part of the solar 5 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,830 and since the earth is part of the solar system by studying the solar system 6 00:00:21,830 --> 00:00:21,840 system by studying the solar system 7 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,070 system by studying the solar system we hope that we will learn more about 8 00:00:24,070 --> 00:00:24,080 we hope that we will learn more about 9 00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:25,349 we hope that we will learn more about where the earth how the earth got to 10 00:00:25,349 --> 00:00:25,359 where the earth how the earth got to 11 00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:28,550 where the earth how the earth got to where it is today and where it's going 12 00:00:28,550 --> 00:00:28,560 where it is today and where it's going 13 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,189 where it is today and where it's going well we're not disappointed this mission 14 00:00:31,189 --> 00:00:31,199 well we're not disappointed this mission 15 00:00:31,199 --> 00:00:42,830 well we're not disappointed this mission is 16 00:00:42,830 --> 00:00:42,840 17 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:49,750 exciting 18 00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:49,760 19 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,830 when you watch the behavior of these 20 00:00:51,830 --> 00:00:51,840 when you watch the behavior of these 21 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,110 when you watch the behavior of these clouds the way they 22 00:00:53,110 --> 00:00:53,120 clouds the way they 23 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,189 clouds the way they interact with one another it's as though 24 00:00:55,189 --> 00:00:55,199 interact with one another it's as though 25 00:00:55,199 --> 00:00:57,510 interact with one another it's as though you were seeing two swirling 26 00:00:57,510 --> 00:00:57,520 you were seeing two swirling 27 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:02,310 you were seeing two swirling immiscible liquids 28 00:01:02,310 --> 00:01:02,320 29 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,869 this is the most dynamic and active 30 00:01:04,869 --> 00:01:04,879 this is the most dynamic and active 31 00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:06,550 this is the most dynamic and active geologic surface in the entire solar 32 00:01:06,550 --> 00:01:06,560 geologic surface in the entire solar 33 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:07,030 geologic surface in the entire solar system 34 00:01:07,030 --> 00:01:07,040 system 35 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,149 system volcanic lava flows each of these 36 00:01:10,149 --> 00:01:10,159 volcanic lava flows each of these 37 00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:11,429 volcanic lava flows each of these satellites 38 00:01:11,429 --> 00:01:11,439 satellites 39 00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:16,870 satellites unique 40 00:01:16,870 --> 00:01:16,880 41 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,310 you can fit approximately 760 earths 42 00:01:20,310 --> 00:01:20,320 you can fit approximately 760 earths 43 00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:29,030 you can fit approximately 760 earths inside of saturn 44 00:01:29,030 --> 00:01:29,040 45 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,670 well the rings are made up of individual 46 00:01:31,670 --> 00:01:31,680 well the rings are made up of individual 47 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,270 well the rings are made up of individual individual small particles perhaps 48 00:01:33,270 --> 00:01:33,280 individual small particles perhaps 49 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:34,950 individual small particles perhaps something the size of a basketball and 50 00:01:34,950 --> 00:01:34,960 something the size of a basketball and 51 00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:38,830 something the size of a basketball and each one of those is like a tiny 52 00:01:38,830 --> 00:01:38,840 53 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:45,990 satellite 54 00:01:45,990 --> 00:01:46,000 55 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,990 so you have to catch it just right when 56 00:01:47,990 --> 00:01:48,000 so you have to catch it just right when 57 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,190 so you have to catch it just right when the outside freezes 58 00:01:49,190 --> 00:01:49,200 the outside freezes 59 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,990 the outside freezes and the inside is still liquid saturn's 60 00:01:51,990 --> 00:01:52,000 and the inside is still liquid saturn's 61 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,190 and the inside is still liquid saturn's large moon titan 62 00:01:53,190 --> 00:01:53,200 large moon titan 63 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,030 large moon titan has an atmosphere probably two to three 64 00:01:55,030 --> 00:01:55,040 has an atmosphere probably two to three 65 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,789 has an atmosphere probably two to three times as dense as the atmosphere here on 66 00:01:56,789 --> 00:01:56,799 times as dense as the atmosphere here on 67 00:01:56,799 --> 00:01:57,749 times as dense as the atmosphere here on earth an atmosphere 68 00:01:57,749 --> 00:01:57,759 earth an atmosphere 69 00:01:57,759 -->

these frames come 75 00:02:08,399 --> 00:02:09,430 late last night we had these frames come back from 76 00:02:09,430 --> 00:02:09,440 back from 77 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:14,550 back from two billion miles away 78 00:02:14,550 --> 00:02:14,560 79 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:20,150 very very unusual difficult to explain 80 00:02:20,150 --> 00:02:20,160 81 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:27,350 very sensitive to any dust in the rings 82 00:02:27,350 --> 00:02:27,360 83 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,110 miranda surpassed our wildest 84 00:02:29,110 --> 00:02:29,120 miranda surpassed our wildest 85 00:02:29,120 -->

--> 00:02:33,840 here we see a cliff 16 miles high on 89 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,190 here we see a cliff 16 miles high on this fault 90 00:02:35,190 --> 00:02:35,200 this fault 91 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,710 this fault if you were standing here you could flip 92 00:02:36,710 --> 00:02:36,720 if you were standing here you could flip 93 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,470 if you were standing here you could flip a rock off it would take it nine minutes 94 00:02:38,470 --> 00:02:38,480 a rock off it would take it nine minutes 95 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,150 a rock off it would take it nine minutes to fall to the bottom 96 00:02:42,150 --> 00:02:42,160 97 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,830 how do you generate a magnetic field of 98 00:02:43,830 --> 00:02:43,840 how do you generate a magnetic field of 99 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,589 how do you generate a magnetic field of a planet briefly 100 00:02:45,589 --> 00:02:45,599 a planet briefly 101 00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:47,750 a planet briefly you do it by having an electrical 102 00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:47,760 you do it by having an electrical 103 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:55,750 you do it by having an electrical current flow inside the planet 104 00:02:55,750 --> 00:02:55,760 105 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,350 negative five decimal three eight 106 00:02:57,350 --> 00:02:57,360 negative five decimal three eight 107 00:02:57,360 -->

--> 00:03:06,800 111 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,869 i guess the surprise to me was that 112 00:03:08,869 --> 00:03:08,879 i guess the surprise to me was that 113 00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:11,110 i guess the surprise to me was that there was anything to see at all 114 00:03:11,110 --> 00:03:11,120 there was anything to see at all 115 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,790 there was anything to see at all that's motion that's how you study 116 00:03:12,790 --> 00:03:12,800 that's motion that's how you study 117 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,830 that's motion that's how you study motion and motion is the key to 118 00:03:16,830 --> 00:03:16,840 119 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,190 meteorology 120 00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:19,200 meteorology 121 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,030 meteorology it looks like we got pounded with about 122 00:03:21,030 --> 00:03:21,040 it looks like we got pounded with about 123 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,110 it looks like we got pounded with about 300 hits per second of tiny little dust 124 00:03:23,110 --> 00:03:23,120 300 hits per second of tiny little dust 125 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,390 300 hits per second of tiny little dust particles 126 00:03:24,390 --> 00:03:24,400 particles 127 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,550 particles and the science is pushed in in an 128 00:03:26,550 --> 00:03:26,560 and the science is pushed in in an 129 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:27,670 and the science is pushed in in an amazing fashion 130 00:03:27,670 --> 00:03:27,680 amazing fashion 131 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,830 amazing fashion it's like fitting a jigsaw puzzle 132 00:03:30,830 --> 00:03:30,840 it's like fitting a jigsaw puzzle 133 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,949 it's like fitting a jigsaw puzzle together 134 00:03:34,949 --> 00:03:34,959 135 00:03:34,959 --> 00:03:36,789 one of the interesting thing that's kind 136 00:03:36,789 --> 00:03:36,799 one of the interesting thing that's kind 137 00:03:36,799 --> 00:03:38,390 one of the interesting thing that's kind of that's kind of bizarre 138 00:03:38,390 --> 00:03:38,400 of that's kind of bizarre 139 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:48,710 of that's kind of bizarre is the terminator region of triton 140 00:03:48,710 --> 00:03:48,720 141 00:03:48,720 --> 00:04:17,590 to you 142 00:04:17,590 --> 00:04:17,600 143 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,680 you
