  • When you think of ringed planets, you probably assume there's only one of them in our Solar System, Saturn. But what if I told you that there are three other planets similar to Saturn? It's true. Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune all have their own sets of rings.

      If there were sound in space, there would also need to be molecules to propagate the sound waves. Those molecules would also create drag on the earth, messing with our orbit, and cause us to fall into the sun.

    About nuking the asteroid, yes it would cause a massive rock to break up into tiny pieces; however, a lot of it would burn up , and even if a lot of the pieces hit, the damage it would cause would be massive, but it wouldnt wipe out all life. Now if that massive asteroid hits the planet as a whole, all life would be gone. Correct me if I am wrong, but blowing it up would at least save some of the world, if we had no other choice.

    I do know that when some/many people refer to the "dark side" of the moon they are mistakenly using that term to indicate permanent darkness as if being unable to see it equates to darkness.
    And yes, a more appropriate term is the 'far side', but strictly speaking the moon _does_ have a dark side, just as the Earth does, just as any body revolving around a star does.
    Any sphere can only have one side lit in a single star system and though that other, dark side, isn't permanent unless it is tidally locked to its parent star, half of its surface will be 'dark' at any time.

      @@ronkali5365 The moon is always lit. One side of it is always facing the sun. Just because you can't see it from a particular vantage point doesn't mean sunlight isn't falling on the far side from where you are.
      There are only 2 times when it appears that the moon is 'never lit'. One is when during a total lunar eclipse the moon is completely covered by the Earth's shadow, although refraction of light through the Earth's atmosphere casts a red glow on the moon, so technically it's still lit.
      The only time the moon is completely 'unlit' is during a solar eclipse when the moon is directly in front of us and the lit side is opposite you the viewer, which is also the same as a new moon, with or without an eclipse. But I would add that even then, Earth shine reflects sunlight from the Earth's surface onto the moon which makes it dimly visible.
      But the moon is always lit, just because you are at a point where you can't see it does not mean it isn't lit. That doesn't happen. It is obvious.

      True, at any given moment, the Moon does have a bright side and a dark side in the sense that one half of the surface of the Moon is sunlit while the other half is not, but I think that many people mistakenly think that these regions are unchanging, that any given point on the Moon will either always be bright or dark. In fact, most places* on the surface of the Moon experience a day night cycle, analogous to that experienced by most places* on Earth, but with a diurnal cycle of about 29.5 days rather than the 24 hours diurnal cycle experienced (at most places) on Earth.
      * The exception is those places quite close to the poles.

    • @WombatMan64

      Technically it's compressive forces heating up the air, not friction, that causes objects falling to earth to heat up and break apart.
      But yeah, this would have to be assessed on a case by case basis. One big chunk large enough to destroy all life on Earth, vs many smaller chunks none of which by themselves would destroy life...

      Say you get an asteroid 100 miles across. You blow it up into 20 asteroids all 5 miles across then each of those is a planet killer. Able to end all life on Earth. Or nearly all. Combined they would take out all life bigger than bacteria. Even as smaller chunks. Even 100 asteroids 1 mile across would devastate the planet completely.

    Been watching this channel for years and kinda disappointed in your Supreme Court mis representation of the ruling. We have 3 branches for a reason and multiple agencies including the epa are operating outside the scope of their jurisdiction. Chevron deference was granted so agencies could enforce law within the scope of the defined law. EPA was changing interpretations so it could fit what it wanted to into it’s scope and this making it’s own law . Which violates separation of power. This is true with other agencies too . Scotus said you cannot enforce what is not in that law passed by Congress…. Chevron deference is next on the chopping block and good riddance. Too much over reach . I’m all for keeping nature clean and happy and safe but you also have to stop government overreach or gov gets too big like it is now

      There's no atmosphere on Moon so the light from the sun (and the reflected light from the Earth) doesn't get scattered. That's why the sky is dark in all the Moon Landing photos. When you look up at a blue sky on Earth what you are seeing is sunlight bouncing off water and dust in the atmosphere. There is a case to be made for building an observatory on the farside (the so called 'dark side') of the Moon though as the Moon would then block out all the electromagnetic interference our tech is generating here on Earth.

      That is not true. The absence of light pollution is a must, though.

As soon as you move to the dark side of the moon, without any light pollution AND no interference of an atmosphere, the faint light of the stars has no competition, and as soon as your eyes have adapted you’ll be blown away by a srarfilled sky like nothing seen on earth.

    @erika5012 9 місяців тому

    This was a fun video and most things were 100% correct though there’s a few that could be explained more.
    1. Yes black holes do “suck everything in” at least everything past its event horizon is gone and can’t leave due to its strong gravitational force.
    2. Nuking an asteroid even if it doesn’t deflect the asteroid is still better than the alternative. The hope is that the smaller fragments would burn up on entry as most asteroids do. Of course the decision of what to do to a large asteroid on a collision course is complicated and depends on many different factors.
    3. Yes you can see stars on the moon. The problem is both with how reflective the surface of the moon is with light and the sun’s brightness. But this is only during lunar day. If you were to stay on the moon for lunar night which lasts 14 earth days, the stars would be very visible and sharp due to the lack of atmosphere.
    4. Yes while special relativity does play a role, general relativity was also a theory proposed by Einstein that states gravity also plays a role in time dilation. Astronauts are further away from the surface of the earth so there’d be time dilation. But yeah over 340 days the time dilation is only milliseconds as seen with Scott and Mark Kelly.

    Regarding the comment of aging in space, as I understand it, just being in space will make you age slower than if you were on the surface of Earth (thanks to a small effect by gravity). Your rate of time passage will slow down if you are in space by about .0007 seconds per six months (based on the ISS astronauts). Not exactly noticeable by humans. But it's highly noticeable by the GPS system. I was surprised to learn that GPS had to take Einstein's Theory of General Relativity into account when computing distance

    The asteroid one was just wrong. A bunch of smaller rocks would burn up in the atmosphere or detonate high up. The detonation or detonations could be sufficient to slow it down or deflect it so that it's velocity is not directed straight at Earth. While there are better options, nuking the asteroid does actually improve a situation from catastrophic to devastating (depending on size and trajectory).
    There is no blast wave in space. Nukes are not actually good in space like they are on earth because of the lack of atmosphere. You would need to do a direct hit, not "near" as this video implies. Did they do any research on this subject?
