That explains why Venera 14 sent data to Earth no longer than one minute and 30 seconds and Venera 13 for 30 seconds only… After that they turned to coal.
And yet everyone still says we can, should, and will colonize that instead. Wonderful. IQ of 9999999999999999+ confirmed. Might as well colonize the goddamn sun itself while we're at it.
Ill be dead, but *Ｈｅｌｌｏ， ｐｅｏｐｌｅ ｏｆ ２１１７！* I bet nothing much has changed. (Democrats vs Republicans, Black Lives Matter, offended Snowflakes everywhere, trouble in middle east is ongoing, still preparing for Brexit )
Harcix you have too much confidence in a system has only been around roughly 2 to 300 years. The time of America is not promised to last no more than any other dynasty in history. America has not been around long as we know it...
The photos from the Venera missions hits home that this is a real place with dynamics going on but with no one to observe. It's simply astounding that a machine was able to function so long whilst immersed in a combined hostile factor of superheated and compressed air at once. The Soviets accomplished something extraordinary with second rate standards of technological access.
@@indiosse They were ahead with regards to their unmanned space missions. I am wondering why the west could not offer to co-work with them and continue with such missions. I think they were actually reasonable partners when it came to science.
I can understand why they didn't, given the cold war and all. The West didn't want to end up aiding the Soviet military through sharing of guidance or computer technology, and the Soviets probably didn't want to share missile technology in the other direction. Truth be told the Soviets used to buy things in the West, or Japan, and reverse engineer what they could not develop themselves. The West did with one of the later Soviet missions to Venus, they collaborated with French scientists to send some balloons into Venus's atmosphere to analyze what was going on in the troposphere, that was in the late 80s I think. However it would make some sense to collaborate with the Russians in space exploration today, though there is a lot of bad blood from what happened over the past 25 years since the fall of the U.S.S.R. The American seemed all to happy to gloat over the failure of their former adversary in the cold war, and did very little to help the countries of the former U.S.S.R rebuild their economies, and get back on their feet. Instead they looked to make a quick buck investing in the P.R.C, which is starting to bear bitter fruit today through the Belt and Road Initiative.
@@OlegKostoglatov Our lack of the ability to understand the purposes of protectionism has caused America and the world a lot of trouble. Our investors over the decades have permanently tangled up our reputation with Central America in the 1800s, enabled German rearmament in the 1920s, and is enabling ChiCom expansionism today. Sadly enough, the desire to prevent the transfer of rocket (and thereby ballistic missile) science to the USSR has caused us to scuttle a lot of knowledge. To figure out the Pioneer Anomaly, we had to recreate a model of the probes almost from scratch, using engineers' memory and datatapes in a moldy old box under the stairs of the JPL. The blueprints had been destroyed. Nowadays, thanks to the idiot notion of using civilian software on a civilian internet for military computers, secrets are leaking out like a paper bag full of water.
Astrum hey great video very interesting. Do u know why the clouds reflecting 90% of sunlight hasn't prevented the greenhouse effect? I was thinking that the slow rotation could be part of why it's so hot as large areas are continually heated for months at a time? Also do u think venus could be a captured body rather than formed with the solar system?!
Please omit the junk-mail level of distortion please, which stresses my attention, actually relaxation deficit obstructs learning thinking. As Joseph Carpenter prescribes activity as enemy to thought, but specifically it is un-pertinences which disrupt learning, conscientious task activities, everything, everyone, in every being except angels. I replay film once more for excavating your secret equalling the Venus year, and especially measured in Earth days? If any of your fanatical sacred cow defenders surrender the video-minute marking the Venus-year measurement, I will be un-religiously surprised!!
Hey Astrum, what's your favorite planet and why? My favorite planets are Saturn, because of its moons, Mars, because of its red terrain and potential for colonization, and Earth, because it's a utopia compared to the others.
What an informative video. Was interested in this planet after the recent discovery of potential life its clouds, and was pleasantly surprised to find this video!
I dont want to sound like a downer...but Venus (Goddess of Love) is a fitting name for such a planet. On the surface its beautiful and appealing, but below the atmosphere its hell and disappointment...
Perhaps the real reason is the Venus doesn't have the outer "liquid" core (like Earth and all of Gas Giants) which could generate a magnetic field. It's possible that Venus have only single solid core.
Great video, I've been working my way through your content, and have learned at least one new thing about each topic - I've been in love with space exploration since I was a young child, so finding a source for NEW information is incredible!
Yes! It meant that somehow, the force of an impact (or whatever it might be) didn't just *halt* it (1 degree thru like, a decade) but also _exceeds_ it
your videos have been very informative so far, exactly what I was looking for! I've been puttering around with writing a story in which most of the planets in our solar system are occupied, and it's cool to imagine the necessary biology for something to have to survive on a planet like venus
Wow I took the time to watch the coverage of the Transit of Venus. I didn't realize that was my only shot at it. Was a fascinating few hours and covered very well.
I stumbled across your page today and have watched 30+ videos (as the random knowledge guy) (*that I love) getting ready for my 3rd geek bowl you earned a sub! Great work! Edit: One suggestion, I would add even a km/mps title to the videos for those of us that (use a broken system)
BSJ several probes. If I remember correctly their biggest problem was, that the lensecaps would not come off the right way (or at all) so they couldn’t take photos the first 3 or 4 times 😅
Hey so I just found this channel bc I am very interested in space, I’ve spent about 3 hours skipping through other videos and they were too filled with conspiracies and questions for my liking. I really have enjoyed your videos bc you tell facts and try to show real pictures and not animated concepts. I will be bingeing all of your videos very soon. Thank you ☺️☺️☺️
This channel is really quite addictive, and your voice is calm and clear, and above all Very interesting topics rarely seen anywhere. Thanks 👍 and keep it on
Omgosh Alex , i learn so much from watching your videos and you have such an amazinly soothing and pleasant voice 😊 ... keeps me from getting bored and makes me want to listen more 😊💖 !!!
Venus' very weak magnetic field is largely due to it's slow rotation. It it rotated just as fast as the earth, the dynamo effect at it's core would have been much more stronger than it is.
Im surprised any asteroids could make it to venus surface, I mean at 30km/s it would only be in the atmosphere for a couple of seconds but still, the density is insane.
@BD, don't wander. In this video they says Venus hold an atmosfire like a tale wich is constantly pushed in the outerspace but constantly replenish by the planet so is basically looks like a tale but we cannot see it without telescopes.
Hey Astrum. I loved your astronomy videos since I've been here. Venus is maybe my favorite planet other then earth of course. My question is, what makes Mars more suitable for missions then Venus? As I've heard somewhere before, you don't need a surface of a planet to inhabit it.
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.
Very Well Done! Great narration great information and wonderful images! It’s amazing to know that our fellow citizens of the world, have landed spacecraft on Venus,And you have images of rocks and the landscape is absolutely incredible to me! Thank you so much for the video and the effort that you put in to make it such a good video!
Great video! I was wondering though, since Venus doesn't have much of a magnetospehere, how come it's atmosphere hasn't been stripped away completely yet? I mean, if you look at Mars, scientists claim the atmosphere got stripped by the solar wind. But Venus is way closer than Mars, so it must receive a lot more radiation from the solar wind. I've always wondered about this, and how we can make Venus's atmosphere less dense.
1- Gravity: Mars is much small than Earth and Venus. 2 - Ionosphere: Venus has a surprisely small and light protective ionosphere caused by the interaction of Venus atmosphere and solar wind. 3 - Huge and heavy molecular gas atmosphere: Venus atmosphere is huge and composed of lot of a heavy molecular gas, CO2, more difficult to be stripped of.
Another great video. I am making my way through your impressive backlog of videos, and have to say it... congratulations, you've done it again and surprised me. Despite being a (self described) gigantic space geek plodding my way through my seventh decade, the two images at 9:53 are completely new to me! How I've never seen those two Venera images don't know, but thank you for bringing them to my attention.
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!
Great vid! I recently discovered your channel thanks to the "top ten asterioids" vids narrated by "THE MANLEY" LOL. Subbed instantly, and i will reccomend it to my geeky friends, it presents information in a very nice way!. You should do a series about possible colonization of planets and moons, it is a very interesting topic.
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!
I have just recently discovered this channel on RU-vid and must say I have enjoyed it very much. While being an amateur astronomer myself, I already was aware of much of the information you give but the presentation, the 4K resolution and your excellent narration has made it a unique and rewarding experience. Just a tiny American, egocentric suggestion. Would you consider giving the data in Fahrenheit and miles as well as kilometers and centigrade? I'm lazy. Thank you.
I think the reverse rotation as well as the highly circular orbit can be explained by an ancient collision between two planetesimals with interfering elliptical orbits. They eventually smashed into each other and the respective eccentricities of their orbits cancelled-out.
Just a few nights ago in Florida, I noticed this very bright object in the sky and was a little alarmed by its brightness. I had never seen a star so bright, so I thought. Well, recently, I came across this and other videos on planet Venus and realized that it had to be the object that I saw. Wow, what a relief. It was only Venus.
Gr8 video! Hellish Venus has always been my personal favorite..so many varying conditions & cryptically ominous characteristics...just to walk on her for an hr would be wondrous!! 😎🌕⚡....always enjoy ur content. Excellent channel...any new ones on th horizon?
Venus used to be my favorite looking planet ever (2009-2013). What changed it was i thought that was the true looks of venus, it's very appealing and beautiful. I thought that if i grow up, i want to be the first human to go to venus and reveal its heaven looking like. In all of the sudden, a hellish looking world beneath the appealing looks change every perspective in my ambition to became an astronaut. I was scared and feared to go to venus. But it certainly doesn't change my memories to how beautiful does venus look like with the cloud. And now, my favorite planet was Mars or Titan (Saturn's largest moon) even though Titan wasn't a planet, it's the least chance to discover alien life since its atmosphere is thick and have a liquid methane and ethane and have a frozen ice of H2O. I know this doesn't even matter to you but thanks to those read it fully.
I was lucky enough to catch the end of Venus' 2012 transit. Looking forward to the next one :P Great work with these videos, I have spent all day watching them!
