@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 and how do you interpret the "do no harm to humans" line in that case.....because some scenes in that film did some emotional harm to children^^
When I've heard what MOXIE experiment did I thought to myself "That's a ton of oxygen!" even though it was only 5 grams. Good on ya, little fella! And I hope Ingenuity exceeds every expectation and keeps buzzing around Perseverance forever.
Well done, Dr. Becky! I've shared videos from your channel to friends and family members who are teachers. You now have a growing audience in American public school classrooms! While they may only represent "one" subscriber, the content is being viewed by several classrooms filled with young, curious minds!
[Apologies if someone has already noted this.] Remember, "Blue Bends Beautifully; Red Refracts Reluctantly." -- If refraction were the issue, the moon would be blue during lunar eclipses. What actually causes the red color is scattering (and likely some absorption) in the atmosphere.
Dear Dr. Becky your enthusiasm is much more contagious than the covid and does a great job helping us hold out these awful times, thanks for that. Don't ever change, we love you all so much !
@@jari2018 Oh, yes, Amy knows her stuff and is a superb presenter. And occasionally Curious Droid, but he also covers other fields of technology, but definitely worth a view.
Small correction: at 1:40 Dr. Becky says its because the Earth has an atmosphere that it has a penumbra and umbra. That is not quite true, all objects have an umbra and penumbra when being cast light on by a spherical light source, its because of Earth's atmosphere that Earth's *umbra* specifically is fuzzy, whereas other planets would have a crisp umbra and penumbra boundary.
I was actually waiting for this! I checked earlier today to see if there was something new. It always makes me very happy and excited to see the notification. Thank you for fueling my astropassion:)
Commenting to feed the algorithm. And I enjoyed reading your book. Fast read, but still learned a few things. Hope to share it with my kids one day and hopefully get them curious.
I will feel as depressed as when I heard the news of the last message from Opportunity. But certainly not as much as the science team has been after following Oppie during fourteen great years !

Best episode yet Dr. Smethurst. I lived 10 miles from Cape Canaveral in 1964-1968 (Cocoa Beach, I was age 3-7). My earliest memories were of seeing the Gemini and Apollo program launches. My father actually met Gus Grissom before he died in the training fire. My Dad had a part time job at a gas station and Gus stopped there regularly to fill up his Corvette. I've been a hard core space nut my entire life because of those days. I turn 60 in a couple months. I hope to witness us become a multi-planet species, but my window is closing. I'm sure you'll see it happen, unless we can't pull our head out of our collective a$$es that is. Keep up the good work.
I hope you get to see it! I’m in my 30s and already I sometimes lament at how little of mankind’s future I’ll get to know. I want to know how the story ends. It feels like it takes so long for us to inch forward, but when you look back it all happened so fast. Especially these last 200 years compared to all the years before it and so so much within our single human lifespans. My mother is 77 and it is wild whenever I think of how she was 25 when man landed on the moon. Those black and white historical films to me were her lived youth. Man even going from a barely-colour TV with horrible signal when I was a kid to these magic devices billions of us are all now carrying in our pockets. Wilder than what I could have ever dreamed.
It literally looks like a solar energy laser, JWST. She looks so child like when she GETS to speak about black holes. But luckily for us she’s way to light to crush the IPad for the ELT (extremely little telescope) It was a great episode! But there’s no way I’m FALLING FOR THAT MARTIAN WIND TRICK AGAIN! But I would be Scientifically motivated to call the Mars space drone, Pebbles. Penumbra Umbra 👍🏼 ! Da moon is pink. But what is that light wave pattern about 1:55 which is similar to the solar pattern imaged on some earth globes, which traces like a horizontal figure 8 pattern? Our physical sun has a slight wobble, which translates this daily or yearly pattern? 24:40 maybe we can’t see without a slight wobble? Sorta being the definition of time as the functioning of eyesight. Like a.c. But different. And broken currents, dark matters might be like 26:17 and why stars illuminating black holes is not a word. Some things are separated for a reason. Like Church and State if you’re someplace United States. In this case the light has a particular strong structure against space. A white hole. The crushing force of outer outer space is not the same “intrastellar”, even if the moon is near -11 atmospheres it’s nowhere near being outside of light or without light. Going back to the idea of a solar mechanic and a solar core which operates the Star. I’ll probably have to edit. I just wrote numbers down without denoting the timeline.
I might change my name to: Da Moon is Pink. And say: Da moon is pink. on every episode like flat earth guy’s cause they’re funny 😄. I need a flower face. EDITED: Penumbra Umbrage! Da Moon Is Pink. But only in shadow, what color are we? EDITEDED: is the mini eclipse a Penumbra?
@Dr.Becky, I love your channel and look forward to all your videos. In case you were really wondering, the study of Mars geology (and all of Mars, actually) is called Areology. Cheers!
It’s too bad we’ll miss the eclipse here in T.O. Next one. 😉 Ingenuity has exceeded everyone’s expectations. Well done to the team!! 👏🏻👍🏻. Kudos for extending its mission and helping out Percy when it attempts to roam around. 👍🏻 Always grateful for your vids! ❤️
Hey Dr. Becki, again great space news! And thanks for honouring the late Michael Collins. One thing that was a bit of a jump scare, was that for hearing Ingenuity's buzz turning up the volume was inevitable. So a split second after hearing Ingenuity your usually lovely voice struck like lightning. 8)
You are so refreshing! Thank you for presenting information in such an understandable manner :) I luv how you are not self conscious in front of the camera :)
At the last eclipse here in the US, I discovered what happens when eclipses filter through tree leaves; tons of mini eclipse shadows. It was so wonderful.
I love your work! Just a note from an old chemist. I know you understand the difference, but it would help clarify the chemistry of combustion if we don't refer to oxygen as flammable. Of course it is a critical contributor to combustion, but as an oxidizer. So, for example, wood, kerosene and natural gas are flammable when they combine with an oxidizer like oxygen. Net: oxygen is not flammable, but would be key to future rocket engines leaving Mars.
Thank you!! For the reminder of the Annular Solar Eclipse! I had forgotten about it... I'll be starting to plan my adventures to watch it since I'll be able to!
Fun fact: although the "official" name for studying the solid parts of Mars is still "planetary geology", some authors have also disliked the geocentric etymology and have proposed "areology", since Mars = Ares. So you can use that if you like 😀

belated happy birthday dr smecky, you're one of my favorite people along with matt o'dowd and dwayne johnson, thank you for inspiring way too many people so far and in the future with these amazing videos. i'll be thanking you again when i make it in life
Thanks Becky, I have finally been dragged (kicking and screaming) into using a smart phone. I never thought about a star map using the camera to overlay the constellations. The new place I'm living in is very rural, and I had the security light bulb removed for viewing the stars anyway. This is going to make my night viewing much better, as now it's warm enough to drag the hammock out and sleep under the stars. Can really learn more of the constellations.
You said Ontario and my heart dropped, then I read the on-screen text 💔 Ontario is a monstrously large province. You can drive for 24 hours straight in one direction and still be in Ontario.
We can add a follow mode to the ingenuity. basically, we can add a gravity sensor and wifi sensor to both the machines and use the gravity of mars to determine the altitude and displacement from perseverance and use the wifi sensor to determine where preference is and then code ingenuity to follow perseverance.
Ingenuity looking ahead for hazards that could affect Perseverance's mission is a fantastic reason to extend that cute little helicopter's mission. Thanx Dr and the science team for this video.
My tool to watch a Solar eclipse : A shoe box. A pin hole at one small end with a larger opening near it for the eye. On the opposing end, I have a piece of white paper where the image of the Sun get projected. First used in the mid 60's. So, Ingenuity will be scouting ahead of Perseverance. Nice for a chopper that was mostly only a proof of concept.
Where I'm at near the South Carolina and Georgia border we had a red moon the morning of May 25th right as it set (around 05 : 25 EDT.) That was more of a show than the next morning with the eclipse totality starting after my morning drive to work.
Just imagine coming from a planet with a star/black-hole binary.. what a fascinating set of observations you could make, and what a leap in understanding you'd have in comparison

Exactly, it's because of the apparent size of the sun. If the sun were a pointlike light source, Earth would have no penumbra.
