are made by particles of sand and other detritus slowly accumulating on top of each other over time, an igneous rock like Olivine is formed by the cooling of magma. As such, it seems that at one time or another Jezero crater must have been witness to some volcanic activity. While this might initially seem to be bad news - you might rightly conclude that not much life could be found in magma - scientists could discern signs of water erosion on the rocks. The ridges at the ends of the crater showed signs of water motion. Whatever volcanic activity had happened here, the water that created Jezero’s delta must have come after it had already cooled. As such, the presence of igneous rock was actually good news. Igneous rock is usually very high in minerals – this is why the areas around volcanoes are so fertile. The presence of water and high mineral count rocks would have been perfect conditions for life."
    1
  1858. Aw dang it good spot. Thanks!
    1
  1859. I do plan to do an update video at some point, I think the mission is ending soon so I may do one then (although they may extend it, I need to check). I know what you mean about the difficulty in finding information though, they are not the easiest websites to navigate.
    1
  1860. I don't think science will ever be able to say for sure!
    1
  1861. I am looking into some OTTs but I'm letting someone else deal with that haha

  1863. Thank you!
    1
  1864. Spin-off channel maybe? Haha!
    1
  1865. It would if it's looping in roughly the same region of sky for 6 months due to it being a triple conjunction
    1
  1866. I'm glad someone made that joke! :D
    1
  1867. Ouch 😅
    1
  1868. Thank you!
    1
  1869. The media is fickle 😅 I didn't follow much about it apart from I did hear the drill/hammer was having some difficulties at some point. Might be worth a video indeed! I'll check it out.
    1
  1870. You are totally right. That's why the stereo views are important. I don't know if you've seen any of the moon pics from the LRO but they are even worse for that!
    1
  1871. It's not actually that dark, they think day on Pluto is the equivalent to twilight on Earth. Not terrible.
    1
  1872. The actual images are much higher than 4K :) http://lroc.sese.asu.edu/images
    1
  1873. I plan to do a Q&A with the community at 100k :) almost there! Thanks for sticking around this long!

  1877. Oops!
    1
  1878. Mainly Durban and Bloemfontein, although I've been back since and toured pretty much the whole way round. Lived there for two years, but could easily live there again if it weren't so far from my and my wife's family... Really love the country tbh
    1
  1879. It was somewhere around Bloemfontein, perhaps on the road to Lesotho. I had to get out of the car and just look up for a good 30 mins!
    1
  1880. I don't know, a quasar is like a pulsar on billions of steroids. Either way, terrible for our health.
    1
  1881. Hitting the atmosphere at that speed then it acts like an impact due to the friction... A bit like hitting water too fast, doesn't have time to give way to the impact

  1889. It's just an accent thing, but I am actually training myself to pronounce it now ^^
    1
  1890. I do wonder about that tbh. That and cabin fever. I know I wouldn't be very suited to that for sure
    1
  1891. It was a short journey so exposure wasn't too bad in comparison
    1
  1892. I just added some subtle twirl effects here and there to make the images not look so flat. It's not really 3D, just rather a trick of the eye!
    1
  1893. Saucy
    1
  1894. Hey, nothing wrong with pondering the mysteries of the universe! It leads to discoveries and learning! :)
    1
  1895. I'm not an expert on classifications by any means, but if there was an appropriate time to call something a binary dwarf planet, I would say this is it.
    1
  1896. It's just a flash animation! Have a look here http://www.messenger-education.org/Interactives/ANIMATIONS/Day_On_Mercury/day_on_mercury.php

  1905. Just IR sadly
    1
  1906. Yes I have! https://youtu.be/mBuvVM_e4G0
    1
  1907. There's a lot that can be done, some things more uncomfortable than others. But as a start I'd lean into wind, solar and nuclear, and really hope nuclear fusion turns into something in the future. Probably less shipping would help too, these massive ships are the worst polluters. But disclaimer: I'm not an expert on the solution side of things
    1
  1908.  @Markle2k  You raise some good points, but I think its hard to judge exactly how many trans-neptunian objects there are with current technology. We've discovered something like 500,000 asteroids in the asteroid belt since the 80s, and the Kuiper belt is much further away and harder to see from here, so not unreasonable to assume there is a lot more to discover.
    1
  1909. They probably do eventually!
    1
  1910. I get your sentiment and I agree very much, but technically Juno fired the thrusters, in much the same way a gun shoots a bullet, not the person. So let's say we are both correct :)
    1
  1911. It will be better at seeing far distances, ELT will be better at nearer. ELT's spatial resolution will be much better than Webb's, however being in space, Webb can see the far-infrared, which the ELT can't. That's really the difference.
    1
  1912. That's because galaxies have a much bigger angular diameter than Pluto in our sky. For instance, Andromeda has a bigger angular diameter than the moon in our sky!
    1
  1913. True!

  1915. I'm sorry for the melted brain, but glad the video made you think! The atmosphere size was really interesting to me as well. If you think Pluto's is high up though, you should watch the Titan video!

  1923. I've seen gameplay vids, but I'm afraid it will completely absorb my time, I don't have very good self control with those kind of things haha
    1
  1924. There's a new mission to Titan that's just been annouced called Dragonfly, worth checking out!
    1
  1925. One of the images in this video is from the surface and it's razor sharp! Curiosity has a fantastic camera on it

  1931. But Pluto I'm on your side 😣
    1
  1932. Hi Walter, I'll sort this out for next video. It's basically because the brackets have changed so you didn't appear in my list of members to have their name in the credits when you rejoined.
    1
  1933. Sometimes, every picture tends to be a bit different. Hubble can see far into ultraviolet and a bit into the infrared, so yes far beyond what our eyes can see. James Webb will focus on more the infrared side of the spectrum.

  1938. What is RMS? Forgive me I'm not an audio engineer, but I am willing to learn! This is actually with a blanket over my head, sadly the new apartment I just moved to is really echo-y. I bought a rug and I'm looking to put stuff on my walls soon.

  1946. @G G you were right! Thanks for the heads up!
    1
  1947. Thanks for doing the research on that! Very interesting indeed!
    1
  1948. What kind of family are they really? Cool to see you on the channel :)
    1
  1949. Not being stupid at all. Very basically, you can't travel the speed of light because matter would need infinite energy to accelerate to that speed. However, if the medium you are in is expanding, technically those objects aren't traveling the speed of light. They aren't moving from the spot they are in, the spots are just getting further apart, if that makes sense.
    1
  1950. This is going to the L2 Lagrange point, whereas Hubble is in low Earth orbit. Much easier to get to Hubble.
    1
  1951. There is a night side of the moon, it just changes throughout the month. I'm not talking about the far side of the moon here :)

  1955. They have induced magnetic fields... That's like saying margarine and butter are the same 😜
    1
  1956. The red grains are actually the stars
    1
  1957. Maybe someone else did a video on it, it wasn't me!
    1
  1958. You're right, these are above the moon's average radius.
    1
  1959. That's the point, it's not about the size really, it's about the mass. A planet can be larger while still being far less massive
    1
  1960. Thank you!

  1974. But stars don't move relative to the big bang, if anything galaxies do. Stars orbit in the galaxy. And it takes millions of years, so it won't appear to change much from your perspective. Maybe over your lifetime you'd notice some slight differences.
    1
  1975. Thank you!

  1985. 13% is better than zero. While I do think there will be some health risks attached (we haven't stayed in a low gravity environment long enough to find out), I imagine it will still be hundreds of times better than zero gs.
    1
  1986. I think so, but not to the point where we get more energy from the reaction than we put in.
    1
  1987. This is the main website I use to get images. Enjoy! https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/targetFamily/Pluto

  1988. An email should have been sent out - basically the cards I ordered to sign came back terrible quality so I had to get them reprinted with a different company. Sorry for the delay, it's not ideal :(
    1
  1989. Regardless, the rest of the video about the expansion of the universe and where is the centre etc are all observable. We know what happened up until about 13 billion years ago because we can see it. But yes, before that is educated speculation, although CERN is currently doing some experiments regarding fundamental particles, so we will see!
    1
  1990. Spot on!
    1
  1991. It's a Hubble image of Uranus, I believe in the infrared. Check out more about it here: https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/galleries/hubble-tracks-clouds-and-moons-at-uranus#!

  1993. Eventually yes! I'll finish this series before that though.
    1
  1994. NASA's soundcloud have a lot of them
    1
  1995. It would, but you would have to go extremely deep to find a level that matches Earth I'd imagine...
    1
  1996. To be a star it needs to be about 70 times as massive. At that point it would be big enough for nuclear fusion to happen in its core.
    1
  1997. It's because they take photos to be able to better distinguish the materials they are imaging. To find out exactly what the colours represent, check this out https://www.uahirise.org/pdf/color-products.pdf The rover imagery is much more what you would see with your natural eyes.

  1998. Certainly the office with the best view!
    1
  1999. Man I gotta say, that was a lot better than I was expecting! I love your energy towards the subject, and the production quality was pretty dang good for what was essentially a one man crew. Maybe we should do a collab when I'm back in the UK (or you come to Switzerland! The night sky is so clear here!)? Because astrophotography is not something I've ever tried but I would love to learn and I'm sure some of my subs would too. Send me an email on my contact page if you're interested. Thanks! Alex

  2000. The shipping is limited for now but I hope to expand on it soon. Really sorry to disappoint for the moment!
    1
  2001. Not every niche... We don't see life in lava. We know (our) life requires water, so anywhere where it's super arid, we wouldn't find life. I'm not saying there isn't life on Jupiter, but based on what we know, it's highly unlikely.
    1
  2002. I actually quite like this idea 😅 I'll see what there is and if it could work...
    1
  2003. That's a great explanation! Do you mind if I ask you if you thought of that yourself or if you saw/read it somewhere?
    1
  2004. @StickerMigTigger We'll see!
    1
  2005. Your point about mainstream TV is exactly why I started this channel!
    1
  2006. Thank you!
    1
  2007. Plus atoms and solar systems are suspiciously similar! It does make you wonder. That or nature just likes certain shapes!
    1
  2008. China has a big monetary interest to keep that market cornered, and has a lot of money to invest. If China does make moves, the US won't want to be left behind. That would speed things up drastically. That's my opinion anyway.
    1
  2009. Wow thank you so much!!
    1
  2010. Link at end of video and a card in the top right, click that small 'i' symbol
    1
  2011. Then you'll love my Opportunity rover videos :)
    1
  2012. I think so! So maybe he'd be wise not to shoot...
    1
  2013. That's a great question. Putting that on my list!
    1
  2014. I'm tip top! Thanks!
    1
  2015. It's just whatever colour filters they decide to use on the image... NASA is very inconsistent in this regard sadly
    1
  2016. The Moon would probably count as a dwarf planet rather than a planet
    1
  2017. Sehr gut danke und dir?
    1
  2018. Most stars don't start burning until the cloud is exhausted, then they cool and collapse until the pressure at the centre becomes so great nuclear fusion occurs. This creates an outwards force against further contracting, creating the equilibrium I mentioned. Also the heat generated during the protostar phase is literally from the impacts from the material. Once fusion occurs, it's no longer a protostar. Hope that helps!
    1
  2019. It's a Youtube render error. That's why the video is still unlisted, and reaching out to Youtube customer support has proven fruitless so far...
    1
  2020. It is atomic hydrogen. I'm not a physicist so I don't really know how it works, but the majority of HII regions consist of hydrogen, and it's definitely visible.
    1
  2021. That's when I was talking about tholins and hydrocarbons :)
    1
  2022. Sadly it's not helping :( thought this would be a popular topic!
    1
  2023. Check the end of the video :)
    1
  2024. Thank you!
    1
  2025. Yes, this is my favourite song from it :)
    1
  2026. The grand finale was the last 5 months of the Cassini mission, not misleading. https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/missions/cassini/mission/grand-finale/overview/
    1
  2027. If it has a CGI sticker in the top right corner, then you know it's CGI.
    1
  2028. That is... the best explanation I've heard yet 😂
    1
  2029. 15.5 times a day to be exact :)
    1
  2030. They could have, but it would have added ten years to the arrival time I think. So they decided to go the faster route. In reality, I don't think they expected Pluto to be as interesting as we now know it is!
    1
  2031. The IAU names space related things :)
    1
  2032. http://lroc.sese.asu.edu/posts/1105 Enjoy :)

  2033. http://fr.ubergizmo.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Pluto-in-true-color-bleeding.jpg :)
    1
  2034. It's on their soundcloud page
    1
  2035. I think if there was a significant portion of the public that didn't believe in the moon landings, maybe they would (although people would then probably cry out that the rover was fake too). As it is, I don't think they want to waste their budget appeasing a small minority when there's science to be obtained elsewhere. Honest answer!
    1
  2036. Thank you!
    1
  2037. Thank you!
    1
  2038. Not yet, but it is on the list :)
    1
  2039. I'm pretty sure the light curve is different, a gradual brightening for a gravitational microlensing event, vs a sharp rise in brightness from a flare
    1
  2040. Thank you!
    1
  2041. It could well do, but this video was looking at supernova candidates within 3000 light years, Eta Carinae is much further away (which is perhaps a good thing)
    1
  2042. The light speed limit is because mass would need infinite energy to get to the speed of light, which isn't possible. However, if the volume the matter is in is expanding, technically the matter isn't accelerating so doesn't need energy. If that makes sense.
    1
  2043. The gravity of Pluto was too small to pull it into orbit as it was going so fast. If we wanted it to go into orbit, it would have taken about 10 more years as it would have had to have travelled much more slowly.
    1
  2044. I'd say that's a pretty good guess!
    1
  2045. Feb 15th :)
    1
  2046. If anyone wants to hire me to do audiobooks they are more than welcome ^^
    1
  2047. Marianas, found in the Youtube audio library. Enjoy!
    1
  2048. It had a camera, but not a video camera. So what you are seeing are the photos it took rendered onto a terrain map. What it actually saw looked more like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbmcoL3OqPk each flash that pops up is an image it took as it descended.
    1
  2049. Sorrrrrrry :(
    1
  2050. https://youtu.be/Tu327ZWGG1M
    1
  2051. Interesting thought!
    1
  2052. Lot's of people said it regardless 😅 but thank you for your constraint!
    1
  2053. You call them both Sirius, and to differentiate them Sirius A and Sirius B
    1
  2054. Astrum is Latin for star :)
    1
  2055. Thanks Mum :)
    1
  2056. I think the Phoenix mission went to one of the poles
    1
  2057. The thing is, there is no right way :) all astronomers say it differently
    1
  2058. That's awesome! :)
    1
  2059. Can God not work through scientific means?
    1
  2060. A welshman that has lived in many different places over the years. My accent is quite corrupted!
    1
  2061. You have a very promising space program though!
    1
  2062. Like I mentioned, hopefully that will change with the James Webb Telescope. It is being able to see through the dust that is the problem.
    1
  2063. Yes, some black holes can be very small, like an Earth mass, and some can be millions of times the mass of the Sun
    1
  2064. True! I'll look into that for next time. Although the scale varies slightly with each image, the best resolution is 0.3m/pixel. This means it is about x3 more zoomed in than you would see on google maps, which is usually about 1m/pixel :)
    1
  2065. I didn't know your phone used radio waves, generated 100s of watts of power, was designed to function and operate vast distances away and cost close to a billion dollars! That's like apples to oranges. Phones aren't designed to work billions of km away, not even a few kms away from your signal tower. So I'm sorry but I'm going to call bullcrap here! :P
    1
  2066. Thank you!
    1
  2067. Thanks again!
    1
  2068. It will eventually run out. The near-IR instruments will run for as long as the telescope is operational though!
    1
  2069. Exactly!
    1
  2070. We don't know about moons yet! But you're right, that could be a big factor for these planets too.
    1
  2071. I would love to, but haven't yet.
    1
  2072. Yes I do. Oops!
    1
  2073. Thank you!
    1
  2074. It's a Youtube render error. That's why the video is still unlisted, and reaching out to Youtube customer support has proven fruitless so far...
    1
  2075. Actually you are right! I just checked.
    1
  2076. Ah dang it.
    1
  2077. Bandwidth and connection stability is an issue.
    1
  2078. Titan is in the outer solar system :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OXhZgFZm4c

  2079. Sink holes have definitely been observed. http://m.esa.int/Our_Activities/Space_Science/Rosetta/Comet_sinkholes_generate_jets
    1
  2080. I did one already!
    1
  2081. Probably! The cameras on these spaceprobes can pick it up, don't know about it person though
    1
  2082. Interesting topic! I'll add it to the list.
    1
  2083. Could do if there was enough mass after the collision. Doubt we could ever observe such a merger though...
    1
  2084. A great ambition to have :)
    1
  2085. There is definitely some interact between solar wind and the dust tail, but not so much. In fact, a comet can have both tails go in completely different directions! https://www.universetoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Catalina-Nov22-Chris-SchurCROP.jpg
    1
  2086. I'm applying the stuff I learned at university, plus practice makes perfect ;) but thanks! Good to know I'm going in the right direction :)
    1
  2087. Great answer David! And yes, the source of water is still being debated.
    1
  2088. Just my accent sorry!
    1
  2089. https://youtu.be/OTSXGyGhrPo Enjoy :)
    1
  2090. Coming soon!
    1
  2091. Yes my grain of sand is quite big, but I specify exactly that it is 1mm in diameter. So both are correct :)
    1
  2092. Definitely. Also sometimes they just want to get the funding initially, and once it's in orbit they can argue about expanding the mission because it will be cost effective at that point
    1
  2093. This is still a ways away but mineable asteroids would be a lot easier to access from Mars, for instance
    1
  2094. It said it was named after the German word for groove - rille - and if that's the case it is pronounced ril-le? Trust NASA to take a German word and mispronouce it haha
    1
  2095.  @Bugdriver49  I did produce it. As I was looking up the pronounciation for rille, I read that NASA use the word rille because it's the German word for groove, channel, furrow etc. I speak German, so I assumed it would be pronounced the same way as the German's would pronouce it. I was wrong. Apologies!
    1
  2096. I'm glad! Thank you!
    1
  2097. Yep. ISS orbits in the thermosphere.
    1
  2098. Thank you!
    1
  2099. Sadly no life detecting equipment on this mission to prove it either way, could have been interesting though!
    1
  2100. It was free to get your name on the CD... but yes the CD was vapourised on impact.
    1
  2101. But that was the mistake I made as a child, I assumed the Sun was also a ball of fire and that it was burning through combustion... It is rather a ball of plasma powered by nuclear fusion at its core! No oxygen necessary.
    1
  2102. Thank you :)
    1
  2103. Let's say they humoured you and actually put a camera on the moon to take real time photos of earth... Wouldn't you just say it was fake? Seems like a wasted exercise.
    1
  2104. Quite a bit = a lot 😅
    1
  2105. It might be that you're not watching it on Chrome, sometimes other browers don't like 4k60fps. Give that a try and let me know
    1
  2106. Exactly.
    1
  2107. Thank you!
    1
  2108. The 5km wide images are b&w simply due to the size of the images, each one is over 300mp big and they didn't have the bandwidth for colour. The 1km wide images are smaller and so they are in colour.
    1
  2109. That might be a bit high end but I can look into it :)
    1
  2110. Check description :)
    1
  2111. Impacts are so energetic, the rock melts and pools at the bottom :)
    1
  2112. http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/common/content/videos/dataMovies/July13-15Simulated.mp4 enjoy :)
    1
  2113. Thanks!
    1
  2114. Not that I recommend exposing your lungs to that cold, oxygenless air - but yes I imagine it would smell pretty bad
    1
  2115. I guess you didn't watch the video
    1
  2116. Also, I didn't realise your car cost a billion dollars? I love people that make comparisons like these, they really aren't the same... Haha!
    1
  2117. It is possible, but I don't believe that is the accepted theory. But that's all it is at the moment: theory.
    1
  2118. And yet...
    1
  2119. In some ways, yes there is!
    1
  2120. Thank you for your support Russ!
    1
  2121. We don't know for sure :)
    1
  2122. If NASA released the images, I would show them in a flash I promise!
    1
  2123. That's very kind, thank you
    1
  2124. Haha! Underrated comment
    1
  2125. That's actually one of the Voyager probes :)
    1
  2126. Superimposed to help appreciate scale, apologies for the confusion 😅
    1
  2127. Only in that and a few other sections of the rings. The rest really is rings.
    1
  2128. Interesting question! I'll add that to my list...
    1
  2129. Thanks for the heads up! I'll admit this was organised by our ES channel as I can't speak a word of Spanish, but I'll definitely check up on that in the future.
    1
  2130. They aren't trimmed, it's a mosaic of several images stitched together.
    1
  2131. They relay the data to one of the orbiters of Mars, like MRO, and which then sends the data back to Earth. It can even transmit all the way back to Earth itself if needs be, but at a greatly reduced bandwidth,
    1
  2132. I have a Neptune video :)
    1
  2133. It's about the length of exposure, a few days would probably be alright, but you wouldn't go to Mars for just a few days!
    1
  2134. You mean this one? https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/spacecraft/rover/
    1
  2135. I do! At the moment mainly card games like Elder Scrolls Legends, I'm also playing a bit of Warframe ^^
    1
  2136. Probably something to do with what happened before that, which I couldn't tell you because I have no idea :)
    1
  2137. Wow thank you so much!!
    1
  2138. Keep going! Whatever you achieve in life, I believe what's most important is how you deal with the lot you are given - and having to deal with depression is a pretty tough lot. At the end of the day, you can't do more than your best, and that's all that can be expected of yourself. It's not about the destination, it's about going to the right direction - even if it is sometimes two steps forward and one step back. Good luck!
    1
  2139. Yes they can!
    1
  2140. Get the pitchforks!!
    1
  2141. I actually forgot to reduce from the YT default. I'll do that now. Thanks
    1
  2142. I loved the book so I should give that a go too!
    1
  2143. I guess you didn't watch the video
    1
  2144.  @yusuke0703  well now I'm convinced you didn't watch the video haha
    1
  2145. I'm sure Rayleigh Scattering plays a part, but I couldn't find any confirmation of that. Something I read said "What makes the E ring bluer than anything else in the solar system is probably its unusually uniform composition, de Pater says. Nearly all the particles in the ring appear to be the same size, about two microns in diameter. Showalter calculates an average radius of 1 0.3 microns, which means that laid side by side there would be 12,500 particles to the inch. Particles of such uniform size, unheard of in any other ring structures, reflect light of only a narrow band of wavelengths, in this case in the blue, giving the E ring a unique blue cast. Saturn's other rings contain a broad range of particle sizes that reflect many wavelengths, making them look white."
    1
  2146. Thank you!
    1
  2147. Thank you!
    1
  2148. Thank you! And I'm glad!
    1
  2149. 60g minimum. Although it can't be kgs of the stuff or there wouldn't be fuel for the return leg. As it stands though, they might be lucky to get 60gs seeing as the particle sizes on the asteroid are so big
    1
  2150. The planets have to survive the red giant stage first, but you are right, there should be some out there!
    1
  2151. I'm hoping I've smashed it first try this time
    1
  2152. Thank you!
    1
  2153. I didn't have a Principality Stadium graphic 😫
    1
  2154. Apart from maybe tidal effects, not much. It might mean though that their respective Hill Sphere's are smaller because their gravities are competeing with each other.
    1
  2155. Thank you!
    1
  2156. Thank you!
    1
  2157. What's your theory then?
    1
  2158. Probably because it's a royalty free clip! But I don't know what eruption it was sadly.
    1
  2159. Everyone says we are in a void, but just look at that filament we are in the middle of. There are thousands of nearby galaxies. I'm saying if there was a galaxy right in the middle of Boötes Void, not part of a filament like ours, technology wouldn't have been able to detect other galaxies until the 60s.
    1
  2160. It's a Youtube render error. That's why the video is still unlisted, and reaching out to Youtube customer support has proven fruitless so far...
    1
  2161. Thank you!
    1
  2162. I don't know the exact process behind the image, but it looks like a thin cross section that's been backlit. The colours aren't added after the image though, it's a real photo.
    1
  2163. Expect it on the 1st March :)
    1
  2164. No, but I lived there for 2 years :)
    1
  2165. Solar panels as in entire fields? Or just for a house? The problem is the surge of electricity going through the transformers on the power grids. Industrial surge protectors / cut offs would stop damage to any type of power plant I think.
    1
  2166. Thank you!
    1
  2167. Thank you!
    1
  2168. The problem is, we don't know if something like that could exist or not. Nothing from Earth could survive those temperatures, so if something else could survive on the Venus surface is anyone's guess!
    1
  2169. 5:00 :)
    1
  2170. Hi! The moon orbits the Earth, which ISN'T tidally locked to the Sun, so the moon's orbit won't decay. But if there was a moon orbiting the moon, which IS tidally locked to the Earth, then it's orbit will decay. I hope that makes sense! :)
    1
  2171. That was the plan!
    1
  2172. I actually have already, just in another video :) see if this answers your question? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OXhZgFZm4c around 9:37. Personally I have no idea whether lifeforms could exist in Titan's lakes, but I would like to think there could be something!
    1
  2173.  @dannydazzler1549  It might be tricky to make a video about but I'll look into it :)
    1
  2174. If the channel gets especially busy it can take a while, but at the moment it's manageable :) if people take the time to thank me, the least I can do is acknowledge it!
    1
  2175. It's a fisheye lense. It's the navigation camera, so it needs a larger field of view. The panoramic camera doesn't have a fisheye lense though, as you can see in the colour photos.
    1
  2176. The hillsphere is only relative to other objects. So the nearest competing gravitional influences are other stars, often light years away. Yes red dwarves are small, they are a step up from brown dwarves which are failed stars.
    1
  2177. I guess you didn't watch the video then 😜

  2181. I'm afraid I am quite a newbie with telescopes too! I'm quite jealous, I would love a $5k telescope! If you end up getting it, I love love to see any picture you take with it :)
    1
  2182. One I did, one was from wikipedia and the other from the Planetary Society :)

  2185. There's a bit of a debate around the pronounciation... I grew up thinking it was 'Hailey'! I went with the pronounciation all astronomers use in the end :)
    1
  2186. It's the cloud layer that really obscures the view, under that visibility is about ~1km.
    1
  2187. It definitely had liquid water so air pressure would have been somewhat similar at some point, whether it was breathable or not though, we don't know right now!
    1
  2188. It's because the mass is spread out across a larger volume, making the density lower. That's why a planet like Neptune has roughly the same gravity as Earth, for instance.
    1
  2189. I wouldn't know where to start haha 😅
    1
  2190. I have two other videos, one about Cassini-Huygens and the other about Titan which shows a lot about what Huygens saw. Check them out :)

  2195. Thank you!
    1
  2196. Honestly, I'm not a orbital mechanics expert so I don't know. But if perhaps it is to do with the probe following the orbit of Jupiter?
    1
  2197. Oops! Thanks!
    1
  2198. Thanks so much!
    1
  2199. No, it's Space Engine :)
    1
  2200. Good suggestion!
    1
  2201. Most mainstream scientists believe Jupiter formed in the solar system and that it's younger than the Sun.
    1
  2202. No, it's ripples in the sand dune. The true colour image will help distinguish it. We often use false colour on Mars to help distinguish between features as true colour tends to be harder as you can see: https://www.nasa.gov/images/content/207411main_Sol1162B_P2299_L257atc-hires.jpg
    1
  2203. No, that's just what I believed as a child!
    1
  2204. It's transmitting the data from Saturn to Earth, that's the bottleneck
