3.5-Mile-Tall Tower on the Moon: 5 Mysterious Photos from Space

- Rare, lesser-seen mysterious photos from space...
After the Sun and Moon, Venus is the brightest object visible from Earth-a barren, desolate world that is both familiar and eerily alien.
From 1961 to 1984, as NASA prioritized its Apollo Moon missions, the Soviet space agency conducted the less-publicized Venera program, aiming to unravel the mysteries of Venus. Throughout this period, numerous probes and landers were launched to gather data and capture images of this enigmatic world.
Of these, 13 probes successfully penetrated the Venusian atmosphere, with ten managing to land on the planet's surface.
While the success rate might not have met Soviet aspirations, it denoted a remarkable accomplishment: these were the first human-made objects to enter another planet's atmosphere.
What most perplexed engineers and researchers was that after successfully landing, the probes would soon encounter abrupt, catastrophic failures. Their operational lifespan ranged from 23 to 120 minutes.
On December 15, 1970, Venera 7 entered the Venusian atmosphere. Unfortunately, its parachute malfunctioned, causing it to plummet for 30 minutes before crash landing on Venus at 38 miles per hour.
Remarkably, it survived long enough to transmit data, revealing a surface temperature of around 900 degrees Fahrenheit and a pressure analogous to being more than half a mile underwater on Earth. Venera 7 became the first spacecraft to soft land on another planet and the first to transmit data from there back to Earth.
Venera 9 would be the first device to return images from another planet. It became one of just four to ever do so successfully due to the conditions of the planet's atmosphere quickly rendering the probes useless.
The rare images reveal a bleak world of cracked rocks, arid plains, and hostile desert. Later probes produced sepia-tinged wide-angle panoramas of the surface.
More advanced probes were then sent, which measured wind speed using microphones and attempted to map the surface using radar, but all ultimately succumbed to the harsh environment.
The data from the Soviet landings offer vivid insights into Venus. The planet's sulfur content would create a repulsive rotten egg odor, its rain-acidic enough to dissolve human flesh-and the consensus is that the harshness of the environment precludes the existence of familiar life forms.
Yet, in 2012, Russian scientist Leonid Ksanfomaliti published a paper suggesting that images from the 1982 Venera 13 probe hinted at potential life forms. He believed that certain objects, which appeared mobile, resembled a "disk," a "black flap," and even a "scorpion." These, he proposed, might be creatures that evolved to thrive in Venus's extremes.
Ksanfomaliti's claims, while stirring conspiracy theories about classified photos and potential signs of extraterrestrial life and structures, were met with substantial skepticism from the broader scientific community.
While we can be reasonably certain that the terrific heat and crushing pressure on the surface of Venus is responsible for the short lifespans of the probes to have landed on it, it remains surprising that so few should have managed to transmit a single image back to Earth.
There remains a great deal to be learned about Venus.
Thanks to everyone for the immense love you've shown towards the intro. However, I'm trying something different today and leaving it out. There have been some peculiarities with UA-cam lately, and despite the affection many of you have for the intro, I've noticed that a significant number tend to skip it. This might inadvertently impact how UA-cam perceives the video's engagement. I hope you understand, and I genuinely appreciate your continued support.
Really? People are skipping it? Who are these people! It’s great and unique but do what you feel is best we don’t come here for the intro it’s your content and it’s great I’ve been watching for years, the only thing I can think of regarding the into is when you watch a marathon of things the same sound can annoy some people it happens to me(never with your intro though!) but you keep hearing it and it annoys you so you skip it, maybe this has something to do with the skipped intro? Anyways keep up the good work bro!
U should do what evér is in ur best interest
I love the intro. Oddly enough it’s a big part of why I click your videos. 🤷♂️
I’m just one person but I skip it because the music is very bass heavy and loud at one particular point. If it were to be remixed (normalized, EQ’d and run through a compressor, or maybe a band-pass filter) it might keep its character without being so jarring.
I skip all intros I’ve already seen. I’ll watch anything once, but there are very few things I will watch twice. Nothing personal. If it’s better for you and better for me, I call that a win-win.
My greatest fear was that you would change the intro song, I never thought you’d outright remove it…. The horror, the horror.
All of this!!!
I want it back!!
amen
I I don’t know if I can watch anymore, its just not right
Bruh…
I’m suing for emotional ear damage 😢
Also trying something new for the list videos... I'm aiming for an interesting twist on the final entry 🧐
Clarify?
I can only speak for myself for 99% of occasions but right now I will speak for the majority, if not the entirety of us who are following you years on and day in and day out🎉 do you!! We all love and support you NO MATTER WHAT DARK ❤
Been watching this channel for years and will continue to
How bout you aim for deletion of one of ur 12 channels
Listen pal, where's the intro music. Put it back.
The intro is definitely original to the channel. Reminds me of those creepy Saturday sci-fi shows from the 60s and 70s. Love the channel.
The Venus stuff annoys me because after each mission they got a better idea of the conditions but didn’t upgrade the next probes to be more conducive to the environment…
Or so they say....
to be fair, for the period even if they did upgrade them it would be marginal gains as the material science then wasn't as advance as it is now. With recent breakthroughs in developing circuit boards made with materials that can withstand the pressure and heat that would be experienced on Venus. Also consider it might haven been cheaper to just build something that could last about an hour and have the next probe be ready to launch when the other one dies, as getting to Venus is considerably easier to get to than Mars.
@@GroundByte true but there was volcanic research and submarines at this point, they could have made them last longer than 2 hours.
@@redpanda9367Kind of hard to get electronics to survive in such a blazing hot, acidic, and heavy-atmospheric pressure environment.
Kinda hard to prepare anything that can sustain 850 degrees and 2,500 ft under the sea pressure.
BRING INTRO BACK
It's part of how I know a new video is starting when I binge these as part of a playlist while doing dishes or gaming or whatever
I love your intro with the eerie music and orange sun thingy.
Please bring it back.
Make it even a bit longer to enjoy that beautiful eerie music at the start.
Same here. That classic is so nostalgic for some reason. It's just not the same narration without it
its what got me watching this channel back in the day. XD I'll click sometimes just to see it
Same I want the intro back
What I don't understand is he said a significant number of people skip the intro, but almost every comment on this video is saying they want it back
There's no "lost tapes" of the Apollo 11 mission. They disappeared on a purpose
Right ? I've managed to retain pictures and negatives from my parents that were around before I was born 54 years ago on a budget of $35.000 a year. NASA claims to loose everything with billion dollar budgets. 😂
How sure are you of your position? Willing to risk your life for such a bold claim? Let me just say, I doubt it keyboard warrior. Enjoy your small life.
@@Greenlandshark77 why you so upset ? You got issues.
@@Summernightsandneonlights you have to admire the religious zeal of NASA's defenders 😂
I have seen the photo from venus as a kid. It blew my mind and was one of many things that helped me understand my place in the space we live in.
What if the "spire structure" on the moon was just a chance picture of a dust plume from a meteor strike?
Put the intro at the end and have it fade out. You gotta have it somewhere. It's too iconic!
In a given watching session, the most disruptive part of the experience isn't intros or sponsors, but UA-cam itself. Specifically: what they do to my fav creators, even tasteful and professional channels like this one. Such an ongoing hassle
Then get premium ya dunce, it's so worth it.
Always loved the intro, never skipped any part of your videos, but it's understandable, even though there's a lot who also adore it, the algorithm does matter, and if it's to help the channel. 😊
What did he say about it? Exactly why he can’t use it no more.
He said the algorithm loves the intro so much it’s decided to claim it for itself and will strike his channel unless he hands it over
Or you could just read the pinned comment up top.
@@MrPaytonw34
The intro is iconic as your work, dude! Leave it in, imo! Love your work!
Curious...why not get the James Web telescope to fix on Tabi's Star for say...50 hours or so. You would think that doing that could reveal some very interesting images.
they prob already have and us public have not been told or shown
Maybe interesting but there is no Dyson sphere.
The only place a Dyson sphere exists is in the imagination.
No civilization,anywhere in the cosmos has built any sort of structure surrounding a star.
There are those who say it has happened and those who say it hasn't.
Which is more likely? lol
Dark 5. Thanks for the outstanding video.
I absolutely concur. Same thing with "photographic evidence " of ghosts. Show me something hi res that doesn't look like it was taken on 110 film from 1985.
I’m early!! Live your videos man I’ve been watching for years
This was a really great video, it made me feel like I was watching Dark 5's for the first time all over again! Bravo
I don't believe we didn't go to the moon. But I will concede that NASA losing the original footage bc they were out of tape doesn't pass the smell test.
Great new vid! ❤️
I just love your videos because they get to the point, are factual, and are not exuberant or annoying. Thank you. You should get a youtube award for not being annoying.
Lol your comment is so bot like
Who would skip the intro it's iconic and like 5 seconds lol
Thank you for making a video on this, it & other formations are constantly being ignored.
I never comment, but the intro was the best. Please bring it back.
Awesome topic man!!!!! Love it
As always great video, narration voice, & choice of content. Please consider bringing the OG intro back. It gives your videos that extra zing to it.
Glad your going in the Space realm, I need more.
Hey Mr Dark5 . Just curious of what happened to the Intro. I loved the opening music. So nostalgic when I start up a new Dark 5 narration. The intro music gets my work mates attention. We all stop what we're doing to hear how it ends. Without that classic it's just mot the same
Keep up the great work! The theme is still very cool, though!
This is the kind of videos I miss from this channel
There's also Przybylski's star. An odd star containing seemingly impossible elements for a star to make such as Uranium, Plutonium and Einsteinium for example.
While they do form naturally, the abundance of them is highly suspicious, as they are only formed in very low amounts, and usually never seen all together like that. That star and KIC 8462852 and stars surrounding it are the best possible technosignatures ive heard about, though its likely that there is some sort of natural explanation. Plenty of natural and rare elements in the universe that we simply haven't discovered yet im sure
They identify those elements at long range using readings from particular light waves. Could be something blocking/interfering with the readings, I'm sure others have pointed this out. Not a scientist obviously but just a thought
But we love the intro! It sets the mood for your outstanding work!
I need the intro back. My kids know what I am watching when they hear it. I loved it.
I love this channel's smooth, simple but elegant style. I admit I miss the old intro, but your voice and audio quality are really splendid so I'm still here no matter what you play as an opener. :)
Always so much love for Dark 5. Old school since day one and much like "The Why Files" literally wait for new videos!! ✊✊✊✊♥️
The Why Files absolutely rocks. 👍
Lizzid people!!! 🐡
Just found The Why Files 😊
Two fantastic channels 😉❤
Why Files is superb.
Lunar Flashes Explained: Piezoelectric Geologic Flashes: Quartz are one of the few minerals with piezoelectric proprieties. When subjected to mechanical stress, these two little rocks generate an electrical charge. Place a rock in each hand, and forcefully rub the rocks together. To see the glowing electrical effect fully, you should do this in a darkened room.
This would suggest extreme tectonic or similar stresses. I’m uneducated as to whether that happens on the moon
Meteorites can hit the surface forcing quarts particles to react with each other
@@MeatHarmonica
To be able to flash that big and that bright, the piezoelectric effect would have to be unbelieveably powerful. You might as well call it swamp gas.
@@davidlopez7209 Swamp gas is a real thing - just not on the moon. But, tectonic stresses on the moon have been well documented; see my comments below.
Shut up, bruh
The purposefull crashing of a satellite into the moon to record seismic activity, actually recorded the moon ringing like a church bell for hours.
Only possible if the moon was hollow.
The video of Neil Armstrong being nudged and spoken to at a press conference.
He then altered the subject.
Yet looked a very frightened man.
Yea, “operation deep impact” was very odd indeed. Why would they do that if they didn’t have a good reason? The results were very odd. May they were trying to destroy a structure???
Ever wonder why the moon is the exact size and distance required to cover the sun? Or how it stabilizes the earths orbit and makes like more possible? Very strange coincidence.. Which I don’t believe happened by chance.
@@mylesgray3470the distance and size mystery is actually very solvable by math. When you account for the different gravitational pulls of both the earth and sun, it makes perfect sense that the moon would form to the exact size it is.
@@mylesgray3470Not in my opinion respectfully. Just like how when you drop marbles in a funnel, how crystals form, snowflakes, it’s just inevitability given the physics of the Universe and the innate functionality of all matter and consciousness to form a purpose. It ringing like a bell is weird though
It would be good to see top 5 earth obrit mysteries. The space stations have reported odd going on's.
Awesome videos 🎯👽👾
Absolutely fantastic 👍
Oh man...a new Dark 5 returning to space again...easily one of his scariest topics.
So the Venyra 7's parachute didn't open, but the atmosphere is so thick the probe crashed at 38 mph? Did I get that right?
Yes
I've always been a fan of your videos and I never do the 'skip thing'. Who does that crime??? who?
You are my original. 👋
Keep up the good work and always be at your best. 👍
I have a old program that is designed to recover previous data that had been deleted and overwritten up to 7 times and it did work. I couldn’t erase/format my files, at the time I was employed by a mortgage company and didn’t want any clients information to be able to be used by thieves. I would try to use a program like this to try to recover those tapes since at that time, 60’s-80’s, nasa reused tapes. Just a thought.
Carl Sagan already had presuppositions in mind when he said that so saying “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence” doesn’t actually mean anything at all.
This has been a mantra and rescuing device for many who don’t believe certain things but also fail to acknowledge their own presuppositions
The intro was iconic. I had neighbors who knew when I was tuning in because they knew the bass line from the intro when it hit my subwoofer.
I love the intro. It lets me know something creepy and interesting is coming.
I 👏 love 👏 this 👏 CHANNEL!! 👏🙌👏🙌
Nice!
SKIP THE INTRO? WHAT 🤯
WHO WOULD DARE?
LOL
Oh well... I'll still watch 😉😜❤
Adore your channel 💖
Been watching for years ❤
I love the content. You are a very good narrator to sir. Hopefully the well is still full of content waiting to get out. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I do enjoy Dark 5. At least it doesn't seem AI driven and it seems to find some unusual stuff.
Life out there ... that's a reach. The claims on life on other planets are great - but people seem to forget that life requires more than just a barren planet. Even the most remote places on Earth that have multicellular life don't exist in isolation. All but the simplest forms of life can "eat" sun only requiring CO2 and water to function. A scorpion (or similar) is WAY further up the food chain...
The immense amount of Galaxies, Stars and Planets out there outweigh the odds of advanced sentient Life existing outside of Earth.
To my mind anyhow...
@@sasquatchhillbilly I get that. It’s part of the famous Drake equation. If I haven’t confused it. But the chance of it being CLOSE enough that’s a much different question. I would go as far to say as it’s almost an impossibility that we’re not alone if we look at all of history since the BB.
This was discussed In Wf.
We've identified 200+ M Class planets not to mention the countless sightings, encounters and unexplained evidence that overwhelmingly proves this to be the case. The universe is no doubt like everything else, abundant with life.
@@burtpanzer sightings of what? This is wild speculation without an ounce of logic.
**Uranus joke**
My dyslexia kicked in, I thought this said "Uranus juice."
Carry on.
I think I still have a vhs copy of Hoagland's original video of the spike and dome structures...
You can't argue the evidence as it was downloaded from NASA and they tried to alter the photos in response...
This is one of the reasons I got an astrophysics degree years later...
Fun not-a-fact. Someone left the lens caps on all Zone 3's cameras! Instead of having one of their friends sent to a gulag, they took very high magnification photos of Krushchev's nose. Those craters you see are actually blackheads. That spire is really one of those annoying fine hairs you can just see at the edge of your vision but never do anything about.
Awesome
I just had a thought today, when I was in school I was never interested in planets,solar system,space and the universe and now that I'm 24 years old, I have a lot of understanding and knowledge of everything...it's weird because I never thought I would have these things in my life or even be interested in them. Life is unexpected
What happened to the Intro? love the Intro!
What I love the intro part!!
I wonder what the Venus lander would look like now?
I’m suddenly sad that I’ll never know.
I’d be up for some good realistically rendered scientific
Images though.
I imagine like one of those old oil cans rusted up and coming apart - unless it hasn't just melted or something...
Probably crushed up and rotted away
Something fun to find for the post reset civilization that will surely get lied to about it's past. 😜
Where’s the intro?
Put the intro as an outro then please dark 🙏🏻 love the content, love the intro (outro), ✊🏻🏴
The variable nature of Tabby's Star along with countless others including our own sun can be explained so very easily with THE most abundant an obvious force in all the cosmos, and explained in such a way that a 5 year old will immediately understand it. The answer is of course that force which controls, shapes, and connects the universe. In star-wars lingo..."it binds the galaxy together", along with most probably everything else in the cosmos . That force.......is Electromagnetism.
Judging by the curvature of the moon's surface in that tower photo - around 11:30mins - that tower is not 3 miles tall but over 300 km ( 240 miles) tall. Something that size would be observable by every moon mission and lunar satellite.
Yeah, it's just an anomaly... move on, nothing to see here 🤫
If the dyson sphere around the star provided enough energy there would be no need for a type 3 4 or 5 civilization harnessing power from the galaxy etc.
Realistically a civilization would destroy themselves before they even reached a type 1
Of all the worlds of the Solar System, Venus is the most disturbing.
There is a NASA site and it has Hidden Mission Apollo over the moon and a lot of pictures. There are many of these towers unfortunately the pictures are unavailable now. When you try to access them it looks like a code and you can't see the pictures. Tall tower with a round object on the top and spiraling around, from the ground to the top, is a thick cable and a building not to far from the tower. The pictures pointed out the tower and building with arrows. I searched and can't seem to find it. Wonder why?
Next they'll found the Cybertron mothership on dark side, right? 😅
Oh yeah 👍😊👍
Thank you Dark Channels for ALL your content. All the best 👍
We have such a bias in our hypotheses of what other alien civilizations might be like. We assume they would evolve in the same manner we do and therefore would mimic our own evolutionary story. Perhaps a type two civilization has no need to generate energy. Perhaps they can harness energy through their power of thought. We can only theorize based on what we know. We know very little.
How about potential Goldilock's zone planets that may contain life?
There countless of them alpha centuri has a few there is moons on Saturn we can terrors quite easily if elon sorts it out lol
Why I got an uneasy feeling like I'll be randomly jumpscared whenever I watch your video
The lost tapes are 3/4" format, VERY first ever helical scan system with four audio/data tracks. Made by Ampex.
We need that intro
humanity will never explain or know the secrets of the universe. nobody on earth is an expert on somewhere theyve never been .
when you see tower look to its left into the mass of light and dark. you see all kinds of structures.
The tower on the Moon could be a soul catcher. That's a fun, entertaining rabit hole to go down...
I thought the lost Apollo 11 tapes were found at the abandoned McDonald's that was being used as a storage warehouse at Cape Canaveral?
Please, give measurements in SI units (metric system).
The old and outdated imperial system is only used by the USA and Liberia.
The metric system is also used by scientists in the USA.
Its also the usual way of expressing distances by Brits and Ozzies etc so stuff your US colonial attitude
no one cares.
Id like to point a spectrometer at that tower thing.
3:25, not nitpicking but you said crashed at 38 mph, which I believe 38 miles per second may be closer to its actual impact speed, nevertheless, Love your channel, your style, your topics AND YOUR INTRO ♥♥♥
The venus probes that landed lasted less than hour before it succumbed to atmospheric pressure if I recall.
I do not believe those tapes were 'lost'.
Wild
Weve done this all before, risen up driven down over and over again for probably millions of years in between glaciations.
There are 96 bags of POO made by human beings on the Moon. See what humans bring to space?
Why would people skip the intro? It's literally 5 seconds long 🤦♂️. I want the intro back please 🙏
Tabby star has a large Saturn type ring planet. The rings are huge in size causing the dimming effect. Just hasn't been officially discovered yet. But it's there
How's about the monolith on Mar's moon, Phobos?
How about exploring theories about Boötes Void?
Pertaining to the lost tapes. It is unlikely that NASA would have erased those recordings to use the media for any archival purpose. The antiquated format would be of no archival use. Any recordings would be preserved on a more robust and future proof format available at the time the archiving was taking place (years after the original recordings were made). They were either accidentally lost, or erased/destroyed on purpose. Having worked with electronically recorded media my whole life, I would guess they were accidentally misplaced or mislabeled. Probably sitting in storage somewhere, or in a landfill.
5:41 also referred to as Transient Lunar Phenomenon
That Russian moon tortoise style robot is adorable . it must be very lonely but some lucky scientist will one day discover it & tickle its shiny back ❤️
there is a monolith on a moon orbiting mars or its an asteroid google it buzz aldrin speaks on it if you could cover that it would be cool great work dark five as usual!
Please bring back your music into! It was fantastic.
Do a mystery video of Uranus
At 11:00 notice the reference to 9/23/17. There was an interesting astronomical alignment that involved the moon on that date.
Bring it back....... Please 😢
ALL OF THEM!
