Planetes is probably my all time favorite space themed anime. The way they described gravity is phenomenal. The story, characters, and expressions have some touch of Japanese culture and may not be for everyone, but I thoroughly enjoyed.
Fraser recommended that during a live stream a few months ago, then it randomly popped up on crunchyroll after that. So on his recommendation i watched it. And its great, its an older anime but its still so good. I may not have started watching it without the recommendation so ill also say if your reading this you should check it out!
I was JUST gonna mention it! The thumbnail inspired me to. The manga was done by the same author as Vinland Saga, a viking epic anime that has a ridiculous attention to historical detail. Makoto Yukimura is a fantastic author.

As soon as I heard you say you were going to recommend an Anime, I knew it was going to be Dr. Stone. I absolutely love it and it legitimately gives me hope for the future. Maybe I missed it and you recommended it previously? But I also recommend Space Brothers, an anime from a while ago which is just an absolute send up of the spirit of space travel. It shows the very very realistic ins and outs of training to become an astronaut and really focuses on the characters conquering their fears, overcoming obstacles, learning to work as a team, and striving to achieve their dreams.
I was just saying the exact same thing to my wife. Almost everything I've seen in the different videos were planes, planets, or stars. Those first ones in NJ were probably drones, like millions of people fly every day. I don't know why so many people are making a big deal. Even politicians saying it might be alien tech. It's laughable and frustrating at the same time.
True they are privately owned and not flying in any restricted areas ... Owners just creating drama and its fun to listen to everything from; its angels to aliens " ...hilarious😅
@Fraser Cain I'm liking the shorter Q&A vids, Q&A bites? The shorter video does make it a lot more clickable, I caught this one live but im still here again lol
You could float a probe in Jupiter's atmosphere if its flotation device was a rigid holllow, gas tight chamber. It would sink until it arrived at neutral buoyancy, depending on its interior having lower pressure than the external environment. Like a submarine works here on Earth.
I recommend the manga/anime (both, in that order) Planetes, as it does deal with a crew going on a mission to Jupiter, although it is mostly about a crew doing space junk collection.
That for some reason human survivors are canonically speaking japanese despite having lost written language, was preserved in spoken form for thousands of years, which also ignoring how fast a large population would build back up even from small numbers. Also those people are descendant from astronauts that had a crew of single person who spoke Japanese, with Russians, some french, and american astronauts with a common language being English among the survivors. Without a written language or education system to create some sort of official status quo spoken languages change rapidly over just a few generations. (Maybe the Manga is different but, in the anime the language thing makes no sense) I could see if there was a deliberate attempt to preserve the language, but that would require the written language survive to. It doesn't make sense.
I liked the part about Canada's involvement in space exploration. Maybe do a small series where you look at what other smaller countries are doing and have done; information that is often drowned out by what the big countries and space agencies are doing.
Maybe the aliens are attaching red and green lights to their flying saucers so human witnesses will think the saucers are airplanes? But they didn't factor for humanity's ability to see anything as flying saucers...😂
Aliens watching the Galileo probe plunge into the Jovian atmosphere: "How nice! The natives are sacrificing to their deity. If Jupiter is pleased, they can be hopeful of many gravity assists to come!"
I had some friends who , when camping out in Florida, were absolutely sure that they had seen a UFO. They were so sure of this, because it streaked across the sky incredibly fast and, resembled a arrowhead, but seemed to be at least as large as a jetliner. This experience was several decades ago, about the same time that the SR-71 was performing missions.
its worth pointing out that the spacecraft we crashed into jupiter and satun only sink until they reach a section that has the same density as the materials of the probe, at which point the debris just floats in super dense gas
Not only is Earth the densest planet, it is also the densest object (barring small fragments mainly made of iron) in the solar system, being around four times denser than the Sun. Mercury and Venus, in that order, are second and third in mean density.
The balloon that would float in a gas giant atmosphere would of course be filled with… VOID! So as buoyancy would do the job. That said, it wouldn’t be a balloon, but a rigid empty container.
While I enjoyed hearing about Phobos and Deimos, my existential questions are... How many roads must a man walk down? How much is that doggy in the window? Wire fence? Viaduct? Why oh why Delilah? Where have all the flowers gone? If a picture paints a thousand words, then why cant I pronounce Chrysanthemum? Why do fools fall in love? Do you know the way to San Jose? Who let the dogs out? What's love got to do with it? Does anybody really know what time it is?🤔
If you wanted to float in the hydrogen atmosphere of a gas giant you wouldn't want a heated hydrogen balloon, you would want a vacuum balloon. The biggest trick with a vacuum balloon in a hydrogen atmosphere would be keeping the hydrogen out of the balloon. Depending on how easy/cheap it would be to make one, you might not care, and simply "inflate" another one.
Not all of the drones sightings are just planes; some move in zig-zag patterns and hover in place. Plus the light patterns don't all match commercial planes. However, they are absolutely explainable by Earthly technology. The question is; who's flying these things and why?
13:30 pure hydrogen would be less dense than the natural mix of hydrogen and helium and other elements there. A black balloon could get some heat from the sun during the day if it was above the clouds. During night, it would be more tricky to heat it but you could use RTG power or battery. The daily cycles are so fast that only several hours of night would happen except near the poles. It would be nice if carbon nanotubes or some future material is strong enough to create a fairly rigid vacuum supporting bubble that was light and strong enough to float without much concern for the composition of gases that leak into it.
Hi Fraser, I just bought a 10" dob. got a very good price so couldn't say no. What's something i could look at with it, in both poor and good light polluted areas? I'm located Adelaide Australia. PS come back.
Must Remember Canada Built Two, ( not One ) of the Most important Two Instruments on James Webb. ( NIRISS ) Near-Infrared Imager And the FGS ( Fine Guidance Sensor ) as well. Canada is on the Cutting Edge of Exploration with the limited recourses we put to our Space Agency.
is it possible that spectroscopy confuses certain elements for elements we might not know? Its obviously designed to react to known matter but what would happen if we did specrotscopy on a neutron star for example? if thats even possible with another star in the background. By the way, when is your birthday so we can all wish you a good one when the time comes?
A very great overview as always, thank you! And merry christmas to all the Universe Today team! P.S. A great (mm.. though, graphic... ;-) ) space-related anime is Cowboy Bebop series.
Fraser, I've been following the UFO stuff again, out of curiosity, since Grusch came out. And about the drones, I've seen 3 interesting videos... One was probably a quadcopter (2 blue and 2 white lights), the other looked like a flying wing (3 blue lights) and, finally, one that looked like an airplane with Christmas lights around it. Which was probably some kind of defect from the camera... But that's it. No "car sized drones". Either way, if people are indeed seeing something, it's probably from the military. That's my bet. Happy holidays! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Why would the military fly drones around New Jersey? It's just a case of lots of people watching the skies and expecting to see something weird. And it's not the first time this happened. The excact same thing happened in Colorado in 2019. Turned out all the sightings were planes or stars or small private drones.
We've been observing the universe at a basic level for hundreds of years, and at a detailed level for decades. Has the observed universe expanded by several tens or hundreds of light years in that time? If so, have we seen stars appear at the edge of that expanding light sphere that weren't visible before but are now?
Isn't the atmosphere of the Gas giants made of a combination of Hydrogen, Helium and some other gases? In such a case, wouldn't pure Hydrogen be lighter than the atmosphere? Also heating up Hydrogen to make it float can be done with RTGs so not really complicated in that regard.
News reports indicate that the Parker Solar Probe was expected to fly within 3.8 million miles of the Sun today. If the solar corona can extend up to five million miles from the Sun's surface and reach temperaturres of several million degreeas Fahrenheit, how is the probe able to get so close without being vaporized by the intense heat?
@@martinsoos The pressure is in fact the biggest problem (once the probe is past the entry into the athmosphere). It will eventually crush everything, air pockets or not. A gas giant doesn't have a surface as such, unless you count the core which might be solid. But the heat increases as the pressure increases.
To populate Mars safely why not send a few thousand fertilised human eggs ,with proper lab equipment , with the first settlers.? Twenty years later you have a young, acclimatised population.
I think a lot of people would object to the ethical aspect of doing that. Who knows how a fetus would develop in an alien environment. Different gravity would probably cause the bone density to vary, but mainly, it's just unknown.
Oh my God there is so much wrong with that idea. It's a good idea in a brainstorm because in brainstorms there's no bad ideas, but once you think beyond that you realize there's a lot wrong with it, including the ethical that was mentioned by @McCarthyJohn100
@garytheprogressivelibertar560 i didn't know that, but I looked it up after reading your comment. Interesting that it is like a liquid metal with some unique properties.
It's a big planet, it contains metallic hydrogen - but it's still a gas giant. In fact it is _the_ gas giant, as the term was invented to describe Jupiter and Saturn.
'can we send a mission into a gas giant?' stupidest question ever since we had done so already on purpose and once as a bonus action to discarding cassini into its gas giant. this channel is truly trash at this point
Happy holidays, Fraser!! 🎁
For space nerds an anime I would recommend is called planetes. It’s a somewhat realistic take on sci-fi, being set in the near future.
I need to rewatch
Planetes is probably my all time favorite space themed anime. The way they described gravity is phenomenal. The story, characters, and expressions have some touch of Japanese culture and may not be for everyone, but I thoroughly enjoyed.

"Canute" might be a good name for a Canadian Moon rover.

Dr. Stone was recommended to Fraser by his son and this is his first mention of it to us since he watched it. 18:16
On the drone issue: It's like these people have never looked up at the night sky before.
My mom is a christian endtimeser and shes been believing the cchemical con trail, drones are spying, aliens are demons kick for almost 20 years.

@McCarthyJohn100 the answer is simple: they want to regulate us, drone flyers, out of the skies.
To distract people from the "smooth transition" that is currently going on.

Dr. Stone is so fun, I love it.
The problem with the current drone hysteria is that bad legislation may be passed.

The Rover should be called the "The Looner" - how is that not obvious? lol
That’s pretty good!
That is a good name
Happy Holidays!
Dr Stone is The science based anime :D
A lot of laugh, and a good story too, I agree.

Orange orbs do not have any compliant lights, there is loads of footage of no airplanes.
the Wayne Gretzky Moon Rover of course!
Mass drone hysteria 😂
"can we send a mission INTO a gas giant?"
As long as Freebird is playing
I vote for Rover McRoverface.

What's love got to do with it? Does anybody really know what time it is?🤔
Here is the answer to all your questions: 42.
goddamn I love your content, and the volume of it too, good job. Thanks
9:52 - Unless a probe is made of unobtainium or something, it won't get very far down into a gas planet before being crushed by insane pressures.
That's really discriminatory toward Jovian pressure!

More importantly, how can we get a probe inside Uranus?
Relax
thatd be cool if there was some kind of competition to see how far uyou could get in jupiters atmosphere
News reports indicate that the Parker Solar Probe was expected to fly within 3.8 million miles of the Sun today.
If the solar corona can extend up to five million miles from the Sun's surface and reach temperaturres of several million degreeas Fahrenheit, how is the probe able to get so close without being vaporized by the intense heat?
I wonder if it can fit in Uranus.
What’s the best way to start a new country?
you could use a vacuum balloon to float in jupiters atmosphere
Brace yourself for Rover McRoverface. 😛
We put electronics in anti-aircraft shells in WW2 so why would gravity be a problem with a probe on a gas giant?
He didn't say that gravity was the problem. The heat and pressure caused by the gravity is.
@@arnelilleseter4755 Without any air pockets, pressure is not a problem for probes. Heat is the only real problem. How hot is the surface?
@@martinsoos The pressure is in fact the biggest problem (once the probe is past the entry into the athmosphere). It will eventually crush everything, air pockets or not.
A gas giant doesn't have a surface as such, unless you count the core which might be solid. But the heat increases as the pressure increases.
Couldn’t the shape of the craft allow it to float on Hydrogen? Like how we have much denser materials float on the ocean than water.
A boat made of metal floats because it displaces the water. If you fill it with water it will sink.
Just think of the advantages of the US having a space port in Greenland,
Canada has a space agency? Haha! Sorry Fraser.
Could life exist on Jupiter itself?
Dr Stone is a good recommendation but Planetes is more this channels speed and.. wow.. talk about accurate and near-now real
Boldly go into Jupiter. And back out, please.
A mission could go inside of Jupiter, BUT it ain't coming out
Canada plans to have crew on Artemis? Are they recruiting 7 year olds? Current good candidates will be retired before it flies.
Lol
Any spacecraft attempting to study jupiter's atmosphere would be doomed ! And will become metallic hydrogen real quick !
Sure you can send something into a gas giant, you just might not get it back.

Indeed. It's massively unethical!
You can’t be serious.
I think less than 20% would object to this proposal.
I think it’s called stupid.
Jupiter is just a big planet, your probably wrong calling it a gas giant.
Jupiter is a Big Planet, the biggest in the solar system but also is a gas giant.
More like a metallic hydrogen planet.
