Ok, this is going to sound stupid Simon, but you need different glasses or something. I think you're getting a decent following on these videos, and I would attribute this to the outstanding work you do, your soothing voice, and the natural rhythmic cadence of your speech. You're missing the visual though! I have a winery. Educating people is a big part of what I do, most especially since I do it in Minnesota, where until recently, people thought a person would be crazy for growing grapes. I grow a curly mustache. Why? People apparently find it pleasing, it's disarming, makes it easy to approach people, and they very very definitely REMEMBER a guy with a monster sized curly mustache. You want people to remember you, no? Your natural talent does most of this. Compound it big time though! Get yourself some very distinct peculiar glasses, a strange jacket, or a peculiar hat perhaps. People remember the different and you're trying to separate yourself from all the other fish in the sea, here on youtube. It sounds weird, but it's human behavior. My mustache works so well, that I am recognized everywhere I go, almost to an annoying level. I'm like the god damn KFC colonel. The problem with a mustache though... is you carry it everywhere. Glasses though? You can have a set of peculiar glasses you wear just for your channel, and then wear your normal ones out for daily life. Try it out! Trust me! Wear some big nerdy ass ones for a few episodes or something. I guarantee if nothing else... people will notice it and engage, and that's ultimately what you're looking for. Engaged people. Anyways... for what it's worth. I like your various channels a lot! Thanks for doing all this!
A bunch of us went to an Observatory once, many moons ago. The small Observatory pointed it telescope at the full moon. I looked and it was as bright as the sun. You could see the crater walls very clearly. A high point in my life.
Have you considered looking for another telescope event to visit? I remember seeing Saturn for the first time and was amazed to see the rings so crisp and clear.
The Moon is an especially rewarding target for viewing with a telescope or even binoculars...as it progresses through its phases, different features become visible.
@@toericabaker Me too!!!! I remember thinking that it looked like a picture in a magazine, rather than an image of a real thing that I was really looking at through a real telescope. And being able to see a number of moons (albeit as shiny specs) was also mind-blowing!
@@MikeB3542 My first telescope had a max. magnification of x60. My current phone is a Samsung s22. The camera on the s22 has a max. magnification of x100, which is almost twice as good as my first telescope!!! If you don't have a telescope or binoculars, don't despair! Your phone might be better anyway!!
You "Space" Geopraphics videos are by far my favourites of all your content across all your channels. I look forward to you covering every planet in the solar system you haven't already and maybe even other cosmic wonders, like the Andromeda galaxy, the Alpha Centari system and Betelgeuse. Heck, I'd be down for yet another spin-off channel called "Astrographics" or "Cosmographics."
Funny that I'm watching this video 10 months after it was published but I have to second you on the space vids, by far the coolest. If you're looking for a channel on space stuff, look up SEA (real name, not an acronym). He does narrations of all sorts of galactic bodies, planets, and forces.
@@AceSpadeThePikachu The vids range from 20-60 minutes long, probably good for a lunch break or something similar. I watch a few of those channels too, just thought I might pass on a favorite of mine while at it
3:05 - Chapter 1 - Tiny dancer 7:50 - Chapter 2 - A dot in space 11:30 - Chapter 3 - Below the thunders of the upper deep 14:45 - Chapter 4 - Creatures of the night 18:15 - Chapter 5 - Beyond the infinite
Enceladus and Europa are my favourites, both are incredible candidates for extra terrestrial life. Kinda suspicious of Triton too, as it's known to have plumes too. We have at least 3 Moons as candidates for habitable ecosystems in this system, I wouldn't be at all surprised if we discovered not just microbial life, but complex, multicellular life. If it can exist on Earth what's really stopping it from being else where in the system? If there is complex life on any of these worlds I'd die happy if I somehow knew how many evolutionary parallels we'd see. Would we see like, Cambrian life, things like Trilobites and Anomalocaris? Or would we see later branches of the evolutionary tree? Things like Crabs and true fishes? How similar or different will their plant and animal life around hydrothermal vents be compared to ours? Sorry about the rant, but these thoughts have been rattling around in my head for a loong time.
@@nuru666 Migration. Pretty much all of the multicellular life around vents adapted to them rather than from them. Relatively stable geology might also mean a lack of mass extinctions preventing the need for multicellularity. Still. The scary amount of time in stable condition could see said microbes be massively complex in terms of Organelle structure instead. More advanced than say eukaryotes
As far as heritage goes, the difficult part comes with having to get church records from tiny 40 people villages dating back x hundred years. My step-dad does it for a hobby for us, and he's managed to get as early as 1100 AD for my grandma's side. Helps that her family was largely in Germany til WW1 broke out, and it turns out they made the trip over twice, the first time in the mid 1700s. And it also turned out twice that her family married into my grandpa's side twice as well, and I have the exact same name as a soldier that fought through the US Revolutionary War.
Yeah it's a lot more confusing to do it yourself if you live in America. I've been able to trace my family back and forth across the US (evidently we don't like to stay put) as far back as 1834. That's where it stops tho, beyond that all I know is my ancestor on that side came from "Czech Lands" which is apparently what the called the region that is now the Czech Republic before Czechoslovakia was founded and disbanded. My paternal Grandmothers side is a bit easier because my Great Grandma was a second generation Irish immigrant, and HER great-grandparents were from Norway, but idk anything beyond that. As far as my mom's side of the family....... My great grandma is a Canadian immigrant, and apparently has Czech and Irish roots. That's about all I got. My maternal grandfather was adopted and all his adopted parents ever told him was that he had French ancestry but he was never able to confirm that himself. All I know for sure, is that I have a LOT of Czech ancestors apparently.
My mother researched her family tree to 1800's Southern Germany. All too many church records were lost when Napoleon and his foraging troops came through...
Yo idk if it’s already been suggested, or if it’s already in the works but I think it’d be cool for you to do a space themed channel, Astrographics or something.
Simon, I get the feeling that most videos you make don't really make you happy. However, you seem absolutely satisfied and content in this one. Not sure if it's your personal life changing for the better or that you just love astronomy, but wish you the best either way. I happen to have written an undergrad paper on Enceladus in 2010 or 2011 and enjoyed it. Think I got a good grade on it as well ha. Planetary Science was my favorite course I'd taken.
My suggestion for Geographics is a story about the ground level in California drastically sinking due to pumping out ground water. It is dramatic and happening very quickly. There is a picture on the internet of a telephone pole with a sign at the top that says this is where the ground level used to be.
I did some checking and it looks like you're right! California is sinking and FAST!!! I mean, no nation on earth deserves this more than the USA, but really, California deserves this far, Far, FAR less than many other states in the union. It seems to be sinking at a rate of roughly 1 meter every 5 years. At that rate, anywhere from 10 to 50 years will see the state completely underwater!! And that's before we even factor in any rising sea levels!!!
Enceladus and Ceres... Two ice worlds with "Liquid Water" under the surface. Ceres is thought to be a briney muddy ocean, while Enceladus is thought to have a vast liquid ocean under the surface... I think they are definitely a "must visit" locations in the solar system
I have been there on a holiday with the family. Pretty nice waterpark I must say although the water is a bit on the cold side. Service from Hotel Trivago was also really good and made the whole process so easy for us. Would recommend 4.5/5.
Love the space videos...getting people exited about a future we may never see is a tough thing...but I like to hope it inspires our children to seek knowledge of a future that is theirs.
A few days ago, it was announced that dissolved phosphors have been found in the sub-surface oceans. This was the final ingredient Enceladus needed to be able to theoretically support life! Very exciting times. I expect a new wave will flood this video and cause the algorithm to perpetuate it again as people start to hear the news and become curious about the [fascinating] planetary body.
Awesome. Last month I went town a great spiral on the moons of Saturn and Jupiter than included about 20 Wikipedia pages, the Geographics videos on Ganymede, Titan, and Europa, Nasa webpages, and other miscellaneous sources. This will make a fine addition to the list. Thanks Simon your content it great!
Your videos about space and objects in our universe are some of my favorite videos you make and give hope of a wonderful new age of discovery and progress to better our species or perhaps to find new ones.
I love Geographics from the beginning and the space ones are by far my favourite!! Please keep making more space videos: exoplanets, our solar system planets and moons and the asteroid belt, photo of Sagittarius A*, biggest star by mass, size, etc., The shape of Space/Universe...I could go on, obviously lol. You could even make a new channel on the subject of Astronomy and Quantum physics!! I'd love it and be the first subscriber as long as I know when you're dropping it lol. As I love to say: Astronomy is summed up thusly: keep looking up!! Lololol
Damn il only be 54 but I also feel the same way. I am in no place to say but we all wish to see just a bit more than we will get to. I feel lucky to life in a time where we may see privet companies increase national interest into space travel in the next 10-20 years possibly enough to drive interest in further exploration on a more commercial scale because suddenly we all ar einterested again. I just want to live to see the first picture of an exoplanet of strong detail. A nasa team discussed making many hundreds of cube sats launched in packs with an ai that puts the cubes together into a fleet of satellites that travel to the gravitational lense of the sun almost 40x further than voyager and then take pictures by taking pictures of the ring and many angles and ai puts the pixels together. And then the ai send a message to the next launch which improves and withing 5-15 launches maybe 2-6 years apart the last good few would go from only getting a grainy single planet to each fleet taking pics of high res of several exiplanets and maybe even their moons. It's a projects where basicly if you can secure funding to send regulat fleets out able to communicate to old fleets and sharing info through a manager and administration ai that directs the fleets to ever better functions. Maybe even all focusing to take a good enough picture of an exoplanet to see obvious civilizations effects like large areas of Grey steel colored areas.
@@bjw4859 He started in 2020, so he's going to graduate in 2025. A minor takes 3 years and a major takes 5 years. And he said he is getting a major in astronomy in 2025... so what's the confusion?
Watching this reminds me of a mnemonic for the largest Saturnian moons that I've had in my head since I was 11--Mariam's Enchiladas Taste Divine. Tell Her I'm Really Pleased. (Mimas Enceladus Tethys Dione Titan Hyperion Iapetus Rhea Phoebe)
Thank God for this video. I've been calling for a much content as possible to be created about Enceladus. I pray NASA sends a mission there in my lifetime!
Your lifetime minus 3 years and 2 months because that is how long it takes to get there. And would it be acceptable to you if any of the OTHER space agencies go to Enceladus, of does it HAVE to be NASA? Just wondering.
@@kathleenr4047 NASA works with everyone who wants to work with them. JWST has instruments and systems from ESA, CSA and JAXA too. A mission of the magnitude proposed for Enceladus is bound to be a cross agency affair even from the first blue print drafts. But with budget requirements in the 3-5 billion range (and the eventual 100% overruns) only NASA gets the kind of funding needed. And they have the required experience of being "the project hub" that coordinates all participating space agencies. So it's of entirely pragmatic reasoning that space nerds, scientists and politicians alike go "If it's big it's going to be NASA".
After watching that video on Enceladus, I am excited and hopeful. NASA, in our lifetimes, may just answer the most profound question in the universe for us.
It is a little sad to me that when I was 10 years old in 2003, reading my children’s picture book about Europa, I thought by the time I reached 30 we would know 100% whether or not the alien ocean there had life. Turns out we aren’t any closer at all. We’re so ambitious as little ones
Thank you for explaining to people that aliens are probably not going to be walking around and talking. The aliens we are going to find in my opinion is going to Simply Be any life-form outside of our planet. Even a single celled organism would be very satisfying to me!!
haven't used your sponsor, and sadly for you i dont have to, my step-grandma (Step-dads mum)did all this work for us a few years ago and gave pretty much each member of the family a personalized family histories with both sides of each persons family, she managed to trace my fathers side of my family back to 1420, all the way back to my great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great-grandfather, also traced my Mothers family line back quite a bit (i think late 1600s) and managed to find out my mum is a descendant of Gilderoy Scamp. i think these services are wonderfully helpful if you want to learn your families history
@@brydon5721 He does keep busy doessn''t he? I watch everything he posts as well esxcept for Blaze, which I find too unorganaized and frankly distracting.
Imagine if we lived on a satellite around one of the gas giants? We'd always have a view of that dead, huge and scary planet from it. Of course we'd be used to it, but it's interesting to imagine it.
While Enceladus' geysers are definitely a point of interest, I have to wonder if it will eventually deplete? Like if a small portion of the material ejected from the vents return to the satellite as "snow" while the rest are ejected into space, doesn't that mean that eventually the water beneath the icy surface will run out in time?
Eventually maybe but it would take billions more years. The orbital resonance will keep it's core hot and the ocean replenished from crust ice melting anew. Also the theory is that the cryovolcanos are not active at all times, we're just lucky.
It is likely that both planets and moons with subsurface oceans may be a VERY common configuration in the universe: even when the the parent (pulsar, gas giant, etc) may be 100% uninhabitable by the current stretch of the imagination. I say subsurface ocean: but this DOES NOT mean a pure water ocean. Oceans like those underneath the surface of Enceladus, Ceres, Europa, Ganymede, etc are likely a mix of liquid water, various water ices, methane (liquid and ice), and very possibly hydrocarbons. Even IF 'just' water liquid and water ice: it is most likely to be more exotic forms of ice or other exotic phases (not purely solid/liquid/gas/plasma as we see it here on Earth). For example If Enceladus, Ceres, or some of the exoplanets have oceans even remotely as deep as current observations predict (20miles to [for some exoplanets] 200 miles+) even normal liquid water would stop behaving like we know it anywhere here on Earth. The sheer force of gravity at the extreme depths (along with temps) would create a semi-solid form. Space is truly the final frontier: and currently exogeology is proving to be one of those groundbreaking areas that literally push the imagination to its very limits: as astrophysicists and astronomers continually find new possible conditions that even the craziest sci-fi author wouldn't have thought of.
If we do not find life on Europa and Enceladus, would it be possible that we send microbes and single cellular life to them to essentially bring life to them via panspermia?
@@Lucas22780 No point. Just an experiment. Creating life on another celestial object that has enough requirements and see if it survives and adapts. And if it does then we have another object in our solar system with life.
@@kingofflames738 it would be interesting, but I guess we'd have to be 100% sure there isn't any life first. Not to mention that best case scenario we'd end up with a planet/moon infested by microorganisms
For improved security, you should lie to the bank when they ask for your mother's maiden name the first time, and repeat the lie every subsequent time they ask.
The Universe likely abounds in worlds like Enceladus and Europa. If you have gas giants that aren't hot Jupiters then you are likely to have icy ocean moons. And some of them are likely home to life.
I noticed the edit right after you said “lots of tiny alien farts”. How many times did you have to record that without cracking up?? I sure was cracking up when you said it…
Quite spherical for a 500KM object... I thought the mean was 1000KM. Does the parent body's gravity help a lump of stuff become a sphere? I guess it must. Edit: commented before the orbital resonance segment... my bad.
You forgot to talk about the crashed ship with the three alien queens buried under the ice, Simon! ...oh, wait That doesn't get discovered for another ninety-four years.
@@markdturnock It doesn't count in the numbering system however, just as Pluto no longer does. But I agree that Ceres is a fascinating *world* on its own.

As an astronomy major class of 2025 it’s a wonderful time to be a student, especially with me going into planetary astronomy
2025 ?.
@@bjw4859 yeah
@@bjw4859 He started in 2020, so he's going to graduate in 2025. A minor takes 3 years and a major takes 5 years. And he said he is getting a major in astronomy in 2025... so what's the confusion?
I'm so jealous and proud of you, Joe. Keep it up, I hope you make your name known bud :D
@@andersjjensen actually started 2021, don’t worry you’re good it’s 4 years for a major
Wish I was born 200 years into the future. Would have so many answers to the mysteries we are dealing with today. Would be fascinating
Watching this reminds me of a mnemonic for the largest Saturnian moons that I've had in my head since I was 11--Mariam's Enchiladas Taste Divine. Tell Her I'm Really Pleased. (Mimas Enceladus Tethys Dione Titan Hyperion Iapetus Rhea Phoebe)
Enceladus is my favorite celestial object of all. It's so unbelievably awesome and I really enjoyed watching this deep dive on it!
Imagine one day someone gets to make the first footprint on that pristine Enceladus snow.
This man’s voice has it’s pinky up the whole time 🤣❤
Love it! Enjoyed the video and am definitely subscribing
Skip ad at 1:45.
Thank God for this video. I've been calling for a much content as possible to be created about Enceladus. I pray NASA sends a mission there in my lifetime!
Your lifetime minus 3 years and 2 months because that is how long it takes to get there. And would it be acceptable to you if any of the OTHER space agencies go to Enceladus, of does it HAVE to be NASA? Just wondering.
We’re working on it!
@@kathleenr4047 NASA works with everyone who wants to work with them. JWST has instruments and systems from ESA, CSA and JAXA too. A mission of the magnitude proposed for Enceladus is bound to be a cross agency affair even from the first blue print drafts. But with budget requirements in the 3-5 billion range (and the eventual 100% overruns) only NASA gets the kind of funding needed. And they have the required experience of being "the project hub" that coordinates all participating space agencies. So it's of entirely pragmatic reasoning that space nerds, scientists and politicians alike go "If it's big it's going to be NASA".
@@kathleenr4047 Those other agencies haven't even put a man on the moon. It will likely be NASA.
If you don’t already know about them check out the YT channels. Astrum and SEA. Both are excellent space channels I discovered recently myself.
I'm always happy when you make "That Planet" jokes on these solar system vids.
03:23 - Alec Guinness : That's no moon... It's an imposter! 😁
My my, I adore Cosmic topics!
Awe inspiring and beautiful! 😍👍👏👏
It's.
Space is "dead and silent"? Someone ought to remind him that we LIVE in space ourselves.
My grandma already did the dna thing. I hail from that Viking clan that had their king thrown into a snake pit.
After watching that video on Enceladus, I am excited and hopeful. NASA, in our lifetimes, may just answer the most profound question in the universe for us.
"Where do socks go in the drier"? 🙃
What is so profound? Of course God made life on other planets, but He told them to stay away from Mankind because we are evil.
nice video simon
It is a little sad to me that when I was 10 years old in 2003, reading my children’s picture book about Europa, I thought by the time I reached 30 we would know 100% whether or not the alien ocean there had life. Turns out we aren’t any closer at all. We’re so ambitious as little ones
SIMON please do a spacegraphics channel! there is so much content for you to cover.
I believe it would be called Astrographics
It’s another golden age of exploration. I hope we don’t wipe ourselves out beforehand.
More of this i love this geography of other planet in our solar system
It's kinda like a giant snow ❄️ ball!😂🎉❤
"Aliens like E.T. or a Xenomorph." 2 very polar ends of the spectrum lol
The underside of those ice caps near the vents would be an ideal sample site. Heat, sunlight, fresher water from melted water.
Thank you for explaining to people that aliens are probably not going to be walking around and talking. The aliens we are going to find in my opinion is going to Simply Be any life-form outside of our planet. Even a single celled organism would be very satisfying to me!!
Hype for the retirementgraphics channel
I will always think of it as “Enchiladadus.”
I love this channel cause its curiousity stream free version and thats awesome for us who cant afford but wanna learn shit
Ocean Moon sounds like it could be a Star Wars vacation destination spot.
Simon pronouncing geyser as “geezer” gives me life
haven't used your sponsor, and sadly for you i dont have to, my step-grandma (Step-dads mum)did all this work for us a few years ago and gave pretty much each member of the family a personalized family histories with both sides of each persons family, she managed to trace my fathers side of my family back to 1420, all the way back to my great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great-grandfather, also traced my Mothers family line back quite a bit (i think late 1600s) and managed to find out my mum is a descendant of Gilderoy Scamp. i think these services are wonderfully helpful if you want to learn your families history
The beard is looking particulary epic today👍
Sweet jacket Simin, dapper af 😎
11:28 is that a clip from the Fripp & Eno album Evening Star? If it's something else can someone tell me what it is?
Hahahaha I'm genuinely still laughing from the fart sound when you said Uranus, yes I am a child in my head..I don't care 😂
@ 2:19 you can see the flashes of ionizing radiation streaming off of Jupiter. Kinda neat imo. LIttle flashes of light on the image here and there.
For a moment there at the end I half expected Simon to announce the launch of Astrographics XD
Maybe he should. 😁 i'd subscribe to that channel too!
@@jasontoddman7265 I pretty much subscribe to everything he presents!
@@brydon5721 He does keep busy doessn''t he? I watch everything he posts as well esxcept for Blaze, which I find too unorganaized and frankly distracting.
imagine living there and seeing saturn every day
I like the space geographics and mega-projects
My favorite of all the Moons and Planets! Enceladus! Thank you Simon.
Good video 👍
Well written, Simon.
Would love a mega projects video on cassini
Great job
Imagine if we lived on a satellite around one of the gas giants?
We'd always have a view of that dead, huge and scary planet from it. Of course we'd be used to it, but it's interesting to imagine it.
❤❤❤ If there organic molecules in water plums of tiny moon! Definitely something there even if microbial life
While Enceladus' geysers are definitely a point of interest, I have to wonder if it will eventually deplete? Like if a small portion of the material ejected from the vents return to the satellite as "snow" while the rest are ejected into space, doesn't that mean that eventually the water beneath the icy surface will run out in time?
Eventually maybe but it would take billions more years. The orbital resonance will keep it's core hot and the ocean replenished from crust ice melting anew.
Also the theory is that the cryovolcanos are not active at all times, we're just lucky.
I have to ask what music that is at 15:00
Looking forward to Retire-o-graphics. You know its happening
Simon thinks we want to swim with alien dolphins?
*whispers* nobody tell him about alien fuckers.
3 - 5 billion seems great value for what could be revealed.
compared to WEBB's 10 billion cost that is
More space content! Maybe a whole channel for it?
Should spin these space videos off into an Astrographics channel!
You should do a coop w/ Star Talk!!
Hi, where is Halleys Comet at right now? Is it making its way back toward us?
I remember Enceladus as basically "Saturn's Europa."
Titan likely has a liquid ocean below it's icy surface and hydrocarbon rivers and lakes.
Hi Simon!
I'll be 96 in 2050. Unlikely I'll see the Enceladus Orbilander probe's arrival; but my mom made it to 97. So, I'll keep hope alive.
3:10 Saturn is the 6th planet, not the 7th.
Still love ur videos! Thank you n have a good one!
It is likely that both planets and moons with subsurface oceans may be a VERY common configuration in the universe: even when the the parent (pulsar, gas giant, etc) may be 100% uninhabitable by the current stretch of the imagination.
I say subsurface ocean: but this DOES NOT mean a pure water ocean. Oceans like those underneath the surface of Enceladus, Ceres, Europa, Ganymede, etc are likely a mix of liquid water, various water ices, methane (liquid and ice), and very possibly hydrocarbons.
Even IF 'just' water liquid and water ice: it is most likely to be more exotic forms of ice or other exotic phases (not purely solid/liquid/gas/plasma as we see it here on Earth). For example If Enceladus, Ceres, or some of the exoplanets have oceans even remotely as deep as current observations predict (20miles to [for some exoplanets] 200 miles+) even normal liquid water would stop behaving like we know it anywhere here on Earth. The sheer force of gravity at the extreme depths (along with temps) would create a semi-solid form.
Space is truly the final frontier: and currently exogeology is proving to be one of those groundbreaking areas that literally push the imagination to its very limits: as astrophysicists and astronomers continually find new possible conditions that even the craziest sci-fi author wouldn't have thought of.
If we do not find life on Europa and Enceladus, would it be possible that we send microbes and single cellular life to them to essentially bring life to them via panspermia?
What's the point?
@@Lucas22780 No point. Just an experiment. Creating life on another celestial object that has enough requirements and see if it survives and adapts. And if it does then we have another object in our solar system with life.
@@kingofflames738 it would be interesting, but I guess we'd have to be 100% sure there isn't any life first. Not to mention that best case scenario we'd end up with a planet/moon infested by microorganisms
If we find life on Europa do we call them Europeans?
@@kathleenr4047 the aliens have been among us all along
nice linen jacket
Basically, it's wet and snowy, so it's just Canada in Space... :P
Finland in the spring.. 😄
A geezer of ice particles. Oh, Simon...
Some of the video editing made you look like Max Headroom. Maybe you should do a blaze vid in that style! 🤔
Would be funny to see who gets it.
For improved security, you should lie to the bank when they ask for your mother's maiden name the first time, and repeat the lie every subsequent time they ask.
Thanks. How volatile are the gasses of Jupiter? Could a passing meteor that gets drawn in light it up, ala the Sun?
it's amazing knowing the fact we have 3 moons in our solar system that 100% has water ice
2050? I'll rewatch your video by then for a refresher. 😁
The Universe likely abounds in worlds like Enceladus and Europa. If you have gas giants that aren't hot Jupiters then you are likely to have icy ocean moons. And some of them are likely home to life.
I noticed the edit right after you said “lots of tiny alien farts”. How many times did you have to record that without cracking up?? I sure was cracking up when you said it…
Quite spherical for a 500KM object... I thought the mean was 1000KM. Does the parent body's gravity help a lump of stuff become a sphere? I guess it must.
Edit: commented before the orbital resonance segment... my bad.
Cool jacket Fact Boy.
"This video is sponsored by my heritage."
You forgot to talk about the crashed ship with the three alien queens buried under the ice, Simon!
...oh, wait
That doesn't get discovered for another ninety-four years.
3:10 - Saturn is the *sixth* planet, Simon; not the seventh.
We just havnt found Vulcan yet 🤪
I choose to believe that was a shout out to my boy Ceres, the most underrated dwarf planet of all
@@andrewwebb2141 I think we would have by now if it were actually there. And yes I know which 'Vulcan' you mean and it's not the one from Star Trek. 😁
@@markdturnock It doesn't count in the numbering system however, just as Pluto no longer does. But I agree that Ceres is a fascinating *world* on its own.
