@Dragrath1 2 роки тому
Yep there is much to learn even from "old" MESSNGER data one fascinating paper a bit over a year ago(or is it 2 now?) was for instance able to make sense of Mercury's chaotic terrains and potentially answering how it became so puny yet dense. It implicates 4.1 billion years of sublimation depleting the planets crust/mantle of volatile metals and gases by noting the terrain structure being similar to landscapes on Mars or Earth where volatiles locked underground revolatilize. If verified then Mercury of today is just the backed out husk of the original Mercury which naturally raises implications for close in exoplanets but that is just one potential factor among many. Mercury for instance still has its own magnetosphere as its liquid outer core slowly continuous to precipitate out.

Love this channel! I especially like the real photos and labels identifying what we are seeing.

Your seeing what they want you to see, fact is our minds can not conceive the actual view it is beyond our scope of understanding, go buy a 14 inch refractor scope, look at the closest star than look at NASA's star, completely different , the universe is literally alive , we are called the human experiment, created by beings so far advanced we can not even comprehend it, extreme ancient beings , that have no expiration date, and no beginning, our program is nearing the end game.

What took so long? We thought you were going to get colonies set up in the 80's. And no. Have you seen the size of our craters? Get real. Bob's living off the tourism. Real earthling space junk. First of its kind. Send more.
