Jupiter's orbit is 12 years. We weren't watching ANY of the stars for 12 year Transits. So the small amount of recorded gas giants comes from lack of observation, not empirical evidence.
Yes there's a good chance most planets even in the systems where planets have been detected have been undetected thus far. However what is also apparent is that super earths are very common and yet totally absent from our own solar system.

The common and purely theoric assumption was that most planets of other galaxies were gas giants, and that because of the comparative rarity of our star type, most systems were not only inhabitable but not even interesting. Yet, we now know how frequent solid, terrain planets are, and just how frequent water is on a galactic level (of course, in different states).

I don't think researchers were at any point suggesting that the lensing/wobbling/dimming methods for detecting exoplanets that were the only ones available to them even 10 years ago were fully free from bias. I remember documentaries from the mid-late 00s expressing the full awareness of the large-mass bias inherent to those methods and researchers explaining how that made it frustrating despite being in the middle of the first huge boom in exoplanet discoveries. The field has always been quite open about not having enough information to reliably say anything about the true distribution of planet and parent star characteristics in our little part of the galaxy. The field has also been very clear for at least 20-25 years that our Sun is actually a very run-of-the-mill, boring star, not particularly rare at all. As much as I agree with your closing sentence and the sentiment of optimism behind it, I think your characterisation of the state of research prior is a bit unfair
it's beyond exceedingly high, it's incomprehensibly likely. I would even say absolutely quaranteed. our expectations for what life needs are so high because we assume life will be exactly like us, forgetting our own planet had species that would die from being exposed to oxygen in the past (and even today!) that developed in a world completely different to what we now know. if we manage to send these little devils that live in rocks using chemosynthesis without any sunlight to even a remotely similar planet to earth, of which we in just this video have many good candidates, these micro organisms would thrive there and quickly spread everywhere and diversify into whatever. all they need is elements we know are going to occur everywhere. that is to say, some of those potential host planets, possibly even most of them, have likely developed microbial life by accident already. all you really need is some completely normal elements in temperatures that aren't burning or freezing for enough time and sufficient protection from the sun, which even on those red dwarves with pulsating suns could harbor underground or under the ice, in a nicely isolated and absolutely stable environment. complex life? yeah that's probably (whatever high number) of times more limited and even simple life needs some preconditions, our moon for example cannot foster that, as far as we know anyway. because it's geographically completely dead. let's recap: -between +100 and like -3 and stable. - temperatures don to a certain temperature might work too as we clearly see on our own earth and if a planet has a -magnetosphere it also produces some heat, so underground=warmer -magnetosphere (needs enough mass) (correlates with atmosphere so I won't mention that) -not gas giant -needs enough variety in elements (maybe guaranteed, I honestly don't know) -not around a super sun that's going to explode in a few million years, obviously and yeah that's about it. you have a shitton of potential candidates. all of this is just down to exactly how likely is a DNA-like structure to come about and with potential help from us that problem's solved immediately. if we can get there we will bring bacteria along whether we like it or not
Caelan, thank you for an outstanding production! 🤩 For a long time I have wished someone would make a video that explored our closest exoplanets in logical order🖖. Others tend to present these planets in a very random way, which left me rather confused. Good work! I would love to learn about astrobiogeograghy so by all means do it!
Not to mention how even if these earth-like potentially-habitable planets haven't developed any life, there's still the part where it might be able to support human life with minimal adaptation (be that biological or technological, like space suits and all that fancy stuff we use for space as we know it) needed.
I think we’ve long since past the Great Filter but the event is so improbably rare that Earth is possible the first planet to do so. That event is when a hunter bacteria didn’t eat another bacteria and that bacteria became the mitochondria. I think that event is so rare that we are possibly the first planet in the galaxy or universe to even do it.

If life could originate from thermal vents (we don't know yet) then it could have spawned on Europa and still live there, like life on Earth lives around thermal vents on the bottom of the ocean.

The biggest misconception we have about life, is that it is strictly bound to what we already know works. The fact that all lifeforms need oxygen, isn’t a fact at all, some single celled organisms have evolved to not needing it, so whats to say their is any bounds of what is needed for life. The reason we haven’t found any signs of life, is because we are looking for earth like life, which is most likely only native to.. earth.
@@TrySomeFentanyl Sure but all complex life needs it. Life is still a phenomenon of the universe bound by its laws. Life still requires energy and there are limited ways to get energy. The question is whether people are looking for any life (I.e something akin to a microbe) or if they want to find animal and planet analogues and intelligent life - which would require everything we do or at least most of it. Life doesn't just spring up its a continuous uninterrupted process spanning billions of years. There's no higher power controlling it and there's nothing intrinsically special about life other than it might well be exceedingly rare in the galaxy.
Thank you so much for this! I really love how much effort and care is placed into all of these videos. I'm really happy I'm subscribed! Might I offer this information that might be of interest to you: 1) Red dwarf stars are very common, but that's also because they have the longest life span, with the heaviest dwarf stars lasting 10s of millions of years, and the lightest living for more than a trillion years, compared to our sun's projected/suspected 10 billion year life cycle. 2) If memory serves correct, the most common way of detecting exoplanets is done using the transit method. If this is the case, the terrestrial planets orbiting closer to the star have a greater chance of being detected simply because they would transit in front of the star more often than gas giants that orbit further out. Like in our solar system, for example: Earth takes 1 year to orbit once, but Jupiter takes 12 years. You'd have to wait at least 24-36 years, observing our solar system from afar, to determine if Jupiter really was a planet, if that makes any sense. I hope you found this interesting, and I hope you have a great week!
The more we learn about outer space and the things in it, the more amazed I find myself about both outer space and life on our earth! 🤗 Can’t wait to see what we can find out with the help of the James Webb telescope! 🤞
This Video made me really excited for the future of Astrobiology! Or had you put it Astrobiogeography! I can't wait for the stuff the James Webb telescope will teach! And What more Quite interesting and Amazing Video you will make! Might I add, How much the Editing has improved since I was subscribed to this channel(Since the Antarctica Video came out)?

Absolutely we want another astro video! I can say your videos on space are BY FAR my favourite type of content on this channel, bring it on, the more the better :)
Science-Channel and Atheist-Channel are blood-related in many ways. Makes me sad how many Fans of either never noticed the countless Similarities and therefore miss-out.
I really hope the term Astrobiogeography and even more so the names Chip and Dale stick around. Your production quality and your ability to communicate complex topics really are special, you deserve to name a few things.
Really great video! I love this type of content. Perhaps a video on the relative position of these star systems to each other? (So that the routes that humans might be able to explore those systems can be shown)
I wonder if there is some almost universal configuration of gas to rocky mass in a solar system compared to the star. Like a super complicated formula that if you have the star's data then you can estimate how much mass for plants should be found orbiting it. That way scientists can better focus on possible systems and eliminate unlikely ones. They probably do....I just don't know about it.
Stars and planets are created by the same gas clouds. So maybe once we understand how gas clouds collapse into proto-stars better we could understand how much leftover mass there will be for a given star type and therefore using gravitational laws understand how many possible planets there could be. But maybe star systems don't allow for gas giants due to how mass is distributed in a planetary disc or vice versa.
It seems that metallicity is highly related to gas cloud colapse, so there might be the answer... but until we can detect all kind of bodies in a system reliably, we won't really know, right now all of our methods needs a good amount of interaction between a hosting star and a planet, but if the mass or volume ratio is too high, we wont be able to detect a lot of them...
Possibly but you have to account for the age and everything that happens in between their formation and their current state as we observe them. Some systems might have the majority of early planets ejected into interstellar space.
1:28 That's why I published three videos on my channel about the nearest terrestrial (and potentially habitable) exoplanets with all their information.
Crazy to think that even if we would ever figure out how to travel at almost lightspeed it would still take over 4 years to travel to the closest planet with potential life
Nonsense. Of course traveling at light speed the conventional way is impossible, so we have to find a way to cheat. Warping space or finding wormholes, for example. In that case there is no reason to limit ourselves to 1 x the speed of light.
In other words, 8 years at half the speed of light, and 16 years at a quarter of the speed of light, and 32 years at one-eighth the speed of light. Is that right?
With this video and the Earth 2.0 one, you've talked about all the systems in my sci-fi worldbuilding project, and given me some good ideas! The real question is, when will the third part of this trilogy come out?
His moon geography video has another idea for sci-fi world building, 2 habitable and equally sized worlds orbiting eachother. Now i would want to do the math to see if the tidally lock or whatever other effects would happen if you set their apparent sizes as the size of the moon in the sky, and absolute sizes at 1 earth mass/radius. Bonus points if both develop intelligent life at the same time. So much world building potential to litterally watch another civ develop on your moon and get radio to talk to them long before rockets to visit/fight them.
I flown around most of these systems. Travelling to all the stars of the Southern Cross was a bit of fun. There's over 70 light years difference between the four of them, as measured from Earth. But most systems are pretty boring. Trust me on this. And jumping between stars gets old, really quickly: the view never really changes. And the stars keep going on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on. Fuel scooping at the odd star doesn't alleviate the boredom, even when your ship's temperature means there are alarms going off all over the pace.
Great video! Super cool stuff. Your depictions of these alien worlds where really interesting and well done. The fact that we know so little about them made me very curious about everything that's in our own backyard, the objects we do know a lot about. The objects we have actual pictures of. You might've already made a video like this, but I think it'd be extremely cool if you made a video about some of the lesser known or interesting things we can find in our own solar system. Like moons of the outer planets that we've caught real pictures of and stuff like that. I found it extremely difficult to separate the rendered/edited from the authentic when looking for these types of images myself. You could also maybe talk about their compositions and future prospects if we ever get around to mining or transforming these worlds. Some other things I think would be really cool to have visualized in a video format could be the space between asteroids in the Kuiper belt or the size of Jupiter/Saturns cores. Or maybe the possibility of tidal forces on the satellite Phobos? That'd be kinda interesting if there's any grounds to that idea.
Just to clarify what I meant by tidal forces on Phobos: I believe it's been the common consensus for a long time that the grooves along Phobos exterior was caused due to an asteroid impact, but I vaguely remember reading somewhere that someone challenged this notion by suggesting that they're actually caused by tidal forces acting upon loose rocks and dust upon its surface. I don't know if this is a plausible theory tho, since Phobos is relatively quite small.
astrobiogeography sounds interesting... although with our present knowledge such a video would consist with almost pure speculations. great video as always! don't let us wait too long for another one ;P
I've been watching your videos for a while, but the video that made your channel stand out in my mind was the first Areology video. I'd love an astrobiogeography video (or several)!
Yes please make an astro biogeography video and also I imagine humans could go to at some point in the future Barnard's star and evolved to fill the ecological niches there an adaptive radiation from plant to animal to fungus-like forms
Even if some of the planets and moons are not habitable and could be “written off” or skipped, they still could be used as a space colony, mining operation, etc. as long as the surface is solid and the temperature is bearable. And plus who knows what minerals they could potentially hold.
I really dig your "Optimist Hat" phrase; I'm going to start using it myself if you have no objections...hey - maybe I can wear it along with "Upbeat Sunblock" nxt time I'm on an island/planet holiday? ;~] Great work, dude! Lord knows how you mnge so much research but it shows; good on you!
Great content and video production! I hope we find signs of life during my lifetime, but I'm very cynical about it. If we consider earth to be idyllic to the formation of life (indeed, it's the only environment we know of to have produced life), when we consider that life evolved on earth once and only once, I'm doubtful we'll find life anywhere else. Time will tell, perhaps, but I fear it's much, much more than just a few years away.
this september, ill be starting grad school for astrophysics, and the research ill be working on involves looking at a proto-planetary disc (the stuff that turns into planets around a young star) in the butterfly nebular using JWST and im super excited, theres so much cool research that can be done with it that we couldnt do before!

Keep it up 👍
last night, me and my friends talked about panspermia and its possible role in seeding life here on Earth from other planets, but with the idea of astrobiogeography, i'm starting to wonder how isolation-related evolution would look like in an interplanetary scale. like, what could have been the differences between life here on Earth and possible life on Mars or Venus back then? based on what we understand in terms of the factors related to the formation and evolution of life, could we figure out what life could have looked like if they started out in early Mars or early Venus? and considering that Mars had different conditions than Earth, what would be the differences between the life that evolved in each planet? for short...yes, please. we want astrobiogeography.
You should check out spec-evo! Some types of spec evo projects deal with how alien biospheres could develop given planetary conditions. Some are completely alien, and some are premised on "what if we dropped animals we know into this enviroment, what might they be like in millions in of years?"
We also have a bias toward exoplanets rather than exomoons, since the latter would be harder to find. Life is just as likely to appear there as on an exoplanet.
An astrobiogeography video would be a really exciting video to watch! It’d be interesting to see what you do and if you delve into speculative evolution.
I love things like this. Its interesting how much and how fast weve discovered things in the last few centuries! I remember when I was a kid they said Jupiter had only 16 moons. LOL!

Life doesn't just spring up its a continuous uninterrupted process spanning billions of years. There's no higher power controlling it and there's nothing intrinsically special about life other than it might well be exceedingly rare in the galaxy.
I love everything you make, and I especially love the variety. I'd love another astrobiogeography video soon, but no rush!
Hahaha I love the use of the Avatar nation symbols at 8:51
I'm a fan of the audiodrama wolf 359 (definitely worth checking out!), but I never realized it was based on a real star!
Is that about the Battle of Wolf 359?
@@GmodPlusWoW maaaaaaaaybeee
(Though it’s really more of a comedic series)
Thank you so much for this! I really love how much effort and care is placed into all of these videos. I'm really happy I'm subscribed!
Might I offer this information that might be of interest to you:
1) Red dwarf stars are very common, but that's also because they have the longest life span, with the heaviest dwarf stars lasting 10s of millions of years, and the lightest living for more than a trillion years, compared to our sun's projected/suspected 10 billion year life cycle.
2) If memory serves correct, the most common way of detecting exoplanets is done using the transit method. If this is the case, the terrestrial planets orbiting closer to the star have a greater chance of being detected simply because they would transit in front of the star more often than gas giants that orbit further out. Like in our solar system, for example: Earth takes 1 year to orbit once, but Jupiter takes 12 years. You'd have to wait at least 24-36 years, observing our solar system from afar, to determine if Jupiter really was a planet, if that makes any sense.
I hope you found this interesting, and I hope you have a great week!
The more we learn about outer space and the things in it, the more amazed I find myself about both outer space and life on our earth! 🤗 Can’t wait to see what we can find out with the help of the James Webb telescope! 🤞
27:45 I would absolutely LOVE to see an 'AstroBioGeography' video!
Yes, please make the Astrobiogeography video! That sounds awesome!
This Video made me really excited for the future of Astrobiology! Or had you put it Astrobiogeography!
I can't wait for the stuff the James Webb telescope will teach! And What more Quite interesting and Amazing Video you will make! Might I add, How much the Editing has improved since I was subscribed to this channel(Since the Antarctica Video came out)? Really nice work dude! Can't wait for the next one!
Absolutely we want another astro video! I can say your videos on space are BY FAR my favourite type of content on this channel, bring it on, the more the better :)
Science-Channel and Atheist-Channel
are blood-related in many ways.
Makes me sad how many Fans of either never noticed the countless
Similarities and therefore miss-out.
As a student of environmental science, active in a youth astrobiology club I LOVE your videos! This one was amazing! Keep up the good work
Whenever Atlas Pro posts it’s gonna be a good day
I can’t wait for your videos when JWST starts looking at exoplanets.
I really hope the term Astrobiogeography and even more so the names Chip and Dale stick around. Your production quality and your ability to communicate complex topics really are special, you deserve to name a few things.
Maybe GJ 1061 b could be called Joanne?
me too
You gotta do a Speculative Evolution project for Chip and Dale now. It is your duty.
'Wolf 359' .....Huh, that star is real and not something invented for Star Trek. Neat.
Really great video! I love this type of content. Perhaps a video on the relative position of these star systems to each other? (So that the routes that humans might be able to explore those systems can be shown)
I wonder if there is some almost universal configuration of gas to rocky mass in a solar system compared to the star. Like a super complicated formula that if you have the star's data then you can estimate how much mass for plants should be found orbiting it. That way scientists can better focus on possible systems and eliminate unlikely ones. They probably do....I just don't know about it.
Stars and planets are created by the same gas clouds. So maybe once we understand how gas clouds collapse into proto-stars better we could understand how much leftover mass there will be for a given star type and therefore using gravitational laws understand how many possible planets there could be. But maybe star systems don't allow for gas giants due to how mass is distributed in a planetary disc or vice versa.
It seems that metallicity is highly related to gas cloud colapse, so there might be the answer... but until we can detect all kind of bodies in a system reliably, we won't really know, right now all of our methods needs a good amount of interaction between a hosting star and a planet, but if the mass or volume ratio is too high, we wont be able to detect a lot of them...
Possibly but you have to account for the age and everything that happens in between their formation and their current state as we observe them. Some systems might have the majority of early planets ejected into interstellar space.
1:28 That's why I published three videos on my channel about the nearest terrestrial (and potentially habitable) exoplanets with all their information.
Congratulations on hitting a million, well deserved
🎉
I remember subscribing to this guy at 10,000 subs and thinking "his videos are so good, why does he have so few subscribers?"
Congrats on 1M subscribers i really enjoy your channel
Hey Atlas! I love ur videos and I know I'm going to love this video, keep it up! 💕
His name is Caelyn (I believe), not Atlas. I wouldn't be point this out but he did in a previous episode.
@@TheSpiritombsableye also seems to be an ATLA fan, but who isn’t?
Trek fans hearing Wolf 359: “We don’t talk about that place”
Incredible visuals and great detail!
Using the four elements symbols while also using the four elements trainer music, *chefs kiss*
Grats on 1M subs!
hats off for your efforts
genuinely one of my favourites
Crazy to think that even if we would ever figure out how to travel at almost lightspeed it would still take over 4 years to travel to the closest planet with potential life
almost lightspeed=time dilation
It would take longer than four years at the speed of light unless you intend on heading straight past it
@@nhatminhtranngoc8940 yep, 8 years (probably more since they gotta speed up and slow down) round trip for us, maybe few minutes for the crew
Nonsense. Of course traveling at light speed the conventional way is impossible, so we have to find a way to cheat. Warping space or finding wormholes, for example. In that case there is no reason to limit ourselves to 1 x the speed of light.
In other words, 8 years at half the speed of light, and 16 years at a quarter of the speed of light, and 32 years at one-eighth the speed of light. Is that right?
You know what be awesome, a video like this but it covers fictional planets from different sci-fi series like Star Wars, Halo etc.
yeah I would love to see a video on Pandora from Avatar that whole concept fascinates me
You've really grown in your ability to deliver great content.
Awesome video as always! For future reference, whatever idea you have - yes, we want to see a video about it!
I really thought space was pretty boring before I found your channel... Boy was I wrong
I recommend the exoplanets channel for this kind of stuff
With this video and the Earth 2.0 one, you've talked about all the systems in my sci-fi worldbuilding project, and given me some good ideas! The real question is, when will the third part of this trilogy come out?
His moon geography video has another idea for sci-fi world building, 2 habitable and equally sized worlds orbiting eachother.
Now i would want to do the math to see if the tidally lock or whatever other effects would happen if you set their apparent sizes as the size of the moon in the sky, and absolute sizes at 1 earth mass/radius.
Bonus points if both develop intelligent life at the same time. So much world building potential to litterally watch another civ develop on your moon and get radio to talk to them long before rockets to visit/fight them.
hopefully soon
The IAU names exoplanets that orbit stars that are visible to the naked eye. It’s a way to encourage outreach in astronomy.
8:51 Long ago all the planets lived in life but everything changed when the fire planet flared.
As a last airbender fan i so appreciate the nation symbols at 8:50!
I flown around most of these systems. Travelling to all the stars of the Southern Cross was a bit of fun. There's over 70 light years difference between the four of them, as measured from Earth.
But most systems are pretty boring. Trust me on this. And jumping between stars gets old, really quickly: the view never really changes. And the stars keep going on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on.
Fuel scooping at the odd star doesn't alleviate the boredom, even when your ship's temperature means there are alarms going off all over the pace.
great storytelling
Yes! I waited so long for you to upload a second video about exoplanets and here we are I am so happy, the video is really amazing and well made :)
Ive never been this early before
yep
Me too!
Cool
I have been earlier than any of y’all. Just ask my girlfriend……😂
Creeping closer and closer to Speculative Evolution every day
Great video! Super cool stuff.
Your depictions of these alien worlds where really interesting and well done. The fact that we know so little about them made me very curious about everything that's in our own backyard, the objects we do know a lot about. The objects we have actual pictures of. You might've already made a video like this, but I think it'd be extremely cool if you made a video about some of the lesser known or interesting things we can find in our own solar system. Like moons of the outer planets that we've caught real pictures of and stuff like that. I found it extremely difficult to separate the rendered/edited from the authentic when looking for these types of images myself. You could also maybe talk about their compositions and future prospects if we ever get around to mining or transforming these worlds. Some other things I think would be really cool to have visualized in a video format could be the space between asteroids in the Kuiper belt or the size of Jupiter/Saturns cores. Or maybe the possibility of tidal forces on the satellite Phobos? That'd be kinda interesting if there's any grounds to that idea.
Just to clarify what I meant by tidal forces on Phobos: I believe it's been the common consensus for a long time that the grooves along Phobos exterior was caused due to an asteroid impact, but I vaguely remember reading somewhere that someone challenged this notion by suggesting that they're actually caused by tidal forces acting upon loose rocks and dust upon its surface. I don't know if this is a plausible theory tho, since Phobos is relatively quite small.
I'm pretty sure his depictions are a game called Space Engine.
This is one of earliest i've gotten to a video 20 min
astrobiogeography sounds interesting... although with our present knowledge such a video would consist with almost pure speculations. great video as always! don't let us wait too long for another one ;P
I've been watching your videos for a while, but the video that made your channel stand out in my mind was the first Areology video. I'd love an astrobiogeography video (or several)!
Wolf 359! I hope there isn't a battle there sometime in the future.........
In the book Project Hail Mary, the Tau Ceti planets play a key role, very cool to see this video after reading it
I would love a video on potentially habitable moons such as Europa, Ganymede and Enceladus.
I believe to this day that underneath the frozen ice of Enceladus there's all sorts of alien creatures swimming in the oceans
YESS! Please make that video! All of your videos are pure joy for hundreds thousands of us (:
Yes please make an astro biogeography video and also I imagine humans could go to at some point in the future Barnard's star and evolved to fill the ecological niches there an adaptive radiation from plant to animal to fungus-like forms
Wake up Bois!!!! New Atlas Pro just dropped!!!
Congrats on hitting a million subscribers, keep up the good work!
"We haven't yet found any exomoons" professor David kipping at cool world's is damn close Rn so not too far away
An astrobiogeography video would be bloody cool!
Even if some of the planets and moons are not habitable and could be “written off” or skipped, they still could be used as a space colony, mining operation, etc. as long as the surface is solid and the temperature is bearable. And plus who knows what minerals they could potentially hold.
I love all your videos, but the space themed ones in particular, any more astrobiogeograhy would be amazing :D
I really dig your "Optimist Hat" phrase; I'm going to start using it myself if you have no objections...hey - maybe I can wear it along with "Upbeat Sunblock" nxt time I'm on an island/planet holiday? ;~]
Great work, dude! Lord knows how you mnge so much research but it shows; good on you!
Great content and video production!
I hope we find signs of life during my lifetime, but I'm very cynical about it. If we consider earth to be idyllic to the formation of life (indeed, it's the only environment we know of to have produced life), when we consider that life evolved on earth once and only once, I'm doubtful we'll find life anywhere else. Time will tell, perhaps, but I fear it's much, much more than just a few years away.
this september, ill be starting grad school for astrophysics, and the research ill be working on involves looking at a proto-planetary disc (the stuff that turns into planets around a young star) in the butterfly nebular using JWST and im super excited, theres so much cool research that can be done with it that we couldnt do before!
Dam, as a worldbuilder ,as soon as you mentioned the two rocky worlds, i was hoping you'd talk about pansperima, and i wasnt disappointed.
😅 I don’t know if it was just me, but you gave me philosopher vibe, the way you speak and your appearance, you have the philosopher spirit from back long ago, you might be the Plato or Aristotle of today’s generation lol, I think you’re one of the modern philosophers of today’s generations, a long with other TH-camrs with this Niche, always love seeing people passionate about discoveries, it always give me hope for the future, it will be interesting to see how technology advancing in 20 years to discover beyond our sight on earth and on the universe. Keep it up 👍
9:15 poor one out for my homies. Resistance was futile for them :-(
24:49 that slow down tho 😂
BRUH im early (lets goo) love your vids btw one of the best channels for this style of content
These types of your videos are your absolute best. Please make an Astrobiogeography video!
last night, me and my friends talked about panspermia and its possible role in seeding life here on Earth from other planets, but with the idea of astrobiogeography, i'm starting to wonder how isolation-related evolution would look like in an interplanetary scale. like, what could have been the differences between life here on Earth and possible life on Mars or Venus back then? based on what we understand in terms of the factors related to the formation and evolution of life, could we figure out what life could have looked like if they started out in early Mars or early Venus? and considering that Mars had different conditions than Earth, what would be the differences between the life that evolved in each planet?
for short...yes, please. we want astrobiogeography.
interesting
You should check out spec-evo! Some types of spec evo projects deal with how alien biospheres could develop given planetary conditions. Some are completely alien, and some are premised on "what if we dropped animals we know into this enviroment, what might they be like in millions in of years?"
My favourite planets: Chip and Dale
We also have a bias toward exoplanets rather than exomoons, since the latter would be harder to find. Life is just as likely to appear there as on an exoplanet.
Congrats on the 1 Million Subs! You deserve it and much more success with the amount of time, dedication and effort you put into your videos!
Gotta watch out for Wolf 359 in the future. Some bad shit is about to go down there according to Starfleet...
An astrobiogeography video would be a really exciting video to watch! It’d be interesting to see what you do and if you delve into speculative evolution.
I love things like this. Its interesting how much and how fast weve discovered things in the last few centuries! I remember when I was a kid they said Jupiter had only 16 moons. LOL!
''Did you believe your civilization was the only one to evolve in the glow of a red star, Superman?''
- Some guy who also has Superman-like powers
I love how Star Trek used an actual star system in tng. wolf 359 is one of my favourites
Honestly I find these type of videos of yours as the most interesting, fascinating and easy to digest. Great work !
Fantastic work, can't wait to see what comes next
Me: im gonna do something productive now
Atlas pro: uploaded video 1 minute ago
Me: .... i have time
Noticing the use of the avatar bending element symbols at 8:51 😆
CONGRATS ON THE MILLION SUBS! Much deserved brother it’s been a pleasure seeing the upgrade in video quality over the past 2 years i’ve been watching you, here’s to more success and even better, more knowledge to feed our hungry brains! we appreciate you💙💙
