Scientists Show What Exactly Went Wrong With Mars

- Mars wasn't always a cold and barren world ruled by raging dust storms covering the entire planet. Instead, it was warm, had lakes of liquid water, and was possibly habitable for a short period in its history. This dramatic transition of the Red Planet is generally attributed to the loss of its magnetic field. A planet's magnetic field is a fundamental ingredient that decides the course of events there. It's an entity that can cause the difference between life and death.
The Earth's magnetosphere wraps Earth like a protective blanket. As the energetic solar wind strikes the magnetosphere, the magnetosphere forces it to flow around the planet instead of reaching the atmosphere or the surface, preventing the solar wind from stripping away Earth's atmosphere. Without it, Earth would be dry, dead, and barren, just like Mars. But if Mars once had a strong magnetic field, what went wrong with it? How did a warm planet become a cold, dry, and barren world? And most importantly, is this going to be the Earth's ultimate fate?
The eleventh episode of the Sunday Discovery Series answers these questions.

Do you think humans can settle on Mars in the next couple of decades?
Not with current management.
Nomads! Intelligent, dissatisfied, curious, risky, arrogant, indolent with no limit. One thing is for sure, its a one way ticket. "To infinity and beyond" while our brain has not cover yet its first one percentage of its capacity. We don´t even know our oceans or jungles. Conquest.
Absolutely not. Even a human visit and return would be incredibly ambitious, not to mention dangerous. At the very least it would need to be preceeded by two or more "test" missions, as were the Moon landings. Someday ....
I solved metaphysics yesterday. Enjoy.

So, our planet produces its own electricity? Interesting how we got duped into paying for it
The same way we pay for water. I'm surprised they haven't found a way to charge us for Air.
@@ghostface9230 they will.
@@ghostface9230 have you ever watched The Lorax? Yeah.
Tesla knew this and how the pyramids acted as generators!
@@ghostface9230 they charge for emissions into the air. They tax air travel
Fun fact the Earth's core is a third larger than it should be because of the collision with Thera that created the Moon. The Earth absorbed it's core. We have an extra strong magnetic field because of that.
that’s something new to learn
There is also a tremendous amount of radioactive materia decaying in our core which helps keep it molten, and spinning to power the magnetic field..
What exactly does an extra strong magnetic field mean for beings of Earth, cosmically? Like, would we legitimately be stronger than beings evolved on a planet with less gravity?
So you say. There is zero conclusive proof of the "thera" theory. They made a theory (which can't be disproven.....or proven) then made computer models which would support their conjecture.
@@watcher805 It means that there is less disturbance by high energy particles from solar and cosmic radiation. Earth repels them like a magnet. This allows for more fragile molecular structures to form. Like proteins and DNA. If we didn't have this anomalously strong magnetic field we'd die of radiation poisoning, because our tissue would decompose under radiation bombardment.
I think this video may be too optimistic about colonizing Mars. The chances of Mars being habitable are pretty tiny. Mars contains an extremely low temperature, high concentrations of toxic chemicals, lethal amounts of radiation, an insufficient amount of water, and an atmosphere that is 1% of Earth's. And the idea of terraformation, as I see in several comments, is being way ahead of today, as we're not even close to possessing the technology capable of doing so.
Both comets Ison and Siding Springs caused massive electrical discharges when the passed Mars - one close the other far. One was photographed. The entire face of Mars exploded. This on top of all the stuff you mention would be prohibitive.
Finally, some intelligent admissions of our limitations
I think the lack of a magnetosphere is biggest issue. Then again, maybe we don't need to terraform it to live there.
I agree I think colonizing the moon would be a better idea no dust storms to worry about more solar power sure less gravity but on 4 days away and not 9 mons every two years.
Scientists idea of habitable needs to change.
I think, ultimately Mars was just too small, and had too low of a mass to get it to squeeze out a good iron core, and what it did manage to squeeze out, just couldn't last.
Well stated lutria. Agree
Seems like they need to include a rotating feather duster for the solar panels to periodically remove the dust.
Or when the dust storm got to bad, then why not retract the solar panels and have some sort of dust removal tool or function to get the dust off of each panel.
Yeah like a windshield wiper.
You should mention that to them. They probably haven’t thought of that. L
They said “in the air,” not on the solar panels themselves. The dust is thick enough to block sunlight just by floating around… 🙄
also that dust is nothing like in earth. it's so thin, it actually sticks to solar panels. you have to have some kind of energy efficient cleaning tools to remove it.
You'd think after having solar panels defeated by dust on practically every mission nasa would have put a brush on them by now
Dust particles IN THE AIR, not on the panels 🙄 a “brush” would be completely useless
@@JGirDesu Oh really? Seen pics of the Insight solar panels lately?
Yep. Or an inbuilt shake-up vib-o-matic action to remove the dust every so often. Or vac & shake. Or a "tilt them panels" option for some house cleaning. It's hardly rocket science..!

Oh... and 🙄 to you.
@@JGirDesu the joke went over your simpleton head
I think it's beautiful here on earth. Just spent a week at the beach. The water, air, and beach were all clean and beautiful! Earth is the best of the 9 planets! That's right Pluto is still a planet to me!
What about Makemake, Sedna, Eris, Haumea, Quaoar, etc who also orbit the sun like Pluto does? Are they not a Planet?
@@kaptenhiu5623 They, just like Pluto, have been reclassified by the IAU as 'dwarf planets'. There are many more bodies of that size orbiting in the Kuiper Belt. If we counted them all as planets like Earth or Saturn, for example, we would then have hundreds of planets. The IAU defined a planet as a body that orbits the Sun and clears a path in it's orbit. Obviously, that is not the case in the Kuiper Belt. There is also a dwarf planet called Ceres that orbits in the asteroid belt orbiting between Mars and Jupiter. It is about 587 miles in diameter.
@@FATillery exactly... that's why Pluto must be demoted to dwarf planet
We are blessed to have such a wonderful planet..
The secret to the success of Earth's magnetic field lies in the large moon that orbits this planet. Neither Venus nor Mars have such a large moon to tug on the core like our moon. Without that action there will be no magnetic field to protect the planet. When looking for planets that can sustain life, we should narrow that search to planets that also have similarly large moons.
Interesting insight. That would be a smart approach to investigate.
Not quite. The magnetic field is caused by molten iron moving around in the Earth's core. It's a natural process called geodynamo, and it's powered by heat from the core, not the Moon's gravity. Mars also had a magnetic field in the past, but the core has since frozen.
@@onionman8160 is it possible the gravity from the moon contributed to the core being still molten?
@@temporaryphase Well, maybe, but probably not by much. The Earth has clearly not heated up the Moon's own core by much, and the gravitational effect on the Moon is much greater than the Moon's effect on Earth.
However, Io is very much heated by Jupiter's gravity, and is very geothermaly active, so i suppose there is some contribution.
@@onionman8160 Yes, but the molten core is only active enough BECAUSE of the moon's actions on the Earth. Large moon > molten core > magnetic field
Am I the only one who feels bad for mars? Like, it’s magnetic field gave up on it.
I agree
How could Mars be our second home if it can't hold an atmosphere to allow tera-forming due to a lack of magnetic fields? Maybe you could live underground or in bubbles above, but what kind of existence is that?
We’ll be living underground or in bubbles on this planet soon enough if we continue in the manner we are. But you are right, what sort of existence is that?
@@stabantuek9044 tf are you talking about lmaooooo even if the earth got 5° C hotter we would be “fine”. You act like every human would die. We just probably would go back to pre industrial revolution population size.
@@ehfoiwehfowjedioheoih4829 Many millennials have been taught growing up that the world will end from CO2 emissions in about 20-30 years or something. I heard the same crap growing up as well and NONE of the horrible predictions I heard growing up have happened and are still not close to happening. The panic is real, though, which is why Bill Nye the Science Guy almost got lynched when he told an audience of millennials that a Martian colony is impossible in our lifetimes.
Excellent information as always thanks . Strange to think that Mars could have also been a flourishing planet if not for its magnetic field failing . Hope we have a successor to InSight to further delve into the planets mysteries .
You should also hope the next Insight brings a hammer to pound the tent stake deeper since the engineers forgot there might be rocks in the round
You should formulate your own opinion on why mars isnt the way earth is because nobody actually knows these things they preach not even the so called smartest scientists its bonkers what you people believe
We do its called no sight .and load ov shjte🤣
1) Too Cold for "flourishing"
2) Some soil is Poisonous
3) Carbon D, no oxygen
4) The atmosph. Is too thin
Some theorize that we'd eventually have a better chance of creating livable conditions on Venus. If you can tame Venus, you'd probably have a more viable environment, but we don't have the technology as yet. Besides changing the composition of the Venetian atmosphere, you'd also have to reduce the atmospheric pressure.
living in the clouds of venus is more reasonable than terraforming the planet. The temperature there is similiar to earths and literally all you need for protection is the equivalent of gardening gloves for your whole body (and air supply) The issue with a lot of these is self reliance, resources would be hard to come by.
@@brentchatterley9168 lmao how do you propose we live in the clouds in perpetual motion? what kind of orbit would we have within the clouds of venus that wouldn’t decay
@@harmanthind2147 Venus has much thicker air then Earth. We could have a "balloon" colony quite easily as a result. Not much different than a ship on water. Of course, the design wouldn't be ship like, still it isn't quite as crazy as you would think without looking into it.
Isn't the real problem the toxic air in the atmosphere of venus?
Unlikely. Recent research suggests that Venus' thin crust would be too much of an obstacle. Mars is far more stable and might sustain underground colonies.
According to present information, it Mars is not a good match for human habitation, but it has possibilities that other solar bodies may not. It may be worth finding out more about what humans can or cannot do to make it habitable.
lets start at oure ohw planet first peace and all
We should try to colonize Jupiter instead. Set up a base camp on the Red Spot on Jupiter.
@@keiththomas3141 Why Jupiter?
Venus is the better candidate.
The effort to make Mars habitable would make solving any problem here on Earth look trivial. We cannot colonize Mars.
I hypothesize that because of Mars’ relatively small size and low gravity compared to that of earth, the inner core and mantle convection that would normally attribute to the magnetic field, seized to exist.
There's some speculation that the Earth still has the dynamo due to residual energy from the planetary collision that created the Moon.
I had an engine seize once.
"Future missions for human civilization."
Andromeda: I'm about to end this mans whole career
In a science fiction alternate history short story by Stephen Baxter, every couple of hundred of millions of years, Mars undergoes huge eruptions and forms a thin but breathable atmosphere. During a very short time, maybe 100 thousands years or even shorter, Martian life that was hibernating flourishes again and enjoys a short Martian summer. On alternate Earth during our present human civilization we find out Mars has life. No big deal, since it was always there even when early man watched Mars. The space program is much more ambitious than in our original solar system. Unfortunately the Space Race and the Cold War are a bit ''hotter'' too. The first American and Russian spacecraft arrive, but soon international political tentions cause World War Three. Earth dies. The only humans left are a couple of dozen Martian colonists. Even more unfortunately is that the survivors soon discover that they arrived at the very end of the Martian summer. The air is already getting thinner...
What galaxy did you come from? What ARE you people reading? This is grabbing rabbits out of a hat. Nothing new has been DISCOVERED on Mars in the last 40 years. Its all hype to give NASA a reason to get more funding
Interesting
What is the title of the short story. Maybe ill take a look at it myself
This could be a good short movie
Is this book called Voyage? So far, this is the closest thing to a match that I’ve found.
If there's no magnetic field to protect the planet, then unless we can artificially create an equivalent shield in its atmosphere, how would any life as we know it on earth, survive there?
You’re correct ARC. It’s a freaking pipe dream
Underground, likely. That's the easiest (relatively speaking) means of survival on Mars, initially.
That is very true. But that isn't the only problem with settling Mars. Low gravity, extreme cold, reduced solar input, traveling distance, cost of resources, etc. just to name the most obvious.
Modern problems require modern solutions
@@leoborganelli3558 You should check out some of the habitats already able to be made by NASA before this claim.
Would having one or two true moons help it instead of the two pebbles that are currently orbiting the planet?
Whatever you have been doing in that cave, it wasn't reading.
Theoretically two large moons would create tidal effects and heat up the core of Mars, which would definitely be a good first step
@@williamflamholtz5762 would it give Mars some Earth-like features (ozone layer)?
@@kempmt1 nah the ozone here on Earth is supplied by O2 producing life
@@kempmt1 not inherently, unless there was some kind of deposits of oxygen in it's new satellite/s that were released towards the planet when they began to interact with it gravitationally, or if there's some kind of deposits on Mars itself released by the same interaction.
I can't believe that no one has put wiper blades on solar panels on these landing spacecraft.
Very exciting information ℹ️ thanks for the video .
The gravity on Mars is too weak to hold onto any water. It's a matter of mass. They've done atmospheric studies that show water leaving Mars at alarming rates even to this date.
Mar's gravity is fine for holding onto liquid water. It's the lack of atmosphere. At only 1% of Earth's atmosphere, water ice sublimates into gas when heated (as seen in the expanding and shrinking poles) and then is stripped away by the solar radiation.
Honey, if Mars is able to hold its atmosphere in place through gravity, of course it would hold liquid water too (which is denser than gas). The process is totally different (as Craig Thacker explained)
@@geminisfl I ain't your honey.
I was salutatorian in my class and I aced science. I was given the Bausch and Lomb science award and an application to go to Rochester.
Mars is not only losing atmosphere it's losing water as well. Water sublimates from ice to vapor. The atmosphere you speak of on Mars is almost non existent. The pressure is like 5% that of Earth's, practically a vacuum by our standards. Mars does not have enough mass to hang onto atmosphere, or it's water.
Not having a magnetosphere doesn't help but any atmosphere on Mars never stood a chance.
The gravity on mars is too low to prevent Oxygen from reaching escape velocity...
I took freshman level astronomy with Professor (Dr.) Rita Bebee in 1979. All of this info about Mars was found by the Mariner probes from the 70's. So much of the other stuff is all conjecture.
Atmosphere is Carbon dioxide
Gravity and mass 76% of Earth.
Very high volcanoes due to lack of atmospheric pressure.
Mars NEVER HAD A SUSTAINABLE ATMOSPHERE!
Learned a bunch of other amazing factoids about mars and our solar system. Rita was a great scientist. Never once talked about leaving this planet tho. Thats a bunch of nonsense. We'd never survive anywhere else in this physical universe.
Great content as always. The videos of the Discovery Series are fascinating. I am very excited to get the news that we could reside on Mars!
Thanks for watching the series :)
It's amazing that the Earth has life at all. A very lucky, random set of circumstances make our planet habitable.

You'd think they would've added wipers to the solar panels
You think they would use nuclear power sources like they did for Voyager I and II that are still operating after 40 years in deep space.
Build by the lowest bidder.
Almost everyone: use wiper blades on the solar panels
NASA: you do realize the dust/sand would scratch them to a useless state thereby defeating the panels prematurely and entirely🤦
Cover them in something clear, that won't get scratched like that, so that would be wiped instead
everybody wise-ass until your rolling brush didn't work on solar panels because the dust is actually sticky.
@@_caracalla_ There's a solution to every problem if you are creative enough. I think this is something we can overcome
I think Mars would eventually be a stopover for some other destination.
Here is an idea for "stopover" site. Zero gravity... Makes launching stuff allot cheaper. LoL
Well, depending on how things go for biology, but it certainly could become our gateway to the asteroid belt.
If Earth lost its magnetic field, the free market would create a new one. Mars didn't have that option.
invisible hand at his best
...in the form of human hampsters inside little iron wheels. Gives a whole new meaning to 'wheelhouse'.
I just don't understand how do they plan to teraform it, if every little atmosphere they create will just be blown off to outer space by the solar winds?
“They” will terraform it with the Genesis device, of course. This is by far the easiest way to create life from non-life.
How much of an effect did Jupiter have on Mars being so small compared to Earth and Venus? I would think Jupiter being able to clear out debris limited the size of the planet and the size of its core, affecting the strength of the magnetic field.
Possible, and remember Jupiter wasn't always that far away, I believe it began closer to the sun and migrated out.
Idk about Mars but I do know that if not for Jupiter being a cosmic broom, there'd be a fifth planet between Mars and jupiter's present orbits. Instead, anything that got heavy enough to maintain gravitational pull and start forming a planet got sucked into Jupiter's gravity well instead and either became a moon, or fed Jupiter itself making it even larger leaving behind naught but an asteroid belt.
This makes me think hard about how incredibly lucky we are to live on a planet where everything is just right to allow life to exist.
We humans like to think we're so high and mighty but the only reason we exist is because we won the cosmic lottery.
Our planet will eventually die too rather we want it or not and that makes me pretty sad
"where everything is just right to allow life to exist"
For now... It hasn't always been that way, and it's headed in the wrong direction if Global Warming continues.
"we won the cosmic lottery"
I prefer to think of this in a different way. We were BORN out of it. Made from the very stuff that makes the planet so great. Carbon, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Hydrogen, Calcium, and Phosphorus.
As it says in "The War of the Worlds";
"By the toll of a billion deaths man has bought his birthright of the Earth, and it is his against all comers; it would still be his were the Martians ten times as mighty as they are. For neither do men live nor die in vain"
-H.G. Wells
I cant believe nobody has thought of the solar panels getting dusty and ridden inoperable.
Imagine Mars was mined and stripped of it's natural resources resulting in a collapse of the magneto sphere?
Could be possible…
I don't think Mars will be a second home for humans unless we have a way of replicating Earth's gravity
And if they solve the gravity issue how were you palnning to breath.
@@jamesvw769 Mars has tons of oxygen that's why the planet is red it is literally an iron and oxygen powerhouse
@@davidlundquist Mars has 0.013% oxygen level hardly tons in fact its not even enough to keep an ant alive. Earth has 30%
I'm surprised they haven't come up with a way to clear the dust from solar panels, like a low votage fan, or an arm with something to wipe/blow the dust off.
That's what I wondered, too... Considering all the dust we already knew about, it would've been a very simple, small, lightweight, cheap, and effective way to greatly extend the lifespan. Very strange indeed.
Lowest bidder.
Awesome, great information that I have not heard anywhere else.
Right on. Thanks for sharing.
So Mars is a dead planet. Why would we want to go there ?
mars probes & rovers teach us a good deal about planetary composition, the history of the solar system, and how mars lost its habitability. ideas about actually colonizing mars are just billionaire vanity projects.
Necrophilia?
@@simonebernacchia Nice one
I mean Mars and Earth are kinda similar they both of water (in some form) they have an atmosphere even if humans can’t breath the air on Mara and they both were once habitable (earth is still habitable ) but mars is dead. If we really wanted to find a good planet other then earth we would have to go out of our solar system and find a exo planet with a habitable tempature
More seriously we cannot kill something that is already dead - assumed that is indeed dead
Due to the fact that Mars has no magnetosphere, how are we going to terraform it? No magnetosphere means very little atmosphere since it gets stripped away by solar radiation. Unless we can find a way to make a synthetic magnetosphere then we won’t really be able to comfortably inhabit it. What we will learn is to appreciate the unique and marvelous beauty of earth a bit more I think. If the grass starts to looks greener on the other side then it’s time to water your own.
yes......we have to look better after our unique little globe of life.
Assuming something went wrong is wrong. There is nothing 'wrong' with Mars, or the sun, or any other planet.
Go take a walk on Mars. Im sure you'll find a couple things to have gone kinda wrong.
I saw "The death of Mars" in the thumbnail and thought I missed some supervillian attack or something.
Will Mars be our second home in the future? The answer depends on whether or not humans can thrive in 1/3 gravity.
Humans specialize in adapting.
The only way I can foresee Mars becoming a permanent viable home for the Human Race, is if someone finds a way to recreate that magnetic field, then a study would have to be done to see if there's enough frozen water to support life and if it's even safe to drink etc. Sure, we can create domes for temporary visits, but who would want to live in those conditions permanently? Plus if something were to go catastrophically wrong and the dome was damaged, where are you going to go?
No oxygen handouts to mars. It will lose it, like it lost it’s atmosphere. Exploration yes, inhabiting no.

This video is super cool !
I think mars was our home in the past...
Years ago I saw a thought provoking Japanese Anime movie about that on the Science Fiction channel. The movie demonstrated how people destroyed Mars and the last survivors made their way to Earth. I wish I could see that movie again, I don't remember the name of it. I've tried to look for it in the past.
A follow-up video would review/measure the Earth's magnetosphere, to determine if it is diminishing. And if so, what to do about it.
Just like earth, the one thing truly holding us back from terraforming and living on Mars is a substantial lack of a renewable and powerful energy source i.e. A working fusion reactor.
So, without a Martian magnetosphere, terraforming would be impossible? Wouldn't any atmosphere created just get stripped away by solar winds?
Without creating an alternative way of diverting solar winds, yes, any atmosphere would be stripped from the planet. Most of what is seen from Mars surface photos in the sky is actually just dust and other debris from the surface (and some of it is water), and not an actual sky as we know it here on earth. That said if we come up with the technology to reshape an atmosphere we probably wont be too far off from being able to manipulate a magneto sphere. But in that case, itd be easier to fast track venus past its greenhouse effect
I'm guessing this is why it's been mostly stable on earth as far as outside visitors aka comets or asteroids. Wonder how long it will take to move out of this cloud/bubble.
we have had quite a few extinction events because of outside visitors,hopefully our current good luck will last.
Ask the dinosaurs how important good luck is!
And that was only one type of extinction event..........
@@johnkooy5327 lol we might need one of these outside visitors to cool the earth again.
The Big rip on the face of Mars probably came from when it possibly passed within 70,000 miles of the Earth, around the Time of Joshua's Long Day.
Nope, those writing written based on perception and not scientific fact. Many things can effect our perception of time, especially adrenalin during combat, that often leaves soldiers with a sense of everything slowed down around them during intense action.
If the Earth were to legitimately stop however, the resulting compression waves of all that mass moving hundreds’ to a thousand miles an hour, would have either crushed or ejected every living thing on the surface in seconds.

@@geminisflwhy?
I guess it fell short of gravity to churn-up things in it's core.
This in-turn meant it got a reason to loose it's magnetosphere.
Venus is currently in a runaway greenhouse effect. The earth went through that stage as well. Mars is now dry and dusty, and its volcanoes long dead, its heat is gone. The earth has robust volcanic activity and underground molten lava flows. Venus has this too. The earth used to rotate around the sun at a closer distance, at one point about the same distance as Venus orbits the sun now, and Mars was also orbiting closer then, perhaps close to where our earth orbits now.
It seems plausible that Mars was once like Earth is today. It seems likely that Earth will become what Mars is now. Venus will likely continue its evolution and its runaway greenhouse effect will slowly diminish, just like the Earth's did, and it will also be farther from the sun one day, about as far from it as we are now. It is easy to imagine Venus would then have beautiful oceans and as the planet cooled, life would form. And Earth will by then be dusty and cold, no oceans of water, no volcanic activities. Maybe one day Earth might have a Venusian probe being driven around remotely, looking at our dried up ocean beds and our empty barren land.
Anything is "plausible" to an uninformed imagination. No one knows what "time" it is or when and how it all began... So why make up so much Micky Mouse $*×$?
The existance of a higher intelligence is obvious, so why pretend He doesnt exist?
It takes more faith to extend The Beginning out Billions of years but there is no evidence for it. Itd all a big fake myth.
The sun will burn us up before that happens. Our sun will lose mass until it becomes a red giant and burns earth up. Coming soon to our solar system. Get you popcorn and soda! It will be a great show
Somewhere, Immanuel Velikovsky reads your comment and smiles.
The Earth never orbited the Sun closer than now. There is no water left on Venus, so these oceans will never return. Venus's runaway greenhouse effect will only get worse, not better.
Explanation looks great 👍
How much power would be needed to maintain artificially induced planet-scale magnetic field?
no power is needed, just a good will

Fusion reactors at the poles to move a current through the axis of Mars is a thought without knowledge of all involved magnitude variables . If this be a doable ...could improve the real-estate .
≈3Gw/h (large commercial reactor today) in orbit around Mars L1 Lagrange point would probably do the job.
Talking about moving to another planet after we messed-up our home is the greatest example of human hubris ever.
So why didn't NASA put windshield wipers or a blower on the panels so they could clean the dust off of themselves before power levels dropped too low?
Thanks for this new video. These discoveries are very exciting.
I hope Mars will be our next home (beside the Moon). It's not far from the Earth so it can be a new land to discover.
Thanks again!
Let’s spend those billions on earth
@@sharanpreet5559 sorry but your statement it's not fair. As an european, I gave less than 50 cents to Space programs. Maybe you should beguin to donate some of your money to help starving people on Earth (suprise: I do it).
@@sharanpreet5559 we can do both you know. There is nothing wrong with the desire to expand and go beyond - especially when it doesn't imply going to war with the natives due to theur absence
@@nickcher7071 agreed
The planet Mars died died because it lost its moon it had a moon similar size to ours Comment or an asteroid knocked it out of its orbit And when it did it cracked the core of Mars so so the core couldn't produce a magnetic field
I wouldn’t say cracked, but more or less de-consolidated/splattered the liquid core iron outward into the mantle. Some of that core iron even got mixed in with the magma flows and sprayed out all over the planet during eruptions, given Mars its icon red color as well as its numerous scattered magnetic anomalies.
I know about the importance of magnetic field long time ago.
Earth will also face the same situation once the Earth magnetic field is lost.
Mars is a much smaller in size. So the Mars core stopped its activity in production of magnetic field in much shorter time frame.
Now explain, why Venus has an atmosphere, without magnetic field and even closer to sun ;).
Venus has stronger gravity and despite its high surface temperature the temperature of the upper layers of its atmosphere are quite low, which also helps it retain its atmosphere. It's even believed that Venus's thick atmosphere induces a magnetic field, which may protect its atmosphere. Still I think the role of a magnetic field on atmosphere retention is overrated. It's mainly gravity and temperature.
@@mrdraw2087 Hey, thank you for catching up with me and your explanation.
Wouldn't it be funny if the next thing out of Elon's mouth is " so I figured out how to rebuild the red planets magnetic field " 😅 -
I wonder what we'll discover or build underground, on Mars.
If our own atmosphere starts getting like Mars, we'd need to go underground or underwater for shielding, and design/build a closed loop oxygen-producing and carbon dioxide system between us and farms of plants/algae/bacteria (e.g Perchlorococus) in order to harness and continue fresh oxygen production.
humans are dead in that scenario
I would love a video outlining this for Venus as well.
Mars once had water, maybe because there were a lot more water rich comets before they all ends up inside Jupiter like Shoemaker-Levy 9.
Long way to go before man can live on mars, cant even live on the moon yet!
How does anyone think we can survive on mars!
Cant even live in the International Space Station for 6 months without getting destroyed physical and mentally.
We could survive on the moon, if the base was entirely underground to protect against radiation. The moon has gravity enough.
We could survive on mars, if the base was entirely underground to protect against radiation. Mars has even more gravity than the moon.
We can't survive long in space because zero-G wrecks human bodies in countless ways - plus the issue of radiation. Humans really need at least some gravity to keep their bodies going.
We could survive in space, though, if we just built big enough: a centrifugal ring or cylinder, for example. We could protect against radiation with a meter-thick layer of water. The reason we don't? Really expensive and would require real dedication and determination to get it done.
But don't feel bad - I am confident that humanity cannot get its collective crap together well enough to do any of these things before the accessible resources run out. You can feel confident that humanity will perish still in the cradle, within a half-million years no matter what. More likely sooner, by its own collective hand. We're doomed, just like you want.
So... Whatever made That big giant gauge, looks like a big bolt of lightning struck it, valles marineris, whatever caused it, had absolutely nothing to do with the death of Mars? Looks like the aftermath of some kind of intentional damage to me, a battle scar, but I'm no expert. My intuition told me so, cause it was the first thing I thought, that came to my mind, when I first saw it.
I'm always suspicious cos all the footage they've shown us from Mars looks exactly like Central Australia where I live lol
We might as well set up living quarters on our moon first. It's closer. 🤔💭
In my theory of how the solar system was formed Mars is much older than earth and its interior much colder, not just due to its being further away from the sun but because it has had more time to radiate its heat into space. By contrast Venus is much younger than earth according to this theory. I don't think Mars will ever be habitable by humans nor will humans have the ability to terraform it. What's more even if humans lived on Mars safely its lower gravity would take a toll on human health. Be careful where you jump on Mars, you could hit your head against the ceiling. Anyway I congratulate Elon Musk for trying. Many have had the same fantasy but no one has actually made an attempt with the resources at Musk's command. I don't even see the possibility of anyone getting to Mars alive in the foreseeable future and even if they could it's a one way trip and life expectancy would be short. Just my opinion.
"In my theory of how the solar system was formed"
@@geminisfl I do not believe planets come into existence by aggregated clouds of smoke and dust. I learned a lot of things from physicists I don't believe because they made no sense to me. Now it's beginning to make no sense to them either. I had a 50 year headstart on them. If what they say doesn't convince me I try to figure things out for myself based on what I think I know that does. My conclusions are very different from theirs. Right now many of them don't know what to think. Of the two kinds of theories, those that have been proven wrong and those that haven't been proven wrong yet, a lot of their theories they believed in are falling into the first category and they haven't come up with replacements so far.
If planets came from clouds of dust there'd still be plenty of it around not just in our solar system but in the solar systems of 4000 exoplanets they've discovered so far and we wouldn't be able to detect them. Do I have another more plausible theory? Yes. Will I reveal it one day? Maybe.
So let me get this straight, Mars' mantle stopped moving after it was separated into an inner and outer core causing the magnetosphere to be lost, but the mantle is moving enough to cause earthquakes all day long. I think you observations from the amazing Mars Lander cancel each other out. So what exactly did we learn about Mars from this mission?
There are earth(Mars)quakes that happen all day long and you don't know why. You thought it was caused by Cereberus Mars' moon that is way smaller than Earth's moon, and our moon doesn't cause earthquakes.... So you reverted to saying well the Marsquakes must be happening because of the movement of the mantle.
It is ok to say you don't know why marsquakes are happening. These were the tests we made before the power was drained to critical amounts on the lander. As a result we are going to send a new mission to Mars that will include these tests: Test 1, test 2, test 3, etc.
If you be honest and let people know that more studying is required you might garner additional interest in exploring the solar system from the public because their is a Mystery afoot. Space exploration needs mystery to keep people interested NASA always has a reason even when it doesn't sound too convincing. If people are curious about the Mystery of Mars, they will make the politicians fund your research. It's ok to not know. It's called Learning.
well said buddy
I just wrote nearly the same thing but smaller and then saw your comment. Yes I thought at 6:07 that it was leading to some proven experiment, but then he started talking about liquid mantles happening over 10 million years in a certain region causing the earthquakes, then quickly moved onto something else.
I think Mars can become a second home in the same way a space station can. The only difference being maybe we could mine *some* of our necessities on Mars.
It would not be an easy existence.
The moon is a much better candidate. There's nothing that Mars has that the moon doesn't. It's only days away from earth instead of months and there aren't any planet wide dust storms. Aside from that a lunar colony could actually be useful as a gas station for rockets.
@@8kayydub8 I agree. And I believe we're already on our way to establishing a lunar colony. However, Mars has more by way of scientific discovery.
I remember reading somewhere that Mars would need a Satellite at the Mars-Sol L1 that puts out a 2 Tesla magnetic field, Average MRI puts out a 1.5 to 3 Tesla field.
That big scar on Mars defo looks like, to me, like an electric plasma strike. Similar but bigger to the Grand Canyon. The asteroid belt was the missing planet between Mars and Jupiter. Caused by what? A war?
Something else?
Planetary geologists think Valles Marineris began to open along geological faults about 3.5 billion years ago.
The faulting was caused by the tectonic activity that accompanied the growth of the giant volcanoes lying just to the west. The largest being Olympus Mons which is about 374 miles in diameter and over fifteen miles high. There are three other volcanoes to the east of Olympus Mons that are larger than any volcano on Earth.
Tinfoil hat in 3, 2, 1
I have always heard that Jupiter sucked up a lot of material that otherwise would have gone to making Mars larger. Who can say? Might have made it a viable world for life and a magnetosphere.
Mars will not be a second home for humanity on our current and foreseeable tech level.
Their is no need to investigate mars . It’s a waste of time. We should try to make our planet as best we can.
Nope. What we have here is potentially temporary whether we like it or not. Our species survival depends more space-age happening, than on Earth in the long run.
Eventually we may be a race of thousands of worlds, just to ensure survival against hypernova potentials or galactic core events that could sterilize entire regions of the milky-way, regardless of however good Earth may be.
Well, actually earths magnetosphere exists because of the giant hamsters running around inside earths hollow interior.
We owe a lot to those hamsters.
As the moon orbits Earth it helps to churn the molten iron core, like with the ocean tides. Flowing water doesn't freeze, at least not as quickly as still water, so I wonder if the same principle applies to the liquid/ molten iron at the Earth's core? That may help explain why Mars core has cooled, while ours is still churning away.
How about we just forget about living on a dead barren wasteland of a planet and just start taking care of our own very alive and beautiful planet instead.
I would put the loss of the Martian magnetic field around 100,000 years ago. I believe there is still some life there today, but it lives in harsh conditions, most likely underground, in micro-ecosytems here and there. I also believe that humans have been there already, several times, and are currently.
Add a few more zeros. The depletion of the martian atmosphere took hundreds of millions of years, not 100k years.
100 000 years? Where did you get that number from?
Everytime a sentence starts with "I believe", science dies a little.
@@MarsStarcruiser Don't you think we should worry more about the phrase " I also believe that humans have been there already, several times, and are currently."?
@@Cazy243 Don't you think we should worry more about the phrase " I also believe that humans have been there already, several times, and are currently."?
We've made such a success of our occupation of Earth, right? Idea: Let's recreate our unsustainable lifestyle on a planet even less likely to support it! Our collective hubris is breathtaking...
Even better: let's find sustainable places and fk em up too!
Thank you!!
It’s a lost cause. Musk is a fool.
So true. "We've ruined this planet, why not ruin another in the name of humanity!"
Convective currants?
Yum!
No not enough gravity, 0.375 that of Earth, That surely will cause life long issues.
Jesus Christ the son of God who came from heaven and was crucified for the forgiveness of our sins is coming back very soon to bring fiery judgement upon this wicked world and to gather his faithful ones with him to paradise just like it is prophesied. Seek him now and come to him while there is still a little time left for your soul. Read the gospels for yourself in the bible to know him and the path of Salvation. No one comes to God but by him and by his precious blood which was shed for all our sins when He was crucified. Heaven and hell are real places and there are countless testimonials of people who have had near death experiences that witnessed them firsthand. The bible is a real book. Everyone shall be judged by their hearts and actions in this life. Only Jesus is able to set you free from your sins. The time is very short. You have been warned. God bless you all that seek the Truth!
Stop drinking the koolaid
Why do you feel the need to came here to menace all of us? I'm really confused.
Hail Satan.
You want me to accept a human blood sacrifice to save myself? No thanks that's kind of sick.
@@rewtaah .......melts.
I think another rover should be sent, more rovers means we can learn more, also I would land it near the solar one and clean the panels, then move them apart, then you get two for the price of one
Interesting video
Look up the treble point of water you'll find Mars is not capable of liquid water with the lack of pressure it has half PSI atmospheric pressure compared to 14.7 that we have.
Actually mars only has 1/100 th of our atmospheric pressure, technically a vacuum compared to earth… or at least that is what we are told. With 7 1/2 lbs psi atmospheric pressure we could exist there without a full pressure suit… would be nice, all we’d need would be something like scuba diving gear to protect us from the toxic CO2 atmosphere… and really well insulated suit for the deadly cold nights, days near the equator wouldn’t be so bad.
im in awe of the people who figure this shit out
Cars have had windshield wipers like forever. You're telling me NASA couldn't put them on some solar panels?!
It also adds to complexity, so I think they made the conscious choice to not add any cleaning device and rely on another storm to clear the solar panels again.
There's nothing wrong with Mars, Mars isn't trying to be your planet.
Does terraforming Mars makes sense without a magnetic field?
Nope
We now know exactly what went wrong. It was when Mars decided that Ares was a top bloke.
Thanks nakra!
Has the change of the magnetic field on the earth been explained now ? I see to recall old ice studies showed that the magnetic fields at some point in time on earth did stop and reversed. (Like an electric phase change if I understood it correctly)
Scientists *Barely know anything about Earth*
Also Scientists "This is exactly what happened to Mars and it's 100% fact, you have to believe me about this planet literally non of us have been to because I have a PHD"
Is there a way, how can we artificially create a magnetic field within a large body, a noon or small plant?
Things would have to get pretty bad on earth before Mars could ever be considered a better alternative. It's a barren waste land, and there isn't even festering stinking marshland as far as the eye can see.
No way. Mars is a hostile environment for humans. I already feel sorry for those who will sign up for the Mars mission. We are lucky to be on earth. Let's hope we don't mess it up too fast. It's the place we've adapted to for a gazillion years. There is nothing better for us.
Rocky Exoplanets with a stronger athmosphere and good possible living conditions would be a better one
IF Mars was once a lush comfort terra like earth, then it should be restored and terraformed as soon as possible. But, if it turns out it was always that way and this is the natural look for Mars, it should stay red, and we can stay blue.
