Hey JMG. Don't have any comments. Just wanted to say thanks for all the videos. Hope life is treating you well.
I eagerly await for your new videos John, excitement cannot be described in words how good you’re content is. This Page definitely deserves more subscribers.
Neptune's moon Triton is another likely ice-shell moon, in addition to possessing many similarities to KBOs. Its retrograde orbit suggests it was captured by Neptune and the tidal interactions that circularized its orbit may have given it a warm subsurface ocean that could persist to this day.
If Pluto's icy geology (it seems to still be active to this day) is anything to go by its possible Neptune's gravity has pushed Triyon's activity into overdrive. It got a boost.
I will listen to this on repeat tonight as I fall asleep. As per usual when a new JMG episode drops!! Love the content brother. Learning and dreaming simultaneously.
💫😴🙏🍻
Yes👍🏻
What a surprise this late at night. Thanks JMG.
It’s pronounced jmg*
Cool episode. Nicely paced narration.
@@kkupsky6321 😭🤣🤣💀
@@kkupsky6321 no that's an abbreviation not a pronunciation.
How many planes went missing vs intentionally downing a craft
Congrats on picking fairly obscure locales. I was dreading a list that just went:
1. Enceladus
2. Europa
3. Earth
Indeed, I left them off on purpose.
Thanks John. You always deliver great content. It gets me through my night shifts and keeps me sane. Thanks again,sir.
Yah, John, thanks a lot!
I honestly wish he did hour long episodes talking by himself. The event horizon guests are hit or miss but when he does these solo minis, they're always amazing
Sounds like my kinda job....
Prolly makes you fall asleep on the job lol
Last
You always come in clutch with these uploads. These videos are immensely calming and tonight I really needed it. Thank you for creating such amazing content!
There is a video game called Barotrauma that took inspiration from this to set up their game on Europa, where humans are using submarines to travel the ocean below the ice because the surface is a violent place due to jovian radiations. There are also aquatic creatures. Its a really great game
Thank god for creators like yourself...in the midst of all this garbage on the internet these days and especially TH-cam, you come out with one interesting / amazing video after another. Videos that not only teach us but also get our creativity going and allow us all to dream like little kids again. Thank you so much.
I'd love to meet you someday and just learn what you have to teach... But I'll settle for following your channel and watching all of your videos over time as I try and sleep (been rather difficult lately) and ease my mind. Your voice and your fascinating topics of discussion make it so much more tolerable. Again, thank you.
I'm not much of a science fiction guy (I prefer straight up fantasy or actual science fact), but given how much I enjoy your videos I've decided I'm going to go ahead and purchase one of your books. I'm sure I will love it. I'll let you know what I think when I receive/finish it!
This channel is amazing! Doing amazing work and teaching us primitive apes more and more every single day. A true hero of our time.
How did you like the book?
I’m surprised neptunes moon Triton isn’t on your list John! Cryogenic as they may be, it nonetheless has volcanoes and some semblance of an atmosphere!
If Titan, why not Triton?
Sir, JMG. Ive been following your channel for many years now (and frazer cain and Issac) but idk if I’ve said it before publicly?? But this channel and event horizon’s channel are my FAVORITE space related TH-cam channels!
THANK YOU 🙏🏻
Haven't finished watching your vid yet John, but I don't need to to let you know that I love your work, thank you for all the content you've put out over the years :)
If Uranus has life on it.
You should probably take a bath. 🛀
Your vids are great. Educational and entertaining.
Yep
Wouldn't it be great if _all_ these places harboured life?! What would _that_ do to both the Drake equation and the Great Filter?
I thought there could be simple microbial life on the icy bodies of the Kuiper belt. If so it could be a genuinely interesting look at evolution. Occurring from a panspermia initially and then spread across 1'000's of bodies with similar make-up each would evolve separately.
Europa's always interested me, although after watching the Europa Report (found footage film), which I highly recommend.... I kind of don't want to go personally!!! >XD Captures various aspects of space exploration and issues very well; especially helplessness and knowing if/when you get in to trouble, you're in serious trou-F-ble!
Fantastic research and video, John! Thanks a bunch!!! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Im rooting for Umbriel,, that moon just looks so primordial ancient to me, it has always filled me with awe.. how insanly cool it would be if it one day proved to have a subsurface ocean.. 🤔
I So hope NASA prioritise that uranus mission that came up on the decadal-survay last year.. (and that I live long enough to see the end of it..)
Umbriel sounds like a horned, clove footed god that enjoys chocolate and dancing, and he sounds like the fainting couch robot from Futurama... 😋😂
I think by now i've watched every single one of your videos, for the past 3/4 years, i share these ideas with my friends and family, i tell them interesting things that you teach on this channel, the amount of people your knowledge has reached is uncountable by now, like a star's energy just spreading everywhere in the universe, your knowledge spreading through human counsciousness.
I tell my friends and family things like this but they never seem to really care, it's sad how little most people care about stuff like this.
I'm glad so many here watch these videos and care about learning more, this is what propels humanity forward with discovery.
I was just done reading an article on phosphorous detection on Enceladus and you just posted this! What a start to the weekend!
Wtf?! How can I only just be finding this amazing channel, when I spend half my YT time looking at astronomy videos?
Well I'm here, now - and not only am I intrigued by the content, but also gratified to hear a perfect (albeit in an American accent ;) pronunciation of a word that seems very recently to be beyond the capabilities of many - on both sides of the Atlantic, btw. "COMParable" -
Subbed!
Always something new with this guy. Thanks!
It's a great morning when I can watch you amazing videos.
I had a great sleep using this video and later a great wake up coffee listening to its content. Thank you John!
Looking at what we know now, I believe microbial life is present in a lot of different places in our solar system and beyond. There could be more complex aquatic life on Enceladus and Europa. Titan could have some very interesting life based on a completely different chemistry. What I want to find is advanced life and the best way to find that is techno signatures.
My man john, coming in clutch just as im about so sleep , thank u from Ireland!!
I love the endings of your videos…” in which we LIIIIIVE!”
Really great video. I think, because these are things to look forward to that are possibly within our lifetime. Once we find just one, we can all die with the knowledge that we’re not alone, and also that our descendants have a chance.
They just disclosed that we're not alone... And that were genetically engineered.
@@SeekerStudiosOfficialNo "they" didn't.
There's only one way our descendants have a chance. That is if we finally begin to do things right. We haven't so far, and we still don't. We don't need that knowledge yet, since there's nothing we can do with it. And continuing the way we do will kill us off before we get a chance to do anything with it. Knowledge has no value when you're dead.
We know the sun will last for millions of years. If we can keep asteroids of our back, and refrain from destroying everything around us, we'll have all that time to figure things out. And in that time we can learn. Learn to make sure that life ain't a suffering for way too many people. Learn that greed, carelessness, aggression, and stupidity is the direct pass to extinction etc etc. We need to learn how NOT to have a success rate of a lethal virus - Then comes the time for the next level, and then we need the knowledge. Until then we're wasting resources in all the wrong places.
If UAP's are aliens they probably won't pose any danger to us, because to get as far as to come here, they necessarily must have learned the basic requirements for survival: Doing things right, and in the right order.
Have a great weekend Mate.
*You* can die in ignorance and futility if *you* feel like. Me? I plan to merge with the machine and see these worlds for myself.
I think it's hilarious that we've all seen videos of UFOs and aliens right here on Earth and yet everybody still has fantasies about them being out "there"...
UFO's and the like are either fake or misperception. If we can't find aliens in our own galaxy I very much doubt that they would be gallivanting across our skys.
Thanksssssssssssssssss John!!!!!!!!!! We really appreciate all your work !!!!!!!!!! Have a great weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I recall the late,great,Arthur C. Clarke's superb 1971 short story, "A Meeting With Medusa",dealing with an astronaut exploring the atmosphere of Jupiter, and discovering living balloons behaving like animals on the plains of Africa...and predicting the 'machine-superceding-man idea
There was also a story by Arthur Conan Doyle, set on Earth,"The Horror of the Heights" published in 1913.
Both classics of their respective eras.👍
Thank you John, for a wonderful video to wake up to before taking my son to school. Always look forward to your uploads, as well as Event Horizon.
Arthur C. Clarke's novella, A Meeting with Medusa, offered balloon animals with giant kite predators in 1971.
I remember a video from either John or Isaac Arthur on the ideal meeting place for first contact being non terrestrial for a multitude of good reasons, but can't remember the video. We can only speculate, but it was a compelling case for why someone would prefer to meet you outside of your atmosphere.
Geologically active Pluto should qualify it as a planet. Deciding planets based on how the orbit a star never rubbed me the right way.
the geology, as well as the mass absolutely make it a world/planet.
Microbial life: "I fell into the burning rings of Saturn, I went down down down, of the rings with patterns, and it burns burns burns, the rings of Saturn, the rings of Saturn."
I like the Venus music shift.
Always my favorite type of video: the quest for alien life.
Something really needs to be done to control the invasive elephant population. They keep wandering into rooms, where they have no business being, interfering in our activities.
The best day of the week is the day JMG uploads! Doesn’t matter whether it is early morning or late at night. When the phone goes “ding”, I watch.
So wait, there could be Interstellar icebergs floating around?
Since you mentioned Mercury, have there ever been any plans, even hypothetical, to land any probes there?
Actually life on the moon has been detected multiple times. I think it even played golf there.
"It's difficult to get probes to Uranus".
I'm such a child .........
Lots of water ice at Mercury's poles. There could be microbes living there.
I have a totally unprovable feeling life is more common than currently seems, and that we might dismiss candidates too quickly with a too narrow 'habitability zone' and carbon 'bias'. Thats just me though lol.
I have considered this too. Definitely something to acknowledge imo.
It seems incredibly likely that pond scum can exist almost anywhere there is water, energy, and chemistry.
And I would argue that life exists practically everywhere those three things exist.
Sadly, this idea makes it far more likely that The Great Filter is ahead of us, and that humans won't make it.
@@Chris.DaviesI wouldn't sweat the Great Filter. There's no real reason to believe in it except to explain the Fermi Paradox, which might not need explaining in the first place.
I am going to laugh so hard after all this obsession and debate about if we are the only life un the universe and we find it on the moon.
Hard days work in a heatwave, driving home, great stuff from John in my ears and van air con just fixed, all good
Hells yeah. Working with the ear buds in and learning all day. Thats the way to go
Brian Cox and I over here giving each other fork burns for every time you accidentally pronounce ‘ancient’ correctly. Lolol! Peace be the journey mang.
1:33 the atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn
3:04 the asteroid belt
4:51 Pluto
6:41 the atmosphere of Venus
9:28 Ganymede and Callisto
11:12 the Moon
12:20 Kuiper belt objects
13:43 Mimas and stealth oceans
16:28 the Uranus system
17:27 Io
@ 14:00 Wow, this image is one of the more bizarre ones captured; Mimas appears to be straining against its minor-planet status. "Hey Cassini and folks, my best side can be seen on your right. I had this crazy huge impact a while back. Never saw it coming; nearbouts ringed me to bits like so many others but as we say out here, that which doesn't feed the E ring makes you slightly more spherical.
❤
13 minutes after it dropped! Time for a before bed story. 11:50est. Love what you do, John!!!!
I think that literally all the obscure potentialality for life here is real, in that life is previllant throughout the universe, but 'intelligent life' is another story☄️🌌🌐
If all you need is liquid water, then almost every rocky body large enough to retain a little heat in its core has it. That's hundreds or maybe thousands of places in this solar system alone. Most of the liquid water in the universe is underground.
Hi John 👋🏼 thanks for all amazing content!
This channel is amazing. A crime that it doesn’t have 1M subs
Perfect! Just in time to listen and fall asleep to a new video 😁
If there could be intelligent Octopi swimming in the Oceans of Eceladus; Why aren't we THERE already? And when Sagan's "floaters and sinkers" are discovered on Jupiter; we'll call them "Sagons"
LOLOL. We don't see the Aliens because they have UPLOADED. They have transformed into energy based beings. Quantum computing is the only barrier to providing a platform for a human brain...
Not related but, just a couple of yrs ago I was debating this guy about possible life on other planets and he was dam sure he was correct about no life being possible anywhere. And when I brought up the possibility of life because of the Goldielocks zones on distant planets, he stated loudly that I clearly had no idea what I was talking about and was now just making things up, because the "Goldielocks zone" was the stupidest thing he's ever heard and is no way an actual saying in Astrobiology. Most of the class sided with him sadly. Making me feel stupid in front of everyone.
So now whenever I hear that phrase used, it makes me feel super good Inside.
Thanks for that JMG. Cheers buddy!
🍻
What if life (let's keep it to 'as we know it' for simplicity) is actually quite commonplace throughout the galaxy, with thousands of suitable abodes provided by planetary bodies within our own system? For all we know today, biospheres consisting of single-celled organisms, protected from radiative damage and temperature swings by kilometers of ice and rock (and thus also hard to discover from the outside) may be the norm, while a biosphere which has developed to present detectable forms on any planet or moon's surface is an extreme anomaly. This may be the situation we find ourselves in presently, hypothesizing 'habitable zones' which are only appropriate to the latter, rare, sole example we have to work from, and whatever biospheres we are likely to discover and characterize locally will be much more primitive than ours, much harder to access for study, and very much like each other (possibly even sharing many of the same species with only minor adaptations to their specific host worlds).
When I was a kid becoming interested in this stuff, nobody would have thought of Titan as being a candidate for a host world, let alone Ceres or Pluto, but if the question is restricted to simply 'life', then we could be on the cusp of a huge transformation, and past speculations about life elsewhere (arising from our studies of the only example we have ever known) have led us somewhat astray (IOW, fallacy of composition).
Or, perhaps not...
Number 8.5: It is surprising how many people betrayed loyal Pluto, yet Pluto does not complain nor harbor ill will.
Folks better thank their stars crazy uncle😂 Ted moved on to that bare shack in the sky cause the thing he disliked more than technological creep was folks especially academic ones hiding behind science yon 😢tfsteadfast, loyal Pluto.
Good content, as always. But this should be renamed "10 unusual" or "10 unexpected" locations.... "Obscure" doesn't really fit.
Damn the day we are able to find out if Callisto has life in its underground ocean is the day humanity will be very advanced technologically. 250 km deep oceans? Damnnnnnnnnnnn
So many possibilities.
If only we spent as much on space rockets equipped with probes as we do on rockets equipped with warheads.
We might actually find some of the answers, before our inevitable end.
💚♾️
I still say looking for JUST "Earth like" planets for life is a fools move because there's nothing saying life can't evolve on planets we can't live on & hell... who's even to say there can't be life in let's say.... the puddle of a rock somewhere that will never be able to communicate with us until we created the technology to do so!
The secrets & unknowns of the universe are so fun to think about!
The chances of anything coming from Mercury
Were a million to one said everybody but John Michael Godier...
Doesn't really scan does it? I'll work on it.
If we are talking Alien spacefaring species, discussing locations in our system and beyond for their bases is probably mute, as their level of tech would undoubtedly include cloaking incl gravitational cloaking possibly even to the point of target cloaking of our individual devices like the JWST so we could not detect alien megastructures orbiting stars and suchlike.
Venus, what about mountain tops, acting sort of like islands of some solid surfaces that are sheltered somewhat from the extreme heat and pressure further down, are there mountains tall enough for that or what about near the poles, (I would imagine the poles to be colder yes? could still be baking though idk) If there are these places that offer a start to life, it could then spread through the air currents, or adapt to floating permanently. (I doubt anything complex, but like some kind of adaptation that help the microbe have buoyancy, it's a thicker atmosphere so that might be possible)
Venus as hot world with jungles, there's a Dutch book on that (and only Dutch I'm affraid, its a bit old): Torenhoog en mijlen breed
I've often wondered about locations in the Oort Cloud.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if there is life (primitive or otherwise) in the Oort Cloud. The Oort Cloud is vast, it's over a light year in size and only ends when you're in another star system.
Pluto is a promising one to me, at least as promising as ice shell moons elsewhere. I've never done any looking into it, but i feel like the tidal stress from Charon has to cause some churning. The surface was just so fresh and dynamic. I wonder if it could even get gysers.
Ya know if life is existant on many of our outer worlds but they aren't so advanced (lets say they are like fish or something) and they look weird, space tourism in the future is going to get a massive boom.
Love the content from a fellow Missourian. If you're ever down Farmington way, breakfast and coffee on me 👍🏼
Is there any good reason that we don’t panspermia life into habitable planets or moons ourselves? Say we sent an amount of different things, cockroaches, mammals etc then watched to see how it goes?… bacteria, viruses, seeds, fish released into waters etc etc etc
The Sunflowers remind me of Niven's Slaver/Tnunctipun-engineered Sunflowers. Do not go near!
Most of these seem extremely far-fetched. I'm opposed to the obsession with searching for microbial life. I'd prefer that we focus instead on improving life here on earth!
What if the universe is a giant neural network that serves as the brain of a higher dimensional being? If that’s possible, then everything is life, and life is everywhere.
If the higher dimensional being develops split personalities then the multiverse is created.
Plutonians are probably thinking, none of the inner planets are in the habitable zone. They're too close to the sun! Life as we know it can't exist there! It's too bright and hot!
Perhaps life that survives long term simply doesn't disturb the environment around it as much as life that won't survive long term
JOHN MICHAEL GODIER -- OUTSTANDING AS EVER !! MANY THANKS! ENJOYED THE VIDEO . FROM, U.K. (2023).
The moon's habitable period. Hope I live long enough to watch microbial paleontology on the moon. Macros more than welcome.
>no Phoebe :(
In Kardashian butt cracks , I guarantee there's unknown species in that void
If and when we eventually discover life elsewhere in the universe, it'd be cool if all the newspaper headlines consisted of two words: "They liiiiiiive."
If aliens are out there are they gonna play Armored Core 6? Known fact all living creatures are Fans of Fromsoftware
The John Varley classic *Titan* comes to mind...
Just a thought...
S.W.
Hi john, you mentioned "the asteroid ceres" in this video. Are you referring to ceres the dwarf planet?
I hope we find out if there is life in Europa's ocean before I die. I know there is...I just know it must be there. 🙏
With the venting some of the ice moons are doing, they could be shrinking. And tossing any life there out onto vacuum.
Thanks for posting tonight. Great content.
Personally, I'm suspiciously eyeing that Death Star out there!
If all life lives off the death of other life. This begs the question, which came first life or death?
I can understand subsurface oceans, but meteor or gas giant life feels like too desperate a reach.
Cool shot of one of those dark-grey, ice-slugs (or whatever they are) on Pluto, along with their respective, two-lane trails in the snow between settlements or colonies, complete with intersections between distant settlements, and at least one, dead-end street from the looks of it.
Pluto is very interesting. The gravity of it's moon may be creating heat internally and melting the ice and as the water moves to the surface it freezes and the convection circulates the water. These cycles may allow for life.
Your thumbnail gives me Mystery Science Theater vibes
At this point, science will find extremophiles in the sun.
The sad thing is: every probe we have and will send will be seeding microbes. The voyager probes are projected to still have microbes on them. We currently can't sterilize anything enough to avoid this.
That said, the positive would be us possibly spreading life to places that didn't have it before. A future Europa probe might do just that.
