One of the best videos about the utter weirdness of Titan I've ever seen. I was doing a research paper on Titan in college and I learned so much cool stuff that blew my mind. Thanks for sharing it with the world!
I agree. We'll have Europa Clipper flyover and other stuff to tide us over till then but I think the Dragonfly exploration is probably going to be more thrilling.
Lol, I'd like to emphasize the level of pure disrespect u give the earth there, sure titan is tiny, has an extremly thick atmosphere with pretty eventful storms, but earth is such an extremely unique planet in the sense it developed life. NOTHING in our solar system has anything even close to resembling life, and there certainly was never any intelligent life. Earth has breath taking oceans, massive mountains, a the highest surface density and a moon that is HUGE for its respective size. Earth is an interesting one. @@mikkokivisto4414
Titan is certainly a very interesting place, and it may just be the next best place for humans to colonize. Especially after the Sun enters the red giant phase, since Saturn (and by extension, Titan) will be in the habitable zone by that time. Of course, that is assuming that we even last that long.
By that time humans will already have colonized the milky way, no need to settle Titan at that point. Titan will probably be a hub for mining Operations in the Saturn system, and hopefully its nature (the lakes) will be protected and not exploited by humanity.
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.
From what I’ve seen there are very few impact craters on Titan. If true, that would indicate surface reforming due to methane/ethane erosion or tectonic activity. Just a thought.
4 times thicker as in it extends about 4 times as much in outer space compared to Earth, that is due to its lower gravity. Thickness here refers to the literal thickness, for example, the mesosphere of Titan ends at a distance about 4 times greater from its surface compared to the mesosphere of Earth from its surface. Also yes the surface pressure is indeed about 1.5 times greater.
@@Drekslerr I think this is a clarification that is needed as some terms can become vague due to miss usage, thickness is sometimes used to describe viscosity or pressure.
Interesting to think that water ice behaves like rock on these cold moons, and liquid water being spewed out by volcanoes is the equivalent of molten lava. While liquid, gaseous and solid methane on Titan fills out the role that water has on earth.
Very awesome special about one of the most fascinating worlds of the solarsystem Titan. I wonder these dunes aren't really just grains of matter but real living organisms piling themselves up through static electricity so they could collect and hold methane moisture which their biochemistry is dissolved in and puling minerals out of the soil roming the surface this way.
NASA and SpaceX should collaborate and send several dragonflies in this mission to explore more. The vehicles should be configurable so that if the first fails, perhaps they could make adjustments before sending the next one, and so on. On the other hand, if they all work, then we can learn more from each dragonfly at different locations.
aqua atmospheric erosion see if they change heat or mass or density they can be seeded to erode into a storm being either from being kicked up and evaporated during a equinox or constant solar lock where heat keeps the water cycle alive where both evaporation seperation and soil saturation . fossil of the lake before the great lunar shift in rotation or ran out of feed for sufficient depth to be a independent body of liquid fluids.
The rectangle map of Titan shown in the video at 6:26 does not accurately depict surface size of various features including lakes. True size of the lakes becomes apparent when Titan is viewed as a globe, look at the largest lakes at the north pole of Titan at 10:03. The surface area of lakes was accurately measured at 910k km2 which is 1.1% of the surface. This problem where objects near the poles are shown as being much larger than they are is present on a huge amount of rectangle maps of the Earth as well, they show Greenland as being similar in size to Africa, while in reality the surface area of Africa is 14 times larger.
I love the idea of standing on titan looking at mithun Lakes, that is reminiscent of the lakes of earth, but knowing it is not earth. SubhanAllah, how grandiose the creations of Allah (S.W.T.) is! It makes me even more amazed by our Creator-the One who designed this entire universe and everything in it, from the giant nebulas to tiny but highly complex moons like Titan, Allahu Akhbar! P.s., before anyone comments saying there is no God because science explains our existence, answer the following question: who created the laws of physics? Who set the values of constants like the speed of light? Who dictated that the space time bends due to mass-thus resulting in gravitational fields around objects. Islam is the only religion that isn’t opposed to science. Islam explains all the queries of life and our existence! Muslims invented the scientific method, in fact! May Allah (S.W.T.) guide you to Islam and bestow upon you His Blessings; Ameen.

Hey man, can you do a video about what complex lifeforms could've arised on mars and venus if they stayed habitable? Love the content man!
Great idea.
Yes it venus and mars onces upon a time habitable with ocean 🌊 and river.
Not sure he'd do that. That's speculative biology, not astronomy. But it sounds fun though
@@henrycgs You're right, it's something more along the lines of What If content. But, I still would love to see a video like that from Drekstler.
Yeah

I hope Dragonfly launches on time, I'm not getting any younger! Great content Drex!👍👍

This was really excellent. I didn't know so much was known about Titan!
The dunes were fascinating, since people mainly discuss the lakes.
Man I absolutely love your videos. They are so exciting to watch and it’s crazy to imagine of what other worlds our solar system has to offer.
Astral is back again!
He gonna leave just like my dad after this video💀💀

Titan is easily the most interesting thing in our Solar System.
After Earth of course 🙂
@@ChemEDan Nah, Titan's cooler.
I already live on Earth, so it's boring.

You also have to remember that titan has a thicker atmosphere to burn up any smaller meteors and breaking apart larger ones.
let's give some hearty woofs for cosmic dawg Dreksler's return. "woof" (x3)
10:21 the atmosphere is not 4 times thicker but 1.4 times thicker.
4 times thicker as in it extends about 4 times as much in outer space compared to Earth, that is due to its lower gravity. Thickness here refers to the literal thickness, for example, the mesosphere of Titan ends at a distance about 4 times greater from its surface compared to the mesosphere of Earth from its surface. Also yes the surface pressure is indeed about 1.5 times greater.
@@Drekslerr I think this is a clarification that is needed as some terms can become vague due to miss usage, thickness is sometimes used to describe viscosity or pressure.
@@MCNarret Agreed. What theyre describing in the vid would be 'depth' of the atmosphere... no?
@@capitalh1895 depth, height, size, many words for it.
the atmosphere is 4.4 x as dense 1.5x more pressure and 10 times as tall
Interesting to think that water ice behaves like rock on these cold moons, and liquid water being spewed out by volcanoes is the equivalent of molten lava. While liquid, gaseous and solid methane on Titan fills out the role that water has on earth.
Please do a Q&A session with your viewers 🙏
This is quite fascinating
8:03 Seems that Titan has similar Equatorial mountain range like Iapetus. :O
The more I know about that moon, the more interested I get.

i love these videos
Was gonna be hyped for the dragonfly mission. Keeping myself up to date and all that stuff until i heard 2034☠
What If Earth and Venus switched places
Earth Would Be Venua. And Venus Would Be Slightly Colder. That's it.
NASA and SpaceX should collaborate and send several dragonflies in this mission to explore more. The vehicles should be configurable so that if the first fails, perhaps they could make adjustments before sending the next one, and so on. On the other hand, if they all work, then we can learn more from each dragonfly at different locations.
Do Titan if it had Carbon Based life or if Earth had Sillicon based life
I need this...💙⚡
Sub surface ocean or no, and if so is it H2O?
It would be easy to get lost as hell in Xanadu, lol.
It's a frozen ice ball basically
aqua atmospheric erosion see if they change heat or mass or density they can be seeded to erode into a storm being either from being kicked up and evaporated during a equinox or constant solar lock where heat keeps the water cycle alive where both evaporation seperation and soil saturation . fossil of the lake before the great lunar shift in rotation or ran out of feed for sufficient depth to be a independent body of liquid fluids.
Get ready to be awe-inspired. 🌠💫✨🌟⭐
I hope dragonfly will see some lakes of methane.

When did The Us Start using Euro and Japan Metric system or is he from the us Lots of NM KG KPH im hearing now.
He is from Serbia
@@SeptoScotius Ow ok
Titan needs to be prioritized over mars. It has far more interesting activity than Mars.
Titan is my favorite moon
I hate to be the one to tell you this but that moon is gone. Thanos threw it at Ironman while they were fighting over Infinity stones.
Cool video idea!
The lakes can't be just 1% even without calculation with first look you would count them more than 10% from the surface.
The rectangle map of Titan shown in the video at 6:26 does not accurately depict surface size of various features including lakes. True size of the lakes becomes apparent when Titan is viewed as a globe, look at the largest lakes at the north pole of Titan at 10:03.
