The Bizarre Characteristics of Titan | Our Solar System's Moons: Titan

Everything you could want to know about Saturn's biggest moon, Titan. In this video we go through Titan's lakes, its volcanoes, atmosphere, and everything else that makes Titan so special.

Please note that this is a reupload, as the original was taken down through a DMCA, but a lot of people have requested for me to upload it again. I've gone through all the footage and switched out anything that might have a hint of copyright problems so hopefully this will stay up this time.

Good news! This is the reupload for the Titan video that was taken down about 3 months ago. I've gone through all the footage and switched out anything that might have a hint of copyright issues so hopefully this will stay up this time. I never did find out why it was taken down the first time. A lot of you have been asking for this to be reuploaded and the channel has grown a lot in three months so I'm sure some of you new subscribers won't have seen this before. Thanks!

NASA just chose its next mission, Dragonfly, which will fly through Titan's atmosphere as well as land and scan the surface for evidence of life!

Imagine running away from lava, except that instead of incinerating you, it would freeze you solid... That is @#$%ing fascinating!

[Jona]

Due to the low gravity and dense atmosphere, it would be incredibly easy to send a flying drone to titan. It would cost such little energy to keep flying that it could get all its power from a nuclear isotope and keep flying for many years. It could probably scan the entire surface in great detail.

How fascinating to just think that as we move on obsessed with our own lives, there are rivers flowing and storms happening, as real as our own life, in other worlds far far away from us.

[LeoStaley]

Oh man, I would love a series on the solar systems moons!

[IreneSalmakis]

My imagination has always been captivated by the idea of organisms existing in a hydrocarbon medium developing in Titan's seas. I love to think about truly alien forms of life we might encounter.

Also the magic island looks a lot like a sand bar.

I asked my science teacher in grade 7 if a moon can have an atmosphere... she said no. but i always believed :)

The thing that fascinates me the most about Titan is that it’s not only geologically active, but it appears to also have geological cycles similar to Earth Systems (I guess we would call them “Titan Systems” in this case), which arguably can be seen as a sign of life. The fact that Titan also has an atmosphere reminiscent of the early Earth also further suggests microbial life. We’re living in a really exciting time in astronomy and I hope the Dragonfly mission is fruitful!

Dude you video's, level of detail, content, your narrating and everything are just absolutely insane. Amazing work man. You put large scale production shows to shame. I would rather watch your content anytime compared to any of the big production companies. Keep it up.

I'm very happy that Astrum community is increasing and thank you Alex for more and more enthusiastic informative content. I'm very excited about stand alone missions for both Titan and Europa.

[KarbineKyle]

I'd LOVE to actually go to Titan, and walk on its surface! It would be such a mysterious and fascinating world, with so many things to explore! I wouldn't know where to start! What a beautiful moon! Thank you, Astrum!

[thesolbusaur]

I was amazed when you mentioned the need for merely some warmth and an oxygen mask to be able to go to the surface. Usually you can't go anywhere, outside Earth, without a space suit, so this was a pleasant surprise

[Schizniit]

Love how you go as far to demonstrate the density on other objects. Really goes that extra mile to put into perspective what it may be like out there.

The animation of Saturn in the sky 4:40-5:00 is so beautiful that I had to watch it several times over. Sublime.

[jhaz]

Been watching a bunch of your videos. Amazing content. Favorite YouTuber for sure. Keep up the great work.

[elin_lyze]

Just yesterday I was talking about what our favorite celestial objects are with a good friend and I got totally hyped up over Titan! Thank you for your videos and research :)

[Extraterrestrial-With-A-Finger]

Very rare you hear how passionate the narrator is in what they're talking about... Thank you again!

Amazing video! Was fortunate to catch the first time and it's just as good the second time. Thank you again for all the hard work that you put into your short docs. It shows & is extremely entertaining! Looking forward to see the rest of your docs. In this series...

[jameschrisp]

Fantastic presentation as always, Alex. Extremely informative. Thanks!

Your videos are so awesome! I used to read astronomical magazines and am still interested in astronomy, reading stuff on the internet sometimes, but you always feature some videos, pictures and information I've never seen before.
