The UNKNOWN Universe SPACE DOCUMENTARY 2023 We Are About to FIND PLANET 9 and the Spark of LIFE

 

The red planet, Mars, has been explored by robotic probes and landers. With digital technology, we can now see Mars in three-dimensional images. Mars is similar to Earth in being a rocky body, but it is smaller in diameter and has a thinner atmosphere. The temperature on Mars can vary greatly between day and night, and the air is mainly composed of carbon dioxide. Despite these facts, Mars is still an exciting vacation destination.

Mars has changing weather and seasons, with cirrus clouds forming during spring storms. Dust covers much of the surface, and dust devils can even form as small cyclones. The northern and southern regions of Mars have distinct features, including low plains, broad flats, and impact craters. Mars also has the largest volcano and the longest rift system in our solar system.

There might have been liquid water on Mars's surface millions of years ago, and there is a possibility of finding life on Mars. The Eagle Nebula, located thousands of light-years away, is an immense nebula where stars are formed. The explosion of a massive star triggered a chain reaction that led to the birth of new stars. The famous pillars of creation in the Eagle Nebula have been torn apart by cosmic radiation.

Neptune, the farthest planet in our solar system, has a methane-rich atmosphere and complex auroral northern lights. It is accompanied by rings and moons, with its largest moon, Triton, showing geological activity and geysers.

The moon contributes to maintaining the Earth's magnetic field and affects the Earth's biosphere. Birds and insects use the moon for navigation. The moon appears dull due to its coverage of grey dust created by meteor strikes, as it lacks an atmosphere. Moon dust is similar to sand or regolith. The dark spots on the moon were previously believed to contain water, but they are actually solidified lava basins created by asteroid impacts. The moon is still geologically active, with up to 10 moonquakes per day. The moon's landscape lacks variety, but it offers a magnificent view of the stars without atmospheric or light pollution.

The Mountains of Creation

The constellation Cassiopeia is about 6,500 light years away. The Heart and Soul Nebulae are neighboring nebulae with characteristic arrangements of stars. Radiation from these stars has cleared the surrounding stardust, resulting in the ignition of newborn stars. The Mountains of Creation are a formation in this region, with pink dots representing the pillars of creation. The stars in this area are yellow-white, and there are hundreds of them.

Venus: Earth's Sister Planet

Venus is Earth's sister planet, sharing similar physical properties. However, the surface of Venus cannot be seen due to its dense atmosphere. Venus has an average surface temperature of 867 degrees Fahrenheit and a surface air pressure equivalent to 4,000 feet below sea level on Earth. Venus has sulfuric clouds, acid rain, and active volcanoes. The planet's surface is mainly made of solidified lava shapes. Venus's surface is also filled with various formations, including high plains, large trenches, and steep-walled valleys.

The Mystery of Venus's Clouds

Thick layers of clouds on Venus may hide its greatest mystery, as some scientists speculate that these clouds could contain microorganisms. Further research and exploration are needed to uncover the truth.

Exploring the Solar System

While we live in a technologically advanced age, large portions of our solar system remain unexplored. The Kuiper Belt is a vast asteroid field located beyond Neptune, with over 70,000 objects. These objects are remnants from the formation of our solar system.
