Hi everyone, Alex here, welcome to the remaster of the video that made this channel possible! It was my first ever video to take off. I've come a long way since then, and wanted to revisit this amazing planet with updated visuals and audio. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who joined Patreon. Your membership is what allows me to keep Astrum what it is, and not what the algorithm looks for. bit.ly/4anEb5u

I have a theory on how the Milkyway came into existence now.

Whenever I think of how Earth looks to other planets, I think of Carl Sagan’s “pale blue dot” quote, and everything in my life feels so small and meaningless. Instead of feeling depressed or horrified, it calms me, and helps me distress a little just knowing how insignificant we are in the grand scheme of the universe.

Many years ago a friend of mine got himself a telescope. When he first trained it on Mars, the planet was experiencing a global sand storm. He described it as an orange fuzz ball. We both got better views later, and could make out features like the polar ice cap. I'm totally glad I got that opportunity.

Love the remasters for this series. We know so much more than we did back then and it gives you a chance to make a video of higher quality. I’m pretty new to this channel but it’s become one of my favorites and I’ve gone back and watched your older videos, especially about stars. I find stars and light to be very fascinating. It’s amazing too the images we can get now from Hubble, modern ground telescopes, rovers, and probes. We can see the wonders from space from our own little neighborhood here around the sun all the back to the distant past of the universe. There’s so much beauty on this planet that it’s a marvel to see the beautiful features of places we most likely won’t get the opportunity to go to. Keep up the good work

Mars will always be near and dear to me. The landing of the Pathfinder/Sojourner mission was a big part of my first date with my now-husband, and sometimes I go back and look at the little collage I made - this was the 90s, it must have taken me hours to find and print out two dozen different images of the rover and of Mars. Good times! I'll always be fascinated by this planet and your videos in particular have been a joy for me. Whatever you choose to remaster next, I'm here for it!

Thanks for the update, new imagery is brilliant.

Great remaster! My favourite part of the video is still: "Let me show you an example." *loads up beam ng*

Amazing video like always, Astrum! i'd LOVE to see a revisited video of Neptune, my favourite planet! keep up the great work!

I love your channel, I love the videos, the information and your voice the words of presentation. It is so fascinating. Every video ist a work of art in science.

Thank you so much Alex! Your presentations are always wonderful and your enthusiasm is infectious. I need to mention a fact that is never covered in the presentations of Mars in anyone's video but is truly astonishing. There is so much water on Mars that if the surface water was melted including the hidden glaciers it would comprise an ocean of about hundred and 15 feet deep over the entire planet. Could you please and a feature video give this theme sometime? From Wikipedia:A bundant water ice is also present beneath the permanent carbon dioxide ice cap at the Martian south pole. More than 5 million km3 of ice have been detected at or near the surface of Mars, enough to cover the whole planet to a depth of 35 meters (115 ft).[13] Even more ice might be locked away in the deep subsurface.

I did not know that Mars had a tilt... and therefore seasons. Thank you for sharing this.

My favorite fact about Mars is the crater that's so deep the atmospheric pressure gets high enough during certain times of year for liquid water to be stable at the bottom. Hellas Planitia I think is what it's called.

My favorite fact, which I just learned, thanks Alex, is the reason Mars has that color. It also got my imagination zooming thinking about the megastructures that had to have been there to create that much rust. The Fe was mined from that used to be Grand Canyon size, crevasse Valles Marineris. That's where all the oxygen hiding. When we go back and start building again, more iron we use, easier it'll be to breathe. Now that's one helluvan incentive right there. Lol

@tylerdurden3722

8 күн бұрын

This fact is even better. Some rocks/sand have iron in it's chemical composition. And when you expose those rocks to oxygen the iron "rusts" and the rocks/sand turn red...just like here on earth (iron is the most abundant metal in the crust). If you've ever seen a place with reddish sand and/or rocks...those rusted and turned red, just like on Mars. No megastructures needed...you just need Iron to be the most abundant metal in the crust...and on Mars, it's very abundant.

I love that picture of Earth and the Moon. Like you said everyone, ever is in it. Also, everywhere we have walked.

Just beautiful and fascinating. I love everything about space. So cool that i was in that photo!

Breath taking sights. Something internally still yerns to go there and experience it. However, this is as close as we can get and I feel fortunate to have lived in a time where we can get this level of access to another world.

As always, a pleasure to watch and listen too. Thanks Alex

There's an interesting fact about seasons on Mars that even most space enthusiasts don't know. Because the orbit of Mars is significantly eccentric, its distance from the Sun varies much more than the Earth. When Mars is closer to the Sun, Mars gets more sunlight, and when it's farther from the Sun, it gets less sunlight. On the Earth, the warmest and coldest times of year aren't the solstices. This is because the Earth has big oceans that take a long time to heat up and cool down. Because Mars lacks oceans, it doesn't experience this seasonal lag. On Mars, the northern summer solstice happens to line up approximately with the time when Mars is farthest from the Sun in its orbit. When the northern hemisphere of Mars points toward the Sun, summer happens, but sunlight is weaker because Mars is farther from the Sun. When the northern hemisphere of Mars points away from the Sun, winter happens, but sunlight is stronger because Mars is closer to the Sun. The southern hemisphere experiences the opposite, with weaker sunlight during the winter and stronger sunlight during the summer. The result is that some places in the northern hemisphere experience practically no seasons at all, and seasons throughout the whole northern hemisphere are rather mild. The southern hemisphere, however, experiences extreme seasons. For this reason, all missions to Mars have been to places in its north or tropics - where seasons are mild and temperatures stay relatively warm and consistent throughout the Martian year. It's easier, cheaper, and safer to send missions there because the weather is better. The south of Mars has yet to see a single mission because it's much more difficult, expensive, and risky to design a mission that could handle the extreme seasons there.

What first got me interested in space was the National Geographic articles about Pathfinder back in 1997! I was fascinated be the idea that we can control/communicate with machine sso far away. And then Pathfinder itself was even in the book/movie The Martian in 2015!

Videos of home make me happy.

I have never seen that Earth and Moon photos before. Delightful

People often talk about how the presence of a large moon stabilizes the Earth's axis. Mars does not have a large moon. Perhaps its interior is much more uniform than Earth's?

The fact about Mars that fascinates me the most is that it’s radioactive regolith can be made fertile by Mat Damon’s poo

Noice one team, lovely upload and um, arousing thumbnail

All I think about when I see Valles Marineris is Mass Effect (they used that valley's image to simulate the The Great Rift Valley on Klendagon. The "glancing blow of a powerful mass accelerator")

Imagine how crazy Earth would look dried uo and without water. Mariana trench would look like a HUGE scar and so much of the ocean would look weird

I'd like you to compare the challenges of building a community on Mars compared to a community on our Moon - excluding the time and expense of travel, but including the dangers to the crew in Earth-Mars trips, such as radiation and long-term weightlessness or spin gravity.

I like Mars. Alot!. But this video make me love it even more.

My favourite fact about Mars is that it once [likely] supported life.

Io has been revealing some interesting features. I thought some super narrow pinnacles were seen by Juno. I would like know about lava lakes in the vacuum.

The transit of Venus I saw was amazing because I was sitting in a bar watching on my tablet, thinking about the guy who sailed to another country for months to see a transit, and died before he got there.

Mars, the most interesting planet of the century, if you ask me. Could watch a 3 hour special of this one.

Fun fact: It's easier to visit Mars than to visit Venus but, it's easier to terraform Venus than to terraform Mars.

Olympus Mans has the characteristics of a lightning blister than a shield volcano. And Valis Maranaris looks like it was excavated by electrical discharge/lightning instead of any erosion with literally outflow. The entire top half of Mars is stripped bare while the southern part is a rocky wasteland.. material pulled from the upper hemisphere and redeposited to the south.. if not cast into space forever…. It’s time to start looking at things in space with tools other than just collisions and explosions.

Mars is beautiful for sure, but the more I look at it, the more I see how fascinating, beautiful, weird, and interesting Earth actually is at the same time.
