that were seen in these in these 195 00:05:06,820 --> 00:05:10,470 that were seen in these in these pictures now we know even less about the 196 00:05:10,470 --> 00:05:10,480 pictures now we know even less about the 197 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,320 pictures now we know even less about the about the Saturn system and so we might 198 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:13,330 about the Saturn system and so we might 199 00:05:13,330 --> 00:05:16,020 about the Saturn system and so we might expect more surprises than we had even 200 00:05:16,020 --> 00:05:16,030 expect more surprises than we had even 201 00:05:16,030 --> 00:05:20,250 expect more surprises than we had even interpreting these computer-generated 202 00:05:20,250 --> 00:05:20,260 interpreting these computer-generated 203 00:05:20,260 --> 00:05:22,800 interpreting these computer-generated pictures show what larger one will see 204 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:22,810 pictures show what larger one will see 205 00:05:22,810 --> 00:05:24,600

toward its closest encounter on November 12th it should reveal some 208 00:05:27,510 --> 00:05:27,520 on November 12th it should reveal some 209 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,340 on November 12th it should reveal some exciting discoveries about Saturn which 210 00:05:29,340 --> 00:05:29,350 exciting discoveries about Saturn which 211 00:05:29,350 --> 00:05:31,920 exciting discoveries about Saturn which have been beyond our grasp on that date 212 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:31,930 have been beyond our grasp on that date 213 00:05:31,930 --> 00:05:34,530 have been beyond our grasp on that date Voyager 1 will dip near the clouds have 214 00:05:34,530 --> 00:05:34,540 Voyager 1 will dip near the clouds have 215 00:05:34,540 --> 00:05:36,120 Voyager 1 will dip near the clouds have tightened to

Saturn's 218 00:05:38,940 --> 00:05:38,950 there then if we pass behind Saturn's 219 00:05:38,950 --> 00:05:41,250 there then if we pass behind Saturn's rings to study the planets mixture of 220 00:05:41,250 --> 00:05:41,260 rings to study the planets mixture of 221 00:05:41,260 --> 00:05:44,610 rings to study the planets mixture of water and ice scientists think the rains 222 00:05:44,610 --> 00:05:44,620 water and ice scientists think the rains 223 00:05:44,620 --> 00:05:46,290 water and ice scientists think the rains might have been formed from a shattered 224 00:05:46,290 --> 00:05:46,300 might have been formed from a shattered 225 00:05:46,300 --> 00:05:48,480 might have been formed from a shattered satellite or some other body that was 226 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:48,490 satellite or some other body that was 227 00:05:48,490 --> 00:05:51,300 satellite or some other body that was pulled into Saturn's orbit by gravity to 228 00:05:51,300 --> 00:05:51,310 pulled into Saturn's orbit by gravity to 229 00:05:51,310 --> 00:05:53,640 pulled into Saturn's orbit by gravity to us they seemed sleek and smooth but the 230 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:53,650 us they seemed sleek and smooth but the 231 00:05:53,650 --> 00:05:55,620 us they seemed sleek and smooth but the Rings are composed of huge chunks of ice 232 00:05:55,620 --> 00:05:55,630 Rings are composed of huge

exactly how large many of the 247 00:06:12,660 --> 00:06:15,710 know exactly how large many of the Saturnian moons are because they're so 248 00:06:15,710 --> 00:06:15,720 Saturnian moons are because they're so 249 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,190 Saturnian moons are because they're so hard to measure from the earth and in 250 00:06:19,190 --> 00:06:19,200 hard to measure from the earth and in 251 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:20,900 hard to measure from the earth and in fact one of the major experiments that 252 00:06:20,900 --> 00:06:20,910 fact one of the major experiments that 253 00:06:20,910 -->

they 262 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:32,370 to see how they differ and why they 263 00:06:32,370 --> 00:06:35,510 to see how they differ and why they differ the voyagers were planned to 264 00:06:35,510 --> 00:06:35,520 differ the voyagers were planned to 265 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,430 differ the voyagers were planned to affirm our beliefs about Saturn and 266 00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:37,440 affirm our beliefs about Saturn and 267 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,290 affirm our beliefs about Saturn and Jupiter but they've been so successful 268 00:06:39,290 --> 00:06:39,300 Jupiter but they've been so successful 269 00:06:39,300 --> 00:06:42,170 Jupiter but they've been so successful that NASA is sending Voyager 2 on to 270 00:06:42,170 --> 00:06:42,180 that NASA is sending Voyager 2 on to 271 00:06:42,180 --> 00:06:45,800 that NASA is sending Voyager 2 on to Uranus after it tours Saturn next August 272 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:45,810 Uranus after it tours Saturn next August 273 00:06:45,810

1986 after that the spacecraft may venture even 280 00:06:57,020 --> 00:06:57,030 that the spacecraft may venture even 281 00:06:57,030 --> 00:07:00,040 that the spacecraft may venture even farther to Neptune 282 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:00,050 farther to Neptune 283 00:07:00,050 --> 00:07:02,050 farther to Neptune when the voyagers finished their mission 284 00:07:02,050 --> 00:07:02,060 when the voyagers finished their mission 285 00:07:02,060 --> 00:07:04,210 when the voyagers finished their mission they will lose contact with earth and 286 00:07:04,210 --> 00:07:04,220 they will lose contact with earth and 287 00:07:04,220 --> 00:07:07,900 they will lose contact with earth and tumble and enslave into new galaxies but 288 00:07:07,900 --> 00:07:07,910 tumble and enslave into new galaxies but 289 00:07:07,910 --> 00:07:10,240 tumble and enslave into new galaxies but then they will observe their members for 290 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:10,250 then they will observe their members for 291 00:07:10,250 --> 00:07:13,450 then they will observe their members for what was Fantasia and speculation in our 292 00:07:13,450 --> 00:07:13,460 what was Fantasia and speculation in our 293 00:07:13,460 --> 00:07:16,420 what was Fantasia and speculation in our minds has become factual knowledge about 294 00:07:16,420 --> 00:07:16,430 minds has become factual knowledge about 295

be 381 00:09:24,580 --> 00:09:25,860 gratifying to have the results be something more than what was expected 382 00:09:25,860 --> 00:09:25,870 something more than what was expected 383 00:09:25,870 --> 00:09:28,500 something more than what was expected and Saturn and what we have found was 384 00:09:28,500 --> 00:09:28,510 and Saturn and what we have found was 385 00:09:28,510 --> 00:09:31,710 and Saturn and what we have found was not expected I suspect even for the next 386 00:09:31,710 --> 00:09:31,720 not expected I suspect even for the next 387 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:32,580 not expected I suspect even for the next few years 388 00:09:32,580 --> 00:09:32,590 few years 389 00:09:32,590 --> 00:09:35,280 few years we will find new discoveries in the data 390 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:35,290 we will find new discoveries in the data 391 00:09:35,290 --> 00:09:36,870 we will find new discoveries in the data which we've acquired in the last few 392 00:09:36,870 --> 00:09:36,880 which we've acquired in the last few 393 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,610 which we've acquired in the last few days and as we see more and more 394 00:09:38,610 --> 00:09:38,620 days and as we see more and more 395 00:09:38,620 --> 00:09:40,620 days and as we see more and more examples of the way the universe can put 396 00:09:40,620 --> 00:09:40,630 examples of the way the universe can put 397 00:09:40,630 --> 00:09:42,000 examples of the way the universe can put planets together we find that our 398 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:42,010 planets together we find that our 399 00:09:42,010 --> 00:09:43,830 planets together we find that our terrestrial perspective in explaining 400 00:09:43,830 --> 00:09:43,840 terrestrial perspective in explaining 401 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,900 terrestrial perspective in explaining our own planet has been rather limited 402 00:09:45,900 --> 00:09:45,910 our own planet has been rather limited 403 00:09:45,910 --> 00:09:48,380 our own planet has been rather limited we get new ideas from this what we 404 00:09:48,380 --> 00:09:48,390 we get new ideas from this what we 405 00:09:48,390 --> 00:09:51,150 we get new ideas from this what we learned about Saturn during that 406 00:09:51,150 --> 00:09:51,160 learned about Saturn during that 407 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,670 learned about Saturn during that encounter and during the months that 408 00:09:53,670 --> 00:09:53,680 encounter and during the months that 409 00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:56,760 encounter and during the months that preceded it have really rewritten the 410 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:56,770 preceded it have really rewritten the 411 00:09:56,770 --> 00:10:00,720 preceded it have really rewritten the text books on Saturn next August Voyager 412 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:00,730 text books on Saturn next August Voyager 413 00:10:00,730 --> 00:10:03,300 text books on Saturn next August Voyager 2 will approach Saturn pass by the ring 414 00:10:03,300 --> 00:10:03,310 2 will approach Saturn pass by the ring 415 00:10:03,310 --> 00:10:05,100 2 will approach Saturn pass by the ring spectacle of gas and ice from a 416 00:10:05,100 --> 00:10:05,110 spectacle of gas and ice from a 417

00:13:37,829 like one part in a hundred thousand the 569 00:13:37,829 --> 00:13:40,999 like one part in a hundred thousand the mass of the earth the planet-sized moon 570 00:13:40,999 --> 00:13:41,009 mass of the earth the planet-sized moon 571 00:13:41,009 --> 00:13:42,710 mass of the earth the planet-sized moon Titan has many of the characteristics 572 00:13:42,710 --> 00:13:42,720 Titan has many of the characteristics 573 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,139 Titan has many of the characteristics that may have existed on earth in its 574 00:13:45,139 --> 00:13:45,149 that may have existed on earth in its 575 00:13:45,149 --> 00:13:47,900 that may have existed on earth in its early geologic history its atmosphere is 576 00:13:47,900 --> 00:13:47,910 early geologic history its atmosphere is 577 00:13:47,910 --> 00:13:51,439 early geologic history its atmosphere is dominated by 82% nitrogen gas compared 578 00:13:51,439 --> 00:13:51,449 dominated by 82% nitrogen gas compared 579 00:13:51,449 --> 00:13:54,319 dominated by 82% nitrogen gas compared with 79% on earth but instead of oxygen 580 00:13:54,319 --> 00:13:54,329 with 79% on earth but instead of oxygen 581 00:13:54,329 --> 00:13:56,900 with 79% on earth but instead of oxygen it has methane and hydrogen and it's 582 00:13:56,900 --> 00:13:56,910 it has methane and hydrogen and it's 583 00:13:56,910 --> 00:13:59,840 it has methane and hydrogen and it's very cold and smoggy Voyager twos 584 00:13:59,840 --> 00:13:59,850 very cold and smoggy Voyager twos 585 00:13:59,850 --> 00:14:01,999 very cold and smoggy Voyager twos cameras have been turned off and will 586 00:14:01,999 --> 00:14:02,009 cameras have been turned off and will 587 00:14:02,009 --> 00:14:03,799 cameras have been turned off and will remain off most of the time for the next 588 00:14:03,799 --> 00:14:03,809 remain off most of the time for the next 589 00:14:03,809 --> 00:14:05,570 remain off most of the time for the next four years 590

Eadie stone made these observations about the 602 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:22,290 stone made these observations about the 603 00:14:22,290 --> 00:14:25,100 stone made these observations about the importance of this type research well I 604 00:14:25,100 --> 00:14:25,110 importance of this type research well I 605 00:14:25,110 --> 00:14:28,580 importance of this type research well I think we all want to understand where we 606 00:14:28,580 --> 00:14:28,590 think we all want to understand where we 607 00:14:28,590 --> 00:14:31,340 think we all want to understand where we live and it's interesting that we now 608 00:14:31,340 --> 00:14:31,350 live and it's interesting that we now 609 00:14:31,350 --> 00:14:34,820 live and it's interesting that we now have the capability to include in where 610 00:14:34,820 --> 00:14:34,830 have the capability to include in where 611 00:14:34,830 --> 00:14:36,680 have the capability to include in where we live the solar system in which we 612 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:36,690 we live the solar system in which we 613 00:14:36,690 --> 00:14:39,110 we live the solar system in which we live now that is interesting because 614 00:14:39,110 --> 00:14:39,120 live now that is interesting because 615 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,630 live now that is interesting because we're very curious people and where we 616 00:14:41,630 --> 00:14:41,640 we're very curious people and where we 617 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,220 we're very curious people and where we live on one of the planets the solar 618 00:14:43,220 --> 00:14:43,230 live on one of the planets the solar 619 00:14:43,230 --> 00:14:45,470 live on one of the planets the solar system which has obviously evolved to 620 00:14:45,470 --> 00:14:45,480 system which has obviously evolved to 621 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,270 system which has obviously evolved to where it is today and which is 622 00:14:47,270 --> 00:14:47,280 where it is today and which is 623 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,030 where it is today and which is continuing to evolve it's very difficult 624 00:14:50,030 --> 00:14:50,040 continuing to evolve it's very difficult 625 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,370 continuing to evolve it's very difficult when you're looking at something now to 626 00:14:52,370 --> 00:14:52,380 when you're looking at something now to 627 00:14:52,380 --> 00:14:54,950 when you're looking at something now to be able to accurately go back in time 628 00:14:54,950 --> 00:14:54,960 be able to accurately go back in time 629 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,590 be able to accurately go back in time and or to go forward in time but by 630 00:14:57,590 --> 00:14:57,600 and or to go forward in time but by 631 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,360 and or to go forward in time but by looking at a number of examples of 632 00:14:59,360 --> 00:14:59,370 looking at a number of examples of 633 00:14:59,370 --> 00:15:01,670 looking at a number of examples of things as they exist now in the solar 634 00:15:01,670 --> 00:15:01,680 things as they exist now in the solar 635 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,920 things as they exist now in the solar system I think we have a better idea of 636 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:03,930 system I think we have a better idea of 637 00:15:03,930 --> 00:15:06,080 system I think we have a better idea of both how to look backward in time to the 638 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:06,090 both how to look backward in time to the 639 00:15:06,090 --> 00:15:07,910 both how to look backward in time to the beginning and possibly how to look 640 00:15:07,910 --> 00:15:07,920 beginning and possibly how to look 641 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,310 beginning and possibly how to look forward in time to how things will 642 00:15:10,310 --> 00:15:10,320 forward in time to how things will 643 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:16,160 forward in time to how things will evolve now let's turn to the inner solar 644 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:16,170 evolve now let's turn to the inner solar 645 00:15:16,170 --> 00:15:18,770 evolve now let's turn to the inner solar system to learn more about Venus from 646 00:15:18,770 --> 00:15:18,780 system to learn more about Venus from 647 00:15:18,780 --> 00:15:24,980 system to learn more about Venus from this 1982 report stop the Earth's 648 00:15:24,980 --> 00:15:24,990 this 1982 report stop the Earth's 649 00:15:24,990 --> 00:15:27,230 this 1982 report stop the Earth's rotation remove its friendly 650 00:15:27,230 --> 00:15:27,240 rotation remove its friendly 651 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,870 rotation remove its friendly neighborhood moon push it just slightly 652 00:15:29,870 --> 00:15:29,880 neighborhood moon push it just slightly 653 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,960 neighborhood moon push it just slightly closer to the Sun and scientists believe 654 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:32,970 closer to the Sun and scientists believe 655 00:15:32,970 --> 00:15:35,150 closer to the Sun and scientists believe the earth would become like this planet 656 00:15:35,150 --> 00:15:35,160 the earth would become like this planet 657 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,750 the earth would become like this planet Venus recent findings indicate that the 658 00:15:38,750 --> 00:15:38,760 Venus recent findings indicate that the 659 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,850 Venus recent findings indicate that the earth and Venus are identical in many 660 00:15:40,850 --> 00:15:40,860 earth and Venus are identical in many 661 00:15:40,860 --> 00:15:43,790 earth and Venus are identical in many ways at one point in Venus history it 662 00:15:43,790 --> 00:15:43,800 ways at one point in Venus history it 663 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,160 ways at one point in Venus history it might even if at oceans similar to ours 664 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:46,170 might even if at oceans similar to ours 665 00:15:46,170 --> 00:15:48,440 might even if at oceans similar to ours these are some of the new discoveries 666 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:48,450 these are some of the new discoveries 667 00:15:48,450 --> 00:15:50,420 these are some of the new discoveries resulting from an International Venus 668 00:15:50,420 --> 00:15:50,430 resulting from an International Venus 669 00:15:50,430 --> 00:15:52,790 resulting from an International Venus science conference many of the new 670 00:15:52,790 --> 00:15:52,800 science conference many of the new 671 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,380 science conference many of the new findings have come from the several 672 00:15:54,380 --> 00:15:54,390 findings have come from the several 673 00:15:54,390 --> 00:15:56,960 findings have come from the several pioneer Venus spacecraft sent there by 674 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:56,970 pioneer Venus spacecraft sent there by 675 00:15:56,970 --> 00:15:59,510 pioneer Venus spacecraft sent there by NASA to study the cloud shrouded planet 676 00:15:59,510 --> 00:15:59,520 NASA to study the cloud shrouded planet 677 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,720 NASA to study the cloud shrouded planet at close range know that Venus has got 678 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:02,730 at close range know that Venus has got 679 00:16:02,730 --> 00:16:04,940 at close range know that Venus has got dense sulfuric acid clouds that would 680 00:16:04,940 --> 00:16:04,950 dense sulfuric acid clouds that would 681 00:16:04,950 --> 00:16:06,620 dense sulfuric acid clouds that would seem to us to be something like a smog 682 00:16:06,620 --> 00:16:06,630 seem to us to be something like a smog 683 00:16:06,630 --> 00:16:09,050 seem to us to be something like a smog or a heavy fog which would burn your 684 00:16:09,050 --> 00:16:09,060 or a heavy fog which would burn your 685 00:16:09,060 --> 00:16:11,000 or a heavy fog which would burn your skin if you were exposed to these clouds 686 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:11,010 skin if you were exposed to these clouds 687 00:16:11,010 --> 00:16:13,220 skin if you were exposed to these clouds the bottom of the clouds is about 30 688 00:16:13,220 --> 00:16:13,230 the bottom of the clouds is about 30 689 00:16:13,230 --> 00:16:15,530 the bottom of the clouds is about 30 miles above the surface and below that 690 00:16:15,530 --> 00:16:15,540 miles above the surface and below that 691 00:16:15,540 --> 00:16:16,879 miles above the surface and below that the atmosphere is 692 00:16:16,879 --> 00:16:16,889 the atmosphere is 693 00:16:16,889 --> 00:16:19,309 the atmosphere is you can see for great distances as you 694 00:16:19,309 --> 00:16:19,319 you can see for great distances as you 695 00:16:19,319 --> 00:16:20,629 you can see for great distances as you go deeper and deeper into the atmosphere 696 00:16:20,629 --> 00:16:20,639 go deeper and deeper into the atmosphere 697 00:16:20,639 --> 00:16:23,030 go deeper and deeper into the atmosphere it gets hotter and hotter and eventually 698 00:16:23,030 --> 00:16:23,040 it gets hotter and hotter and eventually 699 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,979 it gets hotter and hotter and eventually when you get to the surface it's about 700 00:16:24,979 --> 00:16:24,989 when you get to the surface it's about 701 00:16:24,989 --> 00:16:27,439 when you get to the surface it's about 800 degrees Fahrenheit uns like being 702 00:16:27,439 --> 00:16:27,449 800 degrees Fahrenheit uns like being 703 00:16:27,449 --> 00:16:29,629 800 degrees Fahrenheit uns like being inside of a self-cleaning oven the 704 00:16:29,629 --> 00:16:29,639 inside of a self-cleaning oven the 705 00:16:29,639 --> 00:16:31,639 inside of a self-cleaning oven the temperatures are so hot that it would 706 00:16:31,639 --> 00:16:31,649 temperatures are so hot that it would 707 00:16:31,649 --> 00:16:34,009 temperatures are so hot that it would kill anyone who was exposed to them and 708 00:16:34,009 --> 00:16:34,019 kill anyone who was exposed to them and 709 00:16:34,019 --> 00:16:36,049 kill anyone who was exposed to them and the pressures are equivalent to being 710 00:16:36,049 --> 00:16:36,059 the pressures are equivalent to being 711 00:16:36,059 --> 00:16:38,030 the pressures are equivalent to being 3,000 feet deep in the ocean so the 712 00:16:38,030 --> 00:16:38,040 3,000 feet deep in the ocean so the 713 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,400 3,000 feet deep in the ocean so the pressures would be crushing the light 714 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:40,410 pressures would be crushing the light 715 00:16:40,410 --> 00:16:42,470 pressures would be crushing the light levels are so dim at the surface during 716 00:16:42,470 --> 00:16:42,480 levels are so dim at the surface during 717 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,629 levels are so dim at the surface during the day that it's sort of like the 718 00:16:44,629 --> 00:16:44,639 the day that it's sort of like the 719 00:16:44,639 --> 00:16:46,849 the day that it's sort of like the cloudiest day that we ever experience on 720 00:16:46,849 --> 00:16:46,859 cloudiest day that we ever experience on 721 00:16:46,859 --> 00:16:51,379 cloudiest day that we ever experience on the earth so it's a dim hot crushing 722 00:16:51,379 --> 00:16:51,389 the earth so it's a dim hot crushing 723 00:16:51,389 --> 00:16:54,679 the earth so it's a dim hot crushing place during the early years of the 724 00:16:54,679 --> 00:16:54,689 place during the early years of the 725 00:16:54,689 --> 00:16:56,749 place during the early years of the solar system's history conditions may 726 00:16:56,749 --> 00:16:56,759 solar system's history conditions may 727 00:16:56,759 --> 00:16:58,759 solar system's history conditions may have been right for life to exist on 728 00:16:58,759 --> 00:16:58,769 have been right for life to exist on 729 00:16:58,769 --> 00:17:01,309 have been right for life to exist on Venus one of the key elements was water 730 00:17:01,309 --> 00:17:01,319 Venus one of the key elements was water 731 00:17:01,319 --> 00:17:03,439 Venus one of the key elements was water according to geologist dr. Harold 732 00:17:03,439 --> 00:17:03,449 according to geologist dr. Harold 733 00:17:03,449 --> 00:17:06,620 according to geologist dr. Harold Mazursky well we think that there was a 734 00:17:06,620 --> 00:17:06,630 Mazursky well we think that there was a 735 00:17:06,630 --> 00:17:09,980 Mazursky well we think that there was a lot of water in Venus like there is on 736 00:17:09,980 --> 00:17:09,990 lot of water in Venus like there is on 737 00:17:09,990 --> 00:17:12,590 lot of water in Venus like there is on the earth but it's not there now it's 738 00:17:12,590 --> 00:17:12,600 the earth but it's not there now it's 739 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,779 the earth but it's not there now it's way too hot there's water vapor in the 740 00:17:14,779 --> 00:17:14,789 way too hot there's water vapor in the 741 00:17:14,789 --> 00:17:18,110 way too hot there's water vapor in the atmosphere so the big question is early 742 00:17:18,110 --> 00:17:18,120 atmosphere so the big question is early 743 00:17:18,120 --> 00:17:20,149 atmosphere so the big question is early in its history did it have condensed 744 00:17:20,149 --> 00:17:20,159 in its history did it have condensed 745 00:17:20,159 --> 00:17:22,909 in its history did it have condensed water on the surface and we can look for 746 00:17:22,909 --> 00:17:22,919 water on the surface and we can look for 747 00:17:22,919 --> 00:17:25,159 water on the surface and we can look for that in high-resolution radar pictures 748 00:17:25,159 --> 00:17:25,169 that in high-resolution radar pictures 749 00:17:25,169 --> 00:17:27,169 that in high-resolution radar pictures and the way we do it is you look for 750 00:17:27,169 --> 00:17:27,179 and the way we do it is you look for 751 00:17:27,179 --> 00:17:30,860 and the way we do it is you look for shorelines because there are dried lakes 752 00:17:30,860 --> 00:17:30,870 shorelines because there are dried lakes 753 00:17:30,870 --> 00:17:32,690 shorelines because there are dried lakes now in the western United States that 754 00:17:32,690 --> 00:17:32,700 now in the western United States that 755 00:17:32,700 --> 00:17:34,370 now in the western United States that were full of water during the Ice Age 756 00:17:34,370 --> 00:17:34,380 were full of water during the Ice Age 757 00:17:34,380 --> 00:17:36,350 were full of water during the Ice Age and we can see that evidence clearly 758 00:17:36,350 --> 00:17:36,360 and we can see that evidence clearly 759 00:17:36,360 --> 00:17:39,080 and we can see that evidence clearly there are short bars that were made when 760 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:39,090 there are short bars that were made when 761 00:17:39,090 --> 00:17:41,060 there are short bars that were made when there was water so we can look for those 762 00:17:41,060 --> 00:17:41,070 there was water so we can look for those 763 00:17:41,070 --> 00:17:43,430 there was water so we can look for those kinds of things that may have been there 764 00:17:43,430 --> 00:17:43,440 kinds of things that may have been there 765 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,740 kinds of things that may have been there in the past on Venus surface we were 766 00:17:45,740 --> 00:17:45,750 in the past on Venus surface we were 767 00:17:45,750 --> 00:17:47,779 in the past on Venus surface we were utterly surprised on Mars by 768 00:17:47,779 --> 00:17:47,789 utterly surprised on Mars by 769 00:17:47,789 --> 00:17:49,610 utterly surprised on Mars by understanding that the history was 770 00:17:49,610 --> 00:17:49,620 understanding that the history was 771 00:17:49,620 --> 00:17:51,769 understanding that the history was different early and the same thing is 772 00:17:51,769 --> 00:17:51,779 different early and the same thing is 773 00:17:51,779 --> 00:17:54,560 different early and the same thing is true the earth so it would be strange if 774 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:54,570 true the earth so it would be strange if 775 00:17:54,570 --> 00:17:56,690 true the earth so it would be strange if Venus had always been the same as it is 776 00:17:56,690 --> 00:17:56,700 Venus had always been the same as it is 777 00:17:56,700 --> 00:17:58,149 Venus had always been the same as it is now 778 00:17:58,149 --> 00:17:58,159 now 779 00:17:58,159 --> 00:18:02,389 now lightning active volcanoes

00:25:53,260 --> 00:25:56,670 logged nearly 2 billion miles in space since 1977 Voyager 2 will point its 1126 00:25:56,670 --> 00:25:56,680 since 1977 Voyager 2 will point its 1127 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,950 since 1977 Voyager 2 will point its sensors and TV cameras at a planet we 1128 00:25:58,950 --> 00:25:58,960 sensors and TV cameras at a planet we 1129 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,520 sensors and TV cameras at a planet we have never seen up close Uranus 1130 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:01,530 have never seen up close Uranus 1131 00:26:01,530 --> 00:26:04,110 have never seen up close Uranus Voyager project scientist dr. Edward 1132 00:26:04,110 --> 00:26:04,120 Voyager project scientist dr. Edward 1133 00:26:04,120 --> 00:26:06,210 Voyager project scientist dr. Edward stone NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory 1134 00:26:06,210 --> 00:26:06,220 stone NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory 1135 00:26:06,220 --> 00:26:08,970 stone NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena California well there are 1136 00:26:08,970 --> 00:26:08,980 in Pasadena California well there are 1137 00:26:08,980 --> 00:26:10,650 in Pasadena California well there are several unique things about Uranus first 1138 00:26:10,650 --> 00:26:10,660 several unique things about Uranus first 1139 00:26:10,660 --> 00:26:12,210 several unique things about Uranus first of all it's the most remote planet that 1140 00:26:12,210 --> 00:26:12,220 of all it's the most remote planet that 1141 00:26:12,220 --> 00:26:13,680 of all it's the most remote planet that we will we will have visited in the 1142 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:13,690 we will we will have visited in the 1143 00:26:13,690 --> 00:26:16,290 we will we will have visited in the Solar System it formed in a much colder 1144 00:26:16,290 --> 00:26:16,300 Solar System it formed in a much colder 1145 00:26:16,300 --> 00:26:18,270 Solar System it formed in a much colder region of the solar nebula and therefore 1146 00:26:18,270 --> 00:26:18,280 region of the solar nebula and therefore 1147 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:19,710 region of the solar nebula and therefore is made of different materials than 1148 00:26:19,710 --> 00:26:19,720 is made of different materials than 1149 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,020 is made of different materials than either Jupiter or Saturn so we will be 1150 00:26:22,020 --> 00:26:22,030 either Jupiter or Saturn so we will be 1151 00:26:22,030 --> 00:26:23,790 either Jupiter or Saturn so we will be studying the different properties of 1152 00:26:23,790 --> 00:26:23,800 studying the different properties of 1153 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,070 studying the different properties of Uranus and its satellites the other 1154 00:26:26,070 --> 00:26:26,080 Uranus and its satellites the other 1155 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,720 Uranus and its satellites the other interesting thing about Uranus is that 1156 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:27,730 interesting thing about Uranus is that 1157 00:26:27,730 --> 00:26:29,310 interesting thing about Uranus is that it's tipped over on its side with its 1158 00:26:29,310 --> 00:26:29,320 it's tipped over on its side with its 1159 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,320 it's tipped over on its side with its spin axis at this time basically 1160 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:31,330 spin axis at this time basically 1161 00:26:31,330 --> 00:26:33,210 spin axis at this time basically pointing at the Sun so it's it has a 1162 00:26:33,210 --> 00:26:33,220 pointing at the Sun so it's it has a 1163 00:26:33,220 --> 00:26:34,530 pointing at the Sun so it's it has a much different orientation with respect 1164 00:26:34,530 --> 00:26:34,540 much different orientation with respect 1165 00:26:34,540 --> 00:26:36,159 much different orientation with respect to the Sun 1166 00:26:36,159 --> 00:26:36,169 to the Sun 1167 00:26:36,169 --> 00:26:38,229 to the Sun many questions will be answered during 1168 00:26:38,229 --> 00:26:38,239 many questions will be answered during 1169 00:26:38,239 --> 00:26:40,840 many questions will be answered during the encounter before the tiny one-ton 1170 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:40,850 the encounter before the tiny one-ton 1171 00:26:40,850 --> 00:26:43,149 the encounter before the tiny one-ton spacecraft ventures even further into 1172 00:26:43,149 --> 00:26:43,159 spacecraft ventures even further into 1173 00:26:43,159 --> 00:26:45,159 spacecraft ventures even further into our solar system to visit the eighth 1174 00:26:45,159 --> 00:26:45,169 our solar system to visit the eighth 1175 00:26:45,169 --> 00:26:49,389 our solar system to visit the eighth planet from the Sun Neptune Voyager to 1176 00:26:49,389 --> 00:26:49,399 planet from the Sun Neptune Voyager to 1177 00:26:49,399 --> 00:26:52,019 planet from the Sun Neptune Voyager to successfully examine Uranus in early 1178 00:26:52,019 --> 00:26:52,029 successfully examine Uranus in early 1179 00:26:52,029 --> 00:26:56,019 successfully examine Uranus in early 1986 comet Halley was also studied by an 1180 00:26:56,019 --> 00:26:56,029 1986 comet Halley was also studied by an 1181 00:26:56,029 --> 00:26:58,960 1986 comet Halley was also studied by an armada of spacecraft during an X program 1182 00:26:58,960 --> 00:26:58,970 armada of spacecraft during an X program 1183 00:26:58,970 --> 00:27:01,359 armada of spacecraft during an X program we'll see comet Halley and Uranus 1184 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:01,369 we'll see comet Halley and Uranus 1185 00:27:01,369 --> 00:27:04,060 we'll see comet Halley and Uranus results that's all we have for this 1186 00:27:04,060 --> 00:27:04,070 results that's all we have for this 1187 00:27:04,070 --> 00:27:06,849 results that's all we have for this edition of NASA images but before we
