Great pacing and super clear framing. Tiny science nugget, Titan is the only moon in our solar system with a dense atmosphere, and it acts like a chemical lab powered by sunlight and Saturns magnetosphere.
The solar system occupies just a tiny space in the cosmos, yet we have been surprised time after time by the new, strange things we have found. Imagine what discoveries are out there. Thanks for bringing these ne discoveries to usevery day, Anton!
Anton, you're a true G man. Thanks for keeping us updated all these years.
I did a science fair project in the 80s on the occultation of Saturn by a star. Trying to count the individualized rings. Jesus wept what a project
All the time I have been interested in astronomy (>60 years) I have read that the rings of Saturn are "young". The main two reasons given being:- A. The ice of the ring particles is too bright. That is not old enough to have been darkened by cosmic rays. B. Due to gravitational interactions and collisions the orbits of the ring particles are decaying and they are falling inward until they experience atmasthric drag and fall into Saturn. I have always understood that the rings are 'a few tens of millions' of years old and will last a similar amount of time in to the future. Therefore the rings were created relatively recently when a former moon of Saturn came within the gravitational limit and broke up.
Very interesting. The imaga of Hyperion at 7:45 is actually a 3D image. I checked it with my green/red glassis
I like how on the cosmic scale, 100 million can be pretty young.
In part of my 1987 dissertation I discovered that the rings of Saturn must be less than 100 million years old - and this is written up in the journal Icarus (1990). So a young age for the rings is not new. By the way, this was done photometrically so it was not just a theory.
Fascinating; a great lesson and reminder how dynamic even our own solar system is. The ancients saw ordered precision, but looking closer gives insight into a far more complex pattern of very old, relatively slow events that are still playing out. Many thanks!
7:40 good thing I always keep my 3D glasses handy.
