Falling Into Mercury (Simulation)

Realistic simulation of what you would see if you'd fall into the planet Mercury. This was made using the software Space Engine with a lot of editing and other stuff.

Something about the surface of Mercury just feels so despondent. Unlike the other planets, it's just completely dead. Still. No windstorms, no aurora, just miles of barren grey rock, stretching both back into the past and forward into the future for what is essentially an eternity. Even on the Moon there's at least the Earth in the sky and occasional eclipses; but Mercury's only constant companion is the near-static Sun that super-heats its surface, the same entity that will eventually cause its end. It's just baffling that such a large celestial object; a so-called heavenly body, could be so... quiet.

It's a bit odd how the Sun seems smaller than I expected from Mercury's surface. Oh sure it's definitely bigger, but from all the other photos and models of Mercury I would have expected it to take up half the sky or something. That's what always fascinates me about simulation videos like these; they really help give me a greater sense of scale and proportion when it comes to space objects.

[@Stargaze_youtube]

Indeed. People often think it should take half the sky or more since it's the closest planet to the Sun, but it is still pretty far. The Sun appears ∼3x larger than it does from Earth, not much more than that!

[@Jamieboi1989]

Aye! If it were as big as taking up half the sky then I am sure our great big firey friend wouldve reeled in our lil planet and had her for lunch anyway! Not to mention it would probably also end up looking like a mini star due to burning up for being so close! XD

[@SeanBordelon]

Most extrasolar systems we see, there are always planets way closer to their star than Mercury is to the sun. I wonder if there could have been another planet closer that was destroyed?

[@philosotree5876]

[@etyhernayanti8636]

I just searched "falling into mercury" at the right time

[@TheLevrion]

There are true double sunrises (& sunsets!) on Mercury, but only if you are at the right longitudes. Here the sun rises, sinks back, then rises again. Then, at sunset, it sets, comes back, then sets properly. At other longitudes, 90deg away from the previous, you get double noons, where the sun passes overhead, stops & backtracks, then resumes its passage westward. Likewise there are double midnights, but there’s nothing dramatic to see there. This is all due to Mercury’s eccentric orbit & rotational locking, whereby it rotates three times for every two orbits of the sun. Its rotational speed is constant, but its orbital velocity changes greatly. When it is closest to the sun its orbital velocity makes a greater contribution the the sun’s apparent motion than its rotation does, and in the opposite direction. Owing to rotational locking, the longitudes where these phenomena are seen do not change.

[@lelouchvibritannia7809]

Tbf, same on Earth depending on where you are. A couple happened in Iceland not too long ago

[@Youre_dumb]

In other words, mercury does little donuts on its orbital trajectory

[@antarasinha8639]

A great explanation but if we had seen it through moving graphic images or animation, we would have much clarity on the same. Thank you so much.

[@ahmadsantoso9712]

* sips my drink *

[@GraniteStateVictoria]

That seems to happens also if you're a few miles from one of the poles, the sun sets, then as it just finishes setting, temporarily ever-so-slightly rises again before sinking, and then sunrise you get a brief teaser, it sets again,then rises for real

[@starstrudel8417]

Something I love about your videos is you play the most appropriate music that invites awe and contemplation and sometimes fear. With the soft subtitles, the experience is truly immersive.

Then, at sunset, it sets, comes back, then sets properly.

[@mityaboy4639]

On Mercury in the twilight zone there is an area where the temperature is a nice 25 C - and given the rotational speed, you could (in theory) walk and remain in that temperature zone. its an interesting place

[@Stargaze_youtube]

Yes that narrow twilight zone is very interesting! You better have a good timing to follow it

there's one of the best asimov's tales set on mercury, "runaround", I was a child when I first read it (kids used to read very early back then). I still remember the details of the story, the setting, the scorching hot as soon as the human stepped out from the rock's shadow...

Do a moon video next, but could you do an Earth to Moon one, rather than just a fall on the surface? If takeoff/landing is too complex, maybe do a transition from LEO to lunar orbit (the one used by Michael Collins).
