I’m just trying to wrap my head around a column of molten rock several hundred thousand miles high raining down onto the surface of the planet in less than 24 hours. The sheer violence of such a thing is unimaginable.
This is by far the easiest to understand SpaceTime episode and most awesome topic yet. Imagine going back just shy of 54 years ago and telling someone not only are the moon and the Earth formed from the same two planets in the same orbit colliding, but in just _a single day_ there might have been _two_ moons, one even bigger. Absolutely mind blowing.
One correction: Neptune's moon is Triton. Titan is one of Saturn's moons.
This is my favorite episode to date. Beautifully done, Space Time team.
It's always a good day when Spacetime uploads.
I was surprised you mentioned the lunar seismometers. My grandfather helped build the radioisotope heater units for the seismometers that were installed during the Apollo 11 mission.
18:00 "Some animals do have hands large enough to swim in a gas. They're called birds." This just blew my mind. How did I never think of that? Haha.
It's crazy how such a random event possibly turned what may have remained a barren rock in space into the only known sanctuary for complex life in this universe. Pouring one out for Theia tonight.🙇♂
Thanks Matt. It was an honor. Looking forward to speaking again.
Moon pun: "I'm Buzz Aldrin, second man on the moon. Neil before me."
