Earth Has More Than One Moon and They Are Really Weird!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 жов 2023
- When we look across the solar system hundreds of fascinating moons can be observed. Our planet, Earth, contributes just one to the list, the Moon. But is this big bright grey neighbour of ours really the only natural thing orbiting us? Well, it turns out that's not the case. Earth has had many moon-like objects over the years. It seems Earth's second moons are more common than you think. So what are they? Can we see them? and will we get any more?

Enjoy this video? Now find out why scientists think there could be LIFE on Proxima Centauri B, the closest exoplanet to Earth! - ua-cam.com/video/MdCQbzYKmpw/v-deo.htmlsi=An6WfECC5PZ_9rSo
I won't see it, since I just placed you on my Do Not Recommend list.
Well thats mean i love his videos
I thought of them as teenage moons.
You know, they grew up, decided to move out of the house, keep taking long trips around the sun, call once in a very long while and then disappear again for ages...
LOL 🤣
🎵teenage mutant ninja lunars🎵
Thank you for sticking up for my boy Pluto.
What a 🤡
Teenage moonant Minja moons!
I vote for a better definition of the term moon. If Pluto can't be a planet, random asteroids that get stuck in a planet's gravity can't be moons.
Moons and planets have very different definitions and are categorised differently
@@lorenzofurnarello8283yea but they are just labels
We already have a very good definition of "Moon."
Anythign that orbits a planet is called a moon.
I will always still call pluto a planet, I don't gaf if it pisses scientists off. Lol
Love the way the article said newly ‘invented’ moon. 😂
fr that would have been sputnik
you're clearly just jealous that you've never invented a moon
Lol😂 @@idontwantahandlethough
It’s funny to think that our Solar System is basically like a cell compared to the whole universe 😅
I don’t find it funny at all.
It is a very apt comparison
@@pabloaguilar9878and it’s also much smaller than a cell, comparatively. Much, much smaller. Even with all this abundance, we are living in a hell of extreme struggle
more like an atom
if the universe is infinite, it's smaller than that
@@richardpapp1340it’s actually a very poor comparison.
Space is endless. Ancient. Unknowable. TERRIFYING and fascinating, beautiful and ultimately we'll never see the far reaches of it. We are infinitesimal within it. TO think about it is just mind blowing. I love it.
Space is lie
There's always black holes in space.
I'm back! After a short break with my family, I'm back at it, so you can expect many more videos coming your way. Firstly, we will look at Earth's other moons. Yep, it does have more than one! kind of! Hope you enjoy! V
Thank you Rob 🥰
So just who's more important? Us or your family? The answer is us. Get your priorities straight man!
@@terryboyer1342 Take it easy, bro.
Looking Forward To More Videos
Keep It Up
@@terryboyer1342💀
welcome back another great video those early astronomers were definitely onto something when they found the quasi moons even though others couldn't find them easily
@V101SPACE
I'm from Poland, and it was so amazing to see a Polish scientist mentioned in this video. Warms my heart!
Polish scientists revolutionizing astronomy since Kopernik (Copernicus) :D
I took the wooooock to Poland
Great commentaries and amazing visuals. Must be a V101 video. Really enjoyed this one thanks buddy.
That's great you had some time with the family! Good to see a new Post! This was just amazing to see, absolutely excellent graphics. Appreciate your efforts in every vlog! Just amazing! Cheers to continued success,health & happiness!🙂✌🏼💫
always love to see a notification from V101
Interesting Video, Thank You Rob and the awesome crew of V101 Space, Have a safe and happy weekend, V Rocks. 👊😎
Wow so happy to see new upload ❤❤❤
Phenomenal video as always Rob!
Interesting moon fact - the moon at its average distance from earth is only 1% off from being a perfect size to block out the sun during a solar eclipse. If you care to check remember to subtract 1 earth radius from moon earth distance since you are checking from the pov of the observer.
I'm going to tell you a strange but TRUE story.
In high school, we used to watch educational science movies from reel to reel projectors. It's the early 1980's and they are showing these shows from the 1950s to about 1972.
There was one about going into outer space, it was before 1969, maybe as far back as 1958......
Right at the very end, it said there is a second moon orbiting Earth. The only other thing it said was, it's called "Toro".
I've used google to find a reference to it and came up with nothing.
There’s an article in The NY Times about toro from 1971. Google it again. It’s very interesting.
Very impressive
Hey Rob! Glad you've been able to spend more time with your family but equally glad to have you back with more videos on the way.
You left off Cruithne, which although technically an asteroid, it still shares Earth's orbit about the sun. Cruithne is not in what might consider to be a traditional moon orbit, as is The Moon. But it sometimes referred to Earth's second moon because it is in a "horseshoe" orbit around the sun.
Except Cruithne isn't a moon... *AT ALL.*
It does not now, nor has it EVER to our knowledge orbit Terra: it orbits Sol, and any barycenter it has with Earth is completely subservient to its barycenter with the Sun.
So it completely misses the definition of a moon.
@@digitalis2977Nerd
That was my takeaway from this video as well.
Your argument applies to every object mentioned in this video. Cruithne exhibits the same qualities as everything else in this presentation but far more widely known, so logically it is curious that it wasn't mentioned.
I'm glad to see you again🤠stunning video
A second moon?!!! Why , that's lunacy! 😁
Thank you. Hope you and Rolo have a wonderful weekend. 🇺🇸❤🇬🇧
Exactly! People who talk about “a second moon” fail to realize the gravity of their implications. 😜
Ikr lunatics 👽
Earth is the moon
He's small objects that have been discovered going around the earth even temporary or actually pretty fascinating. Something I just had not thought of.
Gotta love these Tiamut, Nibiru and Annunaki stories
i remember Nibiru 😭
Thanks for sharing 👍 ❤❤
Fortunately his diction is much improved, making this video far more pleasant (and interesting).
Nice video❤❤❤
Interesting. Thank you.
The Kolbrin Bible speaks of the earth having 2 moons in the past....
That was cool. I didn’t know there were bodies at L4! Brilliant thinking on the mining idea.
I never knew this, thanks.
I would say with all the asteroids flying past earth regularly odds are pretty good the earth would capture a couple here and there in orbit at some point, just like Mars captured its two asteroid moons
There’s some at L4 and L5
That’s not a moon it’s a space station.
Awesome video V1 like always.
And welcome back.❤
Awesome videos as always say 🌍🌟
Such magnificent content you make. ❤❤❤
Equilibrium is a good term. 8:20 I picture these orbiting objects sort like a shield that protects our planet
Really informative keep up the good work 👍
Hypothesis: Could we place something with enough mass to Coalesce those Ghost moons into their orbit to build a moon?
If we captured and moved an asteroid of sufficient mass into the L4 or L5 positions,I think it's entirely possible.
Unfortunately, it might cause a gravitational shift that would not be beneficial in the long term.
I think... an electron gun creates ions on the surface of the particles and a couple of big loops of wire on either side create magnetic fields to force the dust into collectors.
I think I would just go to the moon for raw materials :)
something with enough mass would be considered a moon itself
In theory yes, BUT those Lagrange Points only work, if the objects we place there are insignificant in mass compared to the stellar objects (in this case: Earth and the moon) that create the Lagrange points in the first place. So if we amass enough stuff in those areas to "build a moon" as you put it, we would essentially destroy the balance of gravity, with yet unknown consequences.
@@dorderre i wonder if that could be ameliorated by having a mass at both L4 and L5?
The sting at every pause are hilarious…
What if a asteroid didn’t hit earth and wiped out the dinosaurs. What if it was a small moon that lost its orbit and crashed into earth at high speeds?
😬
" into earth at high speeds". If a moon hits the planet, the crash would happen on astronomical "low speed". Both planet and moon are in semi-sync over billions of years, and there collision is more like a slow dance until touch, not like a fast and heavy impact.
Your theory needs a third object with high velocity, which hits the moon, and bring it on collision course. And than, the moon isn't needed anymore.
@@aqvamarek5316We'd probably all be long dead before the moon even reaches Earth's atmosphere
If that happened, the entire planet would be destroyed. No life would survive.
@@hocuspocus9713 the moon is actually going away
Thanks!
Fascinating! Who knows what is out there in space. Sometimes the greatest mysteries aren't so much what is far from earth, but what is near or even in the earth(earth, moons orbits, earths core, etc.)
A lot of this comes down to arbitrary definitions, It would be odds of billions to one that something else is not gravitationally bound to the Earth at any given moment. One of the examples given in the video was 10m wide and orbited for a few months. So does a 1cm rock that orbits once count? Where is the line drawn?
The proportionately large size of our moon in relationship to the Earth is going to prevent a lot of objects gaining any long term hold on a stable orbit but over time the current moon will drift away, (it is not permanent as suggested in the video) other objects will come and go, some for days, others for millions of years. Earth could easily have a ring system full of moons at some future time. The solar system is not a still picture, it is a (long) movie.
Ancient texts state there was a time on earth with no moon 🤷
@@leprechaun7667 Which texts are you talking about?
That just does not ring true, maybe they do not mention a moon, but that is not the same as saying that there is not one.
How would they even know what a moon was if there was never one to begin with?
That does not make sense to me.
@@spindoctor6385 Just because it doesn't make sense to doesn't mean it ain't true! Research and you'll see
Thanks! Moonlets are cool!
Earth has more than One Moon, or does it? No it doesn’t! Lovely stuff.
Space Ghost?😁. What cool things jwst has found.
Have you made one on the O'Neill Space Cylinder at a Legrange Point ??
There's a video of a passenger on a plane filming the low orbit moon below the horizon. Looked pretty legit to me. Then I get this video on my feed 😅
astronomy is crazy to think about how what you think is in space around you might not actually be as it seems and you have no way to tell
It’s strange but true astronomical phenomena in our astronomical studies as it’s still mysterious in a fact.
Fascinating stuff!😁👍
Glad to have you back Rob! Another fascinating video, a big thanks to the V101 Space team for continuing to bring us quality content 🌌🌛👏
I have watched one object each night for several years, same place, every night, very bright
Just hope these new moons don’t come crashing down
Gald to see your back. Hope you had a fun time with your family.
You deserved it.
Thank you it was nice to take a break. But I'm glad to be back at it! V
@@V101SPACE can't wait to see what you bring us. I absolutely love this channel. My favorite videos are the ones when we fall into the gas giants.
"That's no moon. It's a space station."
- Me, every single time any new object was mentioned at all in this video
Cool Stuff.
I was wondering what happen to u.. back to my favorite space channel..very interesting if earth had another moon..😅😅
💖💖👌
I took a bit of a break with my family, which was well needed it turned out! But I'm back at it now and can't wait to make more space content :) V
@V101SPACE ..I read ur comment About family break.. that's great..I'm glad ur back..💙👍
@@V101SPACE you def deserved it after all of your hard work. Family time is important too.
Earth has at least 2 moon's and the only way they figured out was to park a spacecraft away from the planet at a distance where you can use a filter to block out the planet and just look what is all around the planet and that's how they figured out there was one that is in the polar orbit
I’ve always wondered if you made huge cutouts of hands, could you do shadow puppets on the moon?
Permanent is a matter of definition, since the distance from Earth to the Moon is slowly increasing by 3,8 cm per year, 1,5 inches for those so inclined. Given the distances in astronomy that is very small but it does mean that the Moon will leave its orbit at some point in time.
The sun will go nova long before the moon breaks earth orbit. This is a pseudo-science channel.
How dare NASA use lunar Landers that the take off pushes it away
@@mlee6050 The effect is probably when the Russians crash into the Moon.
Well yes the moon is slowly drifting away. However, our sun will turn into a red giant before the moon stops orbiting earth so that’s “permanent” enough for practical purposes.
Looking through my photos several years ago I found two examples with full moon images that in the foreground had a smaller sized 'moon' one was dull brown, the other dull green. They were dull enough i had missed them in earlier quick glances as the moon itself wasn't a clear image. They are just photos taken with a regular Leica camera and used at full enlargement. I only saw them when I looked at the digital images. My son maintains I am just seeing rare visual distortions within the lenses.
"I told you the moon was haunted!"
- Grandpa BUFF, HLC
For real?! Wow!!
Interesting…. I am just watching it first time
I thought we only have one other moon and it's only the size of a car? I remember hearing about it about in the 2000s
No mention of CRUITHNE. Cruithne is a tiny 5km wide object which “dances” around the Earth and the Sun in a strange horseshoe shaped orbit. Look it up on Wikipedia. There you can video animations showing the strange yet symmetrical shape of the “orbit” of Cruithne.
Maybe we should build O'Neil Cylinders at Lagrange points, I hope none fall on Australia
See it's very unusual for a planet our size to have such a large Moon orbiting it. Earth Moon falls in more of the type and size of the Moon you would find around a jovian planet
Awesome video ! I love it so much . Thank you for sharing it with pleasure . How we will be , when the earth hidden moon ? Happy Friday to you !
Mining a mini mood 😂
The ghost moons could this be how rings are formed around planets?
Would you tell what moves back and forth side to side looking up, a star that moves visits a start path south to north one direction.? As if observing planet to plants moves like a top ,only lost or in a hurry to find something as if one by one as if deriving some messages. 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Where sre the sources!!? Want to read more about it
Sounds like at any moment this dude will stop for Tea 🍵☕ time 🤣
I saw two last night both in going toward setting area one high in the middle of the sky 6 hours later one on the regular course. Flipped in different direction danf near the same size
Imagine the moon was a planet like ours once, fell out of orbit and ended up here carrying bacteria which we all evolved from 😅
I heard about the sister moons about 40 years ago. We just don't see them because their frequency is different, making them invisible by eyesight.
wow your name suits you well! you've robbed me of my time and valuable info! :)
I thought I had discovered a second moon orbiting Earth, but it turned out to be my neighbor doing toe-touches on the balcony above . I was very disappointed... I had named it "Creameesha" after my girlfriend... she was disappointed too.
I'm surprised there was no mention of Cruithne.
Do you know how much I'd both equally love and hate to be the first human ever on a temporary moon and find other bipedal prints while on a walk?
Yeah... THAT much.
Facinating! It made me think of how easily advanced aliens can "Big Brother" us by being camouflaged as one of these rocks. We wouldn't know anything!
Not likely.
@@jessicapearson9479as likely as not
Unless we'll detect gravity anomalies in our orbits.
I think these bodies are referred to as 'co-orbitals.'
I feel that I should get my credit card out and order something now and I should not delay. Sounds like an infomercial.
Welcome Back
I had a dream about this
Certified Gold!!!!!
Neptune in solarballs: what is a moon??? 😂
I'm surprised Cruithne wasn't mentioned.
This is, to me, the most fascinating space news since the first Apollo missions. WOW ! All these components have me wondering how tenuous the balance of forces that provided Earth with a useable climate for the duration, really may be? Le Grange points. Mini moons. Temporary moons. Finally learning what can be known by the greatest observers ever to live.
What is the 2nd sun that follows and sets with the sun but doesn’t glow?
TY
No mention of Cruithne. An asteroid in orbital resonance with Earth.
is one of them the red moon of Dalamud?
Forget about extra moons.
I want to hear about Earth's Rings.
We got moons slingshotting, coming back year after.
'Thats no moon'...
I am not surprised that there is a lot of stuff orbiting the earth and they all can be called satellites, name that we sometimes apply to the moon. I would assume that they are dismissed when they are noticed.
Interesting.
