  • Mars has huge dark areas that are even visible from telescopes on Earth, and yet not much is known with regards to how they form. In this video I take a look at the characteristics of the most iconic dark patch of Mars then I talk about whether or not these dark spots form due to winds, elevation or dust devils. Overall there are some quite puzzling problems that these dark spots reveal.

    Hey Dreksler, you were one of my biggest inspirations to start an astronomy CZcams channel. Thank you for the awesome content you have made over the years, the calm pace of your videos will never get boring!

    Incredible breakdown of martian geology, I love spending time exploring the planet with interactive maps by myself, and then watch your videos for better understanding of the formations I can see in there, its fascinating stuff. Thank you for these videos.

    What If a Super-Earth replaced Mars and a Sub-Earth replaced Venus

    • @jesusvieira7180
      @jesusvieira7180 Před měsícem +3

      Then probably both could have been inhabited. At least the super Earth

    • @planetarystargazer
      @planetarystargazer Před měsícem +2

      If I forgot and didn't specify, let's assume this Super-Earth that is a bit larger/bigger than Earth at 1.5 AU had the same density as Earth (5.5 G/CM), 2 atmospheres of pressure, 48-hour day/night cycle, 2 Earth masses and 2Gs (double the Earth's mass and gravity) while this Mars-sized Sub-Earth at 0.7 AU had the same density as Mercury (5.4 G/CM), atmospheric pressure identical to Earth, 24-hour day/night cycle, 0.5 Earth masses and 0.5Gs (half of Earth's mass and gravity), also if both substituted planets had an Earth-like atmosphere and same overall composition as Earth, strong and powerful magnetic field, axial tilt similar to Mars, liquid molten interior and Iron core, would any of them be habitable, livable, inhabitable and hospitable to life?

      @@jesusvieira7180If an Earth-Like Planet (with the same size, mass and gravity as Venus and Earth's density of 5.5 G/CM and same overall composition as Earth) replaced Venus, would it be habitable, livable, inhabitable and hospitable to life? Maybe some astronomer, cosmologist or scientist knows an answer to it.

      @@planetarystargazer your comment being more specific fried my brain but the one replying to me I'll say in my opinion I think with a super Earth it would mean more gravity so it would have a thick atmosphere full of water clouds (maybe a water world). Or it could have been like Earth in the past with a cooler Sun and turned into a Venus type of planet (the same path Venus probably took in the past)

    • @jesusvieira7180

      @@planetarystargazer ok I gave a try to your bigger comment and all I say is I think it would have been hotter than earth even if 1.5AU it would have been hotter with a 48h day/night cycle I think one side would get too hot and the far side too cold. At least for Earth like life. If that planet was full of life they would have been adapted.
      But at least both planets would have a better chance of having life. All this in my opinion and speculation. But it was a fun speculation exercise😆

      mars's conditions are NOTHING like earth's moon. mars has an atmosphere, earth's moon does not. mars used to have water, and still probably has underground water, as opposed to the moon being too cold all the way through for any water.
