- Everything you could want to know about Saturn's biggest moon, Titan. In this video we go through Titan's lakes, its volcanoes, atmosphere, and everything else that makes Titan so special.
Please note that this is a reupload, as the original was taken down through a DMCA, but a lot of people have requested for me to upload it again. I've gone through all the footage and switched out anything that might have a hint of copyright problems so hopefully this will stay up this time.

NASA just chose its next mission, Dragonfly, which will fly through Titan's atmosphere as well as land and scan the surface for evidence of life!
they mind find some microscropic bacteria but something higher then that n idk
@@cybu8383 something bigger? Finding any form of life outside of Earth would be the single greatest discovery of all time. It would completely turn the world on its head.
Carl Smith I think it would be “better” for us if we found microscopic life first. I don’t think we’re societally ready to encounter more complex life-especially potentially intelligent life.
sending probes to Saturn is a waste of time and money , its too cold to live there , you can tell the rings are frozen , maybe venus , mars , or ceres are warm enough to live around
@@camdebic1516 We could survive with huge jackets and an oxygen tank. With the thick atmosphere, we won't even need a spacesuit. If you had a wing suit, you could jump off of a hill and glide. I wouldn't mind going to Titan tbh.
I asked my science teacher in grade 7 if a moon can have an atmosphere... she said no. but i always believed :)
😭 believe little one, don't lose faith!
Sounds like she shouldn't be a science teacher
@@ExhaustedPenguin Because being wrong or not having an imagination means you can't be a teacher.
@@forgetivestuff8451 The mistake is to think you have an answer to the question, even though it is quite complex, just because you do not know an example. At least that is my impression here. So being a science teacher, being aware of what you can or do know, and what not, is quite the important competence. Much more important than a bulk of random knowledge. Because science is not about knowing, it is about providing evidence or proof.
@@nilsp9426 Duh. That doesn't mean you're never wrong.
How fascinating to just think that as we move on obsessed with our own lives, there are rivers flowing and storms happening, as real as our own life, in other worlds far far away from us.
Beautifully said.
Yes, true, I still can’t imagine how this small device landed on completely unknown moon
I’m always thinking this. Hundreds of trillions of planets which I know have life. All existing at once. So beautiful.
I also think it’s amazing that humanity’s come far enough that we’ve been able to touch other planets with unmanned vehicles. Somewhat related, but I also think it’s amazing that something basically all humans have seen - the Moon - was relatively recently travelled to by actual humans. All our ancestors could ever do was just dream about what it would be like there, while we even played golf on the moon :)

Imagine running away from lava, except that instead of incinerating you, it would freeze you solid... That is @#$%ing fascinating!
Due to the low gravity and dense atmosphere, it would be incredibly easy to send a flying drone to titan. It would cost such little energy to keep flying that it could get all its power from a nuclear isotope and keep flying for many years. It could probably scan the entire surface in great detail.
@@aaronwalcott513 its being done right now!
MeltingSun Tell me more 😍
Maybe it could use small fans to capture and store gases to use as a pressurized propellant as well.
@@Nickgaming2027 no matter what device you would use to capture and pressurize the gas, it would cost the drone more energy than the newly stored gas could put out. It would be a waist of energy.
Look at it now, you're a genius!
The thing that fascinates me the most about Titan is that it’s not only geologically active, but it appears to also have geological cycles similar to Earth Systems (I guess we would call them “Titan Systems” in this case), which arguably can be seen as a sign of life. The fact that Titan also has an atmosphere reminiscent of the early Earth also further suggests microbial life. We’re living in a really exciting time in astronomy and I hope the Dragonfly mission is fruitful!
I doubt that there could even be microbial life at that cold temperatures.
Tardigrades have been known to survive over 2 weeks in space, there is life in the Mariana trench. There are huge multi cellular organisms named "penguins" in Antarctica. I doubt that life won't find a way to thrive in Titan...
Titan will be a great place to colonize in the future being the 2nd most hospitable place for humans in the solar system . If we have the nuclear powered spaceships to traverse the solar system naturally like a ship on the seas on earth, that would make it easier to deal with . With nuclear power to provide steady a power of electricity for the colony/domes base of operations etc , being able mass produce hydrogen and oxygen from water electrolysis in large reserves to have a steady suppy and back upp just in case . The oxygen is for breathing and oxidizer for fuel for land vehicles, aircrafts like airships and propeller planes etc, and space planes. The lower gravity will make it for air travel go a lot easier and efficient , with the hydrogen you can use it to lift a large airship fleet to transport things around and theres no oxygen in the atmosphere it wouldn't catch in flames hardly. The space planes can easily go back and forth from the other moons of saturn , having mining operations and research facilities etc to support the hub of human population on titan. With the huge access of 100's X of hydrocarbons we can make all the plastic we to for building and technology materials etc , which all the fuel you need for centuries to support a thriving colony in Saturn's system. With all the nitrogen and hydrocarbons with organic compounds in it you have all the fertilizer you need to grow large quantities of crops etc , if you recycle human, plant and animal waste you can mix that in the mix to ger better fertilizer soil. So basically once you the ball rolling on it and work out the kinks you can have functional sustainable colony. If you love nighttime style theme background with a rainy relax feel to it then this would be great for you. It would have sci-fi neon lights to light the cloudy misty sky , it would feel like time has slowed down with a rainy lazy day atmosphere. This just a few of the things thats cool about Titan.
Oh man, I would love a series on the solar systems moons!
WELL GUESS WUT THERE IS THIS IS INNNN A SERIES
Stay off the pot, dude.
He should do an episode of my special moon, Ganymede!
@@tarashivakumar445 let's all be honest. Your best moons are Io and Europa, but at least you didn't suggest Callisto. Big boy Ganymede still participates in the orbital resonance dance around jupiter with Europa and Io, but Callisto decided to just orbit so far out that it just orbits on its own timetable, like it thinks it's better than everybody else. It's not. It's the most heavily catered object in the solar system, and is basically the stupidest moon in the solar system. But dude, WTF happened? Oh have more mass than the rest of the solar system combined, and you could only get 3 of the 7 good moons in the solar system, and then, none of the top 3? I mean, did something go wrong on the moon auction day, when y'all let a *rocky planet* get the second best moon?? And then that loner Nuptune grabs the 3rd best moon? Do you just not care? Do they choose you, and just hang around like groupies?
@@tarashivakumar445 moons are not property of people
My imagination has always been captivated by the idea of organisms existing in a hydrocarbon medium developing in Titan's seas. I love to think about truly alien forms of life we might encounter.
Also the magic island looks a lot like a sand bar.
How incredible would that find be? I think that is science’s most fatal flaw in their search for life in the universe… They’re looking at it from a strictly human based perspective; carbon based life. Yes, it’s the main form of life here on Earth, but just like carbon, silicon is capable of four way bonds and can sustain long molecular chains… the only difference is that it crystallizes in the presence of oxygen, but can survive much, much harsher temperatures than carbon based life. Isn’t it possible then that bacteria could exist on much colder worlds throughout the universe, the galaxy, or hell, even throughout our solar system? Maybe silicon based life exists on Titan, it could subsist on liquid methane/ammonia/some other compound and emit a totally different byproduct? We are strictly searching for carbon based life that subsists on liquid water, must be in the habitable zone around its planet’s star, breathes oxygen, etc. scientists are simply looking for EARTH based life on other planets. Life as we don’t know it could be vastly different from how we understand it… And I think it would be beneficial in the long run to begin looking for life in other forms!
If I'm correct, if life were to be on titan it would be very slow due to the extremely cold temperatures
The probability of life might be so low, that even in the trillions of planets that exist they would all be void of living organisms. In fact, it could be so low that even in billions or quadrillions of Universes their would only be life on 1 planet in 1 universe which would be us. That's assuming multiverse exist, if not that we are likely alone. We have confirmation bias since we exist, we assume other life may exist. However, we can ONLY exist here on Earth so we have a 100% chance of living here and no where else.
@@Pixel000id argue that as long as that alien life form has some way to move around and flow some form of energy (im assuming they wont have the same blood flow system) around their body, they will likely be able to walk around on it
I think space fish would've been just as cool
I'd LOVE to actually go to Titan, and walk on its surface! It would be such a mysterious and fascinating world, with so many things to explore! I wouldn't know where to start! What a beautiful moon! Thank you, Astrum!
The hardest part would be getting there. With current propulsion methods, it would take more than a year to reach the saturnian system. But if you could get there, Titan would be well worth the visit.
@@suthinscientist9801 Probably closer to 4 years..
@@suthinscientist9801 More like 6-7 years to get there...
More like 30-100 years
Direct transfer would take 3-5 years, gravity assist could take 10-14 years depending on how you do it.
Good news! This is the reupload for the Titan video that was taken down about 3 months ago. I've gone through all the footage and switched out anything that might have a hint of copyright issues so hopefully this will stay up this time. I never did find out why it was taken down the first time. A lot of you have been asking for this to be reuploaded and the channel has grown a lot in three months so I'm sure some of you new subscribers won't have seen this before. Thanks!
Hi Alex! Great video -- you helped me learn some much about this awesome moon. I'm surprised you didn't mention APL's Dragonfly proposal for NASA's New Frontiers Program! APL hopes to send a quadcopter to explore Titan's surface... which may be one of the coolest unmanned space missions yet. It's in competition with another proposal, CESEAR (headed up by Cornell University). Learn more here about Dragonfly here... dragonfly.jhuapl.edu/index.php and th-cam.com/video/mk1zVxwq7O4/w-d-xo.html . Funny enough, I worked on this logo and website for this proposal! So, I'm very biased :P Assuming NASA chooses Dragonfly, you'll see a real mission to explore Titan sooner than expected!
Seriously, who would claim a copyright on this type of videos? Is it possible to contest the claim?
@@vdiitd youtubes copyright claiming system can be easily abused, it's not transparent and it's very hard to challenge for small channels and even bigger ones.
Astrum okay, this is epic
@@butterfly_boy99 youtube copyright system is pretty abusable.
I was amazed when you mentioned the need for merely some warmth and an oxygen mask to be able to go to the surface. Usually you can't go anywhere, outside Earth, without a space suit, so this was a pleasant surprise
Well... "some warmth" is a bit of an understatement. The temperature there is -180 °C. You'd need more than some coats. Also, that oxygen better be heated as well, unless you want to freeze your lungs.
Basically...
A space suit is still the way to go. It just doesn't need to be pressurized.
@@henrycgs dammit
@@thesolbusaur4693 Ironically, exposure to titan's pressurized atmosphere would actually kill you much faster than exposure to the vacuum of space due to how rapidly you'd lose heat. So while the pressure of the planet is nice, meaning you'd merely need to protect yourself from the cold, this actually presents a greater challenge then simply protection from depressurization. Its relatively easy to keep a space station warm in a vacuum but to keep a moon base warm with 1.45 atmospheres of pressure at -180 degrees, that would be tough! Power failure = death.

The giant planets Jupiter and Saturn moon system
reminds me of two small solar systems inside a bigger one well that’s what I think it looks like anyway 👍.
Yeah thinking Jupiter is a failed star, this is a good compareson :D
@@fallendown8828 yes I’ve always believed that as well ,because it gives out more heat then it receives from the sun it’s like it never ignited into a star .
@@raybilverstone2066 though jupiter isnt considered a star it is the basis used to classify Brown Dwarfs or "failed stars". Jupiter, like our sun is comprised of hydrogen gas and it is larger than brown dwarfs we've seen but the one thing that holds it back is that it is not as massive as an actual brown dwarf. The minimum requirement is being about 15 times that of jupiters mass, Basically he is not dense enough to be considered failed star enough but he does help us find others :)
The animation of Saturn in the sky 4:40-5:00 is so beautiful that I had to watch it several times over. Sublime.
Isn't NASA funding a mission to Titan? A RTG powered octocopter, that can fly around for 24 hours after recharging for 24 hours. I think I heard this in a Scott Manley video.
Special EDy i think it was a part of a competition for funding, but it might have lost
It was one of a number of proposals for Titan missions, alongside others like a boat that would drift along one of the lakes.
Sadly in these days of increasingly lower funding for space exploration, Titan has been sidelined in favour of missions to the Jovian moons. We could be waiting quite a long time for another look at this remarkable world.
It's not forgotten though, and it's time will certainly come.
@@ValentineC137 I am a year late but still dragonfly won and we are going back
CountScarlioni Dragonfly won and is scheduled for takeoff in 2027. It’ll arrive 2035. :)
Yes the Dragonfly mission was selected.
I'm very happy that Astrum community is increasing and thank you Alex for more and more enthusiastic informative content. I'm very excited about stand alone missions for both Titan and Europa.
Dude you video's, level of detail, content, your narrating and everything are just absolutely insane. Amazing work man. You put large scale production shows to shame. I would rather watch your content anytime compared to any of the big production companies. Keep it up.
FACTS!!!!!!!!!!
I think it's because he gives a personal touch. It's not just fact presentation and superlatives, but sharing of amazement. The production quality is similar, but this makes it much more interesting and relatable.
I had a very strange dream about Titan. I was in charge of the Huygens probe, and we landed in a lake (I suppose Lake Kraken:) A huge creature rose from the depths and swallowed to probe whole. A disappointed groan rose from the crew. But both the lake and the creature were transparent to radio waves and we were getting a good signal. I asked, "Where is the best place on this world to study it's biology?"
Then I woke up.
Does this qualify as science fiction? It was a dream...
Looks like a decent short story with a plot twist.
The thought of a giant space monster dragging a space probe down to the bottom of a space lake and the guys in mission control just being disappointed is really funny to me.
I dreamed I went to school naked once.
Well now NASA is going to go there with the dragonfly mission ;)
In 20 years
@@domenicobulzis4397 in 15 years but that's better than nothing
Good luck. We are so unprepared for a mission of that magnitude. If we do succeed, wow that would be a huge achievement for Humanity.
@@sonnyburgess2510 It's literally harder to get a drone to fly on earth than it would be on titan. and no it wouldn't be a huge achievement, i could roughly draw you a sketch that be pretty accurate to what it would take to fly in titans atmosphere. Costs, logistics, politics, and materials surrounding the project are complicated, the vessel itself is just a half boat half flying drone equiped with instruments to measure different things. NASA just has a full slate, they pushed it back that far because they are literally busy with other projects such as starlink and starting lunar colonies, which is a lot more complicated then sending a drone to a random moon.
@@sonnyburgess2510 It wouldn't be too much of a stretch considering we've already sent a lander there
Well, even if this a reupload, I still really enjoy this episode!
kitty!!!
Love how you go as far to demonstrate the density on other objects. Really goes that extra mile to put into perspective what it may be like out there.
Just yesterday I was talking about what our favorite celestial objects are with a good friend and I got totally hyped up over Titan! Thank you for your videos and research :)
List of favorite moons (my opinion)
1. Our Moon
2. Titan
3. Phobos
4. Deimos
5. Triton
6. Europa
7. Ganymede
8. Dione
9. Mimas
10. Io
Enceladus would be a great addition 😌
Our moon is boring sh*t.
My list is:
1. Titan
2. Europa
3. Io
4. Triton
5. Enceladus
6. Charon
7. Our moon
8. Ganymede
9. Callisto
10. Lapetus
I do wonder tho: we’ve always referred to The Moon as just “The Moon”. Should it have its own name? Other heavenly bodies are named after gods and such but then there’s just “The Moon”.
@@twelved4983 maybe Luna, after the Roman goddess of the moon
First Name Last Name it is called luna, but its debatable
I love how it is so similar yet completely alien compared with our own planet in so many ways
Very rare you hear how passionate the narrator is in what they're talking about... Thank you again!
Amazing video! Was fortunate to catch the first time and it's just as good the second time. Thank you again for all the hard work that you put into your short docs. It shows & is extremely entertaining! Looking forward to see the rest of your docs. In this series...
You forgot another reason why Titan has such a substantial atmosphere: It’s really cold there, meaning the gas molecules move more sluggishly, which gives a small body like Titan a chance to develop such a thick atmosphere.
But Venus also has a thick atmosphere.

It's amazing to know that this image IS one of Titan's actual surface! Just knowing that this is a place we could go to for research reasons or any reason; once atmospheric and travel restrictions are overcome and conquered. Probably by 2120 by which time I'll be dead and buried unfortunately. Honestly not trying to be negative or dark, just wish like hell we could easily travel around within our solar system. That would be absolutely amazing!

Cassini was amazing, the fact that they dropped with a parachute filming is incredible, fascinating how the project filmed a moon of another planet was a great success.
Always great dedication and beautiful photos! Thank you so much.
Amazing video. I'm particularly fascinated by the lakes and how large and deep they are. Great job.
This is a great channel! There are good channels but this one is great.
Not only is your voice exceptionally clear and pleasant and easy to comprehend, we can stop the videos at certain illustrations for more clearly presented and exciting data. And the graphics are just as professional. Way to go, thumbs up!
As someone who lived in Ontario I’m real proud that we have two Lake Ontarios one here on earth and another one on Titan

No, But I’m glad I live here
Made my Saturday morning! My favorite moon by far
I heard that Titan disappeared when those mysterious triangles were discovered in our system
Yes, indeed. Pour a cold on out for Titan, Mercury, Mars, and Io.
I wish nessus traded with titan or io, those were the best locations, every time I look at the map now I don't know where to go, I just get bored

@@coda56 it's so true, everything now is pretty boring. Nessus is pretty boring and the moon and cosmodrome are basically recycled from D1. I hope they bring the zones back somehow. I kind of miss Mars.

Great video, I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to the next video in this series, keep up the awesome work 👍
I just found your videos and I love them! I named my cats after moons. They are called Titan, Ganymede and Callisto. I will send the links to your videos to my son, so he can show them to my granddaughter, as she also loves space. Thank you for making them.
Yes, everything I wanted to know about Titan. Presented superbly. Thank you.
If Huygens had landed on the right spot of the moon at right time it would have encountered the epic battle for the time stone!😆😆😆😆
Actually, truth is stranger than fiction. While our Titan may not be in the MC universe, it has plenty of amazing properties that will make exploring it very exciting!
...Get out of here.
This is not that titan! XD
The Titan Thanos comes from is a planet somewhere else in the Milky Way, our Titan is a snowball covered in farts.
Abraham Aguilera how dare you
Love your videos Alex and been really excited about this one!
definitely my favorite world in the solar system, other than earth. Most people may think that to be a boring favorite but I truly love my home, earth is the most beautiful to me by far. Though I am just mainly talking about the planet itself, the inhabitants of the world have some behavioral issues they need to work out

Thanks so much for all of your fabulous videos. Top Notch professionalism keeps me coming back. 👍🏻
Loving this channel.
Thank you for your service!
I remember a short fiction of two spacefaring species meeting. The visitors had to wait for a long time for their ship and their suits to cool down, as their bodies were boiling hot, with lava flowing through their veins. They came from a hell-planet that would burn the natives alive, while the visitors would turn to stone without their ultra-heated suits keeping their bodies hot enough to move.
The story ends revealing the visitors being humans, stepping out into the cool drizzle of ammonia, which had just stopped boiling from the heat radiating from withon our lading vehicle, for we have melted minerals (ice) running through our veins, our bodies glowing like an edison bulb in the aliens' eyes, while ours can only see in the ultra-red spectrum.
Do you remember the name and the author of the short story? Sounds interesting.
@@Emdee5632 Found it. It's called "you wonderful lava monster" by "lord of the geeks" on a tumblr called "humans are space orcs". Usually it makes fun of human psychology, but this one males a statement about our physiology.
It actually also poses the question of "which is the fuel and which is the air?" in a world that hasn't been oxygenated like ours.
Just wanna say I really appreciate all of your videos and love all of the detail - thank you for your efforts
Supremely enjoyable. Very well paced in terms of info dumps.
Such a wonderfully inspiring object. Could hear about it for days.
Thanks for the video!
What amazing research. I wonder how many hours it took you to compile and render this. Amazing work. Thank you.

Titan was always hands down my favorite moon. Not only is it beyond impressive but changed astronomy forever. We should be grateful as well as honored to have this moon found in our solar system. Instead of our neighbor Andromeda of course, makes it easier to get to for studying.
Well said
Nice one Alex. Looking forward to the next installment of this series!! 👌👍👍
They should of named Ontario Lacus "Footprint Lacus"
Thank you Alex for this fantastic presentation.......i've watched it twice lol....you have so much to teach us fella
really great naration!!! this is the most informative vid i ever seen on Titan. great work
I cant get enough of these videos. I love space so much it is the only thing in the world that gets me going like this
The Europa Clipper is set to lunch 2023
I’m watching this when 3 days ago NASA announced its titan mission so you got it astrum
That was a truly excellent and informative film. Thanks, David.
Just found the channel and love it . . Good job mate
Keep them coming
RIP Cassini :(
Great video! You hit on just about everything except the falls in some of those dendritic rivers. I dont remember the names but Im sure the can easily be searched. My best to ya Alex.
Bring us more videos chief. Your explanations are bloody dope.
Nice one Alex, really enjoyed watching - thanks.
Enceladus is the most interesting moon of Saturn to me. I firmly believe there is life there. And that humans can survive there. There are so many places in our own solar system that might support human life. And we really need to explore them. And the sooner the better. Exploration I's what we do best. And we really need our eggs in more than a single basket. And yes good people will die in the process. Let's get busy. We have no other choice.
By far the most fascinating moon in the solar system. Love the graphic illustration of the basket balls.
Been watching a bunch of your videos. Amazing content. Favorite TH-camr for sure. Keep up the great work.
Excellent video. I learned so much, even though I knew the basics. Well done.
WOW good work with this video :) you obviously put alot of work into it thank you for that :)
agreed
Even tho this a re-upload another great video Astrum! I'm just as interested in seeing what Titan behold underneath.
Not gonna lie, Titan is pretty based.
Thank you for making this. There were a lot of great images and ideas here that you brought to my attention.
That lake at 11:00 looks like a huge footprint. 😳
I love you’re videos. I’ve seen it almost all
It would have been so cool if Ellen Stofan had gotten the go ahead for the boat to one of the Titan lakes.
How in the world hadn't TH-cam recommended your channel. What outstanding content!! Subscribed
I don't know how scientifically accurate this is, they didn't mention anything about Thanos, or the eternals, or any of the stones. Or any of that other stuff we know is on Titan
Imagine being living on Titan and observing beautiful view of saturn
Love your videos! One of my favorite channels. Keep it up!
always love your videos ! Thank you for your hard work
This is my favorite play list on the channel for sure
