NASA's Stunning Discoveries on Jupiter's Largest Moons | Our Solar System's Moons Supercut 

At the most elementary level the planets are taught because they are the most basic, similar to how an intro to geometry course wouldn't focus on trigonometry. The point is to inspire fascination so people are interested and look into planetary sciences like selenology (moon). As far as deeper science the moons of Saturn and Jupiter have been a huge focus for a while now because of their makeup and potential. Cassini changed our whole field, there is so much interest now from so many people and i love it

This is where Science Fiction came in for me! At that time a lot of it was confined to the Solar system.

Yes, it is weird how they're often overlooked. I often find the moons to be more interesting than the parent planets, especially as some of them are the prime candidates to harbour life in the solar system.

You should get into cosmology, our solar system is a joke compared to what we've found over the last 10 years. There's a planey where it's entire surface is made out of a diamond like substance lol

@@daMillenialTrucker I mean, it's uncut and unpolished, but if diamonds can form on earth, then it follows they'd form elsewhere. Still bonkers, though (and probably a nightmare to look at if the sun reflects off/through it too brightly)

Thank you! Good idea. I'll add that.

@@astrumspace A man of your word. Thank you

da big boi planet

Better hope youre on the outer moon or the radiation will kill you fast.

had this feeling of nostalgia reawaken and bought one of those Nat Geo scopes, would see the red eye and some of the larger bands.. mind blowing :)

Imagine the amount of sunscreen you'de need with all that radiation...

I just did last night. In my dream it was scarey realizing the ship could strand us on Mars but I realized whej we got to jupiter it would feel like the real center of the color system

The trouble of course is designing and producing such a submarine, transporting it to Europa, and getting it beneath the thick layer of ice. Maybe small uncrewed submarines can work.

I don't think radio signals would get to the surface even if it managed to melt through all that ice. Thats a lot of water for a signal to punch through.

That would be really amazing to see.

How would you get a submarine down there ?

That’s fascinating and amazing! I always thought the pressure at deepest would be like thousands of times more pressure then Mariana Trench, but the reason it has low gravity makes sense and amazing

Thank you!!

im glad to have something long to watch while i conquer dishes

Here is a cringy revalation from a fun, when I have difficulty falling a sleep, I just listen to one of your videos and I almost never manage to finish one. Now it is a challnge to see how many nights it takes to take in the content of 1 video. You have amazing voice, thanks for helping me fall a sleep when i cant

@@0000SYL I agree, Alex has a very calm comforting type voice, excellent for narration.

Isn't Callisto the outermost?

Yeah, such deep oceans spanning the whole planet are simply.... awe-inspiring

You need to lay off the devils lettuce my friend

How deep is that really

@@jgilbert1998 150 km is about 93 miles. {:-:-:}

Love this comment, this is what it’s all about !

yeah, this totally feels like something would come on and watch as getting home from school back in the day. Oh well, thank gods for youtube I guess.

Same bro. I usually use the rewatched videos as ASMR to sleep while picture Enceladus or Titan's surface and me walking on them.

I was dozing off as i was reading this.

Everybody does that

I agree! I usually hate ASMR but Astrum and SEA have relaxing yet very interesting videos that I use to doze off. I can recommend his Hubble Playlist, as I have used that often because I have trouble sleeping. No more pills, just chill videos.

Really agree with this comment! I like watching space videos to fall asleep at night...last night I only made it through the first moon, but when I woke up and saw the video had finished, I hit rewind and made sure to watch the last 3 while I was awake! Excellent content. Also a fan! ♡

Ditto. Absolutely georgeous images. So perfectly displayed. Fascinating information. I too look forward to seeing everything you put out on the solar system, and beyond- should I live so long. Thank you for a job astoundingly well done.❤❤❤

Astrum's video are always packed with information and amazing images and animations, they deserve to be studied with the same attention one would pay to academic material.

I'm so happy that You would love to moon me!!!!

Enceladus is the best one IMO and criminally under rated....

That's cool!

You know about Space Engine, right?

@@Andromedon777 NOW I DO!!! Thank you!

And when you curse or swear do you say "By the four moons of Jupiter!"?

@@samgamgee7384 LOL

Absolutely. Honestly we should all be hella grateful for Jupiter, and that entire system of celestial bodies, for _countless_ reasons as well. But them gracing our skies with their beautiful, awe-inspiring presence is definitely a great place to start! 😉

@@realzachfluke1 fr bruh jupiter go hard af

I actually photographed jupiter and 2 eclipses at the same time with my telescope, its pretty awesome

Zoom lens? Are you sure you don't mean telescope. 300mm zoom lens and Jupiter is just a dot, let alone the moon's.

@@mrmingsun you could see its moons with a 300mm lens, I've seen many ppl do it before

wow you are so green lol go watch some eric dubay please my god 😆

The video is great. The narration is great. The repetitious background noise ruined the whole thing.

It would be cool if there was life on Europa. Then we'd finally have an answer to the question of whether or not it was a good idea to go looking for it.

I mean microbial life that doesn’t photosynthesise is still life, and would still be a huge achievement to to discover for humanity

in reality , like exploring difficult places on earth you will soon yearn for home unless you had a particularly big safe fast artificial gravity ship to do it in but that's just fantasy . I guess its why no one lives outside of quite narrow comfort zones. But dreams are good too ! I highly doubt musks mars colony dumb idea is remotely feasible for those reasons . (i hope he is first to try it )

@@MyKharli Yeah there’s many things I’d need to overcome for something like that to happen. It’s completely founded in fantasy. I do like people who have a strong need to explore. It’s like when mankind started to go out in the oceans hoping to find another world. I’m sure they were seriously criticized and mocked. We have to start somewhere and face great risks. In the long run it’s worth it, in my humble opinion lol. Exploration is an integral part of mankind. I believe it’s in us for a reason.

@@francispitts9440 We need to explore ourselves first and realise our shortcomings and what to do about them ..id start with politics and leadership!

@@MyKharli That’s true.

You’re definitely not alone. They’re probably millions of people who would give up their life on Earth solely just to explore and see other exoplanets / solar systems. Of course it wouldn’t be risk free, and you may have serious home sickness if you didn’t realise what you had.

Agreed, just the section on Io had me hooked

Shut up! :D

Missions to Uranus.....

I'm a Titan fan!

That's right the only place I want to hear about is Uranus

@@pythonxz Europa fan boi here

Can your doctor prescribe you phentermine? I know it's basically legalized prescribed speed, but it sure would help with chronic fatigue. Or take this all natural stuff called kratom. You can find that at head shops and supplement stores. I'm sure you've probably already thought it tried these, but just incase might help if you haven't.

@@gringoguapo Appriciate the suggestions, will look into those. Thank you!

Im in a very similar boat thanks to adhd. I can watch videos like this for hours.

Yeah but the only guy playing in creative mode went afk a long time ago.

What an odd thing to say....

@@Siaynoq8 Why is it odd to be amazed by our own solar system?

I agree. Jupiter never disappoints.

@@alrightyru me too, but man, what a discovery--both--channel & topic

Welcome here friend :) RU-vid's algorithm is not always fair but sometimes bring more people to the party.

I think the problem is that their titles always sound rather clickbaity. That gives the wrong impression to people not knowing the channel already.

@Kryptonian I did watch both of them! Can't wait for more missions to the moons and not only the planets.

especially at the darkest moments of his trial at the hands of the church

Well said

Save your pennies and get an R2 revolution imager. About $300.00 and you get live video on the little monitor it comes with. You'll have control over exposure times, color saturation and a bunch of other stuff. The enhancement of deep sky objects is amazing.

@@booklover6753 I already have a VX mount and can track DSOs with extended exposures if I wish and have. I drive up to Bortle 2 skies about 20 miles north of town. I still prefer to look at the planets, Sun and stars myself because if I want to look at really good views of space I can use the Hubble catalogue or of probe pictures. There is a video by Backyard Astrophotography where he took a picture of Hubble's famous Pillars Of Creation in the Eagle Nebula. His photo matched Hubble's except for some blurriness cause by the atmosphere. Really impressive, but it took all night. For $260 I acquired two filters, a Beta H filter I see nebula pretty well with and with an Olll oxygen filter I can get decent views of Planetary Nebulae too. They are misnamed because when first seen in the 18th Century that's what they thought they were, they didn't know they were remnants of star novae.

@@MountainFisher Cool beans. I used a 6" F5 newtonian on a clock driven equatorial mount for years. My current telescope is way too heavy to transport easily (10" Meade LX 90 ACF UHTC). I put casters on the tripod legs so that I can roll it out of the garage on to my driveway. I use 25 feet of cables to USB the autostar controller into a laptop at a desk in my garage and control the drive with planetarium software. I started out using 1 1/4 and 2 inch eyepieces with both narrow band and broad band filters, but the light pollution at my house is just too heavy. You see, a larger aperture scope, while making deep sky objects more visually accessible, also picks up more light pollution and amplifies it as well. It took me a long time to save up for the telescope and eyepieces and the light pollution was a real problem. The R2 imager has built in software that filters out the light pollution for you without using any add-on filters. I should also mention that I use the camera at prime focus with a .5 focal reducer to widen the field of view. For a cheap real time astronomy video camera, it works amazingly well. I have seen hundreds of galaxies, nebulae, globular clusters and so on. Viewing the double cluster in Perseus reveals hundreds of individual stars that twinkle beautifully even though the field of view only allows me to see one cluster at a time. One night I was looking at the Dumbell nebula and noticed the image starting to degrade a little. I got up and walked out to see what was up and realized that the camera was still picking it up though light cloud cover! By the way, planetary nebulae come from old red giant stars expelling their atmospheres rather non violently as they die and contract, although they do resemble super nova remnants. My camera also picks up the white dwarf in the center of the ring nebula. I'm glad to have a chance to talk to another amateur astronomer. Best wishes and dark skys to you.

@@booklover6753 I live in Bortle 4 , but a ratio of 2.5 where a little further North is Bortle 4 with a .711 ratio. It is definitely darker there. Bortle is a fade from 4 to 3 as the 4 with .711 ratio is close to 3. Light pollution isn't a huge issue where I live except the Light Dome to the East, not to mention mountains so rising Mercury right now requires a drive. Best wishes to you.

@@booklover6753 How close to Denver do you live by the way?

Hello old timer! I was actually thinking about going back to the Mars series. Maybe I'll have a look at that this month.

@@astrumspace yay thank you bruda. By the way how are you and your family? It's been a long time since we catch up. You take care and stay safe.

You should try out space engine

Isn’t that sooooo true!

Imagine when Galileo Galilei saw them the first time.

I think that the ice sheet on the surface would block a lot of the radiation from Jupiter. It's kinda like the idea of living in lava tubes on the moon
