Now that we've fallen into all the planets in the Solar System, what would you like to see next??
Definitely a neutron star lmao
falling into enceladus
Falling into Io Jupiters moon
Falling into another universe lol
Or falling into Titan
Something about the surface of Mercury just feels so despondent. Unlike the other planets, it's just completely dead. Still. No windstorms, no aurora, just miles of barren grey rock, stretching both back into the past and forward into the future for what is essentially an eternity. Even on the Moon there's at least the Earth in the sky and occasional eclipses; but Mercury's only constant companion is the near-static Sun that super-heats its surface, the same entity that will eventually cause its end. It's just baffling that such a large celestial object; a so-called heavenly body, could be so... quiet.
Damn this is deep
Bro please stop making me feel sad for a planet
You could say the same thing about a grain of sand couldn't you? Just a completely still despondent. Yet we don't give any conscious effort to it because it is meaningless to us in scale.
You could say the same about mercury as you did, but you gave a crap about it because it's scale is tremendous yet magnanimous. It gives you perspective. Don't forget space and time are congruent, so the bigger something is the slower it is perceived by us. Also vice versa (smaller the faster).
Essentially Mercury is a wasteland, but so is that grain of sand on a much smaller scale. The larger scale elicits an emotional response because if its grandeur. The absolute beauty of the universe is understanding it does not have a definitive position in size or scale, inward or outwardly in spatial dimensions.
I'm not on shrooms. Just sayin, think about it.
@@fiveoclockdockperhaps an ant thinks of a grain of sand the same way humans think of Mercury
I don't know why, but Mercury came across as rather sad. Quite a moving video.
Mercury is so close to the Sun but still it seems sad. You're right indeed.
Poor thing is lonely too
It's got a lot of history of getting pelted by meteors, the fact that some of those craters happen billions of years ago is wild
Agreed
It's a dead planet that's why
Something I love about your videos is you play the most appropriate music that invites awe and contemplation and sometimes fear. With the soft subtitles, the experience is truly immersive.
Tried watching but died because we weren't wearing our indestructible suit.
How could you forget your suit? You trained for 5 years in the simulations like the rest of us, and had MONTHS to remember the suit before we got there.
Suit is on, you can see the mask.
How about swim suit?
Sorry about that
I was also thinking of it. 🤔
It's a bit odd how the Sun seems smaller than I expected from Mercury's surface. Oh sure it's definitely bigger, but from all the other photos and models of Mercury I would have expected it to take up half the sky or something. That's what always fascinates me about simulation videos like these; they really help give me a greater sense of scale and proportion when it comes to space objects.
Indeed. People often think it should take half the sky or more since it's the closest planet to the Sun, but it is still pretty far. The Sun appears ∼3x larger than it does from Earth, not much more than that!
Aye! If it were as big as taking up half the sky then I am sure our great big firey friend wouldve reeled in our lil planet and had her for lunch anyway! Not to mention it would probably also end up looking like a mini star due to burning up for being so close! XD
Most extrasolar systems we see, there are always planets way closer to their star than Mercury is to the sun. I wonder if there could have been another planet closer that was destroyed?
@@Stargaze_youtube That looks less than three times bigger.
@@Jamieboi1989 Not to mention it'd need to be going ridiculously fast (but not too fast) around the sun just to maintain orbit 💀
Just imagine looking at the sun from Earth and seeing just the tiniest black speck zoom past it every second
At this point, doom guy is just flexing with his infinite stamina and indestructible nature.
That is Master Chief's visor.
@@philosotree5876HOLY SHIT THANK UUU FINALLY SOME ONE SAID IT
Haha I laugh . . .
@@philosotree5876Looks like the visor from Call of Duty infinite warfare yes now please execute me on the spot
@@MagnumLoadedTractor that is objectively Master Chief's.
Although we're in a protective suit, I should have brought sunscreen.
we dont know for sure. for all we know we could be in a destructible suit
And a sunglass 😎
indestructible suit won't help us with COLDNESS and HOTNESS of a planet right ? Then we gonna die in seconds inside suits !
@@rsingh2001no these ones protect against that no problem.
@@ryanjohnson4565 like it's just a suit which will not break .. but can it maintain temperature inside too ?
Tragically beautiful
Or beautifully tragic 🤔
Well said.
WAKE UP BABE, IT'S NEW STARGAZE VIDEO
You should do falling series into major stars, both dwarf and supermassive red giants!
Yes we finally made it.😃😃😃

There are true double sunrises (& sunsets!) on Mercury, but only if you are at the right longitudes. Here the sun rises, sinks back, then rises again. Then, at sunset, it sets, comes back, then sets properly. At other longitudes, 90deg away from the previous, you get double noons, where the sun passes overhead, stops & backtracks, then resumes its passage westward. Likewise there are double midnights, but there’s nothing dramatic to see there.
This is all due to Mercury’s eccentric orbit & rotational locking, whereby it rotates three times for every two orbits of the sun. Its rotational speed is constant, but its orbital velocity changes greatly. When it is closest to the sun its orbital velocity makes a greater contribution the the sun’s apparent motion than its rotation does, and in the opposite direction. Owing to rotational locking, the longitudes where these phenomena are seen do not change.
Tbf, same on Earth depending on where you are. A couple happened in Iceland not too long ago
In other words, mercury does little donuts on its orbital trajectory
A great explanation but if we had seen it through moving graphic images or animation, we would have much clarity on the same. Thank you so much.
* sips my drink *
That seems to happens also if you're a few miles from one of the poles, the sun sets, then as it just finishes setting, temporarily ever-so-slightly rises again before sinking, and then sunrise you get a brief teaser, it sets again,then rises for real
I haven't been this excited for a new video, since falling into Uranus
🤨
Wait a minute...
🗣️
Loved the music choice for this one. It fit very well with the episode
3:51 As creepy as that looks it’s actually quite beautiful.
Thanks Stargaze for realizing my request, nice vid
I just searched "falling into mercury" at the right time
Is no one going to talk about how good his music choices are?
I feel sad when I see this, it remember me it could happen to earth. Life is so precious and fragile.
we have too much awareness for our fraigle bodies. it doesnt fit.
Amazing. I love your videos
Thank you
Discovered these videos just 2 days ago and so glad to see another one. Thank you so much!!
You'll be lost in space soon.
Without our indestructible suits the only thing we will be falling into is despair
😅😢
I was scared the whole time
Also dying of thirst.
wouldn't the sun be too hot and you'd die before even reaching the surface?
Finally an actual funny comment.
Mercury looks like a bigger version of our moon. Nice videos my friend.
I just commented your new video, but this one, with this so much beautiful music and all this interesting facts, is maybe the video i watch again and again the most of yours. Again thank you.
3:25 during the day the planet is burning hot. With temperatures up to 420 degrees.

When you've fallen into every planet in the solar system, multiple moons and a quasar, but you've never fallen in love
"Hello darkness my old friiiiieeeeeend..." 💀
😂😂😂 underrated comment 😂
Then you will fall into despair!
I LOVE these videos, im excited to see anything new you bring to the table!
Thank you! More is coming!
@@Stargaze_youtubepleeeease don’t forget the indestructible suit next time. It was pretty jarring not having it.
Love your videos, I've been listening to them on loop as I go to sleep and honestly so satisfying.
I love these videos. Thank you for making them.
Thank you for these beautiful simulations. It is all fascinating and mesmerizing to live and experience.
Guys wake up, stargaze uploaded a new video!
i love the music sounds very calming
Back-to-back Sunrise, give me a goosebumps bro!
Your videos are really cool. And they always give a relaxing but taciturn vibe. Keep them coming. How about falling into a shooting star? How would that be?
Is feeling bad for a planet a thing now or is it just me?
Oh my gosh 🤦♂️
Huh ?
Its just you.
Not just you
Felt same way fpr some reason maybe cuz of music or the writing being genuinely sad
Finally! The big ol rock planet.
Your videos are progressively becoming better and better, keep up the good work
Been waiting for this one finally!
Fascinating as always Stargaze! Your animations always immerses us so well! Loved it! Crazy how extreme the temperatures and brightness can get on planets without atmospheres! 😮
Thank you for making these videos :)
Both pictures and music are excellent. Thank you for your work!
Thank you! New stuff soon
I always wait for these videos with great impatience and I'm never disappointed. Always a masterpiece.
BABE WAKE UP STARGAZE POSTED
So Mercury is just a bigger moon. Except it is really hot and cold. Would be a great planet to live in if it wasn't so close to the sun.
Mercury is so similar with moon!!!
@@pedroaccioliIf I recall, our Moon 🌝 is slightly bigger than Mercury
mercury is hot and it's cold
It's yes and it's no
it's in and it's out
it's up and it's down
it's wrong and it's right
it's black and it's white
With Mercury getting up to 420º during the day, they're really blazing it down there
Appx an 1100° F differential between day and night. Even though the cycle is slow (6 months) surely this would act to erode the surface features?
@@billycarr7446 i was making a 420 joke..
@@anthonywrasslinAnd getting lower than -69 degrees, it gets pretty chilly and quite freaky
It was Johnny Hopkins and Sloan Kettering, and they were blazing that shit up every day.
My favorite planet
Beautiful music.
Love this vid! I'll always come back to do a new comment! The song that is sad and perfect for me and my mental stage now, and the astronomy subject that interests me so much! Thank you for this, Star ❤
Yes I made this one a bit sad, hopefully not too sad! Thank you!!
@Stargaze_youtube This makes me so sad haha, maybe i'm too sensitive but i still love watching this vid 💗💗
Thanks for video 🎉
Video idea/ideas:
Now instead of planets in our solar system, you should make falling into exoplanets. I think it would be cool to experience falling into a world outside of our solar system
I'm impressed by the guys picking you up again over and over again. Almost like a ranger during winter in yellowstone, picking up trapped tourists...
Mercury is like the Moon with no Atmosphere and Rocky Planet
The double sunrise is fascinating need to know how this happens
Yes, I also want to know and understand it.
Quoted from another comment:
''There are true double sunrises (& sunsets!) on Mercury, but only if you are at the right longitudes. Here the sun rises, sinks back, then rises again.

This one was my favorite
It was much more interesting than I expected 😮 Thank you for your thorough work 🤍
Great work! I really find your videos very interesting. Animation must have taken ages as it seems so professionally done!
I love your videos thankyou for posting ♥️
Space Engine sure delivers 👌🏽 downloaded it recently and was pleasantly surprised. I wish Universe Sandbox was this detailed…
Great as always!
If you are open to suggestions maybe a series of exploring planets land features. Would like be to see a video of the guy hiking up Olympic mons.
I am going to subscribe this channel. Have become fan of this
Been waiting for this!
terrific job!!!
Thank you!!
Your videos leave me in awe and give me peace :) thank you!!
I would love to see some videos about like planets such as Kepler 442b
Thanks for exploring me!
Thank you for this awe inspiring journey through our solar system
I agree with you.
there's one of the best asimov's tales set on mercury, "runaround", I was a child when I first read it (kids used to read very early back then). I still remember the details of the story, the setting, the scorching hot as soon as the human stepped out from the rock's shadow...
Love watching your videos
Man i love these videos!
Wouldn’t it be ‘onto’ since Mercury doesn’t have an atmosphere?
I like the fact that you can see the stars so clearly
Mercury is like our moon at first glance.
Yes, and both same similar things
This dude gonna be first to get a crack at that 10 mile thick diamond haha 💎
Great video! I wonder how do you pick your atmospheric piano musics everytime you make these amazing videos? where do you go to choose your music?
Poor Freddie. He chose to be the first as Mercury, but also it came with the great loneliness.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Why am I feeling so sad about a planet
It is normal from humans to feel sad about even a giant rock in space. I felt sad too for it. It a empathy that just our specie have
Between the space dust, debris, and solar winds, shouldn't there be at least SOME activity on Mercury?
Good job !!!! Thanks
That was really cool !
Maybe you can do "falling into a nebula" next ?
Where can I download your soundtrack? It's beautiful
Mercury gives depression vibes
Also, can’t believe you still haven’t done Haumea!! That weird little goober is so unique and is literally my favourite object in the whole universe. You gotta at least do a short one day!!
Yes, it gives a loneliness feeling, a sad feeling that it can't have life on it or even things that all the another planets have, being alone on this journey and just a flying rock on a giant dark space. It is so sad feeling.
I was a little confused why you'd leave the empty hellscape of mercury for the end, but that double sunrise explains it all.
On Mercury in the twilight zone there is an area where the temperature is a nice 25 C - and given the rotational speed, you could (in theory) walk and remain in that temperature zone. its an interesting place
Yes that narrow twilight zone is very interesting! You better have a good timing to follow it
WHAT A COINCIDENCE ! just like Mercury, I also am 420°C high while watching this video
I always feel bad thinking that I'll never be able to walk and experience what the surface and sky looks like on these planets but your videos help to atleast imagine what it'll feel like. Would love to them in 3D on a huge screen with immersive sound system ❤.
Same tbh... that's part of the reason I love making them
amazing
eres increíble tío, un lujo poder ver tus maravillosas obras de arte
Go to Alpha Centauri planets next
In the middle of day and night of the sun rises I would assume the temperature is more manageable not extreme right? Like 100C to 0C I believe, what is it actually?
Millions and billions year old asteroid scars, amazing!
Thanks for taking yo homie there.
It would be neat if these videos could be incorporated into one of those simulators that move like a spaceship.
Beautiful!
👍👍👍
so cool
Hi I liked the video
When you ultimately run out of planets to do then I have an idea
Can you do videos like "Falling into Mercury if it had an atmosphere like earth"
I've been watching you for a long time now and only just realised I'm not subscribed, what a crime
Never thought I could relate more to a planet.
Love that planet. I mine it alot in starfield game. Also have a sweet outpost set up.
Falling into me next?
AYO (can i Fall into You Next?)
So peaceful
