00:00The Sun. At its core, the immense pressure and temperatures produce a staggering 15 million

00:20degrees Celsius. Here, sunlight is produced and after bouncing around the solar interior

00:26for up to 200,000 years, it finally reaches the surface to be released into space.

00:33At the surface, the Sun is a lot cooler but still incredibly hot. It's still around 5,500 degrees or so.

00:41Yet here, on the surface of the Sun, we have found water. Not in a liquid state but in the form of steam.

00:51More specifically, this water has been found in these darker, slightly cooler regions called sunspots.

01:00You know, when a spacecraft takes off and a huge cloud of smoke is formed, usually covering the entire launch site.

01:07This is actually not smoke. Well, some of it is. But most of it is actually steam from the pool of water underneath the spacecraft.

01:15The water is used to absorb some of the acoustic shockwaves created during takeoff that could potentially bounce off the platform

01:22and basically shake the spacecraft apart.

01:28There's a mysterious phenomenon called long-delayed echoes.

01:32If you're in a large empty room, it's likely that sound will reflect off the surroundings and produce an echo.

01:39Radio signals kind of work the same way. So for example, radio waves that hit the Moon bounce back towards the Earth

01:48and produce an echo 2.7 seconds later.

01:51Now the strange thing is, people have sent radio signals into space and heard echoes up to 40 seconds later.

01:59If it were an object in space, it would be way beyond the Moon.

02:03Right now, no one really knows what's causing the echoes, but the most likely theory is that the signal somehow gets trapped in the atmosphere

02:12before bouncing back towards the Earth.

02:15Or you know, it could be some bored aliens playing space pong with us. One of the two.

02:19On the morning of September 1st, 1859, astronomer Richard Carrington was observing the Sun and noticed a cluster of enormous sunspots.

02:32After a while, Carrington spotted a sudden explosion of light erupting out of the sunspots.

02:38What he saw was something that is now referred to as a coronal mass ejection, or CME for short.

02:45The most devastating effect of these solar superstorms is that they can wipe out anything electronic.

02:52The Earth is basically bombarded with EMPs.

02:56Luckily for us, society's electrical framework was in its infancy at the time,

03:01and thus we didn't really experience any significant damage.

03:05Still, the event was powerful enough that it caused telegraphs to actually catch fire,

03:10while auroras could be seen across the globe.

03:13Imagine if an event like this struck the Earth today, at a time when everything and everyone so heavily depend on electricity.

03:23If the storm is strong enough, it could cause an apocalyptic event taking years or even decades to recover from.

03:30What's even scarier is that in 2012, this almost happened.

03:35A CME equal to or possibly even stronger than the Carrington event went straight through Earth's orbit.

03:43Luckily, Earth wasn't there this time.

03:47It's always hard to imagine the vastness of space.

03:54Take the Moon for example.

03:55Because it's something we can actually see with the naked eye, it feels like it's not that far away.

04:01I mean, we know it is, but we just don't have anything to actually compare that distance to.

04:07But if I put it like this, between the Earth and the Moon, we can fit not one, not two, not three,

04:14but all eight planets in the solar system side by side with a few thousand kilometers to spare.

04:22And that's just between us and the freaking Moon.

04:25The distances between the planets and beyond is just inconceivable.

04:30This is one of those facts where even I, as I'm reading this, have a hard time believing it's actually real.

04:38Another thing that speaks for the vastness, or maybe I should say the emptiness of space,

04:44is the fact that the Sun contains 99.85% of the total matter in our solar system.

04:52That leaves us with the insignificantly small amount of 0.135% for all the planets, including Earth.

04:59And that's just in our solar system.

05:02On a galactic scale, let's just say there would be a lot of zeros.

05:10NASA has its very own radio station called Third Rock Radio.

05:15Get it? Third Rock?

05:17Anyway, on this channel they play rock and alternative music along with Space News and NASA mission updates throughout.

05:24Rocket launches that take place between 30 to 60 minutes before sunrise or after sunset,

05:33produce a beautifully colorful effect called the Twilight Phenomenon.

05:37Basically, when the spacecraft rises out of the darkness and into the sunlit area of the still rising or setting sun,

05:44water left in the vapor trail of the launch vehicle reacts with a less dense upper atmosphere.

05:50The exhaust plume which is suspended against the backdrop of the dark night sky behind it is then illuminated by the sun.

05:58When we look at things in space, almost everything appears to be round.

06:04Large bodies are sphere-shaped, orbits are circular or elliptical,

06:09even solar systems and entire galaxies are spinning around and for the most part take the shape of a disc.

06:15Then there's Saturn.

06:17Saturn's north pole is quite bizarre as it goes against the natural roundness of the universe and take the shape of a hexagon.

06:25The strange cloud pattern was first discovered in 1981 and while some theories exist, it remains unexplained.

06:34And it's possible that Jupiter have similar shapes but as we've never actually taken a good photo of Jupiter's poles,

06:40we just don't know yet.

06:42Maybe when the spacecraft you know arrives in 2016, this mystery can be solved.

06:48Lastly, I just want to show you something.

06:54A simple image of the Andromeda galaxy.

06:57We've all probably seen an image or a photo of it before.

07:00After all, it's the closest spiral galaxy to our own.

07:04It was even the default background on Apple's OS X line, so millions have definitely seen it.

07:09Nevertheless, this is not just a common photo.

07:12At 69,536 by 22,230 pixels or 1.5 billion pixels in total, this 4.3 gigabyte file is the largest photo of the Andromeda galaxy ever taken.

07:27And it reveals something we have known all along, but it's really something else when you actually get to see it for yourself.

07:35As we come closer, it almost looks like there's an extreme amount of grain.

07:41But, as we advance, individual dots emerge from the chaos, and we begin to realize what one trillion stars actually looks like.

08:05The end of the chaos is reflected in the difference between the two of us and three of us and three of us at this time.

08:10By the return of theよ�문 stars, you can see a color of the dust.

08:12Thanks to it for yourself.

08:13However, after all the seismic and my eyes we may disappear.

08:15The next video is a spoiler that you'll see in the next video of the episode.

08:16The next video is related to your science which is awesome.
