    Honestly...learning that Neptune isn't the deep vibrant azure that we all saw in pictures and read about in text books hits me harder than Pluto getting demoted. As an artist, I've always loved drawing the giant planets and it was so much fun comparing and contrasting their differences in appearance. Neptune's striking royal blue was especially fun to draw in Photoshop. But...now I learn it's exactly the same colour as Uranus. I love Uranus too, equally fun to draw, especially with its ring system, but now it feels like both planets have lost some of their uniqueness, you know? Still really think we need to send a dedicated orbiter mission to at least one of them in the next decade though.

    I got to see a Space Shuttle launch and it was spectacular.
    At first it seemed like we were too far away to hear the rocket as it was climbing into the air.
    Then BAAM the engine roar hits you in the chest, but the sound is just lifting up from the launch pad.
    The rocket is obviously higher and out of sync with the sound.
    The sound chases the rocket and eventually catches up to the visual. All that was unexpected an really neat to experience.

    I always wondered about those deep blue pics of Neptune. I've seen both Uranus and Neptune through a telescope, both on the same night some years ago, and they certainly looked to me to be very similar. In fact that night they seemed to almost have a green hue to them, tho that might have been the optics or just a trick of the eye.

And at the time astronomers were raving about it because it was the only other object in the solar system that was volcanicly active. But now my favourite moon is Europa. I think that is the best place to find actual life! They keep talking about Enceladus, but I think it's far too pristine looking. It might have life. But the dirty service of Europa makes me think that if they land a prob on the surface they will find "cryo-fossils" on the surface. All that yellow and brown is from life. I would bet a $10 on it! And my theory (from Dunning Krueger effect) is that if there is life in the ocean, then it will die. Get trapped in the ice. And through geological activity get churned to the service. Just the same way as icebergs flip on earth's ocean. That's my theory anyways. But I digress...
      I definitely think stella pictures should give accurate representation even at the cost of beauty.

    • @AubriGryphon
      @AubriGryphon Před 4 měsíci

      @@rodnee2340 Well, the thing is "how they actually look" can be approximated by staring into a charcoal briquette. There's just not enough light out there for a human eye to pick up color properly. You HAVE to do some photo manipulation just to make the shot visible, and any photographer will tell you that the same is true of photography in general. Eyes and cameras work in fundamentally different ways; an eye can't collect photons for minutes on end to build a photo of a dim object, space cameras often collect photons that are entirely outside the human visual range, and once you have those photons, it's not just a matter of amplifying each color in lockstep; your eye reacts differently to different colors at different intensities, so it's always going to be a matter of making choices about how you want the final product to look. (This is true of conventional photography, too -- while phone cameras ship with settings that are decent for a broad range of scenarios, they're not the Most Realistic that you could possibly get for any given shot.)
      And, finally, for scientific work, researchers rarely care about "how it actually looks". Neptune wasn't presented as deep blue for funsies, but because it revealed the interesting weather patterns. Nebulas are colorized to show the different elements, often including information from infrared bands that would be completely invisible to your eye. Even hydrogen-alpha, which is visible, is a very dark red color that your eye can't pick up well at lower intensities; by pushing the color up the spectrum a bit, it reveals the details of rarified gas that you would otherwise miss. The raws from most spacecraft cameras are black and white photos taken through a wavelength filter, and for NASA at least, they're easily available if you want to look at them. But they're not very interesting in that form, and if you really want to assemble them into What They Really Look Like, have at it. But know that you're going to be making the same kinds of choices that were made by the people who created the photos you're so dismissive of.

      NASA probably made a mistake by choosing that thing to land astronauts on the Moon, it's becoming more and more obvious. But they have tied themselves to it, to an extent. They have to make it work now. Artemis 2 for late 2015, probably early 2016, then two more years for, maybe, Artemis 3 in early 2028. SpaceX has 4 years to make that thing operational.

    On the subject of Neptune and Uranus color, I have a different experience than the final colors described here. Although similar in color, through my 20” Dobsonian reflector, Uranus is slightly more greenish and Neptune is slightly more bluish. My eyepiece was a 14mm 100 degree FOV. In each case, the image in the EP resembled a BB in the FOV, but it was relatively easy to detect the difference in color. In each case, the color was pale and chalky appearing.
    OTOH, I appreciate hearing the explanation for why Neptune was not a darker blue than what I and other amateur astronomers have seen through our telescopes for years! Thanks!

    Suggestion: is there a point when we can expect a dedicated episode about the nitty-gritty logistics and economics of a permanent Martian settlement and making it independent? As in, is there economic sense of making a Martian colony 100% resource and tech self-sufficient? How soon you can expect that after the first foot is set on Mars? How do you even go about doing it? What product of Earth economy gonna be the hardest to supplement domestically for Mars? Is it likely to lead to the independence movement, Expanse style?

I have a few of them recorded on my "channel" (just some videos for friends and family). In fact, there's one scheduled tonight at 12:59am SpaceX Starlink Group 7-10. The Falcon 9 first stage looks really cool. The tail is bright red and turns greenish towards the end of it's stage. Then it disappears for a few seconds and then a white comet like tail appears. I've see at least a hundred of them. I can't get enough.

    As usual, excellent show. I would recommend one other place to go watch a gigantic rocket launch at Boca Chica. There are a number of hotels across the bay from Starbase. You need to be a bit more energetic in making your reservations. This is due to SpaceX only releasing launch information up to a week in advance. It is an amazing thing to be present for. Even if you cannot be there for a launch you can get a close-up view of both the Starfactory and the launch site. The scale of everything will throw shivers up and down your spine.😮😮😅😅😅

Reading the release from Green Bank Observatory it seems that they don't actually have an explanation for what they observe, they use the phrase "Mystery.....Revealed". They have found all the elements of star formation but no explanation yet of why it is occurring so far out. If I am reading it correctly.

    actually this selfeating rocket well usually first stages have stronger boosters wo it will be quite interesting if it would be kind of modular like if the fuel gets less e.G. if you start with 5 boosters in an X configuration to ditch first 2 then 2 more boosters and keep the center booster all allong the flight.. you would save the weight of the n'th stages boosters.

    When I observe those two planets with our 28" Dobsonian telescope Neptune is definitely blue and Uranus is a paler whitish blue. At x330 can easily see the planets as a disks and even pick out some of the moons. The moons are bit brighter than Pluto but easier to locate because they are near their planets.

    From NoirLAB in 2022:
    'Astronomers may now understand why the similar planets Uranus and Neptune are different colors. Using observations from the Gemini North telescope, the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility, and the Hubble Space Telescope, researchers have developed a single atmospheric model that matches observations of both planets. The model reveals that excess haze on Uranus builds up in the planet’s stagnant, sluggish atmosphere and makes it appear a lighter tone than Neptune.
    Neptune and Uranus have much in common - they have similar masses, sizes, and atmospheric compositions - yet their appearances are notably different. At visible wavelengths Neptune has a distinctly bluer color whereas Uranus is a pale shade of cyan. Astronomers now have an explanation for why the two planets are different colors.
    New research suggests that a layer of concentrated haze that exists on both planets is thicker on Uranus than a similar layer on Neptune and ‘whitens’ Uranus's appearance more than Neptune’s [1]. If there were no haze in the atmospheres of Neptune and Uranus, both would appear almost equally blue.'

    I've always had the inclination that alleviates a lot of stigma connected with nuclear energy and the disposal of the spent rods, instead of using it in attempts to annihilate each other. The concept is simple, but the engineers would have fun with the development (creating jobs, wow, what a concept). The half-life of fuel rods are certainly more than plastics, provide longer duration of fuel for extensive distance travel, or round trip missions. I've been familiar with the physics and if more focus ($) was directed towards research, education and positive aspects instead of how much they can shove into their pockets, wouldn't that be something
