Something that I'd imagine is quite "easy" by the standards of modern astronomy, like working out the weight of a celestial body is still amazing to me. Being able to even estimate the weight of something so far away, that you can basically only observe and not even take samples of seems crazy. I'm so glad that even things that are seen as fairly standard and simple these days are still amazing and wonder inspiring to me.
True, when you go back to the basics and not take them for granted is definitely normal to be surprised! Glad to have passionate people around! Thanks for watching!
Gosh, how much more I wish an unmanned space probe bound to Ariel would discover for the very first time ever two new craters named Peter Pan and Tinkerbell and a large icy plain named Lacuna Sirenum, the Mermaid Lagoon!
From what we have seen of NASA Probes, they take decades of planning, construction, launch, travel, arrival, data monitoring and interpretation plus a Billion dollar price tag. It seems that every probe is specialized and not off the shelf. If something like Cassini was to be reproduced several times the cost would come down. Seems to me, that if there was a standard probe design, we could explore more often. The only time I have ever heard this being done was replicating the Mars Express with the Venus Express...ESA probes. The only recent data on Uranus and Neptune is from Earth observations. Step up the cadence!
I was literally thinking about this the other day, if we had a bunch of probes that are all small and easily reproduced, we could practically explore the whole solar system with one rocket.
@@macehilmatecilof4140 I think we are heading in that direction now that we have cube sats. But I haven't heard of using them outside our low Earth orbits. Oh yeah, there are some CLPS missions to the moon that will use cube sats.
Who the Hell decided to crash Cassini instead of re-routing her to Uranus and Ariel? Crashing Cassini was an opportunity lost. Now we have to start over from square one. It's that kind of short-sighted thinking that'll keep us Earthbound for the next thousand years. SMDH.
Ariel Surface Gravity is like that of our moon but a bit less, since Ariel is smaller than our Moon. The Radiation is dangerous around all Gas Planets. We have to produce some type of Magnetic field.
@@brickx4106 I'm aware that the gravity is less than the lunar gradient of 17%. Ariel is much smaller and less dense. As for a radiation threat, that depends on several factors. That's why I was asking.
Hey! Can you make a video with your predictions about what our civilization will be like at stage one, according to Kardashev's scale? It would be really cool
I wish and hope an American automatic space probe discover on the brightest Uranian moon Ariel two peculiar craters named Peter Pan and Tinkerbell and a very large cryogenic origin icy plain named Lacuna Sirenum, the Mermaid Lagoon in Latin.
