Thank you I downloaded this

Compare this to the morass of crystals, horoscopes, ghost legends and rosary beads. What a contrast.

What's scary is the number of people who think that this is all a (*seriously* complex) hoax (involving *far far far* too many people even to be carried out, let alone maintained.) They firmly believe that NASA, etc, are just making up the whole "Earth is a globe in space surrounded by other planets" thing. (The Moon landings being a hoax is a given for those people.) It's scary. Very much so. I've never figured out what the point of such a hoax would be, but such people don't need, you know, logic, let alone a reason.

Julie Ritt perharps, you should check on psychology of myths - it will get much clearer for you as to the purpose of creating myths in human history and how human belief systems operate in general ;-) Your very own 'channel logo' contains two popular myths ('women belong in kitchen' and 'men strive to be judged by women as to their sexual performance') - now think for a moment: who were the greatest beneficiaries of those myths in 20th century? What businesses and society governing institutions did benefit from spreading such myths? ;-) The answer will become obvious to you as you finish reading this sentence.

very good, thank you!

my favorite mission :)

Thanks.

Great lecture, Dr. Porco, thank you for the share. I have always been a fan of yours. Your contributions to astronomy have been amazing. I am very proud to be part of the Porco family. I would also like to invite you to watch/listen to one of my original songs: "The Dance of Life" by Dr. Head & the Vertigos (KZread) I think you can relate to the song. Be Well.

When are we going back to enciladus?

Skip 3 minutes for the speaker. She's that qualified 🤔.

01:06:59 That speech with that picture.. Please become president of the world.

I wonder if that moon has the the consistency of cuddle bone. You know, those things you put in your birdcage.for your bird to sharpen its beak on, {so I am a little crazy, excuse me, please!}

The rings of Saturn are very thin and settled. On our Earth there are tons of impacts of asteroids and comets etc. These intruders also must be there in and around Saturn system. If so then there must be disturbances observed in rings plane. Please clarify.

According to Carolyn in another lecture they did indeed observed the imprint of such a collision during the 2009 edge on studies. From those images they deduced that an impact occurred in mid 1983.

I want to go skiing on Enceladus. It looks as if the aliens have already prepared loipes there.

she looks like Roslin from BSG

What would an organic compound without oxygen be like on what we have on Earth? Maybe tar.

Thank you for posting the vid. I enjoyed the first part of this lecture - imagery at most... I really believe honorable Dr. Porco should focus more on scientific stuff and less on those speeches of 'unique species' )

I don't see evolution. I see God's wisdom, creativity, and awesome power.

What's "new and sexy in astronomy"? Right off the bat she misinforms us with the old school proclamation of an ordinary star in an ordinary galaxy. She seems like a nice person, but my understanding is that among the astronomical community there is a general consensus of our solar system and sun being of rare composition and type.

+Jesse Back If that were the case, the scientists at SETI would be extremely thankful, because they would know exactly what to look for. The only unlikely part of our solar system is that Earth exists in the 'Goldilocks zone' of our sun. I'm fairly sure we have about 1.5x the average amount of planets in a solar system, but beyond that we're fairly typical as solar systems go. Our sun is smaller than average, and therefor less bright. I can't think of anything off the top of my head that specifically distinguishes it from other stars, but that doesn't mean there isn't anything like that at all.

The meaning of our existence is to glorify God.

She's a terrible speaker, but she prepared a fine lecture.
