Mysteries of Io NASA Hasn't Solved Yet 

Enjoying Dr Davies enthusiasm for his subject.

This was an absolutely amazing conversation....I almost called it an interview.....but that would have been inadequate....Continued phenomenal content is wat you provide, Fraser....🤟

So interesting! Thanks Dr Davies & Frasier.

Love Dr Davies enthusiasm talking volcanoes!

It blew my mind when I saw the first Voyager images of Io as a kid in the '80s.

Can you just imagine how AWESOME it would be to have a lander on this moon???? Huge Jupiter in the background and a starry night sky, no atmosphere, and volcanoes going off in the distant, so surreal.

This made Io feel more like a real and vivid place than it's been to me before

Io is a true jewel... Fascinating stuff!!! Some of these interview's are just fantastic!! Really appreciate it!!! Spock and the other Vulcan-ologists would be proud 😁

It was those pictures of the outer solar system from the Yoyagers that really sparked my original curiosity about everything space, especially the Io volcanoes. Also Fraser, I used to see those same yellow mounds out my kitchen window across Burrard Inlet. I miss that view of the hills.

Really interesting interview, and I can't wait to see images from Juno's next flyby

Excellent video, thanks. Happy new year!

The Vancouver sulphur pile is an industrial by-product of natural gas processing

Dr Davies - enthusiasm , glee, are so infectious. God Bless all.

earliest ive even been to your video!!!

It's really fascinating how different the worlds in our solar system are. You can have a gargantuan gas giant orbited by both a cold ice shell moon and a piping hot volcanic moon. It's so strange to think about.

Thanks for the video cheers from Toronto 🙃

Excellent interview

Thank you for the interesting conversation. I wasn't aware of the fact that I would like to know much more about Io.

great video fraser man

Thank you very much Fraser! That was another great interview. Because you are fortunately also very knowledgeable and your passion meets that of the scientists. And again, there was so much to learn. I'm also a big JAXA fan, by the way. Their public relations work is also funny. The following is a music video explaining their work J-Pop style. They also have others on the channel in other styles, like rock and hiphop/rap. Cool, like Jaxa! (Also cool is this first private space company in India. They do a lot of things differently and will surprise us too. ISRO's work with young talent is also cool. Apart from that, many are waiting for Rocket Factory Augsburg and other exciting projects in Europe. Canada is also a member of the ESA and they want to finally build their own stations and spacecraft. Hopefully the unfortunately already outdated Ariane6 won't eat up too much of the budget. Great times nonetheless :) Have a great New Year's Eve and all the best for you, your family, your team and your patreons! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mtBGnx3gm2A.html

Io needs more love!

Good shit! I’ve got my toboggan ready so let’s go!

The dallol hydrothermal system has quite some Io vibes. There is some impressive drone footage here on youtube.

I love listening. I always think I'll be able to sleep to these and have interesting dreams, but I end up listening to the entire talks intently! Random question that popped in my head after a dream last night: Would astronauts traveling to distant worlds experience fluctuating G forces depending on the planets or stars they're passing by, how close, and the speed at which they're traveling?

This was good

Really its so interestyng this video I like

Is sulfur something we might mine for in the future if we found an asteroid or something within reach? Or just any benefits of such a sulfur rich environment? Great video as always! 😊 Geez, I should wait til the end to post... Wow, a shell or crust of material then a complete separation from the next layer, what about multiple alternating water/crust layers on an exoplanet beyond our craziest sci-fi dreams.... This must be one of the coolest times to be alive in my opinion, as far as learning soooooo many things and being able to access it or even contribute to the discovery in many cases! I like it! 😊

Landing on Io may need DU armor just to survive for a while? [Just to help the analytics.]

Ahhh AWESOMENESS

Great show, Fraser. I have a question: If we could make the moon spin in order to experience 24 hours day on the moon would it be a constant feature of the moon or revert to tidal locking? If it would revert to tidal locking how long it will take? Would the reverting span be dependent of the direction of rotation or be the same?

Io rover challenges: • very high Δv requirements • extreme ionizing radiation • constant volcanic particulates • potentially driving over snow • potential oxidation issues

23:27 that is SO close to the surface omg

Yep, we definitely need an Orbiter, Lander and a Rover dedicated to Io!! @NASA, @ESA, @JAXA, @ISRO and @CSNA, please put together a mission!! It’s time Humanity started taking Solar system exploration to the next level!!

33:18 His reaction is how to know you're talking to a true expert 😂😂😂 "it would. To some extent. To do it? *heavy laughter* " (absolutely no sarcasm. This is absolutely clearly a man who has wrestled with this a LOT.)

As a destiny 2 player I appreciate the efforts to find Asher ❤

I.O. is such a fascinating object. It's mind-boggling to imagine we basically have a real Mustafar in our own Solar System (Two Mustafars if Venus is still volcanically active.) Though the high ground wouldn't help Obi Wan much on either of them.

Does Io have "seasons" dealing with how its tilt compared to Jupiter affects the magma ocean and volcanic events?

@Fraser Cain I have a Question about JWST and data transmission. Does the JWST have any problems getting the signal back to Earth given the fact that the moon is always in the way? How do we go about getting information from it? Is there a relay system of sorts or do some of our Satellites have line of sight to it?

A good location to see sulphur eruptions is Kamchatka. I don't know why they didn't mention that. Hardly any sulphur on Iceland.

how many vlocanoes are there on erth, mars, or venus.

IO is at about the same distance from Jupiter than the Moon is from Earth. Thus challenging extreme radiation both for humans and for any hardware.

Vulcanologist, the study of Vulcans. 🖖

I been thinking a lot about these Lava tubes on these various planets and wonder, is there any possibility of an Endosphere of sorts( Atmosphere inside the tubes)? If these run large enough and deep enough Vapor pressure of various gasses should cause them to start to build up and we figure our Atmosphere is roughly 50-90km of gas pressure to the vacuum of space so with something like this if there was a perfect vertical column for the sake of argument a few tens of KM down would we start to see a stabilization as "atmospheric pressures at the bottom should be far larger than on the surface no? It would take relatively little energy due to the vacuum to turn various things like water, CO2 or Nitrogen Ice into a vapor. Hell, sublimation accomplishes it in many cases. What of our moon? If we put an Aluminum plant deep in something like this what would result from just venting the Oxygen directly into the interior of one of these large tubes. Convection is not really a thing and there is no real wind so only solar winds over the relatively small surface area of the opening is the only main loss. IDK, its a bit of a shower thought but has really got my mind wondering if these are far more complex inside than expected. I started considering this ever since I seen what looks like wet dark spots that regularly appear over tubes on the moon. Could they really be water slowly making its way to the top as convection heat through the rock hits patches of ice and increases vapor pressure until a simple transient atmosphere forms inside. The more it heats and melts the easier it would be for it to heat and melt.

Nothing else looks like Io in the entire solar system

I wonder if The Expanse had it wrong? Maybe a geothermal plant on Io is the way to go instead of giant mirrors around Ganymede. It sounds like there's nearly infinite geothermal power to be had on Io. Maybe you don't live there, but you could expoort the energy to make an artificial sun for another moon. It doesn't need to be be nearly as powerful as the actual sun. Basically just a grow-light directed at the farms on the other moon.

In the search for exomoons, could we infer the existence of exo-Ios by some signature of an exo-Jupiter's magnetic field?

Could the radiation environment on IO be used as a power source?

Question: I've learned today, on a different channel, that there is posiibility, that there are primordial black holes in the centers of some stars. If a star irradiates energy in every direction, outside and inside, and if in a core of a star will be a black hole irradiating energy outside, there will be many collisions of high energy atoms. May it explain high metallicity of some stars?

Titan is an enigma also.. How does it have an atmosphere let alone such a dense atmosphere?? And all you hear are vague ideas like "something replenishes the atmosphere". Okay, but how? Where is all this material coming from and how is it not depleted?

Why so much volcanic activity on Io? Is Io a young moon, therfore experiencing such geological activities?

why would the radiation be so much worse on the surface of Io compared to in orbit? Assuming that is what was meant when they mentioned it as an issue for a lander which didnt seem to be a concern for some kind of orbiter explorer

"He is a Vulcan..." "He is? Whoa! It's about time the Vulcans started pulling their weight instead leaving all the science to Humans." "...ologist"

Would placing life on Mars help with efforts of terraforming the planet?

Was wing Wednesday at the local pub and I was watching this video. My question is it legal to cast it to the smart tv in our area of the pub. Someone else was interested in what I was watching. Dark matter is circulating in the solar system and may be the power source of the future Dark matter phase transitions could be a primary climate driver. If the solar system passes through an area of higher liquid dark matter content the planets cores would all receive more heat due to increased phase transitions thus heating the earth from the inside out. Heating of the planet from the inside out would result in : Increased ground temperatures Increased sea temperatures Increased nighttime temperatures Increased seismic activity Increased earthquakes We are currently passing through the S1 dark Matter stream Dec 12 2016 Venus Mercury alignment Venus atmospheric tsunami rotation slowed Dec1 2018 Venus Mercury alignment tsunami rotation slowed June 3 18:00 2020 +0 29 North Venus Earth conjunction VENUS TSUNAMI facing the Earth day 1 July 2020 Siberian heatwave and Antarctica temperature spike Jan 9 01:00 2022 +4 51 North Venus Earth conjunction VENUS TSUNAMI facing the Earth and the planets were slightly closer than the last conjunction 585 days March 18 2022 Concordia Station spiked 39 C degrees due to unusual air patterns near Australia North Pole regions hit 30C above normal Aug 13 11:00 2023 -7 41 south Venus Earth conjunction VENUS TSUNAMI was past the outward deflection and on its way back 1166 days Oct 28 predict a major heat release in the Arctic and Antarctic due to combined tidal affects on the dark matter sphere around the sun in combination with the movement of the barycentre of the Earths location. VENUS TSUNAMI was facing the side and the distance between the planets was further DATES TO WATCH for tsunami rotation ??

Neptune ? June 15-23 Mercury Venus alignment Venus atmospheric temperatures from 2009-2017 also were higher after conjunctions Venus atmospheric rotation takes 4 days - atmospheric tsunami takes on average 5 (4.9?) days to circle Venus since 1986 this could be caused by an offset dark mater sphere as a result of wobble induced by overflow of LDM every 5 days when the sphere is closest to the sun. This departing kick is what keeps the offset between Venus and its dark matter sphere which then accumulates LDM for 5 more days. The interval from the data I found varies from 4-6 days the 6 day stretch was after the 2022 conjunction which may have depleted its dark matter reserves resulting in a slower tsunami rotation. The clouds at that level take 5.7 days to circle the planet (tsunami speed = 328 kph) NASA issued a climate change warning for Mars after Mariner 9 Neptune has been heating up since 2018 In May have a liquid lava center? Can tidal heating heat a liquid center.

Love Death + Robots s3e03 - The Very Pulse of the Machine ;)

~300 volcanos. that is a lot less than i assumed. that's not a lot at all, for an entire moon that's about a quarter the diameter of earth

? @28:40, like flying through a whales plume to gather it's biome.

Are there silicate based whales on IO? Do they daydream of a Dragonfly mission to Earth?

"Maybe all the volcanoes are connected by a Global Magma Ocean" I'm going to start calling the Earth's mantle a Global Magma Ocean. 🤦‍♂

Like snowflakes are the bodies in our solar system...i wonder how far out we would have to go to find a twin for any of them...almost as if each system is being ran by sulpher and co2 generating plantoids and moons or whatever is needed for that system...maybe that is how you make and maintain a solar system...maybe we will make our own solar systems one day

🫀🖤🫀

Question for Fraser: do you personally think that we already know most of everything there is to know about spacetime and cosmology or do you think there is an entire hidden chapter or chapters of physics and cosmology (much like Mass Effect for those acquainted) which holds a potential to allow us one day to manipulate gravity, create an FTL method of interstellar travel, possibly even reverse entropy or do other things which today seem unthinkable? I personally believe we don't even know one tenth of everything about physics, but curious about your opinion.

hasn't happened yet or abstracts

The ultimate Space Race would be catching up to the Voyagers, to either resupply power, or to destroy them for reasons of confirmed Alien threats. Let's go! What say you?

"MaayG-Mah". (Magma)

"Io has a core of iron and and iron sulfide, what does this sound like? A mantle of partially molten rock, Io is a sulfur rich moon, what does this sound like? Io’s metallic core generates a magnetic field connecting its own poles with the poles of Jupiter, what does this sound like? Io’s volcanoes emit sulfur dioxide and oxygen, what does this sound like? Rotating field, magnetosphere, sulfure ions, circular orbit, what does this sound like?"

Yeah those other boring moons with their boring liquid water oceans that probably harbor life, who care about them let's look at the celestial firecracker

Should have Io images overlaid what the Dr. talks about. Shame there.

Don't talk too much trash about Musk... Starship may be able to get tow or three missions to low earth where much less fuel is needed to get off (especially if they insert a second stage?) to the other planets...

First off, I want to say yes, the concrete ever where it was bad, and yes, SpaceX should be fined too for it! I'm sure they were just no. Nobody is talking about it..! You know what else is bad of or on you? Is you, you asking for my money ever video in some way or another it's getting old. You In some way want us all to either to sponsor you or some go-fund me here you go-fund me there our page here or go-fund this or something or someone else there.. I get that you need some help. Some extra employees for this or that. But asking this as an introduction it is getting old TBH IT'S GETTING OLD go funded me here there. I feel like you are begging like a pan handlers on the street corner. You are and can reach out to many more people not asking. We get it you want this to be a business, but stop, we know how it works. You are and keep talking about you, and needing that this 1% funding it is old, slow up some. Slow up on trying to get all of it please, it will come just putting all of the work and great content you put out there for us all, and it will come.
