  • Everything you could want to know about the 7th planet from the Sun: Uranus. Includes real images taken from Voyager 2 in 1986, and from the Hubble Space Telescope.
    This video has been a long time coming, and I'm sorry it's taken a year for this episode in the series. I have been dreading making this video, as I knew there wasn't a lot of real imagery of the planet and I wondered how I was going to show what I was explaining. Thankfully, using Space Engine and Universe Sandbox2 has been incredibly helpful, although as a result I probably put the most hours into this video than any other I have made so far. I'm really happy with how it turned out though and I hope you did too.
    We discuss the orbit, physical characteristics, atmosphere and magnetosphere and a lot more. Have any questions? Post in the comments. If you did find this video interesting, please share it as it will help me be able to make more of these in the future.

    Sadly, the future of jokes about Uranus may be a long one considering the relatively gentle atmosphere makes it arguably the best candidate for atmospheric mining of Helium-3.

    It's flippin incredible to me that literally every single planet in our solar system, the only solar system that contains life as we know it so far, is unique in their own way. I mean, if one contemplates the random nature of planetary formation, one might assume that the vast majority of planets should be fairly similar and "boring", bland dusty desolate rocks.
    But each and every single planet we have is utterly unique, even pluto and mercury with recent findings about their own oddities.
    That tied in with the fact that our Moon is the only moon in the solar system that is the exact right size and distance from its planet to cause a perfect solar eclipse that reveals the corona, a perfect solar eclipse which ONLY occurs in the solar system as seen from Earth (if you stand on mars, phobos wont produce such an eclipse, nor will any other moon seen from the surface of their parent planet).
    Contemplate that this perfect ratio ONLY occurs on the ONLY planet in the solar system with intelligent life on it.
    Also contemplate that during the earlier time of Earth, such as during the dinosaur ages, the moon was closer to Earth and as such would have blocked out the corona as well.
    This perfect ratio eclipse not only occurs around the ONLY planet with macroscopic life on it, it also ONLY occurs on this precise time when there are technologically advanced sentient beings here to witness it.
    I'm not saying it's by design, i'm merely saying, our solar system is absolutely astronomically impossibly unlikely in its perfection and layout at this precise time when we are here to observe it. If we evolved 200 million years later, the Moon wouldnt create a perfect eclipse anymore. Food for thought. Perhaps such celestial phenomena act as a catalyst, a spark, for creative self-awareness. If that were to be the case, one can only imagine the effect of a solar system embedded within a vast nebula as opposed to the dark skies of Sol.

    • @Abc-tx4zr
      @Abc-tx4zr 5 років тому +6

      I mean, you pulled one significant fact about the moon and it's eclipses. It doesn't mean it's significant in any sense just that it stands out to you as something not necessary for our observation of earths survival. I agree that it's interesting, and holds resonance with our sense of self but as far as the planets go, it actually doesn't ring true to me that each planet is perfectly distinct from one another most all have obscure molecules and lakes of methane, ethane, propane, nitrogen etc...and inhospitable terrain. I think there's something to be said about consciousness and it's discovery of itself on a habitable planet. That I agree with you, but I also argue that our brains are prone to fallacy constantly lol but the planets...I question any significance. I pretty much share your opinion though.

    • @hemipemi
      @hemipemi 5 років тому +2

      Perfectly reasonable hypothesis, that the eclipse phenomena could have been the catalyst for consciousness. Major events which happen with predictable frequency are things which life, even in it's simplest forms, tunes itself to out of necessity.
      The day/night cycle is the first and most basic, then after that the four seasons. Almost all life tunes itself to these in some way, so these cycles will be hard coded into almost every living being's DNA (and, with particularly advanced organisms like animals/birds who hibernate, migrate, and otherwise have advanced routines for adoption of varying behaviour patterns in accordance with those predictable cycles, that coding will also be advanced), so it would be absurd to suggest that major anomalies those cycles like perfectly aligned eclipses would not be picked up on.
      That could be interpreted by the evolving organism, as being symbolic. Symbolic of...something, but what exactly, it doesn't matter, just that first piece of cognitive attention being afforded to the idea that *anything* could be symbolic of *anything* which extends beyond the understanding which can be extrapolated through rational interpretation of the animal's surroundings and experiences.
      Natural phenomena like rains, floods, lightning and so forth are far too chaotic and unpredictable to be interpreted as being symbolic of anything to a pre-conscious animal mind, but the eclipses, being regular and predictable and linked directly to those systems on which all life depends and understands at the DNA level, could have been the first exception to that rule.

      @@hemipemi I dont think hes saying eclipses were the reason for consciousness just that its intetesting that we exist to observe it lol. The universe is 13.7 billion light years across. That distance isn't even imaginable. Somewhere in this universe alone is a planet almost exactly like ours, undoubtedly with a moon and a sun providing light for potential organisms. We can't believe it because our brains are prone fallacy. 2000 years ago when humans were killing people because we thought they were witches we were observing eclipses. Further back, Mayans were sacrificing other humans, because they thought eclipses were punishment. I'm just saying. And technology has only made it worse. You didn't even include planet alignment. The fact of the matter is that humans look for meaning, and they find it, but I digress. Better to have loved than to have lost.

      I don't care much if that's what they were saying, but that's definitely what I'm saying.
      You're talking about the dawning of consciousness. Assuming you hold that to be an event which humans have experienced but no other animal has (a reasonable assumption), then it stands to reason that there was, at some stage in time, a trigger for that.
      Until that point you only have behaviour patterns. Behaviour patterns don't necessarily have any meaning to those who follow them, they're just learnt - monkey see monkey do.
      I believe that it also stands to reason that the trigger for the dawning of consciousness will have had to be something symbolic *and* predictable. Something which triggered a memory, a memory which could be communicated somehow and proven, perhaps similarly to the way elephants remember the location of, and return to burial grounds of their family elders.
      It's not inconceivable that a consciousness of these symbolic moon events developed in early human ancestors, who followed the cycles of the sun and the moon unconsciously in the way that many other animals do, especially if the patterns appeared to be growing gradually stronger across time, and appeared to be reaching a point of alignment, where the sun and moon appeared of equal size in the sky.
      It seems more likely to me that this - or at least that there could be a grain of truth to what I'm suggesting - a causation behind the correlation between the Sun and the Moon aligning in the sky (in size, as best observed during an eclipse but as can be noted on any normal day) would be the case, than for it to be a startling coincidence that they just happened to be aligned in such a way at the same time as conscious life developed on Earth - the latter seems to favour intelligent design/creationist logic.

      The easiest and most logical solution would just be *pronouncing it correctly* ...but that already tells me that there is no solution in the first place. It wouldn't be half as sad if not more than half the top comments are lame jokes that you've already read/heard 50 times at least
      I guess it's your ancestors fault for mashing a few languages together without thinking of actual rules...most your vowels aren't even vowels per definition (they have multiple ways of pronouncing them(every vowel), often consist of more than one sound(A, I, O) and "U" is the worst since it even has a consonant in it's primary pronounciation). If your "U" had the [u] sound instead of [ju] (and no other possibilities) and your "a" the [a] instead of [ei] then the pronounciation would be either uniquely different or would be written "Yuranus"
      That's what written languages (or at least almost everyone except english) are supposed to be there for...to be able to write out what's spoken in a way so that someone else can read it and know how it's spoken from just reading it...
      Btw. that's also why you have such a hard time learning other languages and vice versa...for other languages you mostly just have to learn vocabularies after knowing the rules to master the language, with english you literally have to speak it for years to most likely never really master it since the "rules" don't involve the million special cases
      Just realize I may come across as salty or something...I'm not, I wasn't necessarily ranting but just pouring out my thoughts

      @AlesPickar 8 років тому +36

      This whole trifle is non-existent outside of the English language, since the other languages don´t pronounce "U" as "you". So the phonetic of Ouranos is indeed closer to a rather universal pronounciation of a greek word.
      And for example in Czech language, the planet is called "Uran" (pronounced "Oo - Ran"), which kind of makes sense, because it is not necessary to keep the latin endings like "-us", since they often express adjectives and adverbs. We also don´t say "Mercurius" or "Saturnus".

    The orbits of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were first discovered using Bode's law. A simple geometric progression based on the mass of the sun.
    It has since been 'discredited' because modern astronomers failed to take into account the fact that other stars have different masses. They then used this to determine that Pluto wasn't a planet.
