    The fact that cryovolcanoes on Enceladus are creating one of Saturn's rings is one of the coolest things I've ever learned.

      @yakarotsennin3115 3 ปีที่แล้ว +86

      If you think that's cool, then I'm about to blow your mind.
      Where the rings are positioned over the equator of Saturn, it rains from the rings down onto Saturn.
      Yep you heard me, liquid water / water ice rain.

      Cassini truly was a revolutionary mission when it comes to outer solar system exploration. Not only did we land a probe on an object 1,500,000,000km away, but explored Saturn and its moons in phenomenal detail. We seriously need another mission to Saturn, but this time we can focus a lot more on the moons.

I love your wide eyed wonder and you belong in the international space community (federation?) in my opinion. Maybe humans could make the trip to Enceladus one day with rockets coated with semi conductors that absorb space radiation as protection and fuel and we can dive through the vents in a long thin shuttle to cut through the upward water pressure. You're the best.

    Imagine, a moon that makes a ring. Incredible and even more incredible that we can detect it. I never realized how small Enceladus is, it is hard to remember that moons come in all sizes since you rarely see them side-by-side. You did a great job of explaining that both by pictures and by narration, so thanks for that. It is disheartening to think that I will probably never learn what secrets Enceladus is hiding. With the next mission not likely for 20 years and now 68 y/o and in poor health I won't live that long, but there are plenty of other missions and places to explore that I will be eagerly looking forward to learning about.

That said, probably humanity would be able to live there, despite somewhere like Titan seems nicer due to the atmosphere, as, despite it is unbreathable, it makes living there easier

    I recall as a kid seeing the earliest images of this moon coming from Voyager .I became intrigued by the stripes and always felt like there was something very special about those features . Glad that we were finally able to get at least some basic data about it . Imagine how much more we would learn about our place in the cosmos if we didn't spend countless dollars for the military and senseless destruction over oil .
    Anyways aside from my ranting..great video 👍

      They have been testing a remote submersible probe in the waters off antarctica for this very thing, but it has currently been redirected to examining the grounding line under Thwaites Glacier to help determine the timeline of its recession. If it performs well though, it'll definitely be getting fast tracked(fast for space exploration anyway) for its original purpose of exploring the oceans of Enceladus or another moon.

      Because when a design for a mission is finalized, it's locked in, so there is no uncertainty about any of the mission parameters or capabilities. A number of missions have gone up carrying cameras technically inferior to the average phone camera at the time of launch, because when the design was approved several years prior, that was the best they could do.

    enceladus is the most interesting part of the solar system in my opinion. To think we only discovered life from thermal vents on our own planet 10 years ago is mind boggling, Life is everywhere!

    • @namikstudios
      @namikstudios ปีที่แล้ว

      Yep, considering how 1. it's already proven that life can exist under the right conditions (Earth) and 2. that those conditions may even be present in our very own solar system, the chance of life existing elsewhere in the universe is very high. In fact it would be shocking to me if it *didn't* exist elsewhere, rather than if it did. With such an enormous number of star systems with an incomprehensible number of planets, many with their own moons, there has to be many more Earths and Enceluduses out there: places that do or could support life.

Perhaps even get to see it as a potential place to make an "outpost" of humanity.
