Callisto's Strange Ice Towers - Moon Of Jupiter

  • This video examines the most iconic small scale feature of Callisto which are its ice towers, also known as ice knobs. I examine the evidence behind how such features form. The most likely explanation found is that they are mostly eroded crater rims. But how can things erode on Callisto's surface which is largely geologically inactive and on top of that is airless? Well, probably through the sublimation of ices along with maybe some small contribution of small meteorites hitting the surface. The images that were used in this video to piece together the puzzle of how Callisto's surface works were captured by NASA's Galileo spacecraft, however there is much more left to uncover and sadly the Juno spacecraft didn't even do a single flyby of Callisto so far.

      The Mars replacement would be ‘habitable’, most likely. As it could then hold onto its atmosphere easily. The Venus replacement would be more difficult to predict, being smaller would not necessarily mean it wouldn’t heat up and evaporate its water, as boiling temperatures would be lower with the lower gravity/pressure.

    It's intriguing that the debris flows in most of the craters is coming from the same exact orientation. Is that a fingerprint of the cause?

  • @r0cketplumber
    @r0cketplumber 3 дні тому +2

    Other almost-airless bodies such as Triton and Pluto also have substantial heat transport via sublimation and frost, nitrogen out there in the cold. That the frost is so reflective (in part due to the internal voids, same as snow) helps it reflect sunlight while enhancing long-wave IR emissivity, making it very cold indeed. The dark plains get warmer and drier, the cold mounds get colder and saturated.
    @Nighthawkinlight is making super-white, high-e coatings and fibers that get cooler than ambient air in full sunlight using the same principles of porousity for scattering and reflection of sunlight, and high thermal emissivity from the bulk. Engineering often simply replicates natural phenomena.

    The more craters I see the less I see sense in the 'impact' theory. I can understand an incoming object compressing air in an atmosphere in front of it and exploding because of that but where there's no atmosphere at all we really ought to be be seeing many more oval shaped crater than we do. They can't _all_ be circular. That's too odd to be ignored as it is.

    • @12pentaborane
      @12pentaborane 4 дні тому +4

      Infact almost all craters should be circular due to the velocity involved. Think about the impact as setting off explosives than a collision. To get oval craters the impacters have to have a very shallow angle of approach.

    • @NullHand
      @NullHand 4 дні тому +2

      Craters are formed when explosions occur UNDERGROUND.
      And this is exactly what happens during a bolide impact.
      Almost no matter what the angle of incidence, the bolide manages to bury itself underground before it's kinetic energy can fully convert into a thermal explosion.

    • @DrekslerAstral
      @DrekslerAstral  13 годин тому +1

      Probably because the Moon's rocky surface cannot sublimate reasonably fast such that crater rims can erode and form towers on a large scale. Callisto's surface on the other hand has a lot more ice compared to the surface of the Moon, because of that Callisto's surface sublimates a lot more easily compared to the surface of the Moon even at Callisto's frigid temperatures, because of that crater rims on Callisto erode a lot more easily and areas densely packed with towers form.

    They almost look like a well spaced fat type of penitentes we see here on glaciers. Dark surface deposits soak up more sunlight than sporadic lighter areas and either melt, or sublimate, making the lighter areas form tall pillars.

    @Titus-as-the-Roman 3 дні тому

    From my Neanderthalic Mind I sense that Titan and Callisto are the two Sol/Sys bodies that we need Human Outpost. Titan is obvious, we may need another place to go if the Sun starts acting Wanky, Callisto is less apparent but if we ever get to develop the solar system we're going to need a mid system way station, other Jovial Moons too close to Jupiter (Radiation), the other that would make a good station is Ceres.
