Note: This is a remaster of the original Mercury video that I made about 6 years ago (crazy how time flies!). Here's the original for a comparison: czcams.com/video/m3ZUhpisWeQ/video.html
Here's the patch notes for the remaster:
- 60fps instead of 30fps
- Updated crappy CGI of Mercury's orbit with Space Engine footage
- Updated information where applicable
- Fixed grammar mistakes
- Totally re-recorded the audio
- New music
- New visuals showcasing Mercury's magnetic field and its interaction with its exosphere and the solar wind
- New views of Mercury's North Pole
- New views of recent Mercury transits
- Space Engine view of the rotation and orbit of Mercury
- Closed captions now available (previous video only had auto-generated captions)
- Pacing changes
- Other minor changes
Thought it was a younger Darth Vader narrating the original! :D
Please upscale to at least 1440p on these re-masters before re-upload as youtube compression is terrible at 1080p60 especially.
Uploading and doubling frame rate actually causes lots of dropped frames and stuttering/ hitching on youtube video player for some reason. It's probably some ai trying to drop duplicated frames to save bandwidth but it ends up wrecking the smoothness you are trying to achieve so best leave it at 30 fps and up resolution instead of doubling framerate with duplicate frames.
Woah! Big difference
Also you added a "almost" :)
Much better!
On Mercury a day lasts 1,408 hours. Just like every Monday 🙄
Haha! Covid Mondays...
@@PeterHollingshead Yeah, pandemic infinite 😐
Bruh....
I wonder how life forms on exoplanets would manage with a 1400 hour night
@@stevencoardvenice I wonder how life formed on earth...nevermind exo's...the crazies 😱
So, Mercury is 70% metal?
_headbanging intensifies_
2.2 × 10^23 kg metal, so I would say 'very heavy metal'.
Doom music plays
If you're on the sunny side, it's death metal.
@@apocalypse487 If you're on the night side, it's also death metal
🙄🤦🏽♂️
"Every single one of us was in this picture." That honestly just blew my mind
One step closer to an existential crisis... or the opposite, I dunno.
The short people weren't at the front,, let's try again guys.
Yes.. mind boggling
I know I’m like a year late but what if someone was on the other side of the earth
@@Muddler182 Or people indoors, under trees, etc. It's actually an interesting thought experiment, are you still "in" a picture if you are not visible in it, like if you were behind a tree? The photons reflecting off you aren't being captured but you are still physically present in the general area the photo is capturing light from.
Your demonstration of the day being twice as long as the year was excellent.
Yes and super complicated at the same time and i watched few more times to actually get how that was even possible and how it works
Plot Twist: Mercury is actually the Suns Moon.
@Millennial Smark Pretty much😂 The Moons are mini-moons
"Aren't we all?"
Dont moons only orbit planets
@Millennial Smark yes indeed. All the planets and comets and asteroids and stuffs within the Oort clouds are all moons of the sun. Which is about 1.5 lightyears away from the sun if I’m correct
A moon orbitsca planet not the sun
We need to take the picture of earth again. You weren't smiling.
Oh no! My eyes were closed.
Alfred E Neuman but you still smile
And l was on the toilet
They got me from my bad angle 😔
Given that I was going through a traumatic breakup at the time, you're goddamn right I wasn't smiling.
A'IGHT, TAKE TWO
I’m glad your remastering this series, so much more has been found since the original
he said remastering, not re-editing and updating with current information.
@@daos3300 He put a comment on the original video saying that he added new information....
Indeed. It's also interesting that Mercury is, 8.5% on average, the closest plane to Earth,. Due to its elliptical orbit.
Mercury is way more interesting than I thought. I was especially fascinated by the rotation & how the sun would appear to someone standing on Mercury. Thank you so much for your exceptional videos!
The audio and the graphics feel so much better than the older version. We all improve and advance with time; the channel's come a long way.
🌎🌺🌺🌸🌸🌼🌼🌻🥀🌹🍃🍂🍂🍁🍄🎋🎋🌿🌿🌱🌴🐾🐉🐉🐲🌵🎄🌲🦔🦔🐿🐀🐁🐇🐇🕊🦃
You're like the only dude that I've seen that explained this DANG orbit/rotation in layman terms.
THANK YOU
Our Moon has colors as well, just check the so called "true color" pictures of the Moon that some astrophotographers take. It actually shows that there's a lot of oxidation on the surface of the Moon.
Our moon is mostly brownish with the albedo of asphalt.
I never would have thought the planet closest to the sun would have areas cold enough to have ice. Really interesting. I just have to say, this is the best educational YT channel I've seen. You excel at presenting a topic in a way that makes it exciting and leaves people wanting to know more. I had science teachers who could have presented to their class all the same information that you do, but the way in which they did it would put the class to sleep. I guess what I'm saying is, thanks for not being boring!
Fascinating video made so much better by a well paced and "easy on the ear" narration.
Thank you!!! I know it sounds crazy, but I have a 3yr old that is super advanced and loves this channel. When she wakes up in the middle of the night, I might put on an Astrum video to lull her back to sleep..... and then we watch 2-3 Astrum videos.... sometimes more. She has told me she is scared to go to Mars, but that she wants to bring people back to their families from Mars when she gets older. I don't know how to express my gratitude.... but thank you for the hard work you do to make these videos.
Can't wait to see the rest of the videos in this series!
absolutely mind blowing, and I love how you let the amazing info speak for itself with your low-key, relaxing presentation of the science. one of the best channels out there
CONGRATS ON 500K SUBS! I’m one of them! Your content is amazing and that’s why you hit this milestone!
This video series never gets old, I'm looking forward to the rest of the remasters and thank you for your great work!
Interesting. We need to send a lander.
U got the money to cover it?
Nearly 500 thousand subscribers - if we all chipped in . . .
BepiColombo was intended to include a lander, but sadly it was canceled due to budgetary constraints.
Sending things to the planets closer to the Sun than Earth is a tad bit trickier. This is because the probe is "falling" into the Sun as it goes towards the planet and it's speed keeps increasing. There's that Japanese probe that just couldn't catch on to Venus and they had to wait 10 years to try again.
@@ianbcnp Wow can't believe Astrum is only at almost 500k. You're right thought if everyone gave like 5 dollars we'd have 2,500,000 which is not enough at all
Thank you, good sir, for continuously reawakening my childhood fascination with space and astronomy with ever upload.
Very interesting and very well done.
I think that you should do a video about all dwarf planets from the solar system
Man you took me down a rabbit hole! I love your videos and am now subscribed. You put together the best images and video clips I've seen on YT. You deserve more exposure. Keep it up! I look forward to more remastered vids in this docuseries
Thank you again
Outstanding quality, Astrum! I can imagine new Astronomy students learning from this video, great job👏 I can't wait for the other videos to come out!
Thank you for refreshing old videos with updated data and visuals.
As always I've really been enjoying watching the video. Am lookin forward to the remastered episodes! This refreshed so much knowledge in my head, thank you!. Cant wait for BepiColumbo to arrive. We need to talk more about mercury.
Loved those old planet videos! Glad to hear you remaster them
mercury is underrated and underappreciated, poor little guy.
Congrats on half a million subs, hope you do a video about Ganymede one day
Everything I'll show you is real pictures or video taken by a probe.
Next shot: top-down look on The Solar System :D
But the audio quality is so much better, nice reupload. Keep up the good job, Astrum.
Fascinating!
... Captain
hello spenny
I love your videos they really inspire me to research all these things more because it’s so interesting.
Please never stop making videos :) keen as to see the remastered videos all over again, keep up the good work! From Australia
Thanks for the video, definitely learned something new about Mercury today!
Your visuals explained this very well. Thank you and all the best!
Thanks for the playlist!! Updating it is great!
Wonderful work yet again, Alex. Thank you so much, that was a good brain exercise.
The world's most difficult selfie.
Nah, that would be the one taken by Voyager 1.
See if you can spot Liza Minelli! 😂
Earth photo in the end is amazing.
Love your videos. Listening and watching them is so relaxing and educational.
You are so close to 500k!
Appreciate the remaster but just wanted to point out that all your videos (new and old) are top quality, please keep it up!
Another good one! 👍🏻😃 To this earthling that bit about the sun, from Mercury's vantage point, rising then going backwards a little before moving forward blew my mind. Can't imagine standing on Mercury's surface and seeing this. Whew! 🤪🤔🤯
Keep up the great work and congrats in advance for breaking the 500k sub mark.
Congrats on your 500k subs.
You deserve every single one of them!
Best regards from Romania!
This is really interesting, Mercury doesn't get much love, so I didn't know any of this
I was going to say that u already did this. But now I’m happy ur doing this again!!
Absolutely fantastic! Thoroughly enjoyed that
Thank you so much! Your channel is one of best about the solar system.
Wonderful video. I find mercury to be this most beautiful planet in our solar system. Thank you for sharing all this information about a planet we rarely hear about!
Thank you so much for this beautiful and informative video!
The most informative and interesting video as usual. Thank you
A comparison of the moon and mercury size wise would be cool, also, would the sun look much bigger because mercury is so much closer to it? Things I must know...
Awesome! Love your shows!!
I learned something new. Good and informative video - thanks!
Words cannot describe how fascinating space is
Thanks for reuploading!
Wow!
Wonderful video and explanation!
Thank you!
I love your channel, thanks for the work!!
Loved it, interesting and informative. Thank you
nice to see updated version
Great Video! Very informative.
what really fascinates me, they built the same house on either planet and did the gravity test with a ball to compare it. That's so amazing! 2:18
Phenomenal graphics and editing, Astrum!
½M subscribers soon!
Every video is great in my eyes . Thank you
Great video, had no clue mercury's orbit was so scuffed, and the visualisation was pretty damn cool and easy to understand.
Loved it! Keep it coming!
Please remastere all of them .. and audio quality is super good
Amazing work!
Great video mate. Love ‘yer’ stuff!
Looking forward to the remasters of the other Planets! Really love your videos 😊
That was such an awesome explanation of the one year daytime one year night time condition! Thanks!!
These are my favorite episodes!
Expat in the Philippines with two words, wonderful video!.
Thank you Alex always enjoy Astrom videos. Excuse me if there’s some misspellings etc. in here I’m talk texting which is a lot faster. Hopefully you get the point I’m sure you do. You’re a pretty smart guy. As a matter of fact I come to Astrom when I wanna find out a little bit more about space our universe, our planets, our solar system, etc.
Thank you again happy new year to you Alex and yours
AWESOME!!! I love this stuff!!
Love your channel!
Excellent video. Quite a few things I didn’t know about Mercury.
Interesting video! Although i knew about the weird relationship between Mercury's orbit and rotation, the images presented here made it much more understandable. Thanks! :D
👍
This entire channel is brilliant.
Never tire of listening to your voice! 😊
Great video, interesting stuff about the sun rise and sun set
Mercury is awesome. Thanks for another great video.
1:31 I think this is a beautiful picture. I have it as wallpaper and optimized it with more details and saturated colours.
Thanks!!! Great video!!
Great job, as always.
Amazing info. Thank you.
Wonderful video to watch after getting off work
Wow I never knew that about mercury. Amazing. I love the video.
Never knew mercury had water ice. I guess with it being closer to the poles, along with mercury hardly having an axial tilt and somewhat of an magnetic field that water is relatively safe...
@2:05 Great gravity visualization by dropping the ball and adjusting the playback speed. The simplest of demonstrations usually make the most sense!
Thank you Alex for the video
Love your content man ♥
I just found your channel and it is very interesting. I would also like to thank you for using both Imperial and Metric. Its very nice for everyone,
Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
❤️ 🙏 ❤️
I love the video! This one was awesome!
Amazing video
I love Mercury. It's not as stunning to look at as our other planets, and it doesn't have the strange phenomenon of the gas giants, but it's more mysterious than some of the planets on the outer reaches of our solar system, thought it much closer to us than they are. I really wish we had photos from the surface of it as we do mars and venus
I love these videos!
A new Astrum video, even a redux, is always good news.
