Why shouldn’t we name a crater after Scott Manley?? We really need to recognize how much science educators have had an impact on the general public since the advent of the internet. There have always been fabulous discoveries in science but, for a long time, only a few specialists could appreciate them. The number of people who’ve been able to enjoy the marvels of science has been greatly multiplied because of the efforts of Scott and Anton and Sabina and Becky and Matt (add on your favorites) and they should get some love from the science establishment.
There have always been books available. Best example is Carl Sagan; not only top science publications, he made many popular science books and then also his many sci-fi stories. There are many other top scientists, who go thru the effort to explain it to the general public. 🚀🏴☠️
Always love me so Mercury discoveries. I grew up thinking ot was just a planet of temperature extremes but we are finding out it’s a lot more dynamic than that.
yea I saw that too, technically everyhing is in a straight line but just warped by spacetime to make things look round? meh in 1000 years what we think of the universes shape will change, and flat universers will be laughed at. lol Its because we're just trying to put simple mathametical boxes around a dynamic beast , and these simple mathetmical boxes (models) dont do the unvierse justice and lead to ridiculouse conclusions like what what atoms were exactly doing 15 billion years ago and their exact temperature, yet we dont know whats going on in our solar system. Its like seeing the tide retreat and concluding it will disappear forever the way its going and making the maths fit that conclusion. Thats our mathematical model of the universe, and it doesnt do it justice. @@Sniperboy5551
Mercury has always been known as "way too hot" on one side and "way too cold" on the other. Finally we are learning that Mercury may actually have things to teach us. Thank you, Anton!
It's kinda weird to name craters after obscure artists when we still have so many wonderful astronomers, scientists, and science-related individuals without features named after them.
Its just naming convention by designated themes ruled by the IAU. Ie Certain planetary bodies will have a naming theme, in this case artists, authors and musicians.
@@WaterShowsProd I guarantee you it's obscure to Jamaicans as well. We have tons of scientifically related individuals, both well-known and obscure, that it seems like it would make more sense to work through first.
"Not sure what it was, but you know, I'm looking at you Jupiter." Jupiter sidels off, looking over it's shoulder, like when your dog definitely didn't have a lovely time shredding your favourite slippers. Sad-face exit stage left, hopeful wagging tail...
If the regolith on Mercury is anything like the regolith on the Moon, it probably acts as a very good insulator so the temperature might drop very quickly just a few meters or even a few centimeters down. And, that crater will always be the "Fly Safe" crater to a lot of people...
the moment i saw manley i thought oooo scott manley... i hope its from scott manley "-named manley, after the famous youtuber scott manley" i audibly gasped and was hopping in my seat. respect to anton for knowing how to mess with his fan base
Well if I had money, I'd tell you what I'd do, I go outer space to see Mercury, it's true. Crazy bout Mercury, Lord I'm crazy bout that Mercury, Gonna buy a ship to Mercury and pray it don't just explode!
Since Mercury is compared to a steel ball bearing, then shouldn't ground collapses from shrinking cause powerful quakes and reverberations within the interior and across the surface? Maybe the evidence is too subtle to extrapolate from the images. In addition, the cracking would now become fault lines. Right? Wouldn't this be considered a form of plate tectonics?
I find it odd that we think all these planets just somehow got these very specific elements on them by the crazy random happenstance of asteroids and other impacts over large spans of time. Some planets got hit with methane rocks, some got pure water, some get ammonia, some get more volatile elements, and all this happened so often in history that entire atmospheres are formed by these very specific elements.
That would be absolutely terrifying to think that mercury started its life out in the asteroid belt and Jupiter kicked it in and all of its ices are melting off the rock. Would it be possible to do a sample return mission?
Well, it was launched quite some time ago, back in 2018 and it is going to reach Mercury only by the end of 2025. So it's a bit too early to talk about "success".
I'm super sad that crater isn't named after Scott, not to detract from the Manley it is named for. I also agree that you should get one too Anton. You and Scott are wonderful science communicators and deserve the recognition. There are enough craters to go around.
Very informative video Anton! Kudos! However you kind of mis-spoke about Jupiter and Saturn. Jupiter does have moon Io make aurora with a discharge that is pulled to Jupiter's poles, but so do Europa & Ganymede - and even Callisto shows a bright spot at Jupiter's poles when it is inside Jupiter's magnetic field, which it sometimes isn't. Moreover each of the moons show some aurora effects in ultraviolet all over their surface, except for Ganymede which has a magnetic field of its own, so it has polar aurora. Saturn's Aurora is mostly from its moon Enceladus, which shoots off geysers/cryo-volcanoes from the south pole, part goes into the E ring, but part gets charged into an ion and dragged to Saturn's poles along with the Sun's solar wind and makes aurora there. Enceladus and the other moons have not shown any aurora, except perhaps Titan where Voyager seemed to show some, but later Cassini which was there longer did not see it.
Moho is my favorite place in KSP. True, it's tricky to catch it, but there are a lot of transfer windows and no problems with electricity and the Sun is BIIIG. I can't wait for Bepi Colombo to park around Mercury so that we can enjoy all the views and new knowledge.
What if the current Theia-impact-forming-Earth-and-Moon theory is wrong? What if a larger body clipped a larger Earth, leaving a chunk of both planets mantles to form the Moon while the remainder of Theia, now core-enriched, continued on to settle in a near-Sun orbit to become what we now know as Mercury?
I wonder if Mercury is habitable near its core. Less gravity would mean less heat. Maybe there is a goldilocks layer within? Maybe the surface is too hard and hot to get through, though.
That could be a new way to detect planets if they aren't doing that already. The Auroras of certain types of planets appear to give off different properties that could potentially provide evidence of water planets. Just my curiosity and I don't know if I'm wrong or right.
OutsideSolar System Aurora Brown Dwarf LSR J1835+3259 - This failed star/giant planet 20 light-years from Earth has shown aurora. Astronomers have it has a strong radio signal that varies with the aurora light, so the brown dwarf is believed to have a strong magnetic field. The cause is uncertain.
This fact, that the planet Mercury continuously is shrinking, means that the velocity of the planet's spinning it becomes faster over time and this is the reason which is driving the paradox over the Mercury's trajectory. The paradox will be well described by Newton's law if we improve the law, and it works not only to measure gravity with the amount of the mass of the object but also if the equation will be improved and with the insertion of the mass distribution for an object. Then the complicated math of Einstein, as and his philosophy about the time-space fabric will not be necessary!
"It's typical that humans should focus on a planet named after The God of War and ignore one named after The Messenger God." I can imagine an alien saying this in a 1950s Sci-fi movie. 😆
Because Helium is so light, does the presence of noticeable amounts of Helium in the exosphere imply that is relatively recently released from the surface?
Is the composition of Mercury not completely different from that of the moon? The moon is more similar to the crust of Earth while Mercury consists mostly of iron and nickel like the Earth's core. The similar appearances of the moon and Mercury are only superficial.
The brilliance of Wakontonka, the sun god, who commands you to stay hidden in the dark, commands you, to bow your heads when you come into his presence. Wakontonka. The sun god,
It is possible but not very probable. The amount of energy it would take to accelerate mercy to a mars orbit and then to slow it down to actually orbit Mars is about 10²⁰. Maybe even 10²⁵...
Some astronomers think Jupiter is already moving Mercury thru resonance, that is the explanation why it has such an elliptical orbit. In 3-4 billion years Mercury may pulled into Venus's or Earth's orbit - or may be thrown out of the Solar System.
