Moons of the Outer Solar System

[@TheGunmanChannel]

I think your channel deserves more eyes on it. Brilliant videos.

[@luisga3709]

THIS IS THE BEST KZbin VIDEO EVER ABOUT THE MOONS!!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

[@ajhproductions2347]

My son loves your videos Christian, just like his dad! This one is particularly good for explaining the basics. Thanks again, Cheers!

I already knew most of this stuff, but you combined so much info and presented it so nicely it was like I was hearing for the first time again.

Thanks!

I loved the Death Star shot at the end what your trying to say is That’s no moon

This is awesome. I appreciate all your hard work putting it together. While I enjoy learning about planets of the solar system, I feel like moons don't get enough love they are endlessly fascinating. My favorite I guess is Io because I love volcanoes but it's really hard to choose.

[@VortexBricks]

Hondo Klaatu you have to choose the best one

[@paperweight57]

One of the *best* videos about our Solar System's moons I have ever seen. Great work!

[@YeenMage]

Technically, Mimas' geological activity shutting down does not make sense at all at the moment because its brother moon Enceladus is active despite the fact that Mimas is closer to Saturn's tugs. Also, as far as I know, only 4 objects in the Solar System are unambiguously Geologically Active - the Earth, Io, Enceladus and Triton. Titan and Europa are "big maybes" only.

[@zgalpaca6050]

Mimas also has a higher orbital eccentricity than Enceladus. it's quite strange that Mimas seems geologically inactive.

[@AM-ej1rs]

Your videos are the best choice for my free times on KZbin.

[@LaunchPadAstronomy]

Thanks so much, I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel!

[@leod-sigefast]

Thanks dude. This is an excellent video about the moons. I recently got into solar system moons and wanted to find out more.

[@DaftBrian1]

This is FASCINATING, especially the tidal heating!

[@christinamanzano4636]

Thanks for making so many awesome videos!

[@explorer1968]

Amen to further analysis of those enigmatic but fascinating alien moons!!

[@goteverlastinglife]

Awesome upload!!! One would not think a study of moons could be so intriguing. We must push on, and explore more. We have so much more to discover just inside the Oort Cloud!

[@ameliadiaz8040]

My favorite moons are Saturn's Enceladus, Tethys and Dione.

Lina Umpierre and what about me?

How have I not seen this channel earlier, this is awesome.

Thanks, I’m glad you dropped by!

Yeah, Mimas, the "death star" ;-)

[@Feelin2nice]

A truly outstanding video. You just picked up a new subscriber. I want to see what else you have in store for me. Great job!

[@yunassaxer7119]

thank you!

[@LaunchPadAstronomy]

My pleasure, thanks for watching!

[@GoodbyeStranger1]

Great video, can't believe it has so few views.

[@LaunchPadAstronomy]

Well thanks. It's one of my older ones so I hope I've gotten a little better since then :)

Is that your real picture? Wow.

Good video, enjoyed as always

Hahaha if you keep double clicking the left hand side of the screen at the word; "variety" with your thumb, (or finger or whatever, you decide!😁👍) you can make this video keep skipping back to the beginning to say, over and over again; "Moons literally come in a variety..." "Moons literally come in a variety..." "Moons literally come in a variety..." "Moons literally come in a variety..." "Moons literally come in a variety..." "Moons literally come in a variety..." "Moons literally come in a variety..." "Moons literally come in a variety..." "Moons literally come in a variety..." lol it's guaranteed to annoy your wife! (Or girlfriend.) And, it's just SO much fun, for some reason. 👍😇 (Hey! What ELSE is there to do during this pandemic shut-down, eh?) 🤣

[@dennishartnett684]

This is REALLY GOOD - and as for sparse viewers, better 5,000 intelligent ones than a million flat earthers. Your love for astronomy really shows here. How about one for Titan alone?

[@Itsthatoneguy371]

Awesome ending

[@PGSL-r5n]

Will I need to pack some sun screen for Triton's South pole, if I were to take a vacation there?

[@Crallux]

Io is being bullied so much by Jupiter, Europa and Ganymede that Io is boilling inside.

[@darth856]

Great video

[@pineforest1442]

Wait... how do you know all these measurements of planetary density? I mean, I know it’s not as simple as figuring out the density of small objects so, how?

[@Dragrath1]

Last I checked Mars's moons are very unlikely to be captured objects given their circular orbits and probable phyllosilicate composition which seem to chemically match Mars. We can't rule out an asteroid origin completely but it would be very hard to get such a moon into Callisto is interesting as it seems to have formed late in the solar system but it is the third most massive moon after Titan Ganymede really is interesting with its magnetosphere It is worth nothing that Triton probably formed closer to the Sun as we think Uranus and Neptune were likely flung into the outer solar system along with the "orbitally hot" portions of the Kuiper belt which have inclined eccentric orbits such as the plutinos and the scattered disk. An interesting result not known at the time of the video is the discovery that many of Saturn's moons and its ring system formed geologically "recently" within the last billion or so years which has potentially staggering implications for habitability of the Saturnian system. Mimas Enceladus Tethys Dione and Rhea and perhaps even Titan itself share the orbital plane of the ring system (which is inclined relative to Saturn's axis of rotation) and have the same general surface composition (but not total density) and for the most part have nonuniform gravity i.e. mass distribution and a lack of orbital interaction history suggesting they formed from ring material drifting outside Saturn's Roche limit accreting around denser rocky components of the ring systems parent body a process which is ongoing today according to Cassini's grande finale.

[@joew4931]

Some of these outer moons might make good gas stations for future Starships

[@Austin_Schulz]

Water + Carbon does not necessarily translate to the creation of life. If that were the case, we'd be able to create new life forms artificially simply by replicating those conditions. Many scientists (especially amateur scientists) are so excited and eager to discover alien life that they never seem to focus on this and determine what DOES create life.

[@Jellyman1129]

You forgot Pluto’s five moons. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@HIPPYGOATWITHCHEESE]

Mimas looks exactly like the death star

[@LaunchPadAstronomy]

I hadn’t noticed ;)

[@minguslingus]

Does Titan have a magnetic field?

[@VortexBricks]

I can’t see it but I think I have it

[@rosaparksbaby]

This is my science and I have no idea what any of the questions are

[@madpanoverviewed4254]

Sometimes im a moon

[@iapetus6110]

bruh u forgot to talk about the rest of the major moons of saturn its so annoying when they only just talk about Mimas Iapetus titan and enceladus

[@ProximaCentauri88]

Is there a moon that orbits a larger moon? Is it possible?

[@Foxxnioxx]

It is possible, but very rare. There are a few asteroids with "submoons," but we have not yet observed any moons of planets to have moons of their own.

[@einzelfeuer_2855]

Typically the planet will pull a smaller body like that into itself. If not then it's because the moon is so large that it would no longer be in a long term stable orbit with the planet. Supposedly it is possible but it has not yet been observed.

[@ProximaCentauri88]

@@Foxxnioxx I actually tried doing this in my pocket galaxy. Either the moon of the planet's moon makes it into its second moon or it crashes into the planet.
