  • Hellas Planitia is the deepest spot on Mars and is the second largest confirmed crater on Mars. So in this video, I take a look at some of the odd features that it has all throughout the crater.
    Intro and some other clips in the video were made with Space Engine.
    Music used in the video:
    1. Audionautix - Atlantis
    2. Twin Musicom - At the Foot of the Sphinx
    3. Huma Huma - Nevada City
    4. DL-Sounds - Mercury
    5. Kevin MacLeod - Ritual

      I think hellas means Greece? Because in greek we say Ελλάδα(Hellas)or Ελλάς(hellas) which is the same.

    As it’s the deepest part of Mars, would that be where the Martian atmosphere would be thickest? That would be a point in its favour to be the first colony site, maybe?

      The atmosphere is indeed the thickest at this point. A research colony site could possibly be set up at more interesting parts of Mars but this looks like the best place to set up a semi permanent base.

    • @countenanceblog

      "Thickest," by Mars standards, which isn't very much. And still multiple times below the Armstrong Limit.

    • @zachhernandez4901
      @zachhernandez4901 2 года назад +15

      But if one of the initial goals is to increase Mars pressure ~6x this location may often be just above the Armstrong Limit making it more survivable in the event of unexpected depressurization, which I personally believe is the most important variable. So long as you dress warm, practice your breath hold and/or carry a mini Spare Air bottle then emergencies should go from being catastrophic to inconveniences. Add in an orbiting centrifuge station for 6 month rotations and limit unshielded radiation exposure to 8 hours a day and this Mars thing just might work. Really hope they pick the lowest point on Mars for the colony so long as ice is nearby

    Thanks for covering this, finally a nice little video about this intriguing hole that we always see but not know much about, Im actually surprised that scientists dont really seem to be interested in the deepest parts of the planet, it would be super cool to measure that higher pressure and to see if the terrain is any different under such. probably wind is stronger there and weather in general is more extreme in such depts, maybe it would be risky to send an expensive rover there, but still, dang id love to see a probe in both Hellas Planitia and famous Valles Marineris, like, a freakin glacier is there, how cool is that?!

    I had wondered about Mars colonies being established in deeper areas, where the atmosphere was thicker and more stable and would provide more protection from Solar radiation. I was wrong about here. Being deeper and with a thicker atmosphere, but with greater surface area, means more air movement and more dust storms, the opposite you would want for a colony. Thanks for showing me that! Marnier Valley is still in the running though.

    Is it true that transient liquid water flows might persist in the depths of Hellas Planitia? It's a tantalising prospect but it's not something I can find much information about. From what I understand, at 1200pa the boiling point of water is roughly -21°C, and the average temperature on the western side of the crater is roughly -45°C on average. The conditions might be ideal at certain times of the year for liquid water or brines to exist on the surface, no?

    Hellas is huge and very deep. Generally speaking, Valles Marineris is also 7km/4mi deep. Another way to say atmospheric pressure of 1200 Pascals is that it is 12 millibars or 0.174 pounds per square inch. That means Earth's atmospheric pressure is 84.5 times greater than even the Hellas Basin.

    • @gate8475
      @gate8475 11 месяцев назад

      Yes, I wonder if this area was filled with water, like a little south ocean, separate from the giant one in the northern hemisphere, or had it been just a giant crater depression during mars’ liquid water days. now if mars had pressure just like ours in the old days to sustain water on surface (which evidently it had), the deep craters and depression were probably roasting maybe even 40 or 50 degrees if we think mars had mild climate, lets say average 5 or 10 degrees (celsius I mean, Idk Farenheits srry😊)
