1:32 That's no moon...

[Azoruk]

Are there any other of these for other planets/moons?

[darkpdxwolf]

The music at 0:56 is Adagio for Strings, is the beginning also that song? If not, does anyone know what it is?

[Apogeebooks]

Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. Fantastic job.

[etheangel2220]

Eat your heart out Galileo!

[smokeemifyougottem]

good choise of music...

[KarbineKyle]

The Saturnian System is so amazing and mysterious! The rings are so straight and thin, like grooves on a record. Its winds reach 1000 mph! It really is majestic! Its moons are also so very interesting and full of wonder. Iapetus, one side, black as tar, and the other, as bright as snow. Enceladus is small, bright, and icy, yet geologically active with cryovolcanoes at its south pole. Titan, has a thick hazy atmosphere, and has so many cold hydrocarbon lakes, streams, and geysers... JUST AMAZING!

nothing to do with the present, and yet everything to do with the present. we watch this film of something from our past. such a lovely spectacle. thank you so much for taking the time to put it together. you have helped the world come one step closer to forming a transcontinental understanding. so important. god bless you.

[Fko51]

Wonderful, amazing...!!!

[reinux]

is the ring really that thin? i thought it was composed of dust and asteroids.

[reinux]

@reinux oh, i guess it never actually flew into the ring... or if it did, it didn't snap while it passed by.

[Nalehw]

@reinux They're actually very thin - as little as 10 metres (33 feet).

[reinux]

@Nalehw oh wow, i was expecting it to be some number of kilometers.

[reinux]

@Nalehw actually come to think of it, it makes sense that over time the ring would become as thin as the diameter of the biggest particles, since there's a precise focus of gravity. cool. thanks for the info.

[Nalehw]

@reinux No worries. And I hadn't thought of that - that actually seems a pretty good explanation.

[rogerpenna]

@reinux

its only a few meters thick... at the speeds these craft fly, it would probably cross the rings at less than one frame of the video.

but NO, it never crossed the rings. Even without big sized chunks of rock or ice, there are too many micro or centimeter sized rocks and ice particles, that would destroy the craft when colliding at several kilometers per second.

I take it that what appears as the craft crossing the rings, its just an effect of the lens zooming in and out.

Death star at 1:25 !

[Nookiee89]

fake fake and gay, this shit is so fake like the trip to the moon, i think usa nasa always lies about planets and all this stuff, this is my point of view and thats why i think this is fake, and all the planet videos here on youtube, and im the bitch who dislike this video

[mushroomagicman]

@Nookiee89 must agree - it looks more like a catoon than a cartoon...

[DMFmonster]

@Nookiee89

Well, your opinions are your own. The fact they make you look like an idiot is incidental.

[therealMFfeelyaheard]

@DMFmonster I think they look fake also .. but incidental is a great word - well done

[thomasford]

@therealMFfeelyaheard

What does real look like? You ever orbited Saturn?

[MrPaulAlcantara]

wow thats awesome!

[uzimodem]

freaking awesome!

[docatomics]

...such journeys begin by imagineing getting there, then why;

~excellent insurance, just in case one works a life at it, yet must be content that those after them will have their change of making it, livining on in deed and imagination of those whome created the age old dream in the first place.

=this excellent representaive imagery makes imagnineing the journey so much more edutaining.

[vermilion2006]

can you tel me what is teh name of the melody in this video?

thanks

[albuemil]

@vermilion2006 "Samuel Barber - Adagio for Strings"

[albuemil]

Also, many people know it better because of the "modernized" version sang by Dj.Tiesto, look for "DJ Tiesto - Adagio for strings" on YT.

[funk192]

This has to be one of the top space videos of all time
