the solar system is just an astonishing
place there's so many amazing images
taken Europa is one of the weirdest
things anyone has ever seen in the solar
system no one could imagine a world
looking like that with this white
surface just covered in huge cracks that
we think are cracks in the ice covering
an ocean underneath we see in Saturn's
rings this 100,000 M wide sheet of
enormous numbers of ice particles that
are interacting in ways we could never
have imagined producing amazing patterns
that are changing all the time just
incredible complexity wherever we
look we live on Earth every day is spent
on Earth it's our home but we realize
that there's other worlds out there that
are equally interesting and fascinating
Triton uh out of Voyager I mean what a
beautiful world Triton is with its polar
cap with its wonderful crinkly edges
Triton is the largest moon of Neptune
and when Voyager flew by you could see
evidence of geysers on the surface IO
has erupting volcanoes Jupiter's moon IO
it's a beautiful image and you can see
the plume as it goes up and comes down
on the surface seeing that really makes
you feel there's a living world out
there Enceladus in the Saturn system
that has these Gees jetting water vapor
and Ice into space and we can image
those and actually fly through those
plumes and sniff the composition of this
gas coming right out of the interior of
this moon when you get images like this
you see that even pretty small bodies
have just amazing stories to tell
Rosetta took a selfie
of the
spacecraft with the comet in the
background and you can see a little jet
of gas coming off the comet and it's
only like 16 km away it's a beautiful
picture of a
spacecraft flying alongside this very
Strang looking
object every astronomer will try to seem
like a sober scientist who thinks
only about only about the data but the
truth is
that there are images or Spectra that
really make our hearts sing that really
just bring grins to our
[Music]
faces
