Ganymede, you think you can moon the biggest? challenge accepted! going to hide my ass from the sun this next year that way it will become so white the glare from its reflection will blind anyone who dares look me in the brown eye.
I don't know if these kind of videos do particularly well but I hope you continue making them. We're in a whole new era of space exploration and to hear about all the potential things there are to discover kind of gives me hope for a better future in a world where we've had such a bitter past.
Simon is a huge space nerd, so I doubt he'll stop making these videos as he's really into this stuff. Huge win for the rest of us who are also into space stuff. The future is the best.
Did anyone notice the greatest find of all time? It appears that bird-like creatures are flying over the ice of this moon! 7:15. Wow! And Simon didn't mention it!
With all the media attention around Europa, Enceladus and Titan the past decade, it's refreshing to finally see the extremely underrated Ganymede get some time in the spotlight.
Your multiple channels have been an escape for me in rough times recently; thank you for such quality educational content across so many spectrums of information
4:56 - Your voice is a pleasure to listen to, but your writers are awesome too. Love that little nod to The Little Mermaid in a video about a water world.
Jupiter’s moons once had military importance. Back when clocks were inaccurate the Jovian moons could be used as a clock thus allowing ships to more accurately position themselves.
Imagine actually getting a probe there capable of actually digging though enough ice to see the water and dive into it... That mission would be absolutely awe inspiring
Great video! I'd never heard of the "club sandwich" theory before and you're right, someone was both very clever and VERY stoned when they thought of it. But it'd be so freakin' AWESOME to be able to prove it was correct!
It's the same way Ganymede's interior is portrayed on every piece of media out there apart from the name, never heard it called club sandwich or whatever until this video. It also happens to be the primary reason why Ganymede's ocean isn't as good a candidate for life as Europa or Enceladus.
Your writers (aka, Blazement "guests") definitely write with your personality in mind Simon. That goes for all your channels. You sir, are an amazing presenter. The BBC just might snap you up someday. As for your writers it wouldn't surprise me at all if some of them become RUclips creators in the own right. Your CasCrim writers have the skills to branch out into writing entire true crime novels.
Brilliant video. Reminds of why I've loved space since I was a child. The sense of awe and wonder is just part of it. There's also the huge achievement of creating something that goes to another world and makes a major/history changing discovery. All of these steps we're taking now will help us to sustain humanity and to gain a greater understanding of the universe. It's a shame that more governments don't give this the level of importance that it deserves.
More videos like this please! Super interesting, great writing, and the perfect depth of information to make it understandable but not boring. Great stuff.
I saw Ganymede for the first time a few weeks ago with my own eyes. Jupiter is very close to the Earth at the moment and with just a pair of binoculars I could see 3 moons, one which was Ganymede. Odd they were on a tilt, like / that. I'm not sure if they orbit flat in regards to the plane of the solar system and the Earth was tilted or if they just orbit Jupiter on a tilt. Maybe a bit of both. Anyways that was cool, its probably still close enough to see them if the sky is clear.
@@resileaf9501 Lol, it would need a psychaistrist planet as that's a full-blown mental illness; not as much a "habit". I wonder which planet would make the best psychiatric help lol?
when i was a kid (1981) the number of moons Jupiter had depended on which book I read. when I got older I realised Jupiter had four real moons, and Amalthea, and a scattering of useless rocks.
This is a fascinating presentation on what could be one of the most fascinating objects in the Solar System. Also, I loved the subtle Kim Jong-un and Vladolf Putler roasts.
This pleases the Space Cowboy. Watch out for Red Eye dealers, and a certain modified Welsh Corgi. Edit: when JUICE launches, someone remind me to come to this video and write (in all caps) “The Juice is loose”
13:15 "Now it's important to include our usual disclaimer: Just because somewhere is habitable, doesn't mean it's inhabited." Take Wyoming, for example.
I saw it last night although I was pretty undergunned with a 5x10 Zeiss monocular but it's all I had on me and you can just make out Jupiter's main 4 moons with it.
I kind of wish there isn't any life in these oceans on Ganymede. Because if there is, it means the universe might be stacked with life. And that's a scary thought.
its so crazy to think that at some point in the future, worlds like Ganymede and Europa and other ice shell moons beyond the ice belt in our solar system will become full on, balmy ocean worlds for a few million years, when our sun starts to die and gets all fat and bloated
I love me some space videos. Space is so vast and wonderous. Saturn is my favorite planet and I am always happy when I can observe it through my telescope.
I like these videos. There is a few places I want spacex to go to. The moon, mars, ceres, vesta (because it is an asteroid with an iron core like a planet), Ganymede, and Titan.
fascinating to see much money and effort goes into finding life on far away planets while at the same time scores of people right here on earth are dying of totally preventable conditions like STARVATION...
If you mean like life from our planet ending up there... the intense cold and lack of oxygen would be enough to kill almost everything. Leaving the atmosphere and being torched while it's happening would probably do the rest.
10:14 In Xanadu did Kubla Khan A stately pleasure dome decree Where Alph the sacred river ran Through caverns measureless to man Down to a sunless sea. (Samuel Taylor Coleridge, "Kubla Khan", beginning stanza)
I would have thought that the birds would be a giveaway that we weren’t watching a video of Ganymede’s ice but given that they are a history channel that started doing science I guess we can cut them some slack😂
7:18 you're from the same island my dad is. I presume currently there, so those are Miles per hour and distances on your motorway signs just like here in America. So it could be Britannia F... Yeah 😅
I hope so much for these missions! Finding even the most primitive life on an other body would be the biggest breakthrough in biology since Darwin‘s „On the Origin of Specis“.

How do you not have an "Astrographics" channel yet?
He has enough channels.
@@JasonSighn never. He's the Galactus of RUclips channels

Simon would have you chained to his basement radiator for merely thinking such things!
@@JasonSighn Choose your next words carefully. They may be your last from outside the basement.

🌌ASTROGRAPHICS🌌
....the greatest channel on RUclips. 🥰
I second that
I appreciate your videos, they get me through sitting at work during the mundane moments! These are great to listen to, always so interesting ♥️♥️
The fact that Simon's facial hair has increased in volume over the years is proof that knowledge is stored in the beard.
😂 love this comment
Ganymede is bigger than Mercury, but it's mass is less than half of Mercury's mass.
It makes sense. Since Ganymede is greatly made of ice while mercury is one of the most dense metallic planets in our solar system.
I'm just a _Massive_ fan.
well mercury is almost just an entire iron core as opposed to an actual planet
@@raidermaxx2324 that's pretty *_METAL_*

I was not ready for the Jojos reference in a Geographics vid, but I loved it.
I'm glad it wasn't just me that spotted this, I was doing a word-search of the comments to see who else took something more form this video lol!

Please don't ever work for BBC.

Let's see, Elvis Costello, Foo Fighters, Whitesnake, sea moons, literal stone oceans. Ganymede sounds just as bizarre as that
Simon: "Begging to be explored"
My Brain: "Oh yeah, land on me Earth Daddy"
14:03-14:07 ok, now THAT'S an incredible reference.
I'm so glad I wasn't the only person that noticed it!
These space exploration-videos are so amazing and I hope we get even more of them ^^

Very interesting video! I really like the solar system videos lately.. very well written! Great job Simon and team 😊👏🏻💯🙌🏻
Geographics, great video! Enjoy your Wednesday! 🙏
When I was a kid, Jupiter had only nine moons. Now it has so many, and probably more that still haven't been discovered.
Damn, Jupiter is a hoarder. Hopefully the other planets stage an intervention so it can drop that habit.
Only fitting that Jupiter would have the largest harem.

We need more videos on moons, planets, stars etc please.👍🙂
Great information! Super interesting! and an awesome way to present them!
As a U.S. American, I applaud Simon’s gentle ribbing of our stubborn adherence to non-metric measurements.
This pleases the Space Cowboy. Watch out for Red Eye dealers, and a certain modified Welsh Corgi.
Edit: when JUICE launches, someone remind me to come to this video and write (in all caps) “The Juice is loose”
Sadly, he's gonna carry that weight...
@@tugatomskanimation6370 a poignant and insightful end to the series.
I was checking the comment specifically for the “Juice is loose” reference. I was not disappointed
@@Docwilson91 I’ll post it again whenever the system launches lol. With a name like JUICE it was bound to come up 😂

"Inaccessible to you as your ex's heart." Why you gotta do me like that, Factboi?!

Omg you constantly love to dig at Putin. I feel like it is almost a tradition in every video thanks for the laugh 😆
Been waiting for my fix all day.
I kind of wish there isn't any life in these oceans on Ganymede. Because if there is, it means the universe might be stacked with life.
And that's a scary thought.
Far far too far to affect us.
Scary AWESOME!
Amazing video. Thank You!
Space Simon is the best Simon. Full of wonder rather than disdain.
5:03 I didn't know there's seagulls on Ganymede.

I have to re-watch this now ... I spent half the video thinking about Cowboy Bebop references
I like how Simon calls Ganymede the biggest "natural" satellite like we somehow made a bigger satellite ourselves.
One day we might 🤷♀️
Seriously, we need a dedicated channel on Space! Simon man of the people, come on!!!
Somehow, I missed this one when it dropped originally. Lucky me that I get to watch it now.
Simon I humbly suggest that you create another channel for your empire called space-ographics
Fabulous little mermaid reference. Just so on point!!
I love those birds flying around on the ice sheet video clips in this video.
Nice seagull @7:17. 😁
14:00 nice Jojo Reference
What an amazing stunning world it would be to walk on ....could you imagine
Imagine the exitement and pure terror it will be actual finding life there.
So we're gonna have JUICE and the Europa Clipper around Jupiter at the same time? That'll be pretty coooool. 2031 where you at.
"The largest natural satellite" implies that there is a larger artificial satellite.
Now i'm concerned.
13:56 Did he just make a JoJo reference?
fascinating to see much money and effort goes into finding life on far away planets while at the same time scores of people right here on earth are dying of totally preventable conditions like STARVATION...
'Simply begging to be explored. . .'
That's what Zeus said to Hera.
I'm wondering, IF the multiple layers theory turns out to be true... How would we even manage to explore the inner layers without cross contamination?
What do you mean by cross contamination?
If you mean like life from our planet ending up there... the intense cold and lack of oxygen would be enough to kill almost everything. Leaving the atmosphere and being torched while it's happening would probably do the rest.
Hopefully Ganymede doesn't have any ice nine in addition to possibly all sorts of other ice types
That's what I was wondering.
Imagine the first human exploration of Ganymede being obliterated by a typo.
Can we have a video on the feasibility (current and future tech) of terraforming other worlds/moons in our solar system?
Can't wait to say, "the juice is loose"
Let's nuke Ganymede's ice crust and see what's below!
Kidding 😅
