In this video I use my PhD in atmospheric physics, along with the fantastic Dr Hannah Wakeford's PhD in planetary science, to examine the planets of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We review every planet from the MCU and compare them to known exoplanets, as well as the laws of atmospheric and planetary science.

This is really a space documentary to be honest, and definitely the most ambitious video I've attempted for this channel! In particular the planets from Guardians of the Galaxy (Vol 2 especially) really stretched our imaginations, though I think the planet which created the biggest discussion was Sakaar from Thor Ragnarok, or possibly Vormir from Avengers Infinity War. Hopefully this video adds a bit more to the discussion than your typical Marvel theory video though!

Many of the recent comments have been with regard to Asgard, so I'm going to pin what I replied with to one such comment here:
It is conceivable that Asgard is actually more like Sanctuary, being one large, unusually shaped asteroid with artificial gravity. We didn't consider this for a few reasons. Firstly, to make this argument would require extensive discussion of topics such as artificial gravity, hydrostatic equilibrium, rotational forces, etc. As the first planet to be considered, we didn't want to go super heavy and intimidate the viewer, especially as some of those topics are better covered in a few other planets, such as Sanctuary. Secondly, the purpose of this video was never to be 100% accurate and cover every eventuality - you could wrangle an explanation about pretty much any planet in the MCU with enough thought and hand-waving. The point of the video is to communicate planetary science, and so we picked our battles with what to cover and when to cover it, while still being as accurate as we can be. So Asgard served as a neat intro to planetary rotation, which can then be returned to in future planets considered. Lastly, Asgard is a planetary body with an infinite supply of water and some kind of atmosphere which is retained by some unexplained method (it ain't gravity), as well as having days and seasons without a star. We could have picked a number of things to have ruled on impossibility, but with respect to my previous point we felt that considering rotation made the most sense for the rest of the video!
Well said!
A-kon is not surrounding a star there that's all destruction caused by seeds sown by Ego.
Quick question regarding Vormir. If the astrophysical jet is caused by a massive black hole and the planet being so close to it, couldn't we theoretically say that the orbits stay in balance due to gravitational time dilation of the black hole?
you should have just said that the planets couldn't exist _without technology_
What about how morag floods every couple of months and giant structures are just submerged, is that realistic?
Can’t believe he forgot Star Lord’s planet, Missouri.

-Do you wanna talk about the role of magic in planetary physics?
- *NO*
_I like this one._
Side note: When Thanos was originally introduced in the comics in 1973, he was from OUR Titan. The moon orbiting Saturn. With the scientific knowledge of the time it seemed feasible to comic book writers that it could have been terrestrial. In the 21st century that was just not going to be accepted by the audience.
Well, It would be strange that a lot of things are happening on that Saturn's moon and we don't know absolutly nothing about it
Honestly I've always taken the MCU Titan to also be our Titan, just a radically different version of it that bears no resemblance to the actual one. I mean I already accepted that there's gravity in Ego's core, so this is like "whatever."
Anyone up for terraforming Titan? Earth’s been on the fritz for a while now, and I’m looking to upgrade.

"Asgard is shown to be a flat disc"
*Flat earthers liked that*
For them Asgard is actually the only one that's realistic
that's not the flat earth model you troll
Nikita Borodins Asgard looks like a flat disc.
Norse pagans like that. That’s probably one of the only reasons why they made Asgard a disk, because that’s what ancient Germanic people believed the world looked like.
@@christianali5431 it's made with supports which are made of some godly metal and at the small city scale of asgard that weight is nothing
I always wonder if there are a few idiotic Asgardians who insist that Asgard was a sphere.
Yooo they made Earth from the MCU into a real thing
I'm such a big massive marvel fan I actually moved to it
Omg they did
That's so cool
Bruh, they also made people! WHAT?!
Kowalewski, analysis
@@memistcentral2044 holy crap, I juuuuust realized that. Crazy huh?
Svartalfheim does not have an eclipsed sun. It is stated in the movie that it is actually an accretion disk of a black hole.
Oh...i must have missed it.. When actually
Wait. Won't Svartalfheim get sucked because of how close it is to the black hole?
@@humanman2358 it could orbit the black hole, but if it's too close it'd just be ripped apart into dust, so a maybe on that one
In svartlheim, its not a star, its the outer ring of a black hole. It was explained by the production crew
@@humanman2358 Is extremaly possible for a planet to orbit a black hole. however the light disk arrond the black hole impplies that it is absorving some kind of star, maybe the star where the planet was formed since is super super hard for a black hole to formate a solar sistem.
I think when star lord said its "8 degrees off axis" I think he meant 8 off from its original axis like it was moved, but that would take a lot of energy so who knows what would cause it.
Possible asteroid? but theres no aftermath of a large asteroid collision
That’s how I took it. 8 degrees off the recorded axis.
I took it to mean the planet's axis isn't going straight through the center of the planet. It's 8 degrees off center. It's day/night rotation is no longer a perfect spin. Spinning trough space more like a lopsided dodge ball spins in the air.
The watchers from the fantastic four comic books gave the Kree technology and they destroyed many many civilizations. Although Thanos states they were on the brink of collapse because of too many people maybe they also had gotten intermixed with the Kree and the deviants (Thanos is half deviant half celestial) which are why they are why the planet is 6 degrees off its axis.
I just realized I’m way late to reply
@Bryon Turner My brain immediately jumped from this idea to ‘they were mining their planetary core for resources towards the end.’ It would fit in with Thanos’ motivations and backstory.
When Starlord said the planet was 8° off it's axis, it's possible he could have meant that it's shifted from what the axis is supposed to have been. So, a + or - shift of 8° and not actually 8° off true north.
They said that in video turning a planet by a few degrees does little in the long term
Knocking a planet off its current axis by 8° would actually cause a lot of damage to the stuff on the surface. Think about it. What sort of force would it take to do that? The axial drift that the Earth does takes millennia and is gradual. You can surmise that what happened to Titan was sudden and required a lot of force.
@Brainjock but she did allude that if it happened in a short enough time frame it could cause damage
The 8 degree tilt could be a symptom of whatever caused all the damage, such as a massive asteroid impact
@Brainjock I've never had an 8 degree shit that was too bad
"8 degrees off axis" - Now you know how programmers feel during every hacking scene ever...
@@LucasCarter2 true
I was thinking... could they have meant something like 8 degrees off from the general planetary elliptical plane? In which case, highlighting its absurdity... does make sense.
HACK THE PLANET

@@ben_1 - Move over!! (more hands on the keyboard)
i feel like asgard is more of an artificial megastructure than planet though, given that it's from a magical/scientifically advanced civilization. so you could probably treat it the same as sanctuary
also, a planet i want to see in sci-fi, diamond planet. and people fight over ownership of it.
purely so they can say they own the universe's biggest gem. (IIRC that exists right?)
you could probably break off bits of diamond with future tech fairly easily too? if diamond has any real worth anymore at that point that is.
Lokrohk yup
The closest I’ve found to a diamond planet in fiction is the Adro system in the book Tiamat’s Wrath. It’s a diamond the size of Jupiter that is essentially a giant computer storing the data of an entire Alien Civilisation.
@@dionemoolman Jupiter is theorised to have a diamond core, I think Arthur C Clark mentions it.
And regarding the original comment - I don't see why diamond would have much value in the future, we can already manufacture it with our current tech.
Just conquer jupiter. It rains diamond there
Diamond already doesn't have much worth. It's significantly less rare than jewelry companies would have you believe. It's just throttled and released into the market slowly so it keeps its value. It's why bought diamonds lose their resale value the instant you buy them. They really didn't have much to begin with. Have you ever wondered why diamond coated sandpaper or diamond drill/cutoff bits aren't as expensive as jewelry?
They're incredibly useful because of their hardness, however. In grinding and other such subtractive industrial methods, diamonds are fantastic because they can scratch any other material and don't get scratched themselves. Cody'sLab actually made a video about scavenging diamonds from highways after construction work because they fall off of the concrete cutting equipment. They're yellow and small, so they wouldn't really have much value, but it's really interesting nonetheless.
GIANT uncracked bits of diamond would surely still have immense value though, at the very least because of their rarity and/or novelty, so I'd imagine a diamond planet would still be very profitable for whoever "claims" it. Hopefully could also make non-industrial diamonds more affordable overall if we provably have such an excess
16:33 Are we sure that that is a blue star and not Ego's expansion?
Its expansion
I would like to point out that Nowhere is the size of a large asteroid, not a small planet.
Stian Bekken they already say”and nowhere which isn’t technically a planet but we’ll roll with it “
@@doopdacoop4054 but they then say at 10:12 that it is the size of a planet
lavakraken good point
It’s a celestial skull or something
Idk why yeah its a mining colony in a celestial skull
16:30 it isn’t a blue star, is the effect of the ego plant growing in the planet
Cristóbal Quiroz thank you for pointing it out it’s kinda obvious
I didn’t meant to sound mean towards you I mean the people making this video should have known that it’s obvious not a star
Robert Garcia then why they based the whole idea on it being a blue star?
Cristóbal Quiroz I really don’t know at all. It’s kinda obvious that blue light was ego
ikr, that looks nothing like a star.
15:10 Because the 4 moons are in different places in the sky, they should be showing different phases. They can't all be full moons unless they're lined up together.
@@joopmoop4089 There's way more then just "arcseconds" difference between the moons in the video. It's tens of degrees.
If you draw a triangle with a point at the star, the planet, and a moon, the angle at the planet is what matters most for the phase, not the angle at the star.
11:13 "Sure, why not?"
The most positive attitude towards Alien tech by a scientist! 😅
"Things got a lot more interesting in "Thor the Dark World"... Said no one ever"
I didn't hate that one. There were some "No it doesn't" moments, but overall a fun watch.
The second Thor movie is actually one of my favorites out off all MCU. It is so stylish and beautifully done.
@Brainjock
The 3rd is too wacky and all-over-the-place. I was very disappointed with it, while the 2nd one I saw 3 times just in the cinema.
@Brainjock
I still do)
Eltaurus do you have the taste of a charred walnut. The third is pretty universally acclaimed for its humor and falling out of the drab boring kingdom of Asgard in fact the main criticisms are out of the movies control such as having to wrap up Asgard to move onto more interesting space adventures.
Simon Clark: Which MCU planets could really exist?
Me: earth?
That one is questionable
I am not quite sure whether MCU Earth could exist. Requires bit too much believe to some hypersuperfantastic materials and magic
No
Earth?
They just talked about someplace called "earf."
No it couldnt exist you dumbass like there are weird things like puppy’s they are waaaaaay too dangerous so no earth cant exist
First ever video I’ve watched on this channel and I just gotta say it’s probably the best thing I’ve seen on this site beautifully edited!
This video was a random suggestion in my sidebar and you've already got me subscribing. Not only was this a fantastic scientific video stripped down for the non-scientists, but you came at the subject from a fan's/respective perspective in terms of making things enjoyable as well as educational. Great mix and the two narrators play off each other really well.

@@shauntumeke yeah
Apparently, both Morag and Xandar are located in real star systems in the Andromeda Galaxy as shown by those strings of numbers that first appear when the planets' names are shown onscreen in GotG. I thought that was a nice touch.
There is an anime called "Astra: lost in space" that showed a tidally locked planet. Just thought you guys might want to know.
“Your ancestors called it magic and you call it science, where I am from its both the same”

Enough said
That can mean they pretty much treat magic like you would science. Magic in fiction pretty much always has it's own rules, especially in the Marvel Comics. Magic is just hacks or loopholes exploited in the laws of physics. Magic isn't real but that is how it usually is in fiction. Besides the Science in Marvel is more magic the way it works than the actual magic is.
@@ronpetersen2317 Maybe it's the fact that both are the fundamental forces of the universe approached from different perspectives?
@@gajbooks I wouldn't say "in fact" but within fiction, especially in a modern day or future setting that has magic ... sure

The thing about the sancuary where Loki meets with Thanos is that they're only there in mind, not body. Loki didn't suddenly transport himself to the meeting, he just sent his consciousness. As I'm sure Thanos and his little buddy are doing as well..So there wouldn't need to be any kind of breathable air or laws of nature. It's just all in their heads. So they can make it look and feel however they want.
i like this. an analysis with the editing humor of a film review. surprisingly fun!
Y'know what kind of planet I want to see more in sci-fi? Rogue planets, those that don't orbit a single star and instead just roam the galaxy forever.
Something that Hannah wanted to put in this video is that almost all MCU planets seem to lack an obvious star - apparently Marvel agrees with you ;p
They would be extremely cold, probably colder than -100 C
@@boaz7028 Unless a civilization developed some kind of internal planetary heating system. Either way there would be a lot of potential.
How do u expect anyone to see anything
@@EnyaShello Just because you don't orbit a star doesn't mean there aren't any stars nearby. As the planet travels through the cosmos it would be illuminated by random stars. Either that or just use a flashlight.
Yoooo, what about Subnautica's planet, 4546B? Like, the whole extinction event timeline and stuff. Is the distant-past lore of the planet realistic?
The ending of subnautica is nothing like how real life works. Fyi in below zero the space station should be moving and yet let alone it shouldnt be that size.
Devs have no concept on how space works or simple geometry
DanDeMan it's to make it interesting, in real life it would look like a fast moving star

Half real half not real, like the moon is too close first of all but Mini Neptunes (Super Earths) are common.
@@iCore7Gaming yep, like the ISS is barely visible and it's probably smaller than the planet Earth
Kudos to the production quality and scientific insight
Wow, this video was so well done, massive respect.
When they said Titan is 8 degrees off its axis. The important part is when he said its. Implying that some force moved it from its proper axis to the new one.
Star-Lord says Titan "is 8 degrees off *its* axis", which I always assumed meant there was a record of it before it ended up the way it is now, and that it NOW was 8 degrees off of its ORIGINAL axis. Don't know much about planetary science so I don't know whether or not this would affect the planet at all, but that's what I assumed when Quill said that.
Also Star-Lord is many things, but a scientist is not one of them.
This is an amazing video you guys worked on, I never knew much about the planets of the mcu like this

Alright, but how plausible is it that EVERY single planet in this universe has a gravity so ridiculously close to Earth that it isn't ever considered when shooting these movies?
"Reality can be whatever I want" said the directors
Correction: Every single planet "shown" in this universe. As far as we know, they could just so happen to show us some planets that are habitable. There are most likely many more other planets that's so bizare, dangerous, etc. It's just so happen that our heroes haven't gone there yet. Why would they, right?
maveth has higher gravity than earth, but they didn't cover the tv shows.
They show planets with these gravitational force same as earth cos that is what makes the planet habitable maybe? there are millions of galaxies we dont know. so anything can be possible.
@@rayawira Jotunheim and Muspelheim can not be habitable by Humans in the mcu they would instantly being on those to planets

It is like a Dyson sphere
@@SaulOhio Magic. It's Marvel. They could magic Something Something Science it.
At the very beginning, they prefaced this video by stating that they would *not* be trying to account for the stated or implied magical properties of the various locations that had it.
They were attempting to deduce how plausible these locations (as a few are not planets or moons) under our current understanding of known science.
@@self-satisfiedsmirk5544 Which is a dumb thing to do. And probably added because they knew people would call them out on it. We can't say a planet is not possible just because we don't have the tech possible currently. Also they set things as plausible because unknown Alien materials anyways. So they did take into account tech we don't have sometimes. They are just not consistent with it.
Best Video I've seen in a while! Best of both worlds: Entertainment AND Science. Love it!
Comics and science in 1 amazing educational video. Good job for this one. I am entertained yet informed.
Time to plug this everywhere I can
Nice video! Just a question: In the MCU, Morag is said to have tidal periods of around 300 years would this also be possible?
It is an interesting question. I thought about it and I would say it is possible, not for Morag though. It seems unlikely for several reasons though. Having a tidal period of 300 years means that the planet has its moon quite far away from it. A planet like earth will need to have a moon around 97 million km away from it, in contrast, our moon is 384000 km away from us. Also, there should be no other body around because then that will have the dominant effect on the tidal cycle, this is clearly not the case on Morag as several planets can be seen from the surface. Where is this mentioned though?
It could still have an effect on a theoretical planet's tidal forces.
It is mentioned outside of the film. I think a tie in comic

Also all the planets could be possible. I mean it’s not like all planets have to follow the same rules some could be extremely strange or be an exception to the rules.

Your choice of quote from each film was PERFECT.
And the whole concept was fascinating but I’m bowled over by cryovolcanism, that sounds incredible.
13:05 I feel like in a sci-fi setting like this and a faction as advanced as the sovereign along with the ability to have gravity on craft with having to barrel role constantly then the sovereign would be able to have mass drives or something similar to keep these planets from oofing
Asguard Looks like a City then an entire planet maybe Zakar has Artificial Night and day and environments
You'd think that would be out of the budget of a trash planet though.
@@reecerobin8413 but get of materials from digging through junk piles
@@reecerobin8413 I would think the Game Master has a near unlimited Budget. Being so damn powerful and all.
I imagine that artificial day/night systems and atmosphere generators/moderators are fairly common in a galaxy where there are literally artificial planets everywhere. Even if not, Zakar more likely than not had the ability to create one from scratch with what they were given, considering that there are certainly engineers capable of doing so. I mean, there are starships on Zakar that are arguably more advanced than that of Asgard and its tech. And Knowhere obviously had to have its own atmosphere to become the striving colony it once was. So in the MCU, I believe it would be relatively easy for an engineer with entry-level experience to create artificial atmospheric generators.
It spins under the various Einstein Rosenberg Bridges where they all dump garbage but some emit more photons than others.
Nicely edited vid Simon!
Absolutely fantastic video
29:14 Remus in Star Trek Nemesis was tidally locked. The people lived on the night half, but mostly underground. Seemed like a tough place for to evolve though so maybe they came from somewhere else.
It's also why they're photosensitive. They lived in perpetual darkness.
There was also a tidally locked planet in the Stargate SG-1 episode "Broca's Divide". It wasn't visually portrayed 100% realistically but I assume that was due to TV budgetary constraints.
They did come from somewhere else the entire Romulan race are exiled Vulcans. Reamens are just further changed Romulans.
Love this prospective, futuristic approach to science! You're looking into the future of potentially discovering and traveling to planets we didn't know existed (but want them to), so on an astrophysical level...Me, on the other hand, I'm often wondering: "What if someday the Neogenetic Recombinator by Dr. Connors could be reality, and we really could crawl walls like Spidey, or have some sort of symbiotic armour like Venom or Carnage. So I'm pondering on the biotechnology side. Just imagine. Would be so cool! What a source of power that would be... and what an amount of responsibility would need to come with it ;)
Just out of curiousity, in the case of the worlds with seemingly perpetual eclipses, could it not be possible that th body blocking the sun isn't a moon but a larger celestial body (planet) closer to the sun with a slower, similar orbit that could, in theory, cause eclipses that could last decades? I mean inevitably the orbits would progress the eclipse similar to how the moon eclipses progress but if the world was large enough, closer to the sun and moving in a near synchronized orbit it could be feasible? It would assume of course that they happen to visit these worlds during the time in question, but the window could be so huge as to be likely as well. Neither of the worlds that were eclipsed seemed to bear great amounts of life, possibly having died off early in the eclipse cycle, but the Dark Elf would gave rise to a sentient species which suggests that there was a long enough period prior to the perfect alignment for life to have evolved before the die off..
Unfortunately, the speed of an object's orbit is determined by its proximity to the object it orbits, not its mass or other factors. This means that synchronous orbits of planets at two positions in the solar system are effectively impossible.
I think you haven't watched Thor : The Dark World. It is mentioned that Svartalfheim orbits a Black Hole
Now I’m bout to go watch all the MCU movies
Watch it again
I love how Simon credits himself at 18:26 lol
Great video Simon, looking forward to more stuff like this!
Anti-freebooting strategies, I presume.
Ahh, I made a simulation just like that! Except for collisions (yet). I ought to make a game out of it!
Loved getting to chat with you a little at yogcon simon! Thanks for another brilliant video (excuse the pun)
What an amazing video !!!
Loved this!!
Awesome video !!!
As James Gordon would say "Not the video we need, but the one we deserve"
I want to hear about more PLANETS !!!!!
Would love to see you tackle some of the worlds of Star Trek!
Perhaps another in this series!
....that video would be 23 hours long.
@@VCYT You say that like it's a bad thing
This was immensely entertaining for a person who is obsessed with both exoplanets and the MCU. Thank you.
Lovely video. Watched all 30 minutes t 1.5 speed but it was entertaining. I just like it fast.
I've never enjoyed an education video like I did this one !!!! even after it ended I wanted more !!!
The earth in the thumbnail looks like it has buff arms.
This video is very well done.
Awesome video!
It'd be great to see you look at the planets introduced in the MCU TV shows too.
Huh, I always thought Vormir actually orbited a black hole, and the light from around it was the accretion disk.
You could be right, however I doubt it. Accretion disks usually have a tail leading to a body it just ripped apart and ate.
@@artemisorwhatever9828 They don't have to, though. It might have completely destroyed a star, and all that's left of it is the accretion disk.
So like mini Gargantua
Concerning the Quantum asteroid field in GotG 2, I believe that these may actually be possible. It’s a stretch considering what we know about quantum mechanics right now, but stay with me. If there is an undiscovered force in the universe that influences quantum particles on a MACROscopic level and then you apply the principle of quantum superposition, these quantum asteroids could be possible. I know this is extremely unlikely, but hey...it’s fun to think about. Who knows what other forces are out in the void.
A potential solution to Svartalfheim is that it is actually a moon of a major gas giant at the L2 point. At L2, an object will remain directly opposite to the star relative to the planet, which could cause a permanent eclipse provided the gas giant’s shadow extends that far. While the Lagrange point L2 technically isn’t stable (as over time bodies will drift away), this can be solved by saying there’s some form of magical orbital adjustment using some unknown power source, which isn’t impossible considering the enormous amounts of energy used and possessed by the Asgardians.
well, considerably, Svartalfheim was confirmed to be orbiting a Black Hole, which means that most of the information that you've said is sadly outdated...
"Absolutely no spoilers!"
Promptly shows Vision wielding Mjolnir, and Asgaard exploding.
Endgame spoilers idiot. By your logic then then Ironman 1 which premiered on 2008 contains spoilers
@@nerovanguard846 From what little information you have on this random person on the internet that you just called an idiot, is them being an idiot really a fair statement?
uhhh yeah like these movies were a long time ago who tf would care. so yes
@@imasianstayaway2922 What are you like 12? A long time ago? It hasn't been that long.
Kur Norock it was 2 years ago. If you haven’t seen it that’s your fault
Awesome video Simon! Though there is one planet that only features in the MCU TV series, Maveth from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which might also be quite interesting. Also for a future video maybe take a look at Stellaris is with it's planet and star classes and the various anomalies you can find.
I did want us to include Maveth at first but it would have been a tangent to the narrative set up so we decided to take it out of this video.
So enlightening ~ Would be cool to see Mass Effect Planets edition
This was just a lot of fun!
Amazing video! SEO YES!
Brilliant video, cannot comprehend the number of views
22:38 yes, what is THAT? I was almost scared by it being pointed to me.
This video is fascinating! I love the explanations thus far. A fun little fan theory for the quantum asteroid field (that I came up with in the last ten seconds) is that Odin messed an area of spacetime up with the Space and Reality Stones (hence the quantum weirdness and blue-red effect) during his interplanetery conquest. We know he could certainly have had both of those Infinity Stones at the time, and my personal thinking regarding why Hela was banished was that she refused to settle down when Odin realised that he could not face sacrificing her for the Soul Stone.
