Designed for a lifespan of 90 sols (93 Earth days), Zhurong was active for 347 sols (356.5 days) after its deployment on Mars's surface. The rover became inactive on 20 May 2022 due to approaching sandstorms and Martian winter, pending its self-awakening with appropriate temperature and sunlight conditions.

Mars is not a bad kid he is just lonely

[@beckenbaylin3167]

Yeah, not the dust storm from the Martian that destroyed the martian base, but certainly a factor in our future colonization missions. I never expected mars to have such a complex atmospheric system of winds, heat and dust, especially with how thin the air is. Thanks for another banger Astrum!

[@bigsarge2085]

Truly fascinating! If you live on Mars, this brings a whole new meaning to "overcast weather."

[@ConradPino]

Thank you for the considerate sponsor message placement. I'm happy to watch all the way to the end in gratitude for the uninterrupted content.

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids, In fact it's cold as hell.

The other major hazard with these dust storms is, well as Anakin would put it, "It's coarse, rough and it gets in everywhere." Much like lunar dust, the extremely fine-grain jagged electrostatic nature of the particles means that any materials we bring to and build there, from habitats to electronics to space suits will very quickly become saturated with the stuff, leading to abrasion and possibly short-outs of essential equipment. The fabric of space suits could also over time wear thin enough to rupture, which would not be great for astronauts. To top it all off, it's full of toxic perchlorates, and is EXTREMELY difficult to clean off of any surface. The dust on the moon already poses challenges for future missions. Just imagine that but whipping around the whole planet at storm-force speeds, saturating the entire atmosphere for months.

people seem to think that earth is the only planet with super complex mechanisms in it. i mean we have people dedicating their entire life to studying weather, geology, volcanology, tectonic plates, and we see other planets as just “The desert one” or “the cold one” or “the hot one”. it’s cool to see that earth isn’t the only one with super complex mechanisms that need to be explored more

[@jake5952]

Isn't it fascinating that planets (all large space objects really) experience such strange but consistent patterns on these massive scales? Could such a pattern or season like behavior have been a catalyst for life?

[@danielandrassy407]

Thanks for the video brother Alex

Jupiter is my favorite. It's sheer size and power amazes me. One of my favorite things that happened to Jupiter was when Shoemsker Levvy 9 hit it in '94 and the planet basically said "COME ON MAN!! THAT'S TOO EASY!!!" while that same comet probably would've sent Earth to the backrooms.

I appreciate you single handedly battling my bipolar and getting me to sleep every night, I've learned so much and my sleep is finally decently stable. You're pretty cool

[@mikeottersole]

If you're a scifi fan you might enjoy Kim Stanley Robinson's trilogy Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars about the terraforming of the red planet. Lots of detail and a good read.

It has only been a decade or so since NASA has admitted to re-coloring nearly every single photo from Mars. Only recently have they stopped (for the most part) with the "true" color images from Mars. This began with the very first images from the Viking lander. As the first color image was displayed on the monitors within 10 to 15 minutes the head of NASA instructed a technician to adjust all of the monitors in the room to make the images more red. This practice has gone on ever since.

I think I remember that the Mars atmosphere appears like it is fast-switching between two atmospheric systems, where the temperatures and pressures are vastly different. The global Mars duststorms are unstable under the current combination of gas pressures and radiation from the Sun, but it might have been a stable state in the past.

[@user-dt3rj8qm3k]

Your videos are so captivating. Jupiter Eye Storm.

[@setituptoblowitup]

Jupiter as a child, Earth now Mars bars sounds like the coolest way to find a finishline🏁🏁🍻😎

[@mikehajdu6154]

Love your narration and love of knowledge Alex.

[@brettcherry3481]

Thank you for displaying what footage we are seeing.

So basically Arrakhis
