Hi everyone, Alex here, welcome to the remaster of the video that made this channel possible! It was my first ever video to take off. I've come a long way since then, and wanted to revisit this amazing planet with updated visuals and audio. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who joined Patreon. Your membership is what allows me to keep Astrum what it is, and not what the algorithm looks for. bit.ly/4anEb5u

Did you have to re-upload this because the preview bots thought Olympus Mons was a nipple?

Whenever I think of how Earth looks to other planets, I think of Carl Sagan’s “pale blue dot” quote, and everything in my life feels so small and meaningless. Instead of feeling depressed or horrified, it calms me, and helps me distress a little just knowing how insignificant we are in the grand scheme of the universe.

Many years ago a friend of mine got himself a telescope. When he first trained it on Mars, the planet was experiencing a global sand storm. He described it as an orange fuzz ball. We both got better views later, and could make out features like the polar ice cap. I'm totally glad I got that opportunity.

The only thing I regret while watching your videos is not having a 70" 8K TV, and a surround audio system. Man, what an experience your videos would be.... Great work, as always, Astrum!

Thank you Astrum team!! The way you communicate astronomy is second to none! And I'm sure many enjoy the podcast but wish it were longer lol. I personally use it while I drift off to sleep. And the soft music you play at the end of the cast is perfect 👍

That thumbnail 😂

Yes!! I've been waiting for this for years!

Love the remasters for this series. We know so much more than we did back then and it gives you a chance to make a video of higher quality. I’m pretty new to this channel but it’s become one of my favorites and I’ve gone back and watched your older videos, especially about stars. I find stars and light to be very fascinating. It’s amazing too the images we can get now from Hubble, modern ground telescopes, rovers, and probes. We can see the wonders from space from our own little neighborhood here around the sun all the back to the distant past of the universe. There’s so much beauty on this planet that it’s a marvel to see the beautiful features of places we most likely won’t get the opportunity to go to. Keep up the good work

im 52 and i dont think i have 20 years left in me, i do hope in my lifetime i see human on mars seeing how space exploration has moved along in my life, seeing mankind land on mars would be the pinnacle

Mars will always be near and dear to me. The landing of the Pathfinder/Sojourner mission was a big part of my first date with my now-husband, and sometimes I go back and look at the little collage I made - this was the 90s, it must have taken me hours to find and print out two dozen different images of the rover and of Mars. Good times! I'll always be fascinated by this planet and your videos in particular have been a joy for me. Whatever you choose to remaster next, I'm here for it!

Mars' huge mountain looks like a nipple 👀 and it's 100% why I'm here

Thanks for the update, new imagery is brilliant.

If you don't have 4K turned on DO IT NOW! There are some absolutely STUNNING images you have to see in high-res.

Super interesting as always, Alex. Thanks.

Thanks Alex. Happy to see all your video's on solar system bodies remastered.

As always, a pleasure to watch and listen too. Thanks Alex

Amazing video like always, Astrum! i'd LOVE to see a revisited video of Neptune, my favourite planet! keep up the great work!

Excited to watch this 👍

Thanks Alex. Always a Joy watching your interesting presentations👍👍

Great video!!

Cool your can see the moon orbiting the Earth from Mars!

A brilliant video- thank you!

Thanks for remastering these old videos, Alex. What a ride it's been, innit? Cheers to you and your team.

I absolutely love your videos .

Truly engaging video. Thanks.

One of your best videos...in my humble opinion.

Thanks heaps Alex love your work and videos

Tremendous video Alex. - another triumph. I need to see what’s happening with my notifications as I haven’t seen a video of yours for ages. Flippin algorithm ! Your videos I view as part of my staple KZfaq diet… so why haven’t I been seeing them. Grrr !

I have rewatched some of my favourite from the original series so a remaster is wonderful

Great remaster! My favourite part of the video is still: "Let me show you an example." *loads up beam ng*

so amazing, thanks for sharing

i subscribed after your videos on jupiter's moons ... loved them a lot

I love your channel, I love the videos, the information and your voice the words of presentation. It is so fascinating. Every video ist a work of art in science.

Wow... nice job. Thanx

Just beautiful and fascinating. I love everything about space. So cool that i was in that photo!

I love that picture of Earth and the Moon. Like you said everyone, ever is in it. Also, everywhere we have walked.

Very interesting!! Thank you

Thank you!

your work is loved. thanks alex.

I vividly remember your 1st video - this follow up is highly appreciated

Thank you, Alex! 🟠

Amazin' Thank you for this.

I have never seen that Earth and Moon photos before. Delightful

Amazing

I did not know that Mars had a tilt... and therefore seasons. Thank you for sharing this.

how humbling space is. if only everyone were to share this perspective.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="273">4:33</a> that gravity representation was great!!

Simply awesome!

i like how you explained the things etc., videography si astounding. it can be use in schools

Excellent video❤

Thank you so much Alex! Your presentations are always wonderful and your enthusiasm is infectious. I need to mention a fact that is never covered in the presentations of Mars in anyone's video but is truly astonishing. There is so much water on Mars that if the surface water was melted including the hidden glaciers it would comprise an ocean of about hundred and 15 feet deep over the entire planet. Could you please and a feature video give this theme sometime? From Wikipedia:A bundant water ice is also present beneath the permanent carbon dioxide ice cap at the Martian south pole. More than 5 million km3 of ice have been detected at or near the surface of Mars, enough to cover the whole planet to a depth of 35 meters (115 ft).[13] Even more ice might be locked away in the deep subsurface.

My favorite fact, which I just learned, thanks Alex, is the reason Mars has that color. It also got my imagination zooming thinking about the megastructures that had to have been there to create that much rust. The Fe was mined from that used to be Grand Canyon size, crevasse Valles Marineris. That's where all the oxygen hiding. When we go back and start building again, more iron we use, easier it'll be to breathe. Now that's one helluvan incentive right there. Lol

I love the blue sunsets.

Great video

Alex! The best youtuber on Earth!

My favorite "fact" about Mars is old science fiction stories, written before we knew what we now know. Those stories are so fun and fantastic to read.

I love you guys.

Nice to see a glacial form get a spotlight, even if only an image. It was videos like yours that got me to seriously consider planetary sciences as a direction I may want to go in, and now I study Mars full time! Great to see this re-make showing off the best planet in our solar system.

Very nice video.

I enjoy learning about other celestial objects .

Hell yes!

Thanks for showing us the solar eclipses on Mars in the end. I loved it. Almost brought me to tears! Remaster Jupiter, please. Thanks!

I love hiking in mountains and canyons. The beauty is awe inspiring. My dream would be to hike on Mars, if somehow I could survive without a spacesuit. The geology looks amazing.

love the shot of earth from Mars 🙂

We love you and your voice is so pleasant to listen to. Also, *thank you* for not injecting any politics into your videos.

Breath taking sights. Something internally still yerns to go there and experience it. However, this is as close as we can get and I feel fortunate to have lived in a time where we can get this level of access to another world.

kinda looks ultra peaceful ..no garbage no deformations just pure creation undisturbed

I love the spiral pattern, it is the pattern that is constantly repeated in the Milky Way

Another wonderful and interesting vid. You make it easy for people with no knowledge to understand the bigger picture. If I could choose a remastered vid it would be the moons of the two gas giants, Jupiter and Saturn. These along with Mars have been touted as the most likely place for human settlement.

Mars looks stunningly like taking the scenic route on a drive through Arizona.

A deep dive into the memories of Mars. We all have memories. A beginning and an end. So will Mars. And that alone proves our existence. I just was browsing through this channel while partially listening to the world as we know it might not exist or something from this channel and just wanted to leave this comment.

Fascinating! Is there enough info for a doc on Neptune's moon, Triton?

My favourite Mars fact: we're yet to visit in person. We live in very exciting days

I like Mars. Alot!. But this video make me love it even more.

Love ur Mazs video

Why is it you are so good at explaining/teaching the things I think kids should be learning at school...???!!! But... Thank you for, well, being you!!!

And you made everyone on this photo look so fine. Nice1.

Beautiful breathtaking thumbnail! Really sad you're probably gonna change it later in the week...

real ones remember the original upload

You have the most beautiful narrating voice on KZfaq.

There’s an unlisted version on his channel that appears to be slightly longer lmao

My desert, my mars, my dunes.

We ❤ you

Charon and Pluto. You know what all your videos are good. Even thoe Charon and Pluto are now classed as a celestrial body? They are still part of our solar system. I wouldn't mind an update or refresher, including whats around them. I enjoy all your videos with well-educated theories and facts.

do some more deep space objects, aka pulsars, magnetars, neutron stars. love to hear more of that.

The selfie of all of us on the planet Earth is so profound

As a kid I watched Neil Armstrong walk on the moon, I have always wanted to go to Mars, I guess I am too old now.

I thought the thumbnail was a nip-slip. Turns out it was a darn good video!

Noice one team, lovely upload and um, arousing thumbnail

i would really love to see more videos of the planets around our neighbouring stars and for a remaster video, i'd love to see new videos about the moon europa and titan

What first got me interested in space was the National Geographic articles about Pathfinder back in 1997! I was fascinated be the idea that we can control/communicate with machine sso far away. And then Pathfinder itself was even in the book/movie The Martian in 2015!

All I think about when I see Valles Marineris is Mass Effect (they used that valley's image to simulate the The Great Rift Valley on Klendagon. The "glancing blow of a powerful mass accelerator")

I cant even remember when I first found this channel… gotta be close to 10 yrs now, I have always enjoyed all your videos, as have my kids. As far as a remake idk maybe either a Cassini, Pluto, or Jupiter remaster… idc i will watch them all. Has there been anything news in regard to New Horizons?

There's an interesting fact about seasons on Mars that even most space enthusiasts don't know. Because the orbit of Mars is significantly eccentric, its distance from the Sun varies much more than the Earth. When Mars is closer to the Sun, Mars gets more sunlight, and when it's farther from the Sun, it gets less sunlight. On the Earth, the warmest and coldest times of year aren't the solstices. This is because the Earth has big oceans that take a long time to heat up and cool down. Because Mars lacks oceans, it doesn't experience this seasonal lag. On Mars, the northern summer solstice happens to line up approximately with the time when Mars is farthest from the Sun in its orbit. When the northern hemisphere of Mars points toward the Sun, summer happens, but sunlight is weaker because Mars is farther from the Sun. When the northern hemisphere of Mars points away from the Sun, winter happens, but sunlight is stronger because Mars is closer to the Sun. The southern hemisphere experiences the opposite, with weaker sunlight during the winter and stronger sunlight during the summer. The result is that some places in the northern hemisphere experience practically no seasons at all, and seasons throughout the whole northern hemisphere are rather mild. The southern hemisphere, however, experiences extreme seasons. For this reason, all missions to Mars have been to places in its north or tropics - where seasons are mild and temperatures stay relatively warm and consistent throughout the Martian year. It's easier, cheaper, and safer to send missions there because the weather is better. The south of Mars has yet to see a single mission because it's much more difficult, expensive, and risky to design a mission that could handle the extreme seasons there.

Pluto and Mercury. The small, unimportant planets that had so many surprises!

My favorite fact about Mars is the crater that's so deep the atmospheric pressure gets high enough during certain times of year for liquid water to be stable at the bottom. Hellas Planitia I think is what it's called.

Your video is the reason i installed ad blocker

That spider section was uncalled for. You know what you did.
