What If You Spent 5 Seconds on Mercury?

Mercury is a strange, hot mess of a planet. This rock is closest to the Sun, but its surface temperatures can plummet to as low as -180 °C (-290 °F). It has the strangest sunrises and sunsets in the entire Solar System. And one day on this planet lasts about two years. But you don't have to survive a whole day down there. We're sending our team member Chase on a mission to spend just 5 seconds on Mercury.

Let's talk about space. Space, also known as outer space, is the vast, seemingly infinite expanse that exists beyond Earth's atmosphere. It's a vacuum that extends beyond our planet and between celestial bodies such as stars, planets, moons, asteroids, and comets. Here are some key points about space: Size: Space is unimaginably large. It contains billions of galaxies, each comprising billions of stars, along with countless planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and other celestial objects. Cosmic Bodies: Space is populated by various cosmic bodies. Stars like our Sun, planets like Earth, gas giants like Jupiter, rocky bodies like asteroids and moons, and icy bodies like comets all exist within this vast realm. Gravity: Gravity is a fundamental force in space. It governs the motion of celestial bodies and keeps planets in orbit around stars. Gravity also causes stars to form into galaxies and galaxies to cluster together. Exploration: Humans have long been fascinated by space and have undertaken various missions to explore it. The Space Age began with the launch of Sputnik 1 by the Soviet Union in 1957, leading to the subsequent exploration of space by both robotic probes and crewed missions. Challenges of Space: Space exploration presents numerous challenges, including the vacuum of space, extreme temperatures, cosmic radiation, and microgravity. Overcoming these challenges requires advanced technology and careful planning. Potential for Life: One of the most intriguing questions about space is whether life exists beyond Earth. Scientists continue to search for signs of life on other planets and moons, with Mars being a primary target for exploration due to its similarities to Earth. Cosmology: Space is also the realm of cosmology, the study of the universe as a whole. Cosmologists seek to understand the origin, evolution, and eventual fate of the universe through observations, theoretical models, and experiments. Space Exploration Agencies: Several space agencies, including NASA (United States), ESA (European Space Agency), Roscosmos (Russia), CNSA (China National Space Administration), and others, conduct missions to explore space and advance our understanding of the cosmos. Overall, space is a vast and fascinating domain that continues to captivate the human imagination and drive scientific exploration and discovery. thanks for watching !

Thank you for mentioning Celsius in these videos . Otherwise as a European i would half to Google and convert all the time. Actually im Greek American but even though i have been in the States off and on throughout the years i never really made an effort to learn Fahrenheit...i just know that 0 Celsius is about 33 F.
