About cave art. Our ancient ancestors didn't only paint in caves. There are also ancient paintings found on cliff faces above ground. The reason such paintings are more common in caves, is probably because any art that was painted above ground would be more exposed to erosion from weather.

"Hey Zork, we should send a manned mission to the 3rd planet to check for life!"
"Mkkth, are you joking?! 80% of that planet is covered in molten ice! No way life is possible there!"
"Yeah, I guess you're right, Zork."

Walmart as a habitat. That's both saddening and... expected. All manner of creatures live in there...

That bit about the Mars dust is super cool. I’m curious…between how much lower the Martian gravity is for dust and debris to escape from, the comparative lack of a thick atmosphere to slow down ejecta via drag, and the ridiculous size of Olympus Mons, I wonder if in the past that supervolcano to put Earth’s to shame just straight up blasted volcanic ash (as in fine dust…) forcefully enough that a lot of it never came back down. Perhaps periodically over eons. We know that this has possibly happened even with terrestrial volcanoes that have way more gravity and air resistance to stop things from leaving….

Had no clue that "Zodiacal Light" was a phenomenon until you explained it. Did a double take, as I just finished Alastair Reynolds's Inhibitor trilogy, in which that is the name of one of the prominent ships.

Hi John, I just want to say thank you for using your own time to produce amazing content for all of us to see! I have recently started a new career in Industrial Radiography using radioactive sources as I love science, the cosmos and how things work in general and your enthusiasm in what you do fuels up my enthusiasm even more! The Martian dust scenario is one of the most interesting things I’ve heard about so far and quite eerie at the same time!

Some scientist called Dr Brian May wrote his PhD on zodiacal light. I think he was in a band too.

I love your Top 10 videos! I was worried for a second, you'd abandon them. The only top 10 lists on the Internet that's not clickbait. Thank you!

[zam]

I wander through many various kinds of science/space videos...
...I must say, I really enjoy everytime I find new ones you made
That sense of wonder that seems infused in each ☺️

[alfredsutton]

Very interesting, John. Ten interesting shorts in one upload. You out do yourself week after week. Great way to end my week!

[wdavis]

JMG's cadence is half the reason why I watch these 😂👍👍

[kenbeek]

Very important episode, John, I'm sure you got a lot of minds thinking about these things, well done.

[PsRohrbaugh]

I got chills listening to your first example. Last night "The Why Files" covered the theory that Mars used to be inhabited but was destroyed by nuclear war. Nukes powerful enough to strip a planet of it's atmosphere would throw a lot of dust into space...

[phynx-victumterra]

Always a good day when JMG uploads a new video, a good day indeed!

[brandonchambers]

Happy Friday everyone!! Thanks for the video!!

I love getting a notification from this channel I have this queued up for when I go to sleep later. Thanks JMG

I read the article written by the guy who found the Giant Lacewing. He found it clinging to the side of one of the Walmart semi trucks....that is part of why they aren't certain of its current range. They don't know how long it had been riding along.

[Jay_in_Japan]

I just woke up, and first thing I see is that John Michael Godier posted! Oh boy! Perfect timing

[sookendestroy]

A really interesting thing with the lacewings. Theres this giant almost cicada/locust looking bug that went extinct in my area decades ago, the only kicker is that I've seen two of them within the last 20 years end up under a table in my shed. These weird giant bugs that hop around in the night time but hide in the day not moving. I'd assume it's due to being near a cool sheltered stream that they likely frequent

[AlexanderTheGreat]

I love your channel man. Thankyou for everything you do
