Astrum I just want to say I love all your videos! They are quite relaxing, and though I have read / seen some of this material before your presentation of the subject matter makes me want to sit back and just enjoy. The feeling your videos give me is the same one I felt when I first learned about space as a child. Hope you keep making videos, I'll keep watching :)
What drawers me to your chanel is the obvious I can't wrap my mind around most of the math and physics but in my sole where I don't need to understand the nuts and bolts of space and time is a curiosity that is insatiable for information. Thanks for the video.
agree, except was disappointed in this video when the photo of what looks like micro organisms from Mars was shown and not immediately rebuffed. The area on that rock which shows what looks like bacteria was taken from another angle and completely reveals that the structures are just rock ridges and not at all life.
Who? Anyone that exists in reality ~ and Jeff merely spoke the words, but as a fictional character addressing life that already existed that was recreated in a fictional way so a movie company could make a buck off morons who think movies are reality ~
0:34 Life existed on Earth way before it developed an oxygen rich atmosphere... it was actually life that created it! So that's not a pre-requisite for life. In fact oxygen is a very toxic and reactive gas - live had to evolve to deal with it.
Allways a pleasure to see your fine compilations of brilliant video material combined with your enthusiastic but calm voice over - as a true explainer of what an where life in our solar system could be. Go on with that.
I would be shocked if there is no life on Europa. Its going to be really hard to get through all that ice though. Makes me sad because I might be already gone when they find it
@@hawkdsl They can capture the water from the plumes shooting out or from the frozen surface since it is frozen water that came out from the inside. As for living long enough, if you can make it for about 20 years or so we should have samples by then. :)
Great video, as always. Thanks! If you ever make a video about neutron stars someday you would have my full attention, I think they're really fascinating objects in our universe
I love stuff like this and have taken a keen interest in the Mars program . I have my own theory based upon the “is there a star gate documentary” that opened my eyes to the possibility of life on other planets and the true story around Noah’s ark.
I love that China is starting to stretch its space-legs, this hopefully will spur on the US, ESA and maybe the Russian space programs too so that they don't get left behind. Private companies looking to make money from space will also boost development and innovation, asteroid mining, space tourism, etc. What I would love more than any of the currently planned stuff (putting men back on the moon, putting men on Mars, etc) would be to have permanent orbiters and also land rovers/diggers on some of Jupiter's and Saturn's moon, maybe Neptune's Triton too. These are the places we should be looking to live outside of Earth, huge amounts of liquid water if you melt through the ice meaning all the oxygen we need to breath and all the hydrogen fuel we need to product energy, plus temperatures are not too bad either hence the liquid water.
a LOT LOT more. About 100 billion stars in our galaxy alone - the vast majority will have planets. Even if the average is only one planet per star (probably way too low), thats at least 100 billion planets. And we know of at least 100 billion galaxies in the known universe. About 10^22 is a low estimate.
I believe there is other life out there somewhere there has to be it wouldnt make sense with so many other planets to not have other forms of life out there 💯💯💯
Nice video tell me if it all started from the Big Bang how is it possible for earth 🌏 to be in the goldy Lox Zone magnetic field etc sun moons impossible
First learn how to use these: , . Then we can talk about why haven't you listened in school? Oh, you have been reading you huly buk. Get lost dishonest imbecile!
To make Venus worse, it appears to have a pretty young surface (few craters) and lacks visible plate tectonics, suggesting it might restructure it's surface every so often (geologically-speaking).
Our search for life seems so haphazard. 1)Have we agreed what 'life' means? 2) Are we just looking for microbes, or are we looking for sentient beings (NASA hates discussing EBEs to any serious degree)? 3)What criteria are we using to measure failure or success? 4)Could we even recognise alien life if we found it (remember the 'Martian meteorite' microbes back in '96 that turned out to be terrestrial life?). 5)Our own definition of life may be so narrow it will prevent us from truly finding any, because it will lead us away from the unexpected or unpredictable. I think we need to address these issues before we even starting to look for ET; we're so in a hurry we don't even know what we're looking for, or know what it is when we find it.
I wouldnt be surprised if there was life on Mercury or Venus. Because living things adapt to the environment they live in and we cant expect them to need what we need.
@@MrCrowebobby That is not a valid comparison. Earth is already a planet well suited for life, other planets, even Mars, is way more hostile to life than the places on earth where life struggles. Ever wondered why it's called "Extremophiles"? It's because life just barely manages to exist in those environments, and that is on a planet that has an abundance of life. Fact of the matter is, when you look at the complexity of biochemistry and the failure of abiogensis studies to make any meaningful progress, it is clear that life is highly improbable in the best of conditions. It isn't a matter of simply adding liquid water. I would argue 99% of even earth like planets are most likely sterile. If that is the case, then the odds of life existing elsewhere in our solar system is virtually 0.
@@Hannodb1961 Life as we know it... All life is, is a reproducable way that negative entropy is offset. So many possibilities. Although you may aslo be right.
@@mysteryhombre81 Crystals are self replicating too. The difference is: Crystals self replicate due to simple chemical properties that makes it inevitable. You just need the right conditions, and crystals will form on its own. Life self replicate due to a genetic code (specified information) that is read and interpreted by complex protein molecules that does not form automatically when you just mix all the building blocks together. Because we live on a world filled with life, some people take it for granted and forget how extremely complex and improbable it is. Anyone who thinks that liquid water will inevitably lead to life, is ignorant of biochemistry. And if they're not ignorant of biochemistry, they're ignorant on a far deeper level.
If we lower the odds of life in the universe is a mathematical certainty if we give a very low probability number then that would indicate that life is abundant in the universe, at some time or another, many may be extinct, many may not have left single-cell organism stage, on top of that, we could have evolved from alien organic materials.
Life with a different biochemistry could have a very different "Goldilocks Zone" than organic based life on Earth. While I certainly wouldn't rule out organic exo-life, the Goldilocks Zone that astronomers use when searching for life on other products could just be a product of the habitats preferred by humans and other Earth-based life.
6 2 2018 Hello and good day Alex/Astrum, Another informative review; thank you! A comment, I have is how civil people are in the comment section! If that changes, I would hope those individuals go away...or their comments are deleted. Be well. v P.S.: I think you should have a gazillion subscribers.
Why are pressure suits used by astronauts on Mars usually depicted as some shade of dull ruddy orange or red, the same color as the surrounding environment? Shouldn't they be bright neon green or yellow so the person is easy to find when in distress?
Is Venus dismissed prematurely as a possibility for microorganisms? Certainly it is inhospitable for Earthlike life forms, but with the discovery of microorganisms on earth in places of extreme heat and pressures, with completely different biochemistry, is there nor a possibility of still more unusual forms that could arise on Venus? I did a thought experiment years ago regarding different chemical reactions for life in other environments, and figured out several possibilities, but the key factor is the energy equation. For each reaction, energy is required, and energy must be released to power processes, and the amounts of each for each reaction requires more knowledge than I had, to determine if a certain series of processes is viable for sustaining life.
I believe it is considered too hot, even for the organisms that live around the hot vents at the bottom of Earth's oceans. If life exists there, it would be very different from anything we have seen on Earth.
Venus is 864 degrees Fahrenheit (462 degrees Celsius) - That's way too hot even for Thermophiles. A thermophile thrives at temperatures, between 41 and 121 °C which is pretty hot, but no where hear as hot as Venus. The upper limits for other extremeophiles 121 °C for Pyrolobus fumarii and Pyrococcus furiosus.
Robert C. Christian Ok, thanks. I was under the impression that some had been found that were much higher than that. But that is quite a difference. Appreciate the facts, and you didn't even call me an idiot for not knowing!😁
People are mean on this thing ... lol - but most people in Astrums channel seem pretty cool and laid back! Life seems to take hold where ever it can... even in places you think it can't take hold... we find life... In the hot volcanic vents deep in the ocean and in the Arctic in the form of almost frozen algea. I wouldn't be surprised if we do find life in these extreme places some day. Have a great weekend :)
Robert C. Christian Thanks! You as well! It does seem that so far, most people on this channel are actually here out of interest, and wanting to learn things. That does make it more of a pleasure in addition to its content, so people can actually discuss things.
My humble opinion - life is widespread but technology is rare. I hope in my lifetime we will at least have telescopes poweful enough for direct imaging and spectroscopic analysis of other planets atmospheres. We should at least be able to detect the signs of life then. Although I'd prefer my own personal starship :-(
I think once we stop looking for earth like species and start thinking on a different level for an organism to survive we will start getting answer to the question "Are we alone in the universe?".
I know this is a tin foil hatters favourite topic, but how epic would it be if it turned out there had been a civilisation on Mars, perhaps that died when a pole shift caused the magnetic field to dissipate, leaving Mars with no atmosphere?
"Alien species that is energy" is okay for Kneel DeAsse Tyson to consider feasible, but if you say these entities are spiritual those like him usually dismiss it as "non scientific". Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees.

@@theothertroll Dude, fucking lighten up. Do you not recognise a tongue-in-cheek comments when you see it? What am I asking, 0f _course_ you don't...
Well life is found in the the most unexpected places in/on earth so there's more to this.
I love watching your videos before going to sleep. Your voice is so calm and the information is great to contemplate! Great work!

Piotr Kozbial | I think he meant animals thst lived in the sea.
Lol he's right... Cyanobacteria oxidized the earth. Meaning life existed before the atmosphere was rich with oxygen.
You are close but you are reasoning.
I like the way how you think
Bruh there could be life on like sulfuric acid air planets
Concise and fascinating videos
This a very insteresting thing, really love this channel
this channel is better than other science/space channels because of the visuals. great job

I've been waiting for your video for ages.. You are the best youtuber about cosmos!
your channel is amazing....really great work, insightful, educational, and beautiful looking videos as well. I watch your playlists daily.
love all your videos, I find them all very interesting. I look forward to seeing your work in the future.
You make such incredible videos dude, please keep it up. I love your stuff and the quality you provide is always amazing.
Keep on produce this kind of videos. Watch every one of them. Greetings from sweden...
As always your videos are made with great quality... thanks
Your videos are great for learning and understanding science. Thank you!
Always great seeing Astrum in my sub feed
Another awesome, informational & educational video Alex,I learn something new everytime I watch your channel,thank you
Brilliant work as always. Thank you so much Alex!!
Waited until Sunday morning to watch this: it went very well with coffee and a bagel.
Keep up the good work. I always look forward to your work 😀
Awesome videos you deserve more attention👍👍
Keep it up bud. I can't wait for part 2!
your content is so amazing. i love it. keep on making this awesome content.
Great video man
I wish they would do missions to Encealdus or Europa because they may have liquid oceans.
I would be shocked if there is no life on Europa. Its going to be really hard to get through all that ice though. Makes me sad because I might be already gone when they find it

Upload more we are waiting for....

Missed you astrum. Hello again xx
amazing and very informative . thank you
You deserve 10M subscribers
6 2 2018 Hey Jhay Torres, I agree! Spread the word. Be well. v
Can you do a video on the history of Mars from it's birth till now?
Thank you, Alex! 🦠
i love the way you talk 👍🏻
I love astronomy,i mean astrum channel i learned a lot from here thank you.
A very informative video. Thank you !
I missed your videos man!
Ha gayy
Imagine if tons of aliens come to our planet when they know it’s in danger and they save us 😳😳
This is very good quality video. And very interesting subject.
Superb content buddy.
love your videos !
Amazing video
Great Video, thank you.
Just awesome.
There are more than trillion planets. There must be life somewhere.
Just in our galaxy*
Honestly I hope so..
Multiply that by a couple nonmillion

Very good videos for a layman to comprehend and funny too geezer's on the poles
I love the clips that had a cfd simulation in it!
This is excellent thank you
Yes we do believe
We
Are
Not
Alone
Looking forward to part 2.
Gorgeous video as always ♥. I was wondering about Europa and Titan as possible places where life could exist?
There are so many factors that combine to make Earth habitable..... it makes me seriously doubt the existence of life elsewhere.
Great vid bro, but in my opinion its a futile search the resources could be spent on more pressing matters..
To make Venus worse, it appears to have a pretty young surface (few craters) and lacks visible plate tectonics, suggesting it might restructure it's surface every so often (geologically-speaking).
Extrasolar Systems coming soon?
You know im hyped for some new Infos and stuff from the Trappist system ;p
Exoplanets will be part 3 :)

No, there won't be, and life can't magically adapt to just any environment. It is restricted by the limitations placed on it by chemistry.

I think the Goldilocks zone is wrong u can get heat and energy outside it.Europa and Enceladus are the best places to look for life
Goldilocks zone for the potential for life on the surface. Part 2 will cover some of the moons with liquid oceans under the surface :)

Wonderful video. And I say this as a picky space loving video watcher. That was a lonf description of me .-.
Just a bit of nitpicking. Temperatur Celsius is written as an uppercase C. Lowercase c in this context mans the speed of light...
I'm so happy and satisfied with the life we find here on earth!

There was life on mars there could stuff be some in under water rivers
How is it possible that fragments of Mars material can reach Earth? And not only reach earth but being undestroyed?
Are you from Switzerland?
Because of the accent
I like it ;D
Not from Switzerland, but I'm currently living there! :)
Sounds very English to me
We spend trillions of dollars to know how blessed we are to be on earth surviving on it every moment.
Yes..... right here on Earth
If there is life on mercury Im gonna be happy

How about the possibility of life underground on the moon, and Mercury?
