Every time I look into titan I get more captivated. I did a presentation on titanian fluvial activity, and each paper I read was so eye opening. Never got bored when everyone else was complaining about their work for their own topics.
@@oberonpanopticon I am not a young man. I hope to see the fruits of dragonfly, which for me is the most exciting space exploration project of all time, with Cassini a close second (which of course is completed).
dreksler I have watching you for 7 years and I don’t think I’ve ever commented. You are the reason I started studying space. I love every single video you upload and you have cured hours of boredom. You are the reason I started astrophotography, wish I could show you. Thanks dreksler
Because it is the only moon (place right now except earth) that has liquid cycles, rivers seas, deserts mountains, its just a bit different story when talking about lower gravity, more atmosheric pressure and methane, its different from earth but also similar enough. 🟠🔵
10:35 Yes but the rocky layer is not confined just to the deeper regions because Titan is only partially differentiated. So that means we also have a rocky component in the surface too?
Fascinating video, again so well produced. One other factor, as on Earth, is that these lakes can be exorheic, where liquid flows through the ground. I would have thought this to be more plausible than to have caves. All lakes on Earth are exorheic to varying extents, including any river that flows out of them. I know of no lake on Earth that drains through a cave, but then of course, there could well be..
Why this is not talked more frequently. This Moon has atmosphere, it's made from Nitrogen like Earth's. Still everyone is interested in Mars, which is radioactive vacuum hell.
Titan is an interesting place to look at. Frankly, I believe us humans should be dedicating more efforts to examine the place more thoroughly, especially since it bears a resemblance to Earth in many ways.
Titan is the satellite in the Solar System that catches my attention the most. With an atmosphere, a pleasant gravity, rich in hydrocarbons although with a very low temperature. With great desire that one day human beings will be able to establish bases there.❤🪐
Mmmm no, not really. Venus is far more likely to host colonies, because of the temperate zone in its clouds that we could float in, and only need an oxygen mask to breathe (not even a full pressurized suit). Otherwise our own moon is far better than any other body, simply because its so close
With Titan's extremely low gravity, I'm curious to see how massive Titanean caves can get. Since Titan's cave's are due to dissolutional and hydraulic action very much like Earth, I wonder if Titan's caves will have otherworldly equivalents of stalactites, stalagmites, flowstones, rimstone dams... It's amazing to think about, and I hope our descendants will get to explore these wonderful, icy caves.
Well, the caves on Luna can be a kilometer wide and deep, so given gravity on Titan is similar strength to gravity on Luna, Titanian caves should be of similar sizes.
Io would stop being volcanic, which would be good for its surface, as it would give its surface a chance to recover from volcanism. Pluto on the other hand would receive more radiation than it used to. Also, Tidal forces from Jupiter, Europa, Ganymede & Callisto would cause Pluto’s cryovolcanoes to erupt. When this happens, the cryovolcanic eruptions on Pluto would be so large that they would be visible from space.
Temperatures on Titan are three or four times colder than on Mars, Distance is something like ten times farther. There are absolutely no planned manned missions to Titan, whereas some organizations are planning to outright colonize Mars in the next few decades, so information on Mars is far more valuable. Mars is closer to the sun, so probes can power themselves indefinetely on solar energy, which would be nearly impossible on Titan. Has a thicker, more dynamic atmosphere than Mars, so flying there may present additional challenges due to wind, storms, etc. ... all this to say, never assume you know better than an organization comprised of thousands of experts in their field.

Let’s hope NASA doesn’t give up on dragonfly among all the budget cuts

Hey are you an astronomy student?
Nice to see more videos about Titan
You wouldn't be biased, would you?....lol...
Titan, i am such a fan! You're the best moon in the star system!
Man I just love your videos. Titan is so interesting.
Keep up with the uploads my man. They are always interesting.❤

it would be so cool to be an astronaut exploring this place
Love your content man!!
I am fucking obsessed with Titan

Wow, I used to watch you many years ago, your english has improved, and I think you've become even more knowledgeable about space for sure.
It’s a good day when Dreksler Uploads

This was some fascinating conjecture Drex, thanks! Looking forward to Dragonfly, I can't even imagine what it will discover.👍👍
That's where the Alien Cave Men lived.

Another beautiful and informative video! Thank You Sir.
Amazing video! The moonbase alpha main song at the beginning brings me good memories.

Unfortunately we would rather worry about what patch of dirt belongs to who, than advance the knowledge of the human race.
If I could visit one place in the solar system it would be Titan hands down
If liquid methane is capable of eroding rock like water is then it's virtually certain that there are caves on Titan.

I Love this Channel so much thanks for beeing more active again!
thanks for the video :)
We need to send more devices to explore this amazing moon
Wow. I actually just got a NASA newsletter that covered a topic on caves on the Moon.
What a coincidence!
Titan is likely going to be the best sister planet for us to move toward for our next planetary exploration.
Mmmm no, not really. Venus is far more likely to host colonies, because of the temperate zone in its clouds that we could float in, and only need an oxygen mask to breathe (not even a full pressurized suit). Otherwise our own moon is far better than any other body, simply because its so close
I was wondering if mars had methane at the beginning of the solar system like Titan cause of the deep channels in it surface.
Probably when the sun was smaller it had a temperature close to titan or earth's, it depends more to atmosphere of the object
Mars had oceans up to 1.5 billion years and venus from 600million to 3 billion years
There must be evidence of life in those caves there has to be right????
Any rich fluid chemically oscillating environments can spontaneously achieve life like behavior, producing even more complicated chemology.

@@Libertaro-i2u Yeah, but I'm also wondering if the water ice on Titan is as strong as Lunar basalt as to support such massive caves.
Greetings everyone 😎
No way
Can you do a video about the "magic islands" of titan and the possibility that it's caused by life?
Punga Mare means big bag, in Romanian ))
You should consider getting some new soundtracks, great videos but using the same music for every video can get repetitive
why does the thumbnail appear like it's a deleted/bock video?
What If Io and Pluto switched places
Io would stop being volcanic, which would be good for its surface, as it would give its surface a chance to recover from volcanism. Pluto on the other hand would receive more radiation than it used to. Also, Tidal forces from Jupiter, Europa, Ganymede & Callisto would cause Pluto’s cryovolcanoes to erupt. When this happens, the cryovolcanic eruptions on Pluto would be so large that they would be visible from space.
we still have to wait for the Dragonfly mission
There are in a superposition until we can get a cave detector there.
I was going to write a scifi scene about this
long time no see
Titan has an axial tilt of 27° in relation to the sun… meaning its ‘29.4y-years would have seasons?
Titan is the best place to put an outpost om. It's a perfect place to mine organic chemicals to make everything we need to build plastic structures,
Bro your voice sounds different
0:21 Io with lava lakes:
when i see titan i remember you 😂
The word "humocky" is so cursed to me. I don't know why, it just sounds bad
It seems likely.
Punga?‼️‼️ (IS THAT A MOTHERFUCKING POINT LOOKOUT REFERENCE?‼️‼️👀👀)
Going to take 60,000 starlinks and a way to transmit the data. 20 years to get a true answer and 300 billion
hope we colinis titan within my life
hello
First comment
Attack on titan sym bionic titan

Rubbish AI voice
Not AI, schizo. Go take your meds.
Are you an actual clown?
Titan would be great for some kind of western
The fact the helicopter isnt studying these lakes is absurd to me, what is NASA thinking???????
