    If you're wondering why the footage looks so strange, it's because a) it's not video, it's a series of photos compiled together to resemble video, and b) Titan is very dark and hazy, so they processed the images to render a clearer picture

    It is very curious how some people deny the fact of space exploration, for it being "too complex and difficult to even be possible" yet they don't even give a second thought to the fact that they're expressing their ignorant opinion through a machine, which has the capability of uncanny accuracy and precision to manipulate single electrons to operate billions of mathematical calculations per second inside a one inch by one inch piece of silica and gold, which are turned into graphic information by thousands of tiny lamps working in perfect conjunction. This machine consumes as much energy as a light bulb, and is connected via electromagnetic waves to a globe-wide network of information, which is contained in millions of synchronized electronic discs which store and manage almost unintelligible amounts digital data. Those machines are powered by streams of electrons which travel kilometers inside copper wires, from their source in a facility which transforms the many forms of energy in nature into usable electricity. All this seems negligible, but shooting a missile into the sky with enough accuracy to come close to another planet seems impossible. Who understands them.

    As a career aerospace machinist I was working for A-tron machining in Tucson Arizona. In a partnership with Martin Marietta and University of Arizona lunar planetary lab. I was given 2 miniature infrared camera bodies to machine from titanium. Back then machining titanium was still fairly new but I was given a document from when they built the blackbird spy plane from titanium. They had all the clearance angles to be ground onto cutting tools, the proper geo for drills and taps. Very interesting and probably highlight of my time, which included machining parts for space shuttle, Hubble, space station, stealth program, F15, Reagan’s Star Wars program and more. A little disappointed when they told me I would have to wait 7 yrs after launch to see results.

      Personally I find most data released from NASA to be utterly underwhelming. It's either bad CGI, or raw numbers. At least the raw when it comes out can be turned into bad CGI. But shit me, man. Cameras are so fucking small now they could be shoved onto everything. SpaceX puts NASA to utter shame with their ability to still do great science yet also please us plebs with pretty pictures. But NASA isn't what it used to be. Even though the last two budgets are the FIRST and SECOND BUDGET EVER in NASA's history for NASA to get an INCREASE (not even kidding, they've been cut every year since invention, including when they landed on the moon) NASA is now all about diversity and inclusion and not meritocracy and science. So government exploration is dead in the water, here's hoping private companies pick up that slack more!

We're lucky that gravity isn't high enough to make chemical based space flight impossible. The tyranny of the rocket equation works out so that we're just able to get into space without it being financially or literally impossible. Shaving a percentage point or two of the fuel required would be a massive benifit.

    Huygens did not take footage, but a great many photos. Some are grainier due to being farther away.
    It's constructed using real images that were probably in black and white as to get the greatest exposure and capture the most surface detail.

      ​@@jasonvoorhees8545 ​ I appreciate your comment and forgive you for being rude as it happened to me in the past as well.
      I would be extremely arrogant to even think for a second that I can save the world, but you gotta put the goal high if you want to get somewhere, so why not ;)
      I understand that people have to live their life according to their beliefs and that most of them gave up on spirituality or never touched it. But we have to keep in mind that maybe, just maybe, truth is what will save us from living our lives the wrong way, away from God.
      Science is only trying to explain God's creation. Some scientists saw God through their research because of the complexity of life and nature laws, some others kept rejecting the idea of God, and some hated God to the point that they worked on a plan to explain the Creation without God.
      From the point of view of a person who knows God is real and doesn't want others to be decieved, it is an urge to open other people's eyes but the response you get when doing that is often rough, as if you were trying to harm them while actually doing the very opposite.
      I recently found that quote :
      The only barrier to truth is the presumption that you already have it. - Chuck Missler
      I think that explains very well why people won't listen. They think they know.
      Taking some time to sit down and admit they could be wrong about the way they see the world and life would be a waste of time in their mind, sadly.
      Have a blessed day, I'll keep doing my thing ;)

      - I quite agree about priorities for spending, but all life has this natural drive to trial-and-error explore its boundaries and limits, even at mortal risk to self and species.
      - This will happen everywhere eternally because nature rewards it by surviving groups that do (because they discover new and better ways of surviving), and disadvantaging to extinction the groups that don't (because they miss out on the new and better ways). It includes businesses too.

      The probe has many sensors and other telemetry that had to be sent back to earth, like atmosphere composition etc, and because of the distance they had to sacrifice speed to be able to have the data be intact when it returns. because of this the bandwidth used to broadcast said data is very limited.
      This makes it extremely impractical to send back a video.
      So what we got is a series of images and a ton of other information, and we used this information to reconstruct the whole landing into a seamless video.
      When the probe has actually landed you can see the original image to the left of the video.

      +Verruca the gravity on Titan is about 1/8th that of earth. Couple that with a 50% higher pressure providing more lift per wing beat, you probably could fly. Easier if you did it inside a large pressurized habitat where you didn't have to carry breathing gear.

      @@lcobb5214 Dude... It's perfectly to scale except you're forgetting this picture was taken 2 billion miles from us, by Saturn's orbit near Titan. What you don't realize is how far back the Sun is from this video. The Sun would only expand out of frame if we began to fly in closer and closer. But from out by Titan's orbit.... This is a real video. It's not a matter of being 'to scale'. We can see transits of Venus crossing the Sun right here on Earth and we see something just like this, despite how much larger the Sun is than Venus. You're confusing the actual size of Earth and Moon and the Sun to a side-by-side image, as if all 3 were all next to each other. Only in that case would the scale be wrong. But, sorry, sir, you're completely wrong here. I say this because I don't think you appreciate what you're seeing in this video if you think the scale is all wrong.

      Michael Scott -- what an outstanding point you made. No one should dare question a science video! Everyone should be forced into blind obedience and unquestioning certainty if it has the "made scientific" stamp on it. Because it never happens that an experiment or observation is done incorrectly. It never happens that data is cherry picked to support a theory. It never happens that equipment gives false or inaccurate readings or measurements. It never happens that data is purposefully modified for the sake of continued funding. It never happens that the peer review process has inherent flaws about it........ so your saying the point to science is not to question it, brilliant. As for your peer reviewed paper license you need to have to question science, here's a reason some would question that position in one article amongst many, this ones titled, Peer Review: a flawed process that's at the heart of science and journals. It's by the JRSM so I think it's safe to say they have had their papers peer reviewed. I thought it was religion we weren't supposed to question, thanks for clearing that up, we can now add science to that category.

    • @lightningrod1063
      @lightningrod1063 8 лет назад

      Not sure I have it backwards but I get what you're saying. What is eclipsed depends where the observer stands. If I send a probe to the moon to capture the photo I described, the probe would be photographing a total solar eclipse during a total lunar eclipse. Tricky language.
      I want to suggest this as a challenge to any Google X Prize participants. First team to get the eclipse shot wins a million bucks or something like that.
      Also, I'm pretty sure there would still be a spectacular red ring surrounding Earth. It's size isn't great enough to prevent the sunlight from shining through. In fact, that's what makes the moon glow red during a lunar eclipse. It's the red glow of a planetwide sunset on Earth. It would be quite a site from the moon.

      Titan is in a 'tidal lock' with Saturn. Like the Earth's Moon, Titan always keeps the same face towards its parent planet. That means that wherever you are on Titan (or our own Moon with Earth) the planet Saturn doesn't move around much. If I remember correctly, Huygens landed on a part of Titan where you could never see Saturn, even if you could look through the haze.

Especially since the contrary can be so easily proven if you do a little research with telescopes and math yourself. There are clearly satellites up there that you can find if you care to do so. Plenty of amateur astronomers do this. There are also reflectors that were left on the moon that you can find if you care to verify Apollo, though that is a bit more challenging for an amateur. There are also clearly planets that are round with spinning surface features (indicating they are spheres). The sky appears to rotate in a spherical pattern that repeats over time. Which is the simplest explanation? That the entire sky is full of spinning spheres and rotates as if we were on a spinning sphere, but...uh...we actually aren't and it is the entire sky rotating about us? Lol, such a dumb theory. People who believe in it just don't care to do the research themselves imho.
