This doesn't resonate with everyone, but I hope it will with the intended audience. Seeing Saturn with my own eye through a telescope was one of those moments that stays with you, clear and vivid for a lifetime. If you haven't yet done so, I strongly urge you to do it.
Seeing anything through an analogue telescope is an 'Oh wow!' experience for most people. 🙂
I was taking in this video while reminiscing about seeing Saturn through my cousin’s telescope 40 years ago. I can still feel the awe and excitement that came over me! Well said.
@@mattwarbuckle "It's really there!!" 🙂
I've seen it too- it wasn't a very high quality telescope, so we could only see it as a white silhouette. Still, you could clearly make out the ring around it. It really does make these faraway space objects seem so real, like suddenly you're seeing them with your own eyes rather than just in a picture.
YES! I’ll never forget that moment either - it still gives me a thrill.
My favourite fun fact about Saturn is that it was owned by the Japanese company Sega in the 90’s
And Venus was owned by Bananarama in the 80's
Yeah but who owns Uranus? 😂
@@therealjohngalaxy The Klingons.
@@therealjohngalaxySome questions are better left unanswered.
@@therealjohngalaxy the sowjet union, so everybody has owned uranus.
Knowing that such beautiful rings only last a short while, I've always wondered if Jupiter ever sported an even more impressive set
I was thinking the exact thought 😊 we may have missed a wonder of our solar system
considering that planets form out of a disc of dust I would say that every planet had a ring for some time - even Earth in it's early millions ;)
Last a short while to who or what ? Our life times or geological or cosmic ?
A source while meaning 100s of millions of years
Uranus has rings as does neptune..Also many recently discovered planets in other solar systems
Cassini was an enormously popular mission for all of the engineers working at NASA/JPL Caltech. It was the last mission in which my dad was part of the team.

years ago a planetary EM model I was working on produced a hexagon at the rotation poles. I thought this was unusual so I checked the internet for information pertaining to planetary hexagons. All I could find was a Voyager photo of the North pole of Saturn showing an indistinct hexagonal shape. I was excited by this discovery and I soon learned that the Cassini mission to saturn had just passed Jupiter and would reach Saturn in early 2004. When Cassini arrived at Saturn, the north pole was in constant shade due to the planets tilt and so the first imaging to show the hexagon was in infrared. I was elated to see such a clear image of the hexagon.
As the years passsed and the north pole came into sunshine, there were a large number of images taken in visible wavelengths, showing a true wonder of our solar system. I recently checked images of Jupiters poles and found that with the timelapse video imaging it is also possible to make out a hexagon on Jupiter, although not as spectacular as that of Saturn.
Great comment! Just FYI, every planet has a hexagon. It's just smoothed out by the difference between the planet's magnetic center and its rotational axis. Saturn is near perfect.
I love that you make it sound so poetic. It's wrong to say that science and art does not go hand in hand, because our urge to seek beauty is almost as strong as our urge to seek knowledge, and I think its a good way to keep fueling people's curiosity. If school had made science so beautiful, I bet we would have so many more scientists to this day.

I like the idea that Saturn’s metallic core is far more dense than its outer layer hydrogen (in a non-ideal liquid state), causing it to drift in circles somewhat irregularly as it’s effectively floating around in less dense material. A bit like Pluto if it was submerged in its moon, and the elliptical shape of Saturn being a result of this.
Saturns not like Pluto
@@joestitz239that’s not what they said at all
It's good Saturn has all that metal. Seeing as how they make all those cars there.
if pluto was submerged in its moon? that sounds fascinating.. what do you mean?
@@StayFractalesque I think he means. If Pluto was one of its own moon. And it was inside of the planet. Makes sense.
The visuals that you include in every video are really next level. I could 100% see this on a mainstream cable channel as a series, it's that good. Your voice is perfect for narrating this topic and I know every single time when you release a video it will be wonderful to watch. Great job building this channel and your resume, because I think you have huge things in store if you seek them out!
He is off the charts. Those visuals are fire. I’d love to have one.
Most of the images are taken from public-domain sources, primarily the websites of NASA and similar agencies. Few, if any, of the visuals on this channel are original.
@@Involent Well, yeah I know and I’ve seen many of them before in my own browsing. He just puts them together very fluidly and professionally along with his narration is the point I’m making
I think the pacing is much better than most cable series. Cable shows are so constrained by predetermined episode length that they make a habit of slow, boring pacing. Astrum doesn't waste time or skip over small but interesting details. If confined to a 22 minute format these episodes would be much less enjoyable. Occasionally one ends up about 22 minutes, but not having commercial breaks to consider Astrum can weave a 22 minute yarn without distracting you with thoughts of laundry detergent and automotive fantasies.
@@emptyshirt very true
Alex.
I really feel that i need to thank you.
In late 2019, at the age of 38, out of nowhere, i got the first ever panic attack of my life.
This was the start of the worst 2 years of my life.
It threw me into a deep depression, mared by frequent panic attacks and visits to various psychologists and other medical institutions.
I was not able to work, interact socialy with anyone outside of my family, and at its worst, not even able to leave my home.
Few things at this time could give me any comfort whatsoever.
But you, through your chanel could.
Everytime i fell really deep in darkness.
Astrum was what i turned to in order to calm myself.
Your interesting content, the way you present it.
And your voice, calm, yet clearly passionate and excited about what you are talking of.
Was nothing short of a life saver for me.
Thank you!
That’s awesome!
The tale of Cassini's mission, it's findings and of it's end is one of the most fascinating ones of all of humanity's missions to other worlds.
Two apostrophes right, two wrong. A score draw ?
@@AWLor0 really? which ones are wrong? they all appear possessive pronouns to me..

@@AS-fu1kd indeed.
They dont call it Saturn (Satan) by accident
@annother3350 Saturn and Satan have nothing to do with each other, mythologically speaking.
I remember when Cassini launched, and I was joking about it finding a mysterious artifact among the moons there. (Based on an old sci fi novel by John Varley)
But of course, reality is MUCH, much weirder than any science fiction! And how wonderfully weird Saturn is!
Excellent! I was wondering if someone would mention Varley’s series.
The Titan series!
@@GypsySun-mi7wi Woo! Someone else who knows! It was a great story, though it maybe hasn't aged too well, heh
@@Beryllahawk
I read the whole series and then every other book of his I could find and he is still my fave author.
Did he pass away, or just stopped writing?
@@GypsySun-mi7wi He's still around! Put out a novel in 2018, in fact, "Irontown Blues," part of a different series.
I've always thought that Saturn was the most fascinating planet of our solar system, aside from Earth of course. The Cassini mission has been amazing, providing answers, clues and many questions to test our scientific theories. These missions help Astonomy, one of few sciences that look outwards at a level that can amaze and give hope for all. It's only going to get more wonderous as we continue to send probes across our solor system.
Yeah. Yet given enough time-which sucks Pluto will get bigger too ! Need an orbiter craft there..
Saturn is cool, but Jupiter is a failed sun and has many more substantially interesting moons, some which may actually harbor primitive life forms.
Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune defy reality in my mind. The unimaginable states of matter blow my mind
Have you thought that perhaps the Holy Bible will shed light in many universe unsolved mysteries? Since as of today we are unable to create from nothing a single blade of grass, let alone a whole ecological system as on Earth. According to our known knowledge, could it be that God the creator with infinite power over us and the whole universe after all exists, and he is very much involved in our destiny, opening up some of his Mysteries to us but keep some others out of our grasp.
If what we think is “impossible” but still observing it to be so, then we need to change our understanding… including theories that may have outlived their usefulness. The James Webb telescope revealed information that brought the Big Bang under review. All theories should be reviewed as our knowledge grows.
9:20 hydrogen compressed so densly it becomes diamond? Last time I checked diamonds where pure carbon...
Or crystals. Who knows, hydrogen diamonds could be possible, ain't no way we can recreate those conditions on Earth to actually make it
@@aq_ua no it literally is impossible. hydrogen crystals are almost impossible themselves, but diamonds are carbon. we can easily create artificial diamonds on earth but to make them (starting) from hydrogen you need a supernova
It is not impossible for hydrogen to form crystals under some circumstances and high pressure, we just don't know how yet. Maybe a poor choice of words ?
@@milo6046 i said almost impossible
@@c.ladimore1237 I wasn't answering to you in particular
Cassini was a probe that i loved, i basically grew up following the news lol
The people who chose Saturn's name were spot-on.
It really has a ring to it.
It sounds like my every second of my life called tinnitus. I wonder if I was adopted by an earthlian.
Chronos, God of Time
@9:28, Hydrogen compressed to diamond?! I thought diamonds are carbon-based. What am I missing?
Hydrogen is theorized to have a crystal structure at high pressure. Diamond cubic could be one of those structures
Crystalization = diamonds. Maybe they have done this every elements on the periodic table known to us and they will able to just know the pressurization point of hydrogen. 😅 to actually formulate this. Carbon is nothing 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I believe diamonds from hydrogen will be much more valuable. 😆😄
You are absolutely correct, the presenter made a mistake on this one. Compressed hydrogen does not become diamond, compressed carbon does. He maybe got it mixed up with hydrocarbons, which can be compressed into diamond, shedding its hydrogen atoms. Alternatively, he refers to solid crystalline metallic hydrogen. But that is not diamond.
You really make such great videos, man.
This channel has helped me so much to learn more about all that I never could have imagined understanding. But also just being able to relax and get to sleep at night. So thank you Astrum ❤️ never stop what you're doing.
Bro dropped the best Saturn video essay,
And thought we wouldn't notice. Liked.
All of this is easily explainable: Saturn is about to hatch.
I believe the consensus is that the rings of Saturn are moons that wandered too close and the tidal stresses shredded the moon(s). Saturn also has the most known moons, upwards of 125. Yes, even more than Jupiter, the behemoth gas giant in our system.
One moon of Saturn has liquid water eruptions that reach very high.
Saturn has 145+ moons now as they discovered 62 new ones in may
It's always freakin' amazed me how if there's enough of them the rings around a planet look precisely like a vinyl record. 😳🤯😊 0:21
Hard to believe, sometimes, that this is all real meaning it's something we can see/touch; just waiting on technology to catch up with our minds. 🌟🌠🚀🛸
We should built a space grammophon and try to play its rings!
This was such a journey… I can’t get enough of your otherworldly works
Cassini crashes into Saturn. Some giant guy yells. Owe my eye!!!! Who threw that?
One day, we get a fine for littering😏
Love this channel, it's definitely my space go to source!
I too am grateful to live in such a time as this. It is the beginning of a new age of exploration that could lead to the stars.
I didn't know of this latest trip to Saturn. Your amazing walk through of the data and the trip, was interesting. Well laid out and presented. Bravo Sir!
Does the concept of a "day" make sense for a planet like Saturn though?
Mostly a big ball of gas with different layers moving at different speeds... To whom would this "gravitational day" be useful?
We do enjoy trying to force the entire universe to conform to our standards! It helps to keep up the pretence of 'sapience'..
So interesting. I saw Saturn and it’s rings through a very high powered telescope in the Egyptian Desert. A wonderful experience.
Another great video from Astrum! I was working on the dishes at Canberra's Deep Space Communications Centre(?) when Cassini/Huygens entered it's orbit, the other guys on our mechanical crew had no idea of the significance sadly. My interest came from BBC's planets interview discussing the planning of this mission and the Europa mission...
Is that the old 'The Planets' or the new one with Brian Cox as the narrator?
Your channel is so awesome it gives me vertigo... I feel like I could fall off my chair and float into space while watching. Also your narration is flawless. XOXO
I find Saturn terrifying for some reason
Sandworms.

Wait until you hear the sound it makes
The sacrifice of Cassini by Neil De Grasse Tyson (Cosmos show) mad me more interested in the mission itself. The lord of the rings has so many secrets we need to uncover.
Seems like the more advanced we become in knowledge and technology, the worse we get with with morals and truths. Maybe we should forget space and fix our own failing societies or by the time we do discover any secrets all the scientists will be too busy cataloging 10 billion genders to notice.
Thank you so much for this high quality content, always!
I was going to suggest sending a probe full of food colouring to check the rotation but yeah the magnetic field idea is ok. I guess
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Titan's current environment very similar to Earth's environment some 2 billion years ago or so before the lifeforms in the oceans started producing oxygen as a waste product? If so, it's no wonder interest in that moon has seriously spiked in the last decade or so.
no thats gay
Not particularly. Titan has cryogenic temperatures and its crust is made of water ice, also its atmosphere is much thicker than it ever was on Earth. Not to mention the low gravity. But in terms of it having a methane cycle (analogous to the water cycle on Earth), lakes and rivers, it is pretty similar to early Earth. More similar than anything in the solar system at least.
Where did you think they filmed avatar???
No, nothing even close. Number one element on Earth is Oxygen, mostly in the crust as oxides because its so aggressively reactive and is not just in the atmosphere. Also don't forget the mantle is half silicates as well and then there is carbonate/calcite with Oxygen in their makeup, think Limestone. The so called reducing atmosphere of the Miller-Urey experiment that produced some racemic non-chiral amino acids in low amounts never existed on Earth. Oxygen has always been here coming in from silicon oxide in the form of chondrites and achondrites meteoroids, not to mention H2O thus preventing a reducing atmosphere. Geophysicists have determined that much of the Solar System's planets were all obviously made from the same elements, but temperature and position from the Sun was what had a lot to do in a planet's composition and formation. Earth was perfectly placed for Life to be engineered here.
No purple, more radiation. So no.
@1:45 I've seen these pictures so many times, but they still strike me with awe.
Thanks Alex, that was great. Like most people I love Saturn and the Cassini mission. 🙂
'hydrogen compressed so densely that it becomes DIAMOND'..? So diamond is not a crytsal of Carbon..?
Saturn is visible from India from 3am to 5am our time. GMT+5:30. And also since it summers in India venus is visible almost every night. 😊
Great video. Loved the animations. This will definitely help me sleep tonight.
The Roman festival of Saturnalia was all about turning social convention upside down. Love that our study of the planet is doing the same with scientific understanding.
Thank you for your work.
When we talk about 'winds' and their speed it maybe helps to consider the atmospheric pressure as well. 1700 kph winds sounds devastatingly fast, but if there are few enough molecules per cubic metre, it may not be enough to even knock me over. Not something I'd like to try.
Or if the surface speed is 1750khr the wind would be 50khr
If we ignore the earths rotation speed and just look at wind speed, we would get roughly 1600khr wind speed.
Great video! Thanks Astrum!
The hexagonal storm on Saturn's north pole has a corollary here on Earth. The eyewall of some hurricanes is not round. Some much more pronounced than others. The eyewall of an Earth hurricane is often pentagonal. Look for sat photos, look downs,, and near the time of an eyewall replacement cycle.
Might the remaining mysteries be caused if Saturn's core was not spherical but instead tends a bit towards the ogival, tapering to the north and south poles?
I always thought Saturn was overrated. It had rings, Enceladus and Titan, and a few minor subtleties. You have made it more interesting to me than a nondescript brown ovoid, only rated for its bling. Most of the interesting processes are happening deep down, far out of sight.
Extra points for using the word ogival... 📖 🔍 and for describing Saturn's moons as bling... 💍 😄
Sounds like you've never seen Saturn through a telescope
@@TehPwnerer Actually, I saw Saturn (and the Moon) at the Sydney Observatory some obscene number of years ago. Yes, it was awesome.

@@AlmostEthical So let me guess, you got married in that time? 😁
@@blucat4 Don't geddit. Is it to do with rings?
Next we're going to find out that the Great Red Spot is actually caused by a captured moon orbiting under Jupiter's cloudtops. Being ripped apart by jetstreams tainting Jupe's equatorial bands red.
I echo @kalen about your splendid visuals, and express once more my great admiration for your splendid voice and manner of speaking.
I do a bit of woodworking. I’ve seen that same hexagon pattern before when drilling a counter-sink hole to make room for a screw head below the surface of a panel.
It happens when you spin the drill too fast and the counter sink bit skips and bounces on the surface of the panel because you aren’t holding the bit with enough force to the panel.
It’s a pretty cool thing to see. I assume it has to do with the geometry of the bit and the speed of the rotation finding a kind of resonance, but someone would have to work out the math and physics.
This is just more of a reason why no matter how much we believe our science may be correct, it never is. There will always be something to prove us wrong
Sshhhh! Some egos don't like to be questioned.
It may also jeopardize someone's research grant money!
"No matter how much we believe our science may be correct, it never is."
Righto.
Our science is never correct. 😐

What if the axis of rotation of the planet is tilted but the winds on the surface of the planet aligned with the magnetic field? Do they know the actual orientation of the planet's rotation or are they basing themselves on the orientation of the winds? Maybe the magnetic field is having an effect on the gas, forcing it to rotate in the same direction as the magnetic field instead of the planet's rotation.

BIG FOOD FOR THOUGHT
thank you Astrum For always tickling my brain cells with your videos
I normally don't like your videos but honestly I think they are improving. You sound more humble and explain things with simpler words and that helps a lot. Before your videos where too technical for me at least.
if you don't know the difference between "were" and "where", it may not be the videos that need improving. I'm also not really sure you understand the meaning of "humble", or maybe you have a interesting perspective; that if a video is more accessible and less technical it is automatically better. There is plenty of room for very learned, technical videos on UA-cam. PBS Spacetime is often far beyond my understanding, but why would that not be okay?
@squirlmy
I hope you've calmed down a little...
Where can I find the pics you use for the thumbnails??
Can I correct one thing. It would not be hydrogen that is compressed and rains deeper but it would be liquid helium as helium is denser than liquid hydrogen. So it would be the in-falling helium droplets against the liquid hydrogen that causes the frictional Heating. I would love to see how two different density superfluids interact.
That is the beauty of science. You look for answers and get new questions in addition. That's how projects never end.
Perhaps a stupid question, but could it be possible that the axis of rotation of the atmosphere is not aligned with axis the core and is instead aligned with the magnetic field?
I've no idea how this could happen, just the first thought that came to me.
considering the wind speeds of the clouds and that they move at some points in opposing directions there should be gigantic electric potentials. That thought is not that far off I'd say.
our whole solar system is pretty much very rare and strange so i think thats not that bad
You do make great videos - no doubts about it.

Is there not some Moons that are tidelly locked on Saturn? Wouldn't this tell the speed of rotation?
I'm trying to figure you what you meant by this. I can't think of how a tidally locked satellite relates to the rotational speed of it's planet. At first I thought maybe you were implying a connection between synchronous orbits and tidal locking, but we'd need to already know the planetary rotation to know if the orbit was synchronous to begin with... so I'm not sure if you are on to something or not.

The hexagonals at the poles are caused by Birkland Currents (electrical) which is confirmed by the fact that the rings move in alternate clockwise and anticlockwise directions.
The hexagon on the top is a nut so you can take the top off and remove the rings for cleaning.
Hey, someone got the correct answer. Nice.
And the magnetic field of a given planet works the same as a simple magnet motor. Energy through the top, spin following the right hand rule, alternating each field line.
@@krikeydial3430 By "correct answer" I was referring to this, not that nonsense from stephenorton.
Thank you for this wonderful presentation. Cassini was brilliant. I shed a few tears watching live as Cassini dived & died in Saturn's atmosphere.
When they say 1800kph winds does that mean relative to a still point in space? Earth rotates at approx 1600kph - does that mean that the perceived "wind" would be 1600kph, even on a still day? Just curious really.
What did Saturn say to Jupiter?
I can see Uranus.
We'll gonna miss Cassini
Use a favorite online cassini photo. Blow into poster, frame it :)
As with Jupiter's, the eyes of Saturn's storms emit Infra-red light: the storms' surfaces are somewhere between sun spots (which eject shorter wavelengths : X & Gamma rays) and plumes in Earth's Mantle (visible red when erupting). The working model holds true (E=MC2): a model expecting to find "Clouds" under our crust was bound to break.
I am hugely disappointed that they called the mission to Titan Dragonfly instead of Firefly!

Planetary magnetic fields are something that intuitively we think we SHOULD have a handle on, but clearly we don't.

Excellent video as always, the universe is such an awesome place, how can people not be awed by it? I love looking up at the stars, gives you a sense of perspective.
Beings on Saturn have been watching Earth since its formation.
It’s atmosphere was created to be illusive and its surface is inhospitable to earthing, which is why it was chosen.
We are being watched.
We can’t outmatch them.
It is infinitely more likely that Saturn is conscious, and planets can be alive, than there is alien life on the planet.
Cassini's "Shocking" Data? 🤔
I haven't seen any 😌
A few mysteries does not equal "shocking".
Hydrogen cannot become diamond...lol. Carbon can become diamond.
He probably meant that the high pressure from the hydrogen gas in the atmosphere turns carbon compounds into diamond lattices.
could it not be understood that under extreme pressure hydrogen get arranged in cristallic shapes? I would not know how, but nevertheless, is the a solid state of hydrogen or is a liquid state the ultimate.
To be fair we don't know that yet lol
Best compressed hydrogen can be is liquid metal but no diamond 💎
Thats the beauty of exploring planets we may not be able to make any contact with "alien life" but or see any habitable planets in the present form however we are able to see science that was restricted on earth. Like on earth hydrogen is only present naturally in a gas form. But thanks to Saturn we were able to uderstand and grow that it can be in liquid form too! Further it can also prove in near time.that under right pressure hydrogen can even turn into some coloured diamonds. (Who knows).
James Clerk Maxwell's demonstration that Saturn's rings must consist of particles was the first example of his physical & mathematical prowess.
I'd bet he could explain the hexagonal pattern.
I love your voice and accent, I don’t know why but it’s so relaxing
Saturn is an electric system!!!! Does the narrator not know the whole universe including ourselves and every living being is in an electrical system.
:O
helo
Saturn's magnetic field seemingly violates Cowling's Theorem. Fascinating! But the theorem states axisymmetric magnetic fields cannot be maintained by axisymmetric fluid motions. Asymmetric fluid convection could conceivably generate a nearly axisymmetric magnetic field, but the geometry would be extremely complicated. Certainly more studies are needed. I find this interesting because my doctoral dissertation was on dynamo theory.

Saturn is so iconic that when kids draw planets and stars, the rings of Saturn often feature, although multiple planets with rings might be drawn.
