How Understanding The Planet Mercury Tells Us The Secrets Of The Universe | Cosmic Vistas | Spark
Ғылым және технология
Move over, Mars. Thanks to NASA missions like Mariner and Messenger, scientists are finally learning the secrets Mercury has to reveal. Take an in-depth look at a planet, one of the closest to Earth, that has eluded astronomers for centuries.

Season Four of Cosmic Vistas zooms in to focus on some familiar solar bodies within our reach. How well do we really know our celestial neighbours such as Saturn and Mars? What do we have yet to learn? With the help of satellite technology and the incredible shuttles that put them into orbit, many questions about our solar system's past and future are finally being answered by science.

So well explained, thank you. This is an excellent video.
Amazing Mercury video footage and the secrets about every explanation. 😍👌 Many thanks to the great channel for the amazing video. ❤️

Scientists should really try and send a A Robt, to Mercury ice spot. It is.difficult to believe a super hot planet, could have a ice spot.
Fascinating👍 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The poles of Mercury will be an excellent rain gauge or in this case 'ice guage' to help settle the question of whether Earth formed with it's water or it was deposited later by comets.

Good question but it’s already been answered and is a moot point. Remember on the first day god said “let there be light and there was light” then eventually, I forget what day he got round to it but he must’ve sorted us out with water as well. Would be so much more interesting if it was comets and all these other whacky ideas - it’s a shame but I love to dream.
Fascinating. Thank you very much for the amazing video
AWESOME...THANKYOU FOR SUCH VIDEOS......
Part two: Mercury was once the moon of Venus. Venus is ~ 66.7-67.7M miles from the sun. Mercury is ~ 29-43M miles from the sun (very elliptical) Average distance = 36M miles This means that on its last few orbits around Venus, Mercury must have evolved tidally outward to a point somewhere around 24M miles from Venus (~43M miles from the sun, at the top of the current orbital ellipse). Long before that moment, Mercury and Venus would have evolved tidally into a stable 1:1 spin lock. Through mutual tidal forces, first Mercury and then Venus would have lost most of their spin and Mercury would have had to travel roughly 151M miles to orbit just once around Venus while spinning only once on its own axis. Then, one magic day, Mercury stepped over the line and began to fall towards the sun, picking up some speed as it went, creating the ellipse it now follows. Finally this new speed/centrifugal force tension balanced out, establishing Mercury in its own elliptical orbit somewhere near where it is today, while gradually, through increasing tidal forces from the sun, slowing its axial spin even more making it travel significantly farther in miles per spin-day than it did at Venus, until it reached the next known stable spin-lock--well defined by orbital mechanics--that of three orbits around the sun to two spins on its own axis.
Ivans a awesome announcer for these type of videos.THANKS
Great effort 🔥🔥
the video information is great. the unnecessary music is very distracting. focus on the facts instead of background music or tune it down.
7:51 guy: mercury was _finally_ getting its moment in the sun. Murcury already being right next to the sun for most its adult life: shaddap 🥵🔥☀️
Imagine how the scientists and world would react if when they finally image mercury they find it is full of Germans with towels on deck chairs soaking up the sun.
I feel like the music is a tiny bit too loud compared to the narrator.
Wow 👍🇬🇧
Mercury would be a perfect place to securely hide vast amounts of gold.

In the science lab, I asked an astronomer if he would join me for a pint at the local, but he said he was happy where he was, playing with his balls!

It's a shame that Chernobyl and Fukushima didn't have access to these anti radiation/temperature cloths... These craters can also be created by electric discharges: see The Electric Universe, Suspicious Observers... There are many different explanations for phenomena, but narratives can be very powerful...see Covid 🤫
Part one: Mercury was once the moon of Venus. Mercury's and Venus' spin together with the tidal forces raised by their orbital relationship caused volcanism/tectonic action on both bodies. Eventually, Mercury evolved outward, just as our moon is doing, until it reached a point where the Sun's gravity overcame that of Venus. At that point Mercury escaped into its own orbit in a 3/2 spin lock with the Sun. This process robbed Venus of most its spin, setting up, in fact, a slight retrograde spin. The decreasing tidal forces caused the volcanos to die out, the molten cores to spin less, causing both bodies to lose most of their magnetic fields. The evidence for this is ubiquitous. Denial is futile.

Hey Kerry, wow you got it. Well almost. Mercury is still Venus' moon and it will always be as it is still orbiting Venus, just not in the way one would expect. I published a paper stating exactly that almost a decade ago. You're correct to state that Mercury recessed from Venus similarly to how the moon is still recessing from Earth. What's more is that I propose that Venus' core originated from within Mercury and Earth's core originated from within the moon. Cheers.
Consider that Mercury is actually Venus' moon.
👍
How do all these crazy planets spin around out flat earth so well? XD

Where is the center of bang in the bigbang? What is in there now?
Alien star, not alien sun.
How bright is it on the surface of Mercury, in Lux? Seems nobody knows.
I dont know why people are so keen in spending so much money and efforts to find things that doesnt make sense at all. It would be better to spend that money to make earth better
Mercury is not a planet it is the moon to Venus.
I dont know rick, I get it it's data. But just speak plainly dhure if some planets origin just by some calculations 😢

Thank God for creating and putting all these celestial bodies in their perfect order, without which the life He created on this Earth would not be possible.

Want to know the origins of our solar system and life itself? Simply read the book of Genesis, along with the other 65 books of the Bible. Scientists are constantly discovering many things and places on this Earth that correlate to the story's told there.

The Bible isn’t literal. I thought most people were sort of getting that by now. It’s literature and mythology , both important things. But to pretend Men thousands of years ago were describing LITERALLY the science of the beginning of everything is just insanity. Mythology holds vast wisdom and humanity, but it is not science. P.s. Correlation is a very tricky thing, and it will lead you to believe things more fervently than you already do.

I’ll grant you that many stories in the Bible were told for generations so they more than likely happened in some form. Greek mythology and Indian texts also have many stories that talk about other earthly beings. The Sumerians and the Annunaki
Couldn't all those billions of dollars been used on something that actually helped something?
Pure speculations and lots and lots of bullshit.
I don’t know why we wasting so much money to explore so far out in space when they could make our world better and safer and feed the poor bc we all know there is no one else out there apart from us and all those other planets are there for the purpose for our earth just like everything on earth is for the purpose of human kind

must be a miserable existence believing that we can't do both. it's politics, not the money ,my friend. exploration has provided greatly for humanity in science and research and of course humanity's future.

Look into the “serendipitous technological discovery” aspect of space exploration. It has lead to SO many technological advances we benefit from today. The fraction of GDP spent on space exploration is NOT the cause of “world hunger”. That is a complicated problem that people like to simplify to appear wise and impressive. It’s ignorant.
