Thank you for the great video. We all have heard the saying "no one can hear your screams in space". I put that same concept to how was the satellite able to capture sounds when there is no oxygen for the sound waves be carried?
Appreciate it. The 'sounds' aren't true sounds, but rather the plasma waves that Parker's FIELDS instrument detected. The great thing about waves is that you can play them back at a frequency humans can hear ;)
How about this theory? In order to have temperature you need something that can vibrate. Perhaps there is just more matter to absorb the radiation from the sun in the corona so it is able to reach a higher temperature. Why it can't do this on the surface I'm not sure, but perhaps there a different force dominates.
If you are not blown away by the total majesty of these stunning videos then you're missing a sense of wonder and awe, beautifully narrated and presented, I'm so glad I've found you're channel.
I really didn't grasp how revolutionary the Parker solar probe is. James Webb gets a lot of attention, but all these other missions are important and, one might say, necessary to extract more knowledge from Webb. Thank you Christian for bringing us these astronomy news
This channel is SOOOOO underrated!!! Keep at it my guy! You've got the coolest, best explained, easy to understand (without dumbing it down) & well documented "space channel" on RU-vid IMO. Why in the world your channel was only recently in my suggestion list is yet another mystery of our cosmos 🤷🏼♀️ I'm very happy to have found you, nonetheless! 😁✌️🌐
The 'sounds' & sonification of the universe are endlessly fascinating... I love that planets like Jupiter & Saturn make sounds that a Moog synthesiser would be jealous of, while the sun whistles like a pan-pipe or flute 🎵
@@SquirrelASMR it's weird cause I found your channel in some extremely random way non related to the videos I usually watch. Then I started to find your comments all the time because apparently we share an interest for physics and cosmology
@@larsalfredhenrikstahlin8012 haha I used to comment a lot all over youtube apparently a bit too much. Yeah now I'm watching mostly space videos. 😍🛰☄🚀🌌👨🚀
Another great presentation, Mr. Ready. Love seeing how much understanding is being gained about all the stuff that’s out there! Long live space exploration!!
@@jorgefierro3096 It's quite sad and pathetic, really. People would rather watch twerking videos over this awesome informative and highly educational content. What has the world come to?
I wanted to only spend 5 min on the video. Stayed here till the end because the information is presented with logical sequence and calmly. Great editing too
Excellent content. Interested to know facts from Parker's future passes of Sun. It simply amazes me to realise how robust Parker's instruments have to be to get that close to the Sun.
Didn’t I just hear the Tardis revving up? Great presentation, truly extraordinary stuff. However, whenever the sun is mentioned, I’m reminded of a bloke I know that narrowly survived melanoma. He refers to the sun as “ that poisonous ball of death”.
The sun gave your friend a melanoma... But I think the human race may become the cancer of the universe . Humans are very clever. We adapt and survive, and will kill anything that gets in our way.
@@ronaldthwaites177 yup. That is the only sad idea I contemplate as I think of humans exploring the galaxy. We are doing everything we can to poison and destroy the Earth, will we take our destructive ways to other worlds too? Will we spread through the Milky Way like a cancer? I hope that humanity learns our lesson with the Earth and that it isn't too late to reverse the damage. And that we don't do the same elsewhere.
I hardly ever comment on educational/informative videos, but I wanted to say, 99% of info videos take 60 seconds of content and stretch it out over like 15 minutes with as much fluff as they can add in. Yours is one of the only ive seen where the whole video felt interesting and immersive and having actual content instead of fluff or dramatization.
Great video! Wow the Parker probe is really amazing! There are some very smart detectors, systems, and sensors on board. Some very interesting discoveries indeed. Great presentation and some intelligent humor. Rock comet! Lol hahaha 💫 🤟🏼😎☀️
It's nothing more than exciting to hear that Parker Solar Probe reached Sun's Corona. The maximum temperature observation capacity of Parker Solar Probe is merely 1400 degree Celsius but the temperature of Sun's Corona is above 5500 degree Celsius. This is unreal claim. One can touch the sun rays from earth itself that is what Parker Solar Probe did.
High School Science Teacher!! Prior to teaching Science I spent 33 years in ionizing radiation detection research. I didn't work in high energy physics radiation detection, rather I worked with novel ionizing radiation detectors for detecting thermal to fast neutrons (fission neutrons) in the presence of a gamma and beta radiation background. I therefore understand ionizing radiation detection and this project would have been AWESOME to work on!! Thank you for a very interesting presentation!! I just finished explaining the protective action of the Earth's magnetic field and how these solar charged particles would kill life on Earth were it not for Earth's magnetic field!!
8:30 amazing. i wonder if thunderboltsproject has spoken of this phenomena. this shows the magnetism flowing out of the magnetic Sun, while the Sun shoots out electrical ions - thus one of many proofs - electro-magnetism rules the universe.
So Lucid, so enticing, so exciting! Dr. Christian Ready elucidates seemingly esoteric stuff so well, not only that it is palatable for non-experts, but it also invokes an urge in them to learn about the mysteries in the Universe...and the universe has an inexorable stock of them! As has been rightly said, a host of phenomena in the Universe, hitherto undiscovered... all have been patiently waiting for our human wits to sharpen!
The idea that we're hearing something that would never be possible for human beings to ever encounter is so fascinating to me. Like, that's a sound that does not exist as far our entire existence is concerned. Evolution and all our historical experiences would never take such a sound into consideration. I love it. How coooooool!
Love Your Videos,Holy Crap..Thats Nuts(The Switchbacks)and The Sounds Of The Particles Are Wild..Were Going Out In a Bit To Do a Little Solar Viewing,Super Windy,and Clouds Earlier,But Ive Got a Little Bit Of a Window,Thank You For Another Great Video,We Have a Sun Spot❤️...Happy Days and Clear Skies🔭🌏🙏🏼❤️🇺🇸
Great video Christian :) I also enjoyed listening to the video, nice and clear and no speed talking, which is a welcome change from others who talk so fast I can't understand what they say. Keep up the good work.
The sun ROTATES??? Ok, that's new. So, I'm so grateful to NASA, ESA, and the entire astrophysics community for this pioneering era of discovery were in. This includes you and your educational videos. Thank you. I'll tell ya, Parker is great but I'm really looking forward to the James Webb getting launched, unfolded, and set up all the way out there at L2.
Note that some of these signals really are waves propagating via the plasma medium, thus involving moving particles, and are therefore not merely "sonifications", but just a bit like sound. FIELDS detects frequent "ion acoustic" waves that propagate just like longitudinal pressure waves in our atmosphere. And, finally, many of these plasma waves do occur at audible frequencies, so this is really what they "sound" like.
I just found this channel. I'm so beyond glad I did. Idkw it was only just recently in my recommended list. Anyway, you have a fan in me. Thank you for what you do. Long live space exploration! 🛰🌌🚀
Regarding the Sun's far more extreme than expected Co-rotation I wonder if it might have some connection not only to the quietness of the Sun but also to the surprisingly regular solar reversals which are apparently not common around other G type main sequence stars that at least in data so far appear to be more irregular in magnetic reversal and more magnetically active than our Sun also leading recently to the rare Sun hypothesis. Given the hypothesis that the reversal of the sun's magnetic field might be induced by the coalignment of Venus Earth and Jupiter every 11 years. It is an interesting idea but if true perhaps the Sun hasn't lost its angular momentum via solar storms but the energy may have gotten trapped in the corotation? This might happen because the Sun's magnetic fields couldn't get to build up large amounts of magnetic energy from the short regular reversal preventing the Sun from losing most of its angular momentum via enormous Coronal Mass Ejections and solar flare events. This would also possibly explain the Sun's outlier status among sampled G type stars relative to their rotation curves as a proxy for age since if the Sun was holding onto more angular momentum than typical G type stars then stars with similar rotation rates to the Sun would be far younger and thus more active. An additional possible support of this comes from the temperature discrepancy when using rotation age as a proxy since our Sun is hotter than those other stars given that stars get hotter over their main sequence lifetime this would be expected if the Sun was significantly older than most stars with its rotation rate Regardless with the increasing evidence that our Sun is an outlier among G type stars we will need to be careful with interpreting results from our Sun to other stars. It also raises the alarming possibility that the apparent quiescence of the Sun is more akin to damming a river preventing the bulk flow from escaping trapping all that angular momentum in the Sun for our solar system's 4 billion year history. If true this wouldn't have much of an effect so long as the 11 year solar cycle holds but it could be a problem if the cycle stops as you might incidentally get some kind of super flare as the magnetic dam bursts....
This video is phenomenal. It gives me goosebumps when seeing and hearing the workings of our universe.. it feels so good I could cry. I’m incredibly grateful for this video. Thank you 🙏
Do the switchbacks form within a certain range away from the sun? That would make it likely that the sun's gravity could contribute to, or even cause, the collapse of the solar winds, when they lose some energy and "switch back" towards the sun, but then they get hit back by more radiation and turn away from the sun, where the star's gravity can no longer influence the winds' direction. While gravity seems like a plausible factor to me, I mentioned the "certain range" away from the sun because a smaller stream of solar wind is likely to collapse closer to the star, and larger winds farther. P.S. Please use manual focus on your camera. The first few seconds were not eye-friendly. :)
This is THE most fascinating scientific endeavor I've seen in a while. The sun seems to have a plethora of undiscovered new data; the bonus video was quite engaging as well.
Fascinating. The sun sounds eerie, it'd make an interesting soundtrack to a sci-fi horror game, or movie in my opinion. Great video, can't wait for more discoveries by Parker and ESA's Solar Orbiter.
@@LaunchPadAstronomy I sat through many Astronomy lectures in university back in the days. It was so important the lecturer loved the topic he/she was talking about! You appear to be one of them :) keep up great work!
Good important information about sun. Is there any evidence of dust rings around the sun?How close Parker Probe to sun? How much wide sun disc is observed at minimum redius from the sun?
Funny how every time I make a video I get flack for using metric even though that's the standard in science. So I try to do one differently for the 'muricans and I get flack anyway. Oh well :)
I wonder how long it will take to erode away with the unanticipated-level of 'sand blasting'? Puts me in mind of ancient Indian reckonings for time - enormous beyond comprehension really a Kalpa is about 3.3 billion years 0r as an analogy : "Imagine a gigantic rocky mountain at the beginning of kalpa, approximately 16 x 16 x 16 miles (dwarfing Mount Everest). You take a small piece of silk and wipe the mountain once every 100 years. According to the Buddha, the mountain will be completely depleted even before the kalpa ends. " (from wikipedia) and Yugas...
In your #3 discovery the " switchback effect" may have some link to the "The Dzhanibekov Effect (or Tennis Racket Theorem)" at least in some small scale............
