Hi everyone, Alex here, welcome to the remaster of the video that made this channel possible! It was my first ever video to take off. I've come a long way since then, and wanted to revisit this amazing planet with updated visuals and audio. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who joined Patreon. Your membership is what allows me to keep Astrum what it is, and not what the algorithm looks for. bit.ly/4anEb5u
Many years ago a friend of mine got himself a telescope. When he first trained it on Mars, the planet was experiencing a global sand storm. He described it as an orange fuzz ball. We both got better views later, and could make out features like the polar ice cap. I'm totally glad I got that opportunity.
The Martian regolith is not as big as 'sand', it is a very fine dust, like Lunar dust, finer than the finest bread flour. This is why the incredibly thin Martian air can blow the utterly toxic dust all over the planet in Mars' renowned global dust storms. Mars' air is SO thin, that a 60 mph wind wouldn't be able to blow an oak leaf. The reason it can blow the regolith all over the planet is because that regolith is as fine as cigarette smoke when disturbed.
Mars will always be near and dear to me. The landing of the Pathfinder/Sojourner mission was a big part of my first date with my now-husband, and sometimes I go back and look at the little collage I made - this was the 90s, it must have taken me hours to find and print out two dozen different images of the rover and of Mars. Good times! I'll always be fascinated by this planet and your videos in particular have been a joy for me. Whatever you choose to remaster next, I'm here for it!
The only thing I regret while watching your videos is not having a 70" 8K TV, and a surround audio system. Man, what an experience your videos would be.... Great work, as always, Astrum!
I took your advise and got off the iPad, turned on the TV (55" qhd+, 4k, cuz that's all I have) and got my Sony XM1000 headphones on (late at night for surround speakers). Made a HUGE difference to the experience..❤ Thanks.
Whenever I think of how Earth looks to other planets, I think of Carl Sagan’s “pale blue dot” quote, and everything in my life feels so small and meaningless. Instead of feeling depressed or horrified, it calms me, and helps me distress a little just knowing how insignificant we are in the grand scheme of the universe.
The grand scale of the universe makes me reflect back on what we call life in utter amazement, it really is a miracle. It makes me want to work for a better future to uphold this mantle of life. And maybe one day we'll be lucky enough to see it touch the stars.
Then you should watch Sagan's, "Cosmos". Because in it, he explains why the Universe, and everything in it, including ourselves, matters to, 'we humans', it matters to, "Us"!
Love the remasters for this series. We know so much more than we did back then and it gives you a chance to make a video of higher quality. I’m pretty new to this channel but it’s become one of my favorites and I’ve gone back and watched your older videos, especially about stars. I find stars and light to be very fascinating. It’s amazing too the images we can get now from Hubble, modern ground telescopes, rovers, and probes. We can see the wonders from space from our own little neighborhood here around the sun all the back to the distant past of the universe. There’s so much beauty on this planet that it’s a marvel to see the beautiful features of places we most likely won’t get the opportunity to go to. Keep up the good work
Thank you Astrum team!! The way you communicate astronomy is second to none! And I'm sure many enjoy the podcast but wish it were longer lol. I personally use it while I drift off to sleep. And the soft music you play at the end of the cast is perfect 👍
im 52 and i dont think i have 20 years left in me, i do hope in my lifetime i see human on mars seeing how space exploration has moved along in my life, seeing mankind land on mars would be the pinnacle
Damn, not making it to 72? That's kind of grim. Or at least it seems that way to me, as my dad actually _is_ 72, is more physically in shape than I am despite being a little over twice my age, and it doesn't seem like his health is going to fail any time soon. Hell, his _mom_ is still alive and will be turning *103* in November. So I hope you were just being pessimistic and that outlook is not due to an actual medical condition.
@@heinrichagrippa5681 ye im just realist, im not in best of condition and in my family men dont make it past 65 - and when you think thats 4 brothers, 2 grandparents and parent only 1 brother left and he is 62
11:48 That particular Dust Devil was about the same height as an average tornado here on Earth which they can get over a mile tall or 1.609344 Kilometers.
And I'd rather get hit by the Martian tornado, as the low air pressure would make it no stronger than a slight breeze. But I'm guessing we all knew that already..
My favorite fact about Mars is the crater that's so deep the atmospheric pressure gets high enough during certain times of year for liquid water to be stable at the bottom. Hellas Planitia I think is what it's called.
Like when he's beeting his dawg during the last 5 mintues? He really lays into that dawg, closed fist punches right to that dawg mouth. He kept screaming at him, calling him "shifty" and "smarmy" and "judgmental". I don't think that dawg is gonna make it through this one, in 4K you can really see it in his dawg eyes. He's prayin' his little dawgy prayers for tha sweet release of death.
That's if you actually have a monitor that can do 4k. If you choose 4k on a 1080p monitor it'll be a super tiny bit better but nowhere near actual 4k quality.
Don't forget that Mars changes its axis every so often, drastically. It sometimes flips to a sideways axis like Uranus. This process is infact what directly led to the rapid stripping of its atmosphere.
Thank you so much Alex! Your presentations are always wonderful and your enthusiasm is infectious. I need to mention a fact that is never covered in the presentations of Mars in anyone's video but is truly astonishing. There is so much water on Mars that if the surface water was melted including the hidden glaciers it would comprise an ocean of about hundred and 15 feet deep over the entire planet. Could you please and a feature video give this theme sometime? From Wikipedia:A bundant water ice is also present beneath the permanent carbon dioxide ice cap at the Martian south pole. More than 5 million km3 of ice have been detected at or near the surface of Mars, enough to cover the whole planet to a depth of 35 meters (115 ft).[13] Even more ice might be locked away in the deep subsurface.
Does anyone else get a feeling us humans once occupied Mars but because we destroyed the planet we moved to Earth? I don't know but Mars gives me a vibe of what Earth could look like if we are not careful
It does, but also, unlike Earth, the eccentricity of its orbit also has a big effect. These add together to make the southern hemisphere have much more extreme seasons.
I'd like you to compare the challenges of building a community on Mars compared to a community on our Moon - excluding the time and expense of travel, but including the dangers to the crew in Earth-Mars trips, such as radiation and long-term weightlessness or spin gravity.
Great video as always! But can you please do metric units aswell going forward? a video conversion would be nice, because which European in their right mind does know what 38000 or 120000 ft is in meters or km... (i know now, because i looked it up, but also i now am writing this essay to 'complain' about the units you use.) really just a feature request comment if nothing else.
@@abstraqtphilosophy7357damn, that really hurt your feelings, huh? It's not that deep, go outside, find a hobby. Getting mad at RUclips comments really shows unhealthy behavior.
Nice to see a glacial form get a spotlight, even if only an image. It was videos like yours that got me to seriously consider planetary sciences as a direction I may want to go in, and now I study Mars full time! Great to see this re-make showing off the best planet in our solar system.

The thumbnail makes it look like Mars has a giant cyst. A cut in the middle to separate the skin and expose the sack. Squeeze out some of the contents to relieve the pressure. Then carve around the sides to listen the sack wall . Keep going until you reach the bottom. Pull the wall sack out and reveal the bottom that is attached to connective tissue. Use a sharp blade to work the bottom from the natural tissue. Flush with saline and stitch up. There will be a temporary divot under the skin but that will fill in with healthy tissue in a couple months.mars’ system needs to be popped and maybe life will spew out of it in the form of bacteria😊
I think we like Mars only for the fact that it's the closest terrestrial planet that wont immediately kill us upon landing. I personally love Venus. I love your videos, keep up the good work! much love

The best possible place on mars is worse than trying to live on the worst possible place on earth. Let’s stick to living here and just send billionaires to Mars.
Breath taking sights. Something internally still yerns to go there and experience it. However, this is as close as we can get and I feel fortunate to have lived in a time where we can get this level of access to another world.
The CCTV cameras might well be capturing images at higher resolution, but they get downsampled and compressed when they're stored on the security system's hard drive.
I love your channel, I love the videos, the information and your voice the words of presentation. It is so fascinating. Every video ist a work of art in science.
My favorite fact, which I just learned, thanks Alex, is the reason Mars has that color. It also got my imagination zooming thinking about the megastructures that had to have been there to create that much rust. The Fe was mined from that used to be Grand Canyon size, crevasse Valles Marineris. That's where all the oxygen hiding. When we go back and start building again, more iron we use, easier it'll be to breathe. Now that's one helluvan incentive right there. Lol
This fact is even better. Some rocks/sand have iron in it's chemical composition. And when you expose those rocks to oxygen the iron "rusts" and the rocks/sand turn red...just like here on earth (iron is the most abundant metal in the crust). If you've ever seen a place with reddish sand and/or rocks...those rusted and turned red, just like on Mars. No megastructures needed...you just need Iron to be the most abundant metal in the crust...and on Mars, it's very abundant.
A deep dive into the memories of Mars. We all have memories. A beginning and an end. So will Mars. And that alone proves our existence. I just was browsing through this channel while partially listening to the world as we know it might not exist or something from this channel and just wanted to leave this comment.
I love hiking in mountains and canyons. The beauty is awe inspiring. My dream would be to hike on Mars, if somehow I could survive without a spacesuit. The geology looks amazing.
It would be 3 times easier to climb mountains, since your weight will be about 1/3rd. And you could carry 3 times more mass in a backpack and the backpack's weight would feel the same. You can boil water just by opening a bottle...and you can drink boiling water without burning. Or operate a steam engine without a fire...you just need liquid water, voila you can drive steam powered turbines, engines, etc.
Another wonderful and interesting vid. You make it easy for people with no knowledge to understand the bigger picture. If I could choose a remastered vid it would be the moons of the two gas giants, Jupiter and Saturn. These along with Mars have been touted as the most likely place for human settlement.
Why does Curiosity and its contributions seem to be overlooked in Mars videos, including this one? I spent eight years on the Curiosity MSL operations team, and she collected a lot of fantastic images and data.
Why is it you are so good at explaining/teaching the things I think kids should be learning at school...???!!! But... Thank you for, well, being you!!!
Charon and Pluto. You know what all your videos are good. Even thoe Charon and Pluto are now classed as a celestrial body? They are still part of our solar system. I wouldn't mind an update or refresher, including whats around them. I enjoy all your videos with well-educated theories and facts.
Tremendous video Alex. - another triumph. I need to see what’s happening with my notifications as I haven’t seen a video of yours for ages. Flippin algorithm ! Your videos I view as part of my staple RUclips diet… so why haven’t I been seeing them. Grrr !
My favorite fact about mars is how it formed. Its not mentioned in this video but explains why mars is so small, never had a chance of being geologically active, retaining a magnetosphere, and losing the pressure needed to sustain liquid water. I am glad you stated that Mars lost that ability 4 billion years ago, shortly after the formation of the solar system. I encourage viewers to read about Jupiters Grand Tac and learn how Saturn saved all of the inner solar systems chance for existence. Our understanding and technology would have to be at the point of terraforming in order to visit and stay on mars. We can’t and or ignore our own plants climate crisis, starting here on earth would be a more logical approach to envisioning that future. To be a realist, if we don’t, we and our beautiful home wont be around before that realization can happen.
The transit of Venus I saw was amazing because I was sitting in a bar watching on my tablet, thinking about the guy who sailed to another country for months to see a transit, and died before he got there.
I cant even remember when I first found this channel… gotta be close to 10 yrs now, I have always enjoyed all your videos, as have my kids. As far as a remake idk maybe either a Cassini, Pluto, or Jupiter remaster… idc i will watch them all. Has there been anything news in regard to New Horizons?

Breath taking sights. Something internally still yerns to go there and experience it. However, this is as close as we can get and I feel fortunate to have lived in a time where we can get this level of access to another world.
We get 4k photos of mars but when we need to identify a criminal we get 1 mega pixel
😂 the cops are probably looking for blocky Minecraft criminals
The CCTV cameras might well be capturing images at higher resolution, but they get downsampled and compressed when they're stored on the security system's hard drive.
I love your channel, I love the videos, the information and your voice the words of presentation. It is so fascinating.
Every video ist a work of art in science.
Best astronomy videos on RUclips.
My favorite fact, which I just learned, thanks Alex, is the reason Mars has that color. It also got my imagination zooming thinking about the megastructures that had to have been there to create that much rust. The Fe was mined from that used to be Grand Canyon size, crevasse Valles Marineris. That's where all the oxygen hiding. When we go back and start building again, more iron we use, easier it'll be to breathe. Now that's one helluvan incentive right there. Lol
This fact is even better. Some rocks/sand have iron in it's chemical composition. And when you expose those rocks to oxygen the iron "rusts" and the rocks/sand turn red...just like here on earth (iron is the most abundant metal in the crust).
If you've ever seen a place with reddish sand and/or rocks...those rusted and turned red, just like on Mars.
No megastructures needed...you just need Iron to be the most abundant metal in the crust...and on Mars, it's very abundant.
I love that picture of Earth and the Moon. Like you said everyone, ever is in it. Also, everywhere we have walked.
A deep dive into the memories of Mars. We all have memories. A beginning and an end. So will Mars. And that alone proves our existence. I just was browsing through this channel while partially listening to the world as we know it might not exist or something from this channel and just wanted to leave this comment.
how humbling space is. if only everyone were to share this perspective.
I love the spiral pattern, it is the pattern that is constantly repeated in the Milky Way
I love hiking in mountains and canyons. The beauty is awe inspiring. My dream would be to hike on Mars, if somehow I could survive without a spacesuit. The geology looks amazing.
It would be 3 times easier to climb mountains, since your weight will be about 1/3rd.
And you could carry 3 times more mass in a backpack and the backpack's weight would feel the same.
You can boil water just by opening a bottle...and you can drink boiling water without burning. Or operate a steam engine without a fire...you just need liquid water, voila you can drive steam powered turbines, engines, etc.
You have the most beautiful narrating voice on RUclips.
Yes!! I've been waiting for this for years!
Another wonderful and interesting vid. You make it easy for people with no knowledge to understand the bigger picture.
If I could choose a remastered vid it would be the moons of the two gas giants, Jupiter and Saturn. These along with Mars have been touted as the most likely place for human settlement.
Thanks Alex. Happy to see all your video's on solar system bodies remastered.
As always, a pleasure to watch and listen too. Thanks Alex
I vividly remember your 1st video - this follow up is highly appreciated
I enjoy learning about other celestial objects .
Why does Curiosity and its contributions seem to be overlooked in Mars videos, including this one? I spent eight years on the Curiosity MSL operations team, and she collected a lot of fantastic images and data.
The selfie of all of us on the planet Earth is so profound
This video is great if you know nothing about Mars. A great starting point for fresh minds
Noice one team, lovely upload and um, arousing thumbnail
I like Mars. Alot!. But this video make me love it even more.
Why is it you are so good at explaining/teaching the things I think kids should be learning at school...???!!!
But... Thank you for, well, being you!!!
Videos of home make me happy.
Fascinating!
Is there enough info for a doc on Neptune's moon, Triton?
Charon and Pluto. You know what all your videos are good. Even thoe Charon and Pluto are now classed as a celestrial body? They are still part of our solar system. I wouldn't mind an update or refresher, including whats around them. I enjoy all your videos with well-educated theories and facts.
I love the blue sunsets.
I absolutely love your videos .
you deserve every subscriber you have
Tremendous video Alex. - another triumph. I need to see what’s happening with my notifications as I haven’t seen a video of yours for ages. Flippin algorithm ! Your videos I view as part of my staple RUclips diet… so why haven’t I been seeing them. Grrr !
kinda looks ultra peaceful ..no garbage no deformations just pure creation undisturbed
4:33 that gravity representation was great!!
this channel is way way better than What If
My favorite fact about mars is how it formed. Its not mentioned in this video but explains why mars is so small, never had a chance of being geologically active, retaining a magnetosphere, and losing the pressure needed to sustain liquid water. I am glad you stated that Mars lost that ability 4 billion years ago, shortly after the formation of the solar system. I encourage viewers to read about Jupiters Grand Tac and learn how Saturn saved all of the inner solar systems chance for existence.
Our understanding and technology would have to be at the point of terraforming in order to visit and stay on mars. We can’t and or ignore our own plants climate crisis, starting here on earth would be a more logical approach to envisioning that future. To be a realist, if we don’t, we and our beautiful home wont be around before that realization can happen.
Love the smile I hear in your voice!
i like how you explained the things etc., videography si astounding. it can be use in schools
Alex! The best youtuber on Earth!
love the shot of earth from Mars 🙂
Thank you, Alex! 🟠
Super interesting as always, Alex. Thanks.
That spider section was uncalled for. You know what you did.
The transit of Venus I saw was amazing because I was sitting in a bar watching on my tablet, thinking about the guy who sailed to another country for months to see a transit, and died before he got there.
I cant even remember when I first found this channel… gotta be close to 10 yrs now, I have always enjoyed all your videos, as have my kids. As far as a remake idk maybe either a Cassini, Pluto, or Jupiter remaster… idc i will watch them all. Has there been anything news in regard to New Horizons?
Mars, the most interesting planet of the century, if you ask me. Could watch a 3 hour special of this one.
A rover exploring the bottom of Valles Marineris would be awesome.
And you made everyone on this photo look so fine. Nice1.
Truly engaging video. Thanks.
