    Fun fact: Io, Europa, and Ganymede are in 1:2:4 orbital resonance. Meaning for every time Ganymede orbits, Europa orbits twice, and Io orbits 4 times. But their pattern is such that there's never a triple conjunction (they never all line up on the same side of Jupiter, instead there can only be two of them at conjunction and the other at opposition).

    I think we should call moons that are too small to be round, like small asteroids, asteroons.

      Josh Bobst Perhaps Lunaroids? Seeing as how they're "moon like". But I guess luna is too specific?
      Asteroons is interesting, but Asteroid means "star-like", so Asteroon is gibberish, AFAIK.
      Good try, though, man.

    Jupiter is considered by some to be a system in it's own right, and as you said in a previous episode it emits heat. When you combine that with the friction from tidal forces on Europa by the other moons, it wouldn't too much of a stretch to say that the Jupiter System has it's own habitable zone.

      Actually, can we start calling Europeans Europese?

    Ganymede is one of my favourite astral bodies. I love the little unique story behind Ganymede as a mythological character too. The aurora light effects on the poles are gorgeous.
    Europa is extremely interesting with its layers of ice and water and I can't wait for more information on that moon. The movie Europa was really interesting.

    Thank you very much for making this video. Phil Plait and the others at _CrashCourse_ Astronomy! It was really interesting to learn about the moons of Jupiter. Jupiter - the gorilla in the Solar system, the giant that is really hostile to live but has moons that are promising in the search for life on other worlds. Go Europa! I can’t wait for next episode, where we will learn about Titan and Enceladus!
    By the way, I live in Europe and this also seams life can exist here to. ☺

    Here's my metric for "Is it a moon or not:" If I (an average human) can stand on the body, jump as hard as i can, but still be brought back down to the surface by gravity, it's a moon. If I can escape the body on leg power alone, it's a satellite.

    • @thekilmer09
      @thekilmer09 8 років тому +4

      +rlrsk8r1 by your definition, earth is a moon, revolving around the sun (which is also a moon revolving around the center of the Milky way). Your definition needs more specifications.

    • @rlrsk8r1
      @rlrsk8r1 8 років тому +5

      I would also define a moon as an object in a stable orbit around a planet as defined by the IAU.

    I wonder if a moon can have a natural satelite on it's own. Now I know it may sound crazy, but I see no reason why it would be impossible. (Arent there are like stable orbit zones around all celestial objects? Langrange points, maybe? I dont know)

    • @MrRizeAG
      @MrRizeAG 9 років тому +3

      Dávid Abonyi I think the problem would be that the moons are already so close to a large planet, that the "moon's moon" would likely get thrown off balance by the planet and fall down to it. I suppose it's technically possible though, if everything lines up just right.

    The video definitely shows the improvements that had been made by man in terms of astronomy. The aesthetics of the video were really fantastic since not only it is fun, but it also greatly helps in the understanding of the topic. They weren't all over the place and it gives the vibe of a conducive learning environment. Also, the interrelationships of the four moons and Jupiter were highly emphasized; it makes learning easier for the viewers. An example of it is: the sulfur-rich material being ejected because of the activity with the other moons which is tidal flexing which heats its interior through friction. It's also great that the video also put emphasis in Europa's comparability to Earth. The existence of carbon-based molecules and salt supports it. The possibility of the spawning of life in Europa is probably a staggering discovery for mankind since it helps in the innovation of astronomical research

  • @99batran
    @99batran 9 років тому +32

    why should we call our moon THE Moon? at least for long?
    We should find some way to distinguish in from the rest, someday, if Humans colonize other planets. We need to distinguish between each moon. Even humans on other planets someday would call their moons THE MOONS or the moon.
    We could nickname our moon "Luna" to distinguish it

    • @West_Kagle
      @West_Kagle 9 років тому +13

      99batran . I think that the moon (our moon) is technically called Luna. At least in every video game I have played that involves space travel and exploration, the name of the celestial body that orbits Earth is Luna (although, video games are not an offical source for information).

    • @draconianking
      @draconianking 9 років тому +5

      West Kagle The sun, moon, and our planet have no set name. Sure, we've all seen the names of Sol, Luna, and Terra, but they are just popular names. Every language calls them something different.

    • @Ironysandwich
      @Ironysandwich 9 років тому +5

      99batran
      We do distinguish it. Our moon is named Moon. Admittedly that's a little like naming your dog Dog, but it works well enough.
      I second "Luna" though, which, like nicknaming Dog Canis, isn't' really any different, but it does sound a bit better.

    • @megaman922934
      @megaman922934 9 років тому +5

      Maybe you are speaking of "tidal locking"? like our own moon is tidally locked to the Earth. One side of our moon faces the Earth all the time, the other side doesn't, gravity pulls on the side facing us more than the side that doesn't.

    Life on earth is all built off of water, can it not be possible for life to build off another liquid? Or is that just incomprehensible to us?

      It's possible, Saturn's moon Titan is the most likely candidate in our solar system for methane and amonia based organisms.

    On the Expanse, a character says he's gonna hide the ship "behind one of Jupiter's 71 cute little moons" while the rest of the crew went down to Ganymede. Keeping in mind it takes place two centuries (at least) into the future. I do know that at least one new one has been discovered since this video was created.

    Fantastic summary! I'd never want to live forever, but I'd love to be able to somehow "return" and check out the Universe and humans at points in the future. If I could return in a hundred or more years when we hopefully send craft to Europa, I'd love to be able to "return" just to find out what humanity learns from exploring the oceans of Europa. It could be nothing but a frigid lifeless ocean, but it could hold life....

    There's a huge number of maybes for life on Europa. The one that strikes me as most important is how stable the ecosystem is over billions of years. Stuff is crashing into Jupiter, hitting moons on the way in. Radiation could be a source of life energy, but also could sterilize anything not tolerant of it.
    It would be very cool to be piloting a camera underwater there and suddenly stumble upon a weird skeleton or something, though.

    Crash Course, do you still take questions? I've read that Jupiter radiated a lot more heat early in its life, but I've never been able to ascertain how much. Do you know warm Jupiter was after its birth, and was it warm enough to liquidate its moons?

    I've always been fascinated by the solar system, but there have been high points in my education of it. One of those was discovering an Atlas of the planets in my local library. Until then I had no idea we had such detailed and informative photographs and diagrams of our neighboring worlds. I still collect these kinds of images on my computer today. The other high point was learning more about the various moons of the gas giants. It was like discovering a whole set of new worlds, with each gas giant taking the role of a miniature star with its own dominion of miniature planets.

  • @Avemis1
    @Avemis1 9 років тому +2

    Tidal heating on Io and Europa comes mainly from Jupiter gravity, not the moons. Orbital resonance just works to stabilize ther eccentricity, which is nessesary for any tidal flexing to occur. And the magnetic field on Callisto is only induced, not independent.
