@@DeliberateContrarian Honestly, I just made a guess, since for geography comes from Greek ge, and is also associated with Gaia, and areography for Mars comes from Ares, which was the Greek name for the red planet as well as the associated god, it only made sense that the word associate with Venus should be derived from Aphrodite. That being said, I saw another comment that used a completely different word, and I'm gonna have to look deeper into why that one was used.
I am fascinated by all the planets, their moons, AND Pluto also (planetoid or not). Throw Ceres in there too! Nothing is boring about the reality of the Universe and everything in it, including other dimensions and all our aliens who have visited, are visiting, and will visit!!! Reality is so cool!!!❤️
Man, I haven't watched a video of yours in way over a year and seeing how production quality has risen while your content is still recognizable as clearly the same channel makes me really happy. Well, I've gotta go, there's a lot of catching up for me to do :)

Really like that you put some takes of you talking into the camera in those last videos makes it more personal and gives one the feeling that you are teaching instead of presenting :)
Hey AtlasPro, finding this format both more interesting and easier to follow - there's less imagery moving and changing, and it allows the mind to concentrate on the spoken information. Cheers!
Maybe those aren't so wrong after all. If Earthlike tectonics are so rare, then randomly shaped and randomly placed islands and basins are more likely the norm than our well-defined continents and oceans.
Actually there is some pretty interesting stuff on Mercury www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-59885-5 Note here that in the actual (open access) paper above unlike the popular clickbait "misinterpretation" that when they say Volatiles they are talking about volatile metals such as Sodium Potassium Lead etc. that is to say sublimating rock not Earthly volatiles. There is a big difference.
Or the dwarf planets: Eris, Pluto, a good number within the Asteroid Belt, other Kuiper Objects. They’re WAY more interesting than not-even-an-atmosphere Mercury. -Pluto beats you out there, Mercury!!-
@@anonymousfellow8879 Eris would be amazing alas we have no knowledge about its topography as its so far away and hasn't been visited by space craft. And technically mercury has a tentative exosphere composed of solar wind particles and sublimating rock
All your videos are informative and so well done. I’ve learned more about the surface of Earth, Venus and Mars than any documentation. Awesome channel, you have a new supporter on Patreon!
When I saw the images of Venus surface I also thought it looks like Venus crust has broken open with giant lava flow coming out of it. But Earth did also experience such a event on a smaller but still catastrophic scale when the Perm extinction did happen. The atmosphere and also oceans did get poisened. It was when the supercontinent Pangea did split apart.
Oh yeah thats true. So its not only Venus that exploded in magma. I wonder if Mars even had that kind of event on its surface? my guess is no. I think the planet was just too small to accumulate enough energy to "blow its top. Plus she had volcanos that grew insanely big, so i assume most of that energy was released then
Thanks for your great work! Your topics are super interesting and you find so many interesting details, I'm always surprised how many interesting and well explained features you bring up!
This now makes me wonder what would've happened if Venus and Mars ended up in each other's place early on the Solar System's formation. Mars becoming a little ball of molten heat and Venus a cold-analog of Earth which could have developed some form of life on its surface...
We’d basically have a solar system with a colder Earth, but with Venus’ Gravity and it being cold enough for plate tectonics to develop, I could see both planets developing life independently and eventually becoming aware of each other’s existence as cities develop and they see the lights, which could lead to technology developing slightly faster and interest in space exploration actually staying around after the moon landings. Basically that’s a much cooler timeline, since we get a solar system with two Earths
Carl Sagan made the first proposed method of terraforming Venus was made in 1961. In a paper titled “The Planet Venus“, he argued for the use of genetically engineered bacteria to transform the carbon in the atmosphere into organic molecules. However, these bacteria would have to be engineered to survive immense heat, pressure and acid rain. Not impossible to do, but definitely pushing biology to its absolute limits
Makes me imagine if the Earth had a bunch of islands and archipelagos instead of continents. Would also be cool if Venus had developed into a second earth with all of these “continents” on it were actual continents on it.
During the very early Paleozoic, that was the case. Earth was still too hot to have significant tectonics, so the planet was an ocean world with thousands of volcanic or rift islands.
Hey dude glad to see you posting more often again. Take breaks whenever you need to, this community will be here always. If you’re reading this, sub if you haven’t! Very few are more deserving!
I like how you referenced "Nature" as a source. It would be really cool if Atlas Pro did a side by side by side video of the 4 billion year history of the Venus, Mars, and Earth. It could show Mars and Venus having and then losing water, and how Earth's surface was once molten, snowball-earth, and at other times even had purple life covering the surface. I suggest using globe images, maybe even showing how mars and earth rotate and Venus is almost tidally locked.
Hey, sir this is the first time I have seen you making face cam video,it's more interesting & it feels me that I'm more connected with your chosen topic than just looking animations & listening to voice. keep it up👍
It's quite cool seeing your face in the videos these days. My favourite of your videos by far is the one where you showed the greening of the Sahara. My second favourite is your expansion of fauna territories by utilising land bridges. Any more along those lines will be greatly appreciated. In the mean time I might go rewatch them now.
So... you're telling me that only in reality does Vulcan (Hephaestus) tear Venus(Aphrodite) up? XD also, keeping in the technical fault where the laptop goes to sleep was pretty funny XD
I remember an article from a few years back talking about how we could in theory live in Venus' upper atmosphere like some real life analog to Star Wars' Bespin
Fun fact, the cause that Venus is so hostile while Earth is hospitable has pretty much the same reason: planetary impact But whereas Theia struck the earth along its rotation which allowed Earth to create a magnetic field, what hit Venus struck against its rotation preventing it from forming a magnetic field Funny is that what currently makes life possible on Earth will once make Earth even more hostile than Venus
I love your channel so much ! The subjects you talk about are so diverse, you do a titanic job (titanic, Venus, space... 😬) !!! And I like the way you explain things, I am still learning English and it is sometimes difficult to get everything in videos. Thanks for the job you do !
Hey man I know this late af but who cares you do a really good job on your videos and I’ve been really enjoying them recently. just found you. Keep up the hard work, thank you for all the hard work you do! Appreciate you!
We could have lived in a solar system where two neighboring planets evolved life independently, we could have lived in a solar system where we could set up independent colonies on other planets as easily as anywhere on our world. The random chance factor could have turned Venus into a second Earth just as easily as turning Earth into a second Venus. The history of Venus and Earth is a tragedy.
Idk seems like it’s so hard to get one habitable planet so the chances of two are astronomically low. I feel like the fact that Mars is kinda habitable was already super lucky
Hope you'll do Pluto (and charon) next ! Tbh it's the only rocky (dwarf) planet left to talk about. And with the recent great pictures of its surface we got, we have a good view of its surface & features.

"Geography" translates to earth description, so any other planet suffers from a severe lack of geography by virtue of not being Earth :D
To be fair though, can you imagine saying Aphroditeography?
@@ccvcharger no
@@ccvcharger Is that what it would be? I was going to ask what the proper term would be.
@@DeliberateContrarian Honestly, I just made a guess, since for geography comes from Greek ge, and is also associated with Gaia, and areography for Mars comes from Ares, which was the Greek name for the red planet as well as the associated god, it only made sense that the word associate with Venus should be derived from Aphrodite. That being said, I saw another comment that used a completely different word, and I'm gonna have to look deeper into why that one was used.
Technically correct.
Here is a suggestion: Why is there large basins next to the Tibetan Plateau?
"Why aren't people interested in Venus"
Because they're boring. Someone fund HAVOC already.
because were more interested in uranus
@@fakename2336 nice 1
I am fascinated by all the planets, their moons, AND Pluto also (planetoid or not). Throw Ceres in there too! Nothing is boring about the reality of the Universe and everything in it, including other dimensions and all our aliens who have visited, are visiting, and will visit!!! Reality is so cool!!!❤️
What's HAVOC?
Edit: Found it. High Altitude Venus Operational Concept.
I think I saw an Issac Arthur video on it. It looks super cool!
@@jasonstephen7564 Ah, I see that you too are a person of culture.
“How the lack of geography doomed the sun” is gonna be next guys
The absent of the father doomed the sun.
Man, I haven't watched a video of yours in way over a year and seeing how production quality has risen while your content is still recognizable as clearly the same channel makes me really happy. Well, I've gotta go, there's a lot of catching up for me to do :)
Meanwhile in local Venus news: How we are long overdue for the next Artemis Chasma super eruption. And politicians have no plan whatsoever.
Cat: ignores you all day
You: presses record
Cat: OH HEEEYYYY!!!!
Atlas Pro uploaded twice in one week, Let's Go!!!
Thank you Mr. Pro for continuing to give us this amazing knowledge and putting so much effort into your video's, keep up the good work :)
He also uploaded at midnight this time so you win some and you lose some :D.
That Venus map looks like the fire nation is about to attack.
I seriously love these videos about geography of other planets. It's incredibly interesting stuff.
Me too - extraordinary much!!!👍👍👍❤❤❤
It is very interesting.
You need to do a geography of cats now.
Meography
It would been called "Felinegraphy".
as he said "basin" then immediately after "guinevere" I had some dark souls ptsd not gonna lie
Gank ahead
Don't give up, skeleton!
wow ur already at 800k i knew u would grow, i remeber maybe even before 100k when i found ur channel i was like, this channel has potential
Really like that you put some takes of you talking into the camera in those last videos makes it more personal and gives one the feeling that you are teaching instead of presenting :)
Hey AtlasPro, finding this format both more interesting and easier to follow - there's less imagery moving and changing, and it allows the mind to concentrate on the spoken information. Cheers!
I love these extraterrestrial geography videos. Could you do videos on the Moon and Pluto?
The "Terraformed Venus" Map looks like something from a cheap (Science) Fantasy Novel.
Maybe those aren't so wrong after all. If Earthlike tectonics are so rare, then randomly shaped and randomly placed islands and basins are more likely the norm than our well-defined continents and oceans.
@@StuffandThings_ Good Point.
Are you gonna do the geography of every planet now? I'd be into it
Especially mercury, have fun with venus but even more boring
Actually there is some pretty interesting stuff on Mercury
www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-59885-5
Note here that in the actual (open access) paper above unlike the popular clickbait "misinterpretation" that when they say Volatiles they are talking about volatile metals such as Sodium Potassium Lead etc. that is to say sublimating rock not Earthly volatiles. There is a big difference.
Mercury would be more interesting than the gas giants though.
@@Leyrann the gas giants' moons though, thats a different story
Or the dwarf planets: Eris, Pluto, a good number within the Asteroid Belt, other Kuiper Objects. They’re WAY more interesting than not-even-an-atmosphere Mercury. -Pluto beats you out there, Mercury!!-
@@anonymousfellow8879 Eris would be amazing alas we have no knowledge about its topography as its so far away and hasn't been visited by space craft.
And technically mercury has a tentative exosphere composed of solar wind particles and sublimating rock
All your videos are informative and so well done. I’ve learned more about the surface of Earth, Venus and Mars than any documentation.
Awesome channel, you have a new supporter on Patreon!
Man "METAL SNOW!" Would make for a great clickbait thumbnail caption lol
Next time: how (the lack of) space on Atlas Pro’s shoulders doomed Atlas Pro’s cat to fall down
Atlas Cat confirmed new star
When I saw the images of Venus surface I also thought it looks like Venus crust has broken open with giant lava flow coming out of it. But Earth did also experience such a event on a smaller but still catastrophic scale when the Perm extinction did happen. The atmosphere and also oceans did get poisened. It was when the supercontinent Pangea did split apart.
Oh yeah thats true. So its not only Venus that exploded in magma. I wonder if Mars even had that kind of event on its surface? my guess is no. I think the planet was just too small to accumulate enough energy to "blow its top. Plus she had volcanos that grew insanely big, so i assume most of that energy was released then
I really do like seeing you in your newer videos. You make for a great host, not just a great narrator for your videos.
Thanks for your great work! Your topics are super interesting and you find so many interesting details, I'm always surprised how many interesting and well explained features you bring up!
Wow, great video!
Geography of Titan next please
Ohhh yeah. It could accompany his life on titan video well th-cam.com/video/rb_b1TRCybA/w-d-xo.html
I didn't know Venus is a planet with a single, unbroken surface! That's so different.
This now makes me wonder what would've happened if Venus and Mars ended up in each other's place early on the Solar System's formation. Mars becoming a little ball of molten heat and Venus a cold-analog of Earth which could have developed some form of life on its surface...
We’d basically have a solar system with a colder Earth, but with Venus’ Gravity and it being cold enough for plate tectonics to develop, I could see both planets developing life independently and eventually becoming aware of each other’s existence as cities develop and they see the lights, which could lead to technology developing slightly faster and interest in space exploration actually staying around after the moon landings. Basically that’s a much cooler timeline, since we get a solar system with two Earths
Carl Sagan made the first proposed method of terraforming Venus was made in 1961.
In a paper titled “The Planet Venus“, he argued for the use of genetically engineered bacteria to transform the carbon in the atmosphere into organic molecules.
However, these bacteria would have to be engineered to survive immense heat, pressure and acid rain. Not impossible to do, but definitely pushing biology to its absolute limits
Thanks for all you do and I mean that. Channels like this give me something I don't get anywhere else, love yah
0:18 That made me laugh hard, so cute 🤣
Makes me imagine if the Earth had a bunch of islands and archipelagos instead of continents. Would also be cool if Venus had developed into a second earth with all of these “continents” on it were actual continents on it.
During the very early Paleozoic, that was the case. Earth was still too hot to have significant tectonics, so the planet was an ocean world with thousands of volcanic or rift islands.
@@magmacube8689 Nice
That would be epic. Just imagine how different history would be if instead of empires there where thousands of island nations fighting eachother
@@Kentucky_Caveman No advanced civilisation ever, then
@@magmacube8689 exactly, that's why it would be cool. A wise man spoke wise words once "Reject society, embrace le monke"
Hey dude glad to see you posting more often again. Take breaks whenever you need to, this community will be here always. If you’re reading this, sub if you haven’t! Very few are more deserving!
I like how you referenced "Nature" as a source. It would be really cool if Atlas Pro did a side by side by side video of the 4 billion year history of the Venus, Mars, and Earth. It could show Mars and Venus having and then losing water, and how Earth's surface was once molten, snowball-earth, and at other times even had purple life covering the surface. I suggest using globe images, maybe even showing how mars and earth rotate and Venus is almost tidally locked.
One of the only channels I check every video on. Love your channel
After watching a narrator for 3 years I don’t know if I’ll get ever used to his face
Yeah I kinda liked the faceless narrator. Not sure why that changed.
As a guy who just really likes the look of maps, thank you for those Venus continents. Now all I need is Mercury's geography
This totally makes my Sunday night
Hey, sir this is the first time I have seen you
making face cam video,it's more interesting & it feels me that I'm more connected with your chosen topic than just looking animations & listening to voice. keep it up👍
Venus isn’t Earth’s twin. Venus is Earth’s insane cousin who regularly gets in bar fights and snorts coke at family reunions
Billions of years ago: Plate tectonics exists.
Present-day: Atlas Pro happens.
Why is Venus so hot? Because its atmosphere is hella THICC
Mmmmmmmm
It's quite cool seeing your face in the videos these days. My favourite of your videos by far is the one where you showed the greening of the Sahara. My second favourite is your expansion of fauna territories by utilising land bridges. Any more along those lines will be greatly appreciated. In the mean time I might go rewatch them now.
Very interesting stuff. Liked the amount of information and good explanation. Just subscribed!
I love how the continents are named. Very consistent.
So... you're telling me that only in reality does Vulcan (Hephaestus) tear Venus(Aphrodite) up? XD
also, keeping in the technical fault where the laptop goes to sleep was pretty funny XD
it’s midnight where i am, but i can’t sleep until after this
It's morning here
It's 21:30 on the west coast of the States
6:02 am in London
3 AM in Brazil
I remember an article from a few years back talking about how we could in theory live in Venus' upper atmosphere like some real life analog to Star Wars' Bespin
Not a new idea. I know lots of people who live in the clouds (then inevitably crash down to reality)
Wow, this channel had 2k subs when first subbed. I knew you were going to get huge. Amazing work, keep it up!!
I would LOVE to see more planet based videos. the mars videos and this video have been some of my very favorites you've released!
So it begs the question:
How many nukes do we need to tear a permanent rift in Venus?
"Yes."
Nukes might not be enough. Antimatter bombs it is
Aphrotitography, the study of the bread planet
What we want:
More videos on planets and exoplanets
More of your cute cat distractions
Do keep your face appearing in the vids, it's far more engaging
Fun fact, the cause that Venus is so hostile while Earth is hospitable has pretty much the same reason: planetary impact
But whereas Theia struck the earth along its rotation which allowed Earth to create a magnetic field, what hit Venus struck against its rotation preventing it from forming a magnetic field
Funny is that what currently makes life possible on Earth will once make Earth even more hostile than Venus
It was nice to see your face to put with the voice! Oh, and the cat is awesome!
Atlas' cat: *I shall take over your chann-* ok ok but I will have my revenge!
what time does the cat come
I love the cat at the beginning😂😂
Atlas Pro: The Most Casual Education Channel.
I love your channel so much ! The subjects you talk about are so diverse, you do a titanic job (titanic, Venus, space... 😬) !!!
And I like the way you explain things, I am still learning English and it is sometimes difficult to get everything in videos.
Thanks for the job you do !
Hey man I know this late af but who cares you do a really good job on your videos and I’ve been really enjoying them recently. just found you. Keep up the hard work, thank you for all the hard work you do! Appreciate you!
We could have lived in a solar system where two neighboring planets evolved life independently, we could have lived in a solar system where we could set up independent colonies on other planets as easily as anywhere on our world. The random chance factor could have turned Venus into a second Earth just as easily as turning Earth into a second Venus. The history of Venus and Earth is a tragedy.
Idk seems like it’s so hard to get one habitable planet so the chances of two are astronomically low. I feel like the fact that Mars is kinda habitable was already super lucky
So inclusion, Venus is a giant cooked dough in space
Earth is a bread that is soaked in water and becomes moldy
@@Marine_Dynamite lol
- Why is everyone afraid of moving to Venus?
- Because it has a Lada Terra 😉
Hope you'll do Pluto (and charon) next ! Tbh it's the only rocky (dwarf) planet left to talk about. And with the recent great pictures of its surface we got, we have a good view of its surface & features.
Love the new space series you're doing!
