Hi everyone, Alex here, welcome to the remaster of the video that made this channel possible! It was my first ever video to take off. I've come a long way since then, and wanted to revisit this amazing planet with updated visuals and audio. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who joined Patreon. Your membership is what allows me to keep Astrum what it is, and not what the algorithm looks for. bit.ly/4anEb5u
3days how?
Cool video thanks ♥ it
but why does mars have so much xenon-129? always wondered about that :o
Hi Alex, Alex here love your work thank you you have put me to sleep many nights and kept me up many more
Love it and love your voice. So helpful with anxiety. Thank you.
I watched that again a couple of nights ago. Must have watched it dozens of times now.
Did you have to re-upload this because the preview bots thought Olympus Mons was a nipple?
Only reason I clicked on it.
@@dew12u same xD it looks like a nipple
I came for the boobies. I thought it was an ornithology video 😉
Hahahah likely
I have a theory on how the Milkyway came into existence now.
Many years ago a friend of mine got himself a telescope.
When he first trained it on Mars, the planet was experiencing a global sand storm.
He described it as an orange fuzz ball.
We both got better views later, and could make out features like the polar ice cap. I'm totally glad I got that opportunity.
Whenever I think of how Earth looks to other planets, I think of Carl Sagan’s “pale blue dot” quote, and everything in my life feels so small and meaningless. Instead of feeling depressed or horrified, it calms me, and helps me distress a little just knowing how insignificant we are in the grand scheme of the universe.
i think you meant "destress" lol the only reason i bring it up is because "distress" means literally the opposite of what you're trying to convey 😂
The grand scale of the universe makes me reflect back on what we call life in utter amazement, it really is a miracle. It makes me want to work for a better future to uphold this mantle of life. And maybe one day we'll be lucky enough to see it touch the stars.
Fact. Lol
The only thing I regret while watching your videos is not having a 70" 8K TV, and a surround audio system. Man, what an experience your videos would be.... Great work, as always, Astrum!
I took your advise and got off the iPad, turned on the TV (55" qhd+, 4k, cuz that's all I have) and got my Sony XM1000 headphones on (late at night for surround speakers).
Made a HUGE difference to the experience..❤
Thanks.
Thank you Astrum team!! The way you communicate astronomy is second to none! And I'm sure many enjoy the podcast but wish it were longer lol. I personally use it while I drift off to sleep. And the soft music you play at the end of the cast is perfect 👍
We are working on adjusting the podcast to make them longer!
@@astrumspacehow dense do you have to be to not even mention the pyramids on mars or the face on mars?
im 52 and i dont think i have 20 years left in me, i do hope in my lifetime i see human on mars seeing how space exploration has moved along in my life, seeing mankind land on mars would be the pinnacle
I'm in the same boat, im 57 , where has the time gone. If anyone can do it it's ELON MUSK
Damn, not making it to 72? That's kind of grim. Or at least it seems that way to me, as my dad actually _is_ 72, is more physically in shape than I am despite being a little over twice my age, and it doesn't seem like his health is going to fail any time soon. Hell, his _mom_ is still alive and will be turning *103* in November. So I hope you were just being pessimistic and that outlook is not due to an actual medical condition.
@@heinrichagrippa5681 ye im just realist, im not in best of condition and in my family men dont make it past 65 - and when you think thats 4 brothers, 2 grandparents and parent only 1 brother left and he is 62
Try to take the best care of yourself that you can. Environment does impact what genes get expressed. And that goes both ways!
@badram0204 musk is an idiot
11:48 That particular Dust Devil was about the same height as an average tornado here on Earth which they can get over a mile tall or 1.609344 Kilometers.
And I'd rather get hit by the Martian tornado, as the low air pressure would make it no stronger than a slight breeze.
But I'm guessing we all knew that already..
Yeah. & I think due to the low air pressure I think the dust devils want really to pick up stuff beside small dust particles.
Love the remasters for this series. We know so much more than we did back then and it gives you a chance to make a video of higher quality. I’m pretty new to this channel but it’s become one of my favorites and I’ve gone back and watched your older videos, especially about stars. I find stars and light to be very fascinating. It’s amazing too the images we can get now from Hubble, modern ground telescopes, rovers, and probes. We can see the wonders from space from our own little neighborhood here around the sun all the back to the distant past of the universe. There’s so much beauty on this planet that it’s a marvel to see the beautiful features of places we most likely won’t get the opportunity to go to. Keep up the good work
He wrote this while he was serving time for public dawg beetings.
That thumbnail 😂
Olympias Nips perhaps?!?
Clickbait done well... For science.
I came for the booby thumbnail, I left with knowledge about Mars.
Mars Tiddy
What
Mars' huge mountain looks like a nipple 👀 and it's 100% why I'm here
Notty boy 😂
Dude's down so bad
Everything reminds me of her...
Everything I see reminds me of her
Oh, I new this one was coming. Could be a large blackhead, but I'll go with nipple.
Yes!! I've been waiting for this for years!
Great remaster! My favourite part of the video is still: "Let me show you an example." *loads up beam ng*
Mars will always be near and dear to me. The landing of the Pathfinder/Sojourner mission was a big part of my first date with my now-husband, and sometimes I go back and look at the little collage I made - this was the 90s, it must have taken me hours to find and print out two dozen different images of the rover and of Mars. Good times! I'll always be fascinated by this planet and your videos in particular have been a joy for me. Whatever you choose to remaster next, I'm here for it!
1:48 I'm a bit confused here; 1 year, 320 days, and 80.2 hours? Why not just say 1 year, 323 days, 8.2 hours?
I was thinking the same damned thing. I guess he didn't have enough coffee yet when adding in the commentary, LOL 😂😂😂
Cool your can see the moon orbiting the Earth from Mars!
If you don't have 4K turned on DO IT NOW! There are some absolutely STUNNING images you have to see in high-res.
Too late. My eyes do not registrate life in 4k anymore.
Like when he's beeting his dawg during the last 5 mintues? He really lays into that dawg, closed fist punches right to that dawg mouth. He kept screaming at him, calling him "shifty" and "smarmy" and "judgmental". I don't think that dawg is gonna make it through this one, in 4K you can really see it in his dawg eyes. He's prayin' his little dawgy prayers for tha sweet release of death.
Uhhh... that makes my laptop stop loading the video at all.
Literally, IT WILL NOT LOAD ONE PIXEL.
I cant when ever I try all I get is a spinning circle
That's if you actually have a monitor that can do 4k. If you choose 4k on a 1080p monitor it'll be a super tiny bit better but nowhere near actual 4k quality.
I did not know that Mars had a tilt... and therefore seasons. Thank you for sharing this.
It does have a tit apparently.
It does, but also, unlike Earth, the eccentricity of its orbit also has a big effect. These add together to make the southern hemisphere have much more extreme seasons.
Even dawgs and cats and squirrels know this brugh
@@jennyanydots2389 😆
@@jennyanydots2389 LOL I had to laugh at that one!
Thanks for the update, new imagery is brilliant.
Thank you so much Alex! Your presentations are always wonderful and your enthusiasm is infectious. I need to mention a fact that is never covered in the presentations of Mars in anyone's video but is truly astonishing. There is so much water on Mars that if the surface water was melted including the hidden glaciers it would comprise an ocean of about hundred and 15 feet deep over the entire planet. Could you please and a feature video give this theme sometime?
From Wikipedia:A bundant water ice is also present beneath the permanent carbon dioxide ice cap at the Martian south pole. More than 5 million km3 of ice have been detected at or near the surface of Mars, enough to cover the whole planet to a depth of 35 meters (115 ft).[13] Even more ice might be locked away in the deep subsurface.
My favorite fact about Mars is the crater that's so deep the atmospheric pressure gets high enough during certain times of year for liquid water to be stable at the bottom. Hellas Planitia I think is what it's called.
Amazing video like always, Astrum! i'd LOVE to see a revisited video of Neptune, my favourite planet! keep up the great work!
I love your channel, I love the videos, the information and your voice the words of presentation. It is so fascinating.
Every video ist a work of art in science.
My favorite "fact" about Mars is old science fiction stories, written before we knew what we now know. Those stories are so fun and fantastic to read.
Thw Princess of Mars series is such a good read, despite how outlandish so much of it seems now.
My favourite Mars fact: we're yet to visit in person. We live in very exciting days
I love the spiral pattern, it is the pattern that is constantly repeated in the Milky Way
I love that picture of Earth and the Moon. Like you said everyone, ever is in it. Also, everywhere we have walked.
Well that thumbnail was chosen for a reason. :)
Nice to see a glacial form get a spotlight, even if only an image. It was videos like yours that got me to seriously consider planetary sciences as a direction I may want to go in, and now I study Mars full time! Great to see this re-make showing off the best planet in our solar system.
That's really cool! What do you study?
@@apuji7555 I study the glaciology and glacial features on the Martian surface with regards to surface processes and climate interactions, and what looks to be an example of one appears in the video ~ 00:44
Breath taking sights. Something internally still yerns to go there and experience it. However, this is as close as we can get and I feel fortunate to have lived in a time where we can get this level of access to another world.
real ones remember the original upload
That doesn't make you a real one. Stop trying to distinguish yourself thinking you are sth special, when you ain't.
Real ones also don't get so easily offended.
@@abstraqtphilosophy7357 lmao it's not that serious
touch some grass buddy, your chronically online behaviour is showing
@@abstraqtphilosophy7357damn, that really hurt your feelings, huh? It's not that deep, go outside, find a hobby. Getting mad at TH-cam comments really shows unhealthy behavior.
im glad i dont and couldnt care less goodbye lmao
They didn’t teach me anything about anything to do with space in school, everything i know is self taught from places like this channel :)
My favorite fact, which I just learned, thanks Alex, is the reason Mars has that color. It also got my imagination zooming thinking about the megastructures that had to have been there to create that much rust. The Fe was mined from that used to be Grand Canyon size, crevasse Valles Marineris. That's where all the oxygen hiding. When we go back and start building again, more iron we use, easier it'll be to breathe. Now that's one helluvan incentive right there. Lol
This fact is even better. Some rocks/sand have iron in it's chemical composition. And when you expose those rocks to oxygen the iron "rusts" and the rocks/sand turn red...just like here on earth (iron is the most abundant metal in the crust).
If you've ever seen a place with reddish sand and/or rocks...those rusted and turned red, just like on Mars.
No megastructures needed...you just need Iron to be the most abundant metal in the crust...and on Mars, it's very abundant.
Mars looks stunningly like taking the scenic route on a drive through Arizona.
I have rewatched some of my favourite from the original series so a remaster is wonderful
Thanks for showing us the solar eclipses on Mars in the end. I loved it. Almost brought me to tears! Remaster Jupiter, please. Thanks!
how humbling space is. if only everyone were to share this perspective.
Videos of home make me happy.
Great video as always!
But can you please do metric units aswell going forward? a video conversion would be nice, because which European in their right mind does know what 38000 or 120000 ft is in meters or km... (i know now, because i looked it up, but also i now am writing this essay to 'complain' about the units you use.)
really just a feature request comment if nothing else.
How about ditching imperial fully. Scientific video with feet and other idiotic measurements?
Hahahaha metric😂
@@321CatboxWA Only right and logical way.
Thanks for remastering these old videos, Alex. What a ride it's been, innit?
Cheers to you and your team.
Noice one team, lovely upload and um, arousing thumbnail
There's an interesting fact about seasons on Mars that even most space enthusiasts don't know.
Because the orbit of Mars is significantly eccentric, its distance from the Sun varies much more than the Earth. When Mars is closer to the Sun, Mars gets more sunlight, and when it's farther from the Sun, it gets less sunlight.
On the Earth, the warmest and coldest times of year aren't the solstices. This is because the Earth has big oceans that take a long time to heat up and cool down. Because Mars lacks oceans, it doesn't experience this seasonal lag.
On Mars, the northern summer solstice happens to line up approximately with the time when Mars is farthest from the Sun in its orbit.
When the northern hemisphere of Mars points toward the Sun, summer happens, but sunlight is weaker because Mars is farther from the Sun. When the northern hemisphere of Mars points away from the Sun, winter happens, but sunlight is stronger because Mars is closer to the Sun. The southern hemisphere experiences the opposite, with weaker sunlight during the winter and stronger sunlight during the summer.
The result is that some places in the northern hemisphere experience practically no seasons at all, and seasons throughout the whole northern hemisphere are rather mild. The southern hemisphere, however, experiences extreme seasons.
For this reason, all missions to Mars have been to places in its north or tropics - where seasons are mild and temperatures stay relatively warm and consistent throughout the Martian year. It's easier, cheaper, and safer to send missions there because the weather is better.
The south of Mars has yet to see a single mission because it's much more difficult, expensive, and risky to design a mission that could handle the extreme seasons there.
The nipple of the gods!
A deep dive into the memories of Mars. We all have memories. A beginning and an end. So will Mars. And that alone proves our existence. I just was browsing through this channel while partially listening to the world as we know it might not exist or something from this channel and just wanted to leave this comment.
You are a good man doing fantastic work. Thank you. But seriously 'geezer'? (It made me spit laughing) As a Canadian, phonetically speaking, in the world it is a guy-zer.. (You Brits crack me up. Love you a bunch for everything from a 'boot' to Al-U-Minium.) Let us not forget a car branded as 'saloon'. I have learned much from the boys at Top Gear and I laugh in joy with you.
I vividly remember your 1st video - this follow up is highly appreciated
4:33 that gravity representation was great!!
Why is it you are so good at explaining/teaching the things I think kids should be learning at school...???!!!
But... Thank you for, well, being you!!!
As a kid I watched Neil Armstrong walk on the moon, I have always wanted to go to Mars, I guess I am too old now.
Your never to old as long as your imagination exists and your mind is still inquisitive..
@@user-gd2nm2tk3y Thank you, in my Mind I have already been to Mars, I just want to go there physically
@@donpeppers6681if I’m not mistaken you can sign up with SpaceX for their mars trip. No age restriction. No return flight either.
@@donpeppers6681i wont let you go to mars
I love hiking in mountains and canyons. The beauty is awe inspiring. My dream would be to hike on Mars, if somehow I could survive without a spacesuit. The geology looks amazing.
It would be 3 times easier to climb mountains, since your weight will be about 1/3rd.
And you could carry 3 times more mass in a backpack and the backpack's weight would feel the same.
You can boil water just by opening a bottle...and you can drink boiling water without burning. Or operate a steam engine without a fire...you just need liquid water, voila you can drive steam powered turbines, engines, etc.
Thanks Alex. Happy to see all your video's on solar system bodies remastered.
kinda looks ultra peaceful ..no garbage no deformations just pure creation undisturbed
I'd like you to compare the challenges of building a community on Mars compared to a community on our Moon - excluding the time and expense of travel, but including the dangers to the crew in Earth-Mars trips, such as radiation and long-term weightlessness or spin gravity.
I think we like Mars only for the fact that it's the closest terrestrial planet that wont immediately kill us upon landing. I personally love Venus. I love your videos, keep up the good work! much love
When I was a child, Apollo was visiting the moon and NASA predicted a moon base, a commercial space station similar to the one envisioned in 2001, A Space Oddessy, and manned missions to Mars by the 1980s.....
love the shot of earth from Mars 🙂
As always, a pleasure to watch and listen too. Thanks Alex
Imagine how crazy Earth would look dried uo and without water. Mariana trench would look like a HUGE scar and so much of the ocean would look weird
Does anyone else get a feeling us humans once occupied Mars but because we destroyed the planet we moved to Earth?
I don't know but Mars gives me a vibe of what Earth could look like if we are not careful
I have never seen that Earth and Moon photos before. Delightful
i like how you explained the things etc., videography si astounding. it can be use in schools
17:20 MY favorite fact about Mars is that. . . at night high level clouds commonly form. Some are likely nacreous clouds, composed of CO2 ice. Others look lower to me, and may be high alto-cumulus clouds, like those that form on the lee side of Arsia Mons. Did you know it can snow on Mars? So there are some ideas for your next subject, Alex.
And thank you for your love of the near Universe. Cheers.
This video is great if you know nothing about Mars. A great starting point for fresh minds
Why does Astrum talk so slowly?
I watch at x2.0 and it sounds just about normal.
International audience. I'm glad he talks slowly so I can understand it :)
A lot of TH-camrs talk too fast and with terrible accents. Impossible to follow for me as a non-native English speaker.
@@_rlb I guess that makes sense.
I just feel (slightly) bad for his "viewer retention" statistics.
If I watch the whole video at x2.0 he will only receive 50% viewer watch time from me.
You'll be eating your tears if they ever went to cg/ai voicing 😐
@@PushyPawn
Is that a fact or just an assumption that a channel receives a smaller percentage if viewers watch at double speed?
After all , sadly the advertisements
always remain at normal speed ,
even though I wish they could
also move twice as quick.
Just beautiful and fascinating. I love everything about space. So cool that i was in that photo!
Tremendous video Alex. - another triumph. I need to see what’s happening with my notifications as I haven’t seen a video of yours for ages. Flippin algorithm ! Your videos I view as part of my staple TH-cam diet… so why haven’t I been seeing them. Grrr !
Can they retake the Earth selfie? My eyes were closed.
do some more deep space objects, aka pulsars, magnetars, neutron stars. love to hear more of that.
All the planets are fascinating beyond measure. Jupiter for it's sheer enormity and amazing cloud layer system. Neptune for it's amazing blue cold. Uranus for it's sideways orientation. Saturn for its.... Who can choose?
I enjoy learning about other celestial objects .
i am a simple man, I see this thumbnail I press like
One of your best videos...in my humble opinion.
Olympus Mans has the characteristics of a lightning blister than a shield volcano. And Valis Maranaris looks like it was excavated by electrical discharge/lightning instead of any erosion with literally outflow. The entire top half of Mars is stripped bare while the southern part is a rocky wasteland.. material pulled from the upper hemisphere and redeposited to the south.. if not cast into space forever….
It’s time to start looking at things in space with tools other than just collisions and explosions.
Adding Mars to my bucket list!
Fascinating!
Is there enough info for a doc on Neptune's moon, Triton?
We love you and your voice is so pleasant to listen to. Also, *thank you* for not injecting any politics into your videos.
People often talk about how the presence of a large moon stabilizes the Earth's axis. Mars does not have a large moon. Perhaps its interior is much more uniform than Earth's?
In the future: a trip through the Inner Asteroid Belt. [Think "mining operation," to give it added purpose.] See you on Ceres!
The transit of Venus I saw was amazing because I was sitting in a bar watching on my tablet, thinking about the guy who sailed to another country for months to see a transit, and died before he got there.
Your video is the reason i installed ad blocker
Thanks Alex. Always a Joy watching your interesting presentations👍👍
You have the most beautiful narrating voice on TH-cam.
The selfie of all of us on the planet Earth is so profound
All I think about when I see Valles Marineris is Mass Effect (they used that valley's image to simulate the The Great Rift Valley on Klendagon. The "glancing blow of a powerful mass accelerator")
Pluto and Mercury. The small, unimportant planets that had so many surprises!
Such as?
What first got me interested in space was the National Geographic articles about Pathfinder back in 1997! I was fascinated be the idea that we can control/communicate with machine sso far away. And then Pathfinder itself was even in the book/movie The Martian in 2015!
😼 Seeing the thumbnail, I was thinking more of Venus 😼
That thumbnail kinda sus, anyway great video
Consider Using Frame interpolation to increase your animation's framerate to 60fps
I like Mars. Alot!. But this video make me love it even more.
I absolutely love your videos .
Those volcanic mountains look so strange considering thet are close to each other & the pattern it makes. It looks like a battle wound from a attack
your work is loved. thanks alex.
Super interesting as always, Alex. Thanks.
My favourite fact about Mars is that it once [likely] supported life.
Another wonderful and interesting vid. You make it easy for people with no knowledge to understand the bigger picture.
If I could choose a remastered vid it would be the moons of the two gas giants, Jupiter and Saturn. These along with Mars have been touted as the most likely place for human settlement.
Mars, the most interesting planet of the century, if you ask me. Could watch a 3 hour special of this one.
I love the blue sunsets.
Mars isn't our closest neighbor, that's Venus. Loving the outro music!
Depends on how you define closest, and neighbor.
@@user-pk9qo1gd6r It is closer, but hellish
@@user-pk9qo1gd6r I like Venus more. define "our".
Mars is beautiful for sure, but the more I look at it, the more I see how fascinating, beautiful, weird, and interesting Earth actually is at the same time.
