Planets Overload

Astronomer Jason Wright proposes that intelligent technological civilizations could have existed on Venus before the planet experienced a runaway greenhouse effect or on Mars when it was wetter with a thicker atmosphere. Extraterrestrial civilizations (ETC) could have arisen millions or even billions of years ago before going extinct. Or they may have left our Solar System to settle in other solar systems. If advanced technological intelligent Venusians and Martians did exist, they might have left behind traces of their technology—called technosignatures. In this video, we explore the possibility that ancient civilizations existed on Venus and Mars, and like with the Silurian Hypothesis, the difficulty of finding technosignatures, such as evidence of lost cities, that could point to their former presence. #solarsystem #aliens #space Interesting Astronomy Books: The Big Book of Mars: From Ancient Egypt to The Martian, A Deep-Space Dive into Our Obsession with the Red Planet: https://tinyurl.com/dutybtty The Aliens Are Coming!: The Extraordinary Science Behind Our Search for Life in the Universe: https://tinyurl.com/652rby2r Confessions of an Alien Hunter: A Scientist's Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence by Seth Shostak: https://tinyurl.com/5n6frts7 * Buying products through Amazon affiliate links doesn't cost you anything extra, but it helps to support this channel Check the pinned comment for links to articles mentioned in this video.

Does dark matter exist? Most cosmologists, astronomers and astrophysicists think so, but some believe that it is a myth. Dark matter, which is believed to make up about 85% of the universe’s matter, remains elusive due to its non-interaction with light or other forms of electromagnetic radiation. We discuss the groundbreaking observations by astronomers Vera Rubin and Kent Ford, who discovered that stars far from the centers of galaxies moved just as fast as those closer to the center, leading to the conclusion that there must be unseen matter in the outer regions of galaxies. We also explore alternative theories such as Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND), which proposes changing Newton’s law of gravity to explain how galaxies move. This video includes arguments from Professor Pavel Kroupa of the University of Bonn in Germany, who argues against the existence of dark matter. Whether you’re a science enthusiast or just curious about the universe, this video will provide a brief overview of one of the most intriguing and controversial topics in modern astronomy.

What if we could move to another planetary system? In this video, we explore the possibility of living in TRAPPIST-1, a system of seven Earth-sized planets orbiting an ultra-cool dwarf star. We’ll look at the challenges and benefits of traveling to and settling on one of these worlds, especially TRAPPIST-1e, which may have liquid water and a similar gravity to Earth. We’ll also discuss the effects of being tidally locked to the star and having an uninhabitable atmosphere. Is TRAPPIST-1 our backup plan for the future?

India has made history by becoming the first country to land a spacecraft near the moon's south pole, joining the ranks of the United States, China, and Russia as a space superpower. But why is India spending billions of dollars on space exploration when it faces so many challenges on Earth, such as poverty, hunger, and pollution? Is India's space program a waste of money or a smart investment for the future? By landing the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft on the lunar surface, India has demonstrated its technological prowess and ambition to become a global leader in space exploration. In this video, we will explore the economic benefits of mining the moon, which is one of the main motivations behind the new moon race. The moon is rich in minerals that are scarce or expensive on Earth, such as titanium, rare earth metals, and helium-3. These resources could be used for various purposes, such as building stronger and lighter materials, creating advanced electronic devices, and powering clean and efficient nuclear fusion reactors. Mining the moon could help preserve our planet's own resources by reducing the need for extracting and transporting materials from Earth. Moreover, a moon base could enable us to access other Solar System bodies with even more potential for exploration and exploitation, such as Mars and asteroids. These places could offer scientific discoveries, technological innovations, and economic opportunities that could benefit humanity in the long run.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if our lunar neighbor was twice as close to Earth as it is now? In this video, we explore the stunning and terrifying consequences of a closer moon, from massive tides and earthquakes to more frequent solar eclipses. There would also be changes in coastlines, volcanoes, and even animal behavior. You will see how a closer moon would give us more spectacular solar eclipses.

Light from other parts of the universe only comes from a portion called the observable universe. Most of the universe is out of reach of our eyes and our telescopes. This is the unobservable universe. The observable universe is just a small fraction of the total universe. Some regions of space are moving away from us faster than the speed of light, which means the observable universe is shrinking in size. Because the expansion of the Universe is accelerating, each year, more and more regions of space cross the point of no return and become unobservable to us. #astronomy #cosmology #space Interesting Astronomy and Space Books: Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth by Avi Loeb: https://tinyurl.com/3r79s6na Confessions of an Alien Hunter: A Scientist's Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence by Seth Shostak: https://tinyurl.com/5n6frts7 * Buying through these Amazon affiliate links doesn't cost you anything extra, but it helps to support this channel.

Project Horizon was a top-secret U.S. Army study conducted in the late 1950s that explored the possibility of establishing a permanent military outpost on the surface of the moon. The ambitious plan aimed to establish a lunar base by 1966, complete with living quarters, laboratories, and defensive capabilities. This Moon base would have been under the control of the United States military rather than a civilian agency like NASA. In this video, we delve into the fascinating history of Project Horizon and examine the details of this visionary plan for the first human settlement on the moon. #militaryhistory #moonbase #spaceexploration Interesting Astronomy and Space Books: Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth by Avi Loeb: https://tinyurl.com/3r79s6na Confessions of an Alien Hunter: A Scientist's Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence by Seth Shostak: https://tinyurl.com/5n6frts7 * Buying through these Amazon affiliate links doesn't cost you anything extra, but it helps to support this channel.

Are UFOs (UAPs) of extraterrestrial or human origin? This is a question that has puzzled scientists, government officials, and the general public for decades. In this video, we will explore this fascinating topic. Interesting Astronomy and Space Books: Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth by Avi Loeb: https://tinyurl.com/3r79s6na Confessions of an Alien Hunter: A Scientist's Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence by Seth Shostak: https://tinyurl.com/5n6frts7 * Buying through these Amazon affiliate links doesn't cost you anything extra, but it helps to support this channel. Recently, there have been several credible reports from government officials and whistleblowers, such as David Grusch, claiming that the US government has possession of “intact and partially intact” alien vehicles. The government has established the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) to investigate claims of UFO sightings by military personnel, and is currently holding congressional hearings. In 2021, the Pentagon released a report on UAP which found more than 140 instances of UAP encounters that could not be explained. While some UFO sightings can be explained as manmade objects such as balloons or drones, or natural objects like Venus and lenticular clouds, there is still a small percentage of observations that remain unexplained. These cases generally involve an object that exhibits unusual flight characteristics, like rapid acceleration, rapid velocity, or extreme maneuverability, characteristics that cannot readily be accounted for through known technologies. So what does all this evidence mean? Are UFOs and UAPs of alien origin? While we may not have all the answers yet, the evidence certainly suggests that there is more to these phenomena than meets the eye. Join us as we delve deeper into this fascinating topic. #uap #ufos #aliens Thumbnail Image: https://www.vecteezy.com/free-photos Traveling through a labyrinth of data - Loop Stock Videos by Vecteezy: https://www.vecteezy.com/video/13595919-traveling-through-a-labyrinth-of-data-loop Fair Use Disclaimer: - Copyright Disclaimer under Section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976, allowance is made for ‘fair use' for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.

The Galileo Project made some interesting finds during their search for the remains of the meteor IM1 off the coast of Papua New Guinea. In this video, I'll take a closer look at the wire, iron shards, and spherules found by Astronomer Avi Loeb and his team. IM1 is the first known interstellar meteor to ever hit Earth. It was detected by U.S. government sensors in 2014 and identified as an interstellar object candidate in 2019. It was confirmed by the Department of Defense (DoD) in 2022. This meteor is also known as CNEOS1 2014-01-08 and it crash-landed along the northeast coast of Papua New Guinea on January 8, 2014. The Galileo Project is a research project launched in June of 2021 by co-founders Avi Loeb and Frank Laukien. Hosted by Harvard University, its goal is to bring the search for extraterrestrial technological signatures of Extraterrestrial Technological Civilizations (ETCs) to the mainstream of scientific research. It is complementary to traditional SETI, in that it searches for physical objects, and not electromagnetic signals, associated with extraterrestrial technological equipment.

Learn astronomy, space, and science facts: What is Dark Matter? Dark matter is "stuff" that is all around us, but like with dark energy, astronomers and astrophysicists don't know what it is. Dark matter particles have a gravitational influence on normal matter throughout the universe, and they bend space. But it doesn't interact with the electromagnetic field, which means it doesn't absorb, reflect, or emit light. Here's a cool and fun fact. This "stuff" that scientists haven't yet figured out holds galaxies together. #darkmatter #funfacts #astronomy Space at the Speed of Light, a book by astrophysicist Dr. Becky Smethurst: https://tinyurl.com/3kcb4xmw (Affiliate Link) Fair Use Disclaimer: - Copyright Disclaimer under Section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976, allowance is made for ‘fair use' for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.

55 Cancri e (Planet Janssen) is a 'Super-Earth' exoplanet orbiting a star similar to our Sun. It orbits a star called Copernicus (55 Cancri a), which is part of a binary system with a red dwarf star (55 Cancri b) about 41 light years away. The exoplanet has a molten lava surface and is tidally locked to its star. Because of this, it is often called hellish or the 'Hell Planet.' It was discovered in 2004 and was once called the 'Diamond planet.' Located in the constellation of Cancer, Copernicus is a little over 40 light-years away.
