The First REAL Images Taken From The Surface Triton

Welcome to the exciting world of space exploration! In this video, we're excited to announce that the first REAL images have been taken from the surface of Triton, the largest moon of Neptune!
This groundbreaking documentary film follows a team of scientists as they undertake the complex and dangerous journey to capture these stunning images. Not only are these images the first taken from Triton's surface, but they also reveal new information about the mysterious giant planet Jupiter and its moon, moon of moon, Triton!

[@TheNemorosa]

There have never been any images taken from the surface of Triton, because there has never been a lander sent to Triton. The only vehicle to visit, Voyager 2, passed Neptune and Triton in 1989 and never entered orbit, let alone sent a lander. Why are you making stuff up?

The images are not taken from the surface, they are computer generated from photos taken in the fly by. The relief is probably exaggerated.

[@W-H-O]

I don't understand how you can say an entire planet is experiencing a "season" (in this case summer), seasons on Earth are both winter and summer at the same time, it just depends on which hemisphere you're in. How could this be different on Titan? Maybe I'm missing something here, but this goes against everything I know about seasons.

[@W-H-O]

I asked ChatGPT and I was right, the entire planet cannot be in summer as this video leads us to believe. "....Its axial tilt, or the angle of its rotation axis relative to its orbit around Saturn, is similar to Earth's, at about 27 degrees. However, Titan's orbital period around Saturn is approximately 29.5 Earth years, which means that each season on Titan lasts for about 7.4 Earth years........as Titan orbits Saturn, one hemisphere will experience a more extended period of sunlight and warmth while the other hemisphere will be in darkness and cold. This results in the development of distinct seasonal patterns, including changes in cloud cover, precipitation, and surface features....."

[@Bloggerbear]

Yes, you have indeed missed a lot. And Chat-GPT is not really an expert in astronomy. Unfortunately, this video from Space Matters doesn't refer to the latest findings either. It's just a rough summary including a number of unproven assumptions. Regarding the seasons on such moons ... It is theoretically possible that there are small temperature changes as a moon slowly orbits the gas planet. For a while it is on the side facing away from the sun, and then on the side closest to the sun. But the distance of Neptune to the sun is very big, so the influence of the sun is very, very small.

[@Gwenny0612]

So learn something new..

[@ouknow1446]

If a planet does not have a tilt towards or away from its sun depending on its rotation then can it be said it is in perpetual summer or perhaps winter?

[@alicearcturus8610]

I'm glad the aliens lent us those cool pictures of the surface. Nice houses. I like how it sneaks in at night and gets so close to the sun.. That is when the surface ice thins and you can see the whales with just binoculars.

A couple things: carbon is a building block of life on Earth. This does not preclude it is a building block for all life in existence. Methane is a byproduct of decomposition and excretion yet those are not the only origins of methane. Lastly, there are many things right here on our planet that need financial input which would greatly increase stability here, decrease socioeconomic imbalances and environmental drain/destruction as opposed to spending exceptional amounts of money on things that won't resolve the problems we have created at home. So, as fascinating as it is to look to the stars the celestial bodies of our solar system and beyond, we need to focus on the here and now, cleaning up our messes, developing solutions to the social problems that plague our world, and ensuring that life on this planet continues in balance and harmony. What we can and may come to know about everything beyond Earth does nothing for our continuance or the continuance of all other life here.

I believe life exists on these “dead” planets. Without being able to fully explore them, we really don’t know. Life adapts & changes over billions of years; it’s quite possible there are ice beings.

This is totally unsubstantiated, but I think that the body that side-swiped earth was one of these moons that broke away from Jupiter during the grand tach in the early solar system. This would explain the water on earth’s surface. One way to investigate this would be to try to figure out the iron content of these icy moons. If they had iron cores, it could explain the amount of iron in our core. Either that, or our earth started as a small gas giant and ended up in the inner solar system during that time.
