The 2030's will see many advances in our understanding of the solar system's icy moons. ESA's JU.I.C.E, NASA's Europa clipper and Dragonfly, and other projects, are now intended at finding evidence of life. I look forward to future episodes of Kosmo reporting on their findings..
Cassini/Hyugens was an amazing, iconic mission! I have to admit that I get a little choked up when I see the animation of its destruction when it entered Saturn's atmosphere.
The "dragonfly" drone should be able to withstand being submerged in the bodies of liquid or at least, some drone attached to it via umbilical cable to be dragged through the liquid thereby gaining real info on the liquid since dragonfly can survey everywhere else but the liquid!
Think about how dangerous it would be to do this in a helicopter. Now think about how ridiculously dangerous it would be to do this with a pre-programmed robotic device at a distance where the turnaround time for any signal is 4+ hours. I don't think this will happen until we have humans in Titan orbit to oversee operations without that delay.
I love anything dealing with Titan. But the Scale of the size of those rivers and seas had to have made the discovery of STATE SIZED BODIES OF LIQUID MADE THE SCIENTIST SPIT OUT THEIR COFFEE. But for Carl Sagan to figure that Titan had liquid methane before it was discovered is awesome.
Thank you! Fascinating and informative. Just a heads-up: "Mare" is a Latin word meaning "sea." It therefore isn't pronounced as one would pronounce it as if one were speaking of a female horse. It is pronounced "mah-ray."
1. It's Saturn, not Jupiter, but I'm sure that was just a brainfart :P 2. That view is completely unrealistic - first of all, Titan's orbital inclination is 0.3 degrees, meaning it would be edge-on with Saturn's rings. Secondly, Titan's atmosphere would probably make it impossible to see Saturn from Titan's surface.
Wow, long, great maded, high quality material :) Good work! I'm gonna watch more about different globes :). Is there Pluto... uuu there's Pluto as well. This will be my second travel :3 my favourite globe
Missed uour videos. Glad to see you back. Somehow didnt see your newest uploads the past 8 months. I hope your views reach your past normal range. Great stuff as always, gonna watch all your newest videos this morning:)
@3:40 You misspoke and said Hydrogen. I cannot wait until the Dragonfly mission to reveal more about the gorgeous moon. I think Titan does indeed have life silicon based on it's surface and in it's methane water bodies. It just may also have hydrothermal vents in the brine like salt h20 oceans with carbon based life. Awesome video Kosmo!!
Burning question: If you brought a supply of oxygen to Titan, released it, and struck a match, would there be a combustion cascade that sets the whole planet on fire?
no but good theory tho but if titans atmosphere was actually oxygen that you could breath in then yeah you could do it or at least set the lakes in fire maybe not the whole MOON
I actually wondered the exact same thing the other day. The theory was that we could combust all of that methane into water and carbon dioxide. After discussing with some others, we would need an infeasibly large amount of oxygen. We could, in theory, release oxygen into Titan’s atmosphere by drilling up the metal oxide minerals in its crust, but this could take centuries.
Hey! I got a question. Since we know that the Saturnian moon Titan has essentially flowing rivers and rains, and lakes, of what is essentially Zippo lighter fluid (hydrocarbons) and Everclear, just what types of sub-zero dinosaurs created all that? :)
All fossil fuels are made from hydrocarbons. However, not all hydrocarbons come from fossil fuels. You can have ethane and methane come from non-biological sources. Just as diamonds (pure carbon) are not necessarily formed from such fossil fuels either. Therefore, there are probably no sub-zero dinosaurs responsible for forming those hydrocarbon lakes on Titan. But wouldn't it be cool if we found some anyway? 😁
@@jasontoddman7265 kind of. I had to think for a moment whether I wanted to post it or not. Honestly, I was thinking of the Simpsons episode where Moe's got raided during prohibition.
Liquid methane rivers, excellent! Great findings! Kraken Mare Fabulous sea monster in the Norwegian seas said to be a mile and a half in circumference and to cause a whirlpool when it dives.
Sorry to nitpick, but the views of Saturn in the sky are not possible, because a) Titan's orbital inclination is 0.3 degrees, meaning the rings would be pretty much edge-on all the time and b) Titan's atmospheric soup is so thick, you would probably not be able to see the Sun, let alone Saturn, ever.
@@Theodorus5 To quote the Wikipedia article on Titan's atmosphere: "The Huygens probe was unable to detect the direction of the Sun during its descent, and although it was able to take images from the surface, the Huygens team likened the process to "taking pictures of an asphalt parking lot at dusk"." It also mentions that the atmosphere is so thick, it reaches up more than 1000km high, and that humans could fly just by attaching wing-like devices to their arms and flapping them.
Excellent website - very stimulating. I will continue to return to it and I can't wait for the next trip to the planet by the unbeatable "Yanks". Thanks, from Ireland.
For anyone who does not know, Kelvin and Celsius temperature scales are identical, they simply zero at different points. Absolute zero is 0 degrees K while the freezing point of fresh water is 0 C. Any change is identical for both. Of course K can never be a negative value.
Why? It is much further out from the Sun, meaning solar energy is not much of an option. It is extremely cold. It is much harder to reach than Mars, and it takes much longer to get there, at least with current technologies.
Hi @Kosmo_off . I love your videos. I'm just watching this and wanted to point out that at 3:43 you say hydrogen, but the image shows nitrogen. But more importantly, at 4:13 you say "dissolved organic matter", but organic specifically refers to an amalgamation of that which was (or is) a living organism (hence organic). I think the distinction is significant in this context.
Pretty sure "dissolved organic matter" is a shortened meaning of "dissolved matter that results from organic chemistry" but I'm just as pretty sure you knew that already (if you didn't, use Google, the distinction is right there)
And "more inportantly" if you have taken the time to post, then you know full well that titan is 95% nitrogen in the atmosphere. It's good to be right, but it's more right to be good. (And not a smart ass. Anyone can make a mistake)
@@cragrock I'd say the first part he brought up was valid just because it truly is an audio-to-video error that they would probably like to be aware of and could probably fix quite easily. Second part, though...definitely unnecessary nitpicking.
@@SteedRuckus it's not unnecessary nitpicking. Organic relates to organisms and there are none confirmed on Titan. It is misinformation being phrased as "dissolved organic matter".
Though I'd freak if it turned out the rings of Saturn included the One Ring and the Nine Rings made for Men - and that Sauron was waiting to ensnare people traveling to Titan with them.
When I build my spaceship I'll swing by and pick you two up and we will answer these questions for humanity. I've been preparing my whole life for this. I'm ready
Given that earth has life at all extremes on the planet, it would silly to suggest that life couldn’t exist because of heat/cold/pressure/lack of sunlight, or anything else you can think of. It all exists here, so why wouldn’t it evolve elsewhere?
The quality of these videos is amazing but that dialogue at the beginning just seems so lazy and awkward. I think it would be better if there was some sort of reverb or low pitch added to it or somehting to make it more epic and fitting.
Unfortunately it doesn't look like this IRL. 1. You can't see Saturn through Titan's thick atmosphere 2. If you could, you'd barely see the rings because Titan 's orbit is nearly edge-on with them.
@@1DTL no, we just had Cassini flyby (and analyze Titan's atmospheric composition) several hundred times, and landed a probe with various instruments on Titan's surface, and we got a ton of publicly available data back, but what do I know, right?
It's a paradox, there's no other life in our solar system, yet the universe is beyond vast and holds countless forms of life, including bipedal intelligent beings from 1' tall to 20' tall.
What isn't happening on Titan is Saturn at this very cinematic angle in the sky like in the intro. I don't mind. :) Maybe a few more "maybe's" or "we think" or "our current leading theory is" would be good. Declaring the interior layout as a fact is a bit too soon.

Burning question:
If you brought a supply of oxygen to Titan, released it, and struck a match, would there be a combustion cascade that sets the whole planet on fire?
No. Once the oxidizer would run out you’d lose the localized reaction. Good pun though.
The cassini Huygens probe had to have costed 1.5 billion
Nah
