This is insane! I am excited i have discovered your lectures and you. Your a great communicator of the subject and the fact that you are talking about the most recent and current events while mixing in a little history and humour makes it even better. 👍
Great presentation style, it is nice to hear someone how knows the subject and is also fluid in there presentation. Very enjoyable. BBC give the man a job.
@@grahambuckerfield4640 Well he was, with is co-presenter, but then the BBC made an unwise decision to cancel the show, unless I am mistaken. They where both great, and while I was a sceptic at the start when they took over from the great man, they have done a wonderful job together.
The most likely source of phosphine is through volcanic actions reacting with acid rain. Unlikely to be indicative of any bio source due to extremes of temperature and atmosphere.
35.06 Where he claims that the lack of surface craters on IO is indicative of it's age, I think is flawed. Surely any stray asteroids in the region would be attracted by Jupiter's gravity away from it's moons. Am I wrong?
we should not be permitted morally to look for any life on any other heavenly body until we can accept the differences between our own race; color, shape of face, customs and belief systems etc etc. as well as stop eating, experimenting on and exploiting our animals. How badly would we treat an entirely different species to anything we have ever known. BUT, as he said during the question time, we are judging life by what we know, when it could exist but be totally different.
Im so happy ro have found this channel and you! Brilliantly put together, thank you!
A fascinating romp through the Solar System from one of our best science communicators...thoroughly enjoyed it!

Fascinating information in the cutting edge of the field, and so well communicated. Thanks!
Wonderful stuff, keep 'em coming.
'Venusian penguins' is not a phrase I was expecting to hear today.
Didn't know that the phosphine observation had been finally confirmed, awesome! Now let's go visit those Venusian penguins! 🙂
46:22 so what you’re saying is, Titan is edging life?
Yes, I was wondering if we'd totally underestimated the humble penguin
Neat. Planets atmospheres and chemistry are important. Noticed the NASA craft. Lecture is promised to be exciting.
Unlike other videos of Gresham College, this video doesn't have English subtitles. Why? Anyway, thank you for the video!
I see subtitles if I click the cc button. If that doesn’t work let me know and I’ll get the experts to have a look!

I came for the penguins, Plutonian penguins 😢😮😊

It’s actually the right end of a cow that produces the most methane. Or maybe that makes it the wrong end?!
What is there are mermaids in those oceanic planet's?
The Marvels of the Solar System 1657pm 31.10.23 telescope being built - you seen the entire city by max ernst (if that's it's name)?
