VikramJeet Das that is funny

Iapetus does not have two contrasting sides because of some ancient collision. The true explanation for the different sides is actually far more fascinating. So to explain why it has a dark side and a light side I have to go on a seemingly unrelated tangent. You see Saturn has another moon called Phoebe. Phoebe is a retrograde moon meaning it orbits the opposite direction of the planets spin (and Iapetus' orbit. It has a radius of 106 Kilometers making it rather large for a moon of its type (Phoebe also has a low albedo meaning it looks incredibly dark). And you see Phoebe is constantly getting smashed into by micro-meteorites and even by other small objects in orbit around Saturn. Because the gravity on Phoebe is so weak these impacts kick up material that goes into orbit around Saturn. This material has over time formed a sort of ring of material called "The Phoebe Ring". This ring is invisible to the naked eye but has been imaged with infrared. Now, scientists have done calculations on the ring material and have discovered that material larger than 3 centimeters across will stay in place in the ring, but material smaller than that will spiral inward. And what large moon is just waiting to sweep up that material, material that happens to be much darker than the surfaces of any other moons? Iapetus! Iapetus is the furthest out of the large Saturnian moons so it's in a perfect spot to sweep up the material. As a result the material from the Phoebe ring sort of rains down on the leading hemisphere of Iapetus (AKA THE DARK SIDE) and it causes the surface to darken, the darker surface absorbs more sunlight and so the ice there sublimates and it darkens some more and the ice sublimates even more and it causes a "Run Away Darkening Effect" that has turned the leading hemisphere dark as night. And because the trailing hemisphere doesn't run into any of the Phoebe ring material it has nothing to cause it to darken and so it stays white as snow. And that how you get the Yin-Yang surface of Iapetus! There you go! That's the explanation! Two seemingly unrelated phenomena that actually are related to each other! I honestly think this is a much cooler explanation than some ancient collision anyway! (:

If gravity is less than one-fortieth the amount of gravity on the surface of the Earth, then you would not need to walk up a mountain on Iapetus. You could reach the top through a series of very long jumps! And if you tripped and fell, the falling motion would be in slow-motion, compared to on Earth, and the force of impact would be negligible. The exception would be if you happened to fall into a deep chasm. In that case, though accelerating slowly, you would ultimately achieve a sufficient velocity to cause real damage or death. But the entire fall might last minutes, rather than seconds, so you'd have a bit of time to come up with a plan to save yourself. Perhaps you could call a nearby astronaut to assist you, or maybe activate your jetpack! There is another effect to keep in mind. Since the surface of Iapetus has no atmosphere, falling objects have no terminal velocity. They just keep accelerating at a slow rate until the fall is stopped by an impact, or a countervailing force.

OK, I'm really into this now! The force of gravity on Iapetus is equal to .223 m/s², per a Google search. If we plug this number into the ke!san online calculator, located at URL keisan.casio.com/exec/system/1224835316, it would require an object on Iapetus seven minutes (420 seconds) to fall ~20,000 meters, which is the height of the highest mountain on Iapetus, and the freefall velocity would be 337 km/hour, or approximately 200 MPH. Even if an astronaut weighed four or five pounds on Iapetus, that velocity would very likely be fatal. However, if the astronaut only fell for 30 seconds, his or her freefall velocity would be about fifteen miles, per hour, which might damage the joints, assuming you landed feet-first, but you would likely survive with a great story to regale humans back on Earth!

And back to that scenario of jumping one's way up a mountain on Iapetus. I could not find an exact match, but "Cosmos: The Infographic Book of Space," located at URL cosmos-book.github.io/high-jump/index.html, estimates a 60-foot vertical jump is probable for a human on Ceres, which has a surface gravity slightly higher than the surface gravity on Iapetus. Let us say that a human could jump about seventy feet high on Iapetus, if jumping straight up. If jumping forward, my swag calculator says a person could jump about four times that distance, or cover a horizontal distance of nearly 300 feet, per jump, begun while standing still! If you have a better or more accurate way to come up with this number, please post a reply here.

No it's an ancient mega structure, a space station, that hemispheric line is as artificial as the whole damn thing. It's honeycombed with spaces, for habitation.

This guy is brilliant

The dark material on Iapetus is from the Phoebe ring. Saturn's moon Phoebe releases dust as it orbits and forms a ring. Iapetus orbits through the ring and the dust gets on the surface thus creating the dark surface.

How would it feel to skydive into the clouds of saturn?

Iapetus......what a beautiful name....only Greeks can give name to Universe......

Believe it or not, Iapetian geological features are named after characters and places in the French epic poem The Song of Roland.

This channel is everything I wanted Astrum to be!!

The massive mountain ridge almost looks centrifugally formed, if it coincides with the equator then perhaps it rotates super fast? Or maybe if the ridge doesn't coincide with the equator and/or the spin rate is low, perhaps it previously did until it was disturbed by a huge impact, explaining the stark contrast between both sides?

honestly speaking, I've got some voice issue. and, you are my inspiration. thank you. and keep up the good work.

How about Standing on Saturn's Major Icy Moons Dione and Tethys next time?

The leading side of Iapetus in its orbit is the dark side. It's quite likely that a dark material from another moon may have settled there. It's also hypothesized that the mountain chain is the result of a ring around Iapetus that settled down on the surface, as it is on the equator. Great video, as always!

What's with these obscuring blocks in the screen? Do we have to censor things that resemble the truth too much?

"That is no moon, that's a space station." -Obi wan Kenobi

1:56 That's a giant walnut

Perhaps Iapetus' largest crater is the collision point between it and a celestial body perhaps made of ice, that of whatever material(s) were floating around that region of space. Then, the ice shattered and the chunks went flying above Iapetus, later to be pulled down and consolidated by gravity into splatter marks

The geological diversity found among the many moons in each of the gas giants in our solar system is simply startling. And yet, we are not even able to imagine for a moment the mind-boggling, strange geological formations we would find on the rest of trillions of planets and moons orbiting stars within our Milky Way, and beyond.

I wonder what could be standing on Saturn's fractured and cratered major frozen moon Tethys.

These are the major moons in the solar system: Mercury - no moons Venus - no moons Earth - moon Mars - Deimos, Phobos. Jupiter - Io, Callisto, Europa, Ganymede. Saturn - Iapetus, Enceladus, Titan, Mimas, Rhea, Tethys. Uranus - Oberon, Ariel, Titania, Umbriel, Miranda. Neptune - Triton, Proteus. Earth, and Uranus are my favorite planets in the solar system. Earth is my favorite planet because it has amazing biodiversity, it is our home planet, and it has beautiful scenery. Uranus is also my favorite planet because it was discovered before Antarctica.

It depends on Iapetus orbit to determine how is it that far from Saturn and still remain locked. And yes, it's so needed to send robotic probes for a more specific analysis and study of much ignored Iapetus!!

*No Atmosphere? I'm Sad!* I've always wanted to fly, just by flapping my arms•😢 *Wait a Minute?•🤔* I'm Sad, because there's a snowball's chance in Hell, I could even get there!•😕

wooww it looks very interesting! can't wait to that moment when NASA finally find the way to fly beyond LEO and explore it.... :)

Speaking of Saturn's bicolor moon Iapetus, I wonder if that same weird natural satellite has cryovolcanoes as Titan and Enceladus or not.

The mountain wall is probably caused by the material of a ring of saturn raining down on the moon.

One more thing you know: if you stand on the Saturnian weird moon Iapetus, you'll see Saturn's spectacular rings at an angle of fourteen degrees.

Make a video about the possibility to live over the clouds of Venus.

How would it feel like standing on Kepler-186f ?

What about the "resort/laboratory' structure on the ridge? Nothing?

I think the mountain chain formation is more likely a tidal process due to the great planet...

A moon with a persona and a shadow aspect.

The darkside has a crater that looks like an Apple upside down.

I wonder what Iapetus will look like when the ice water melts during the sun's red giant stage.

The ridge on this moon makes it look like a lollipop head lmao
