Wow! This video is absolutely stunning! I have a report on good ol' Triton coming up in my astronomy class, and I was wondering if I could show this video? I'm sure the class would love it! And I'm sure a few others who are doing reports on other planets would love to use your other videos as reference, so I'd be sure to direct them all to your beautiful channel! Thanks for everything! ^_^
Love this -and your other videos AggManUK. Thankyou.
Especially loved the fly-over of the Tritonian landscape at the end.
One very small factual nit that I'd just like to point out so you can correct it in an updated version if there is one (please!) : There are actually a lot more small moonlets of the gas giant planets have retrograde orbits -not just those you listed but many more. These are all tiny objects most only discovered in the past few decades but they *are* out there.
I've seen the data on Triton's decaying captured orbit, which your correct about. My sources say, it's less than 800 million years though, before it starts to become a ring of Neptune. I had a nerd buddy of mine run some numbers on that a few months ago and that's what his computer program came up with. That's a lot sooner than 3.6 billion years. Is that the number NASA came up with? What numerical program algorithm did they use to come up with that number?
@CamIAmSo Thanks for the fantastic comment. It really makes making the videos worth while when people enjoy them as much as you do. :O)
Just to clear something up... My name is Derek Harrigan (AggManUK). I made these for my son Sol Harrigan, who will be 7 years old in July 2011. :O) I like the thought of being classed as an awsome dad though!!! So glad you enjoy them so much, please feel free to spread the word. All the best to you, always! :O)
The sun is the energy source behind Triton's volcanoes. The measly energy that the moon recieves penetrate the solid nitrogen crust and is absorbed by the 'liquid' nitrigen under the surface thus heating it.
Now here's the interesting bit.... this heat (infra red radiation) cannot escape through the solid nitrogen crust as solid nitrogen is opaque to infra red radiation! This is an example of a solid greenhouse effect! So heat builds up evapourating the liquid nitrogen under the surface! The resultant pressure therefore is great enough to the destroy the crust erupting in a volcanoe!
Wow! Greatness! I love the way you do animation. I'm going to watch all these. I'm doing an animated sci-fi scene set in orbit of Jupiter and moons, and your animations are extremely inspiring! Really great!
I've just posted / linked this - & also your 'The Journey' and 'Jupiter' clips on facebook to a planetarium group I'm in plus my fb page. Hope that's okay with you - thanks again - wonderful work indeed. Really loved this esp. the ending over-flight. :-)
I have tried to close my eyes and invision myself looking out of a space ship window at the surface of Triton by way of this video and it's music. So far i've seen 1/3 of the planet. You gotta try it.
It's seems it's very cold to hold life. If its volcanos erupt water-amonia instead of lava. What would happen if it were to a relative distance to the sun?
Neptune is very far away, but we could see the dwarf planet pluto with the powerful telescopes. So why wouldn't we be able to see the surface of Triton?
@TheTornadoStorm If you go to 48:20 of this video: youtube[dot]com/user/setiinstitute#p/c/6/R_ZGFx6-xXs you'll see how Triton looks with our best imaging versus Pluto. We don't have very good images of Pluto either. Wait until the New Horizons mission reaches it in 2015. Unfortunately, there are no missions planned for Trition, so Voyager images are still the best we'll have for a long time.
At last, one video got it right. Others say that Triton is "the only moon with a retrograde orbit." But this one not only acknowledges that there are other moons with such orbits, but names them as well. Plus it refers to Triton as "the only MAJOR moon with a retrograde orbit" (emphasis mine). Well done for the first 1:25. I'll report on the rest later.
You have REALLY COOL videos, sometimes they seem like the only intelligent videos on YouTube (that I have watched). If I may ask, what program did you use to make them. All the best. Thanks!
I LOVE watching your videos! I have to see them more than just once, because you do such an OUTSTANDING JOB! The fact that Triton is geologically active, it should be considered a planetary object of interest, like Europa, Titan and Enceladus. If NASA sends a mission to Neptune, they should send a probe to Triton. It's probably more active than astronomers think! I think so! It probably has vast caverns of liquid organic chemicals under the cryovolcanic crust, and maybe even some thermal vents.
AWESOME! BEAUTIFUL! WHAT AN AWESOME JOB! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! Triton is one of my favorite moons. It's strange retrograde orbit will cause it to collide with Neptune. Maybe Triton will slowly return after that? As of now, we don't know. We really should send a probe, like the Cassini-Huygens mission to Titan, but to Triton. It's much farther, but our technology is getting better! I would love to see the surface, and walk on it, myself! AWESOME! =D
This is one of my favorite moons in our solar system. Why? Its Orbit is realy fascinating me. It must have a large mass for its size to have a retrograde orbit and its triangle is 23°. On that facts im quite sure it was a dwarf planet or Kuiperbelt object in the past time. It must be catched up in its orbit when it getted to close in Neptunes magnetic fields. It has almost the same composing like Pluto. But is Neptune effecting Pluto? That would be a interesting question.
Why can't I live long enough and be young enough to go to Triton, Enceladus, Titan...? Our only task at this time is to help our children reach that goal...
Nice job! I really liked that you left the writing on the screen long enough to read. I hate when a whole bunch of text comes up and just as you start to read it it's already disappearing! Then you have to constantly pause things. Really informative and well done.
aww poor Triton, lol thing is though in about 3.6 billion years from now the Andromeda Galaxy is going to collide with our Galaxy, im sure you already know this but i find that... well... scary as fuck but also i dont think we'll be around at that time, i mean 3.6 billion years is sooooo long.
This kinda bothering me for quite some time...how did our scientist manage to get hose facts and images for every planets when we don't have spacecraft or good space technology? Is all of this done with theory and math calculations and light reflection?
I bet Triton is a captured Kuiper Belt Object, esp. given it's icy demeanor and retrograde orbit. I won't be surprised if New Horizons finds Pluto to be quite similar. Then again, I won't be surprised if Pluto is very different.
Awesome, I always wanted to see what surface of Triton might look like, the ending part was so real. I was working on triton for 2 month and gathering information for my project, this video helped me a lot. TNKX
Voyager is the only probe to get close so far. :O( There will be more in the future though. If you google "actual images of Triton" you will see almost every image available right now on the JPL site. They are pretty cool. :O)
@Djelomou Exactly. Only Voyager stuff exists so far. Earth-based telescopes can't take images or videos of such a small (due to the distance between Earth and Neptune) object like Triton. Even with an optical telescope of 20-30 meters of diameter is somewhat small to take the clearest, sharpest image of Triton possible. That's why they send spacecraft there. Imagine for example how an optical telescope with - say - 100 meters of diameter would cost.. at least twice the cost of a spacecraft.
Thanks for the illuminating anim of how a giant planet pulverises its inward-spiralling satellites. End sequence simulating the surface is a jaw-dropper :) 5*
Thanks very much for watching! :O) If i remember correct, the end sequence was from Journey to the edge of the universe. Thanks again! All the best! :O)
Hey Agg, hmm I have a question. If a moon like triton can pass below Neptune's roche limit without hitting Neptune, can asteroids orbitting/hitting Earth tear into pieces by moving into Earth's "roche limit" instead of hitting the Earth? Or maybe this is just because of Neptunes extreme pressures? All the best!
Good question, it depends on their trajectory and the speed they are spiralling in. Triton is moving in very, very slowly, whilst that would be very rare for an asteroid to Earth. Think of what happened to shoemaker levy 9 with Jupiter on a smaller scale. :O)
*GASP* whoa...nevermind lol we don't want that now do we? Lol and I thought it would be pretty sweet if we send chunks of sand and dust into Earth's orbit to make rings around it. But nahh, once again, my crazy imagination! :)
ahh your the only person i like the videos from take a look i wached all of your videos i think XD and nice vid again 5 starrs keep up the good workr :)
love the video and amazed about the facts of triton but just one question. i heard that it isn't gonna crash into neptune. instead because its going in retrograde orbit, the pressure of neptunes prograde orbit rips the surface up causing the gizers, and that soon it will just completely rip up and all the pieces will orbit neptune and like you said it will be as big as saturns rings. but people say it will crash into neptune instead of ripping up. im confused? please reply! thanks!
It all comes down to what happens when it passes below Neptune's Roche limit. There is no doubt that if this happens (as is) then it will be torn apart before reaching Neptune forming rings. It would take something very odd and catastrophic to happen for Triton to directly hit Neptune in its full form. Although that is very unlikely, there is always a small chance, as Triton being ripped apart is an unknown and unpredictable thing. :O)
hmmm....good point. maybe triton has an active core like the other planets, because nothing else except a retrograde orbit going around a prograde can make gizers. also if the water (if it is) is warm then it means it has an active core. planets and moons have so many mysteries and secrets! its so anoying lol! anyway i probably think triton had its own orbit around the sun at the birth of our solar system and it had a orbit like pluto and one day went too close and got captured by neptune
I think Triton was formed elsewhere then wandered into Neptune's terrority and its gravity pulled it in from other side...if we look at Neptune with our backs to the Sun then Triton may have come in from the right and passed in front of Neptune hence begun the retrograde orbit movement. Where did you get information about the orbit decay??
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Mars have captured asteroids with low mass. Triton is an unique moon....a spherical disk due to larger mass. All the..LOL!
Thank you very much for watching and leaving the great comment! :O) I think there is a little bit of nerd in all of us, or quite a lot when it cvmes to myself! LOL All the best! :O)
how do we know that tritan did not condence in the primordial solar nebula
and maybe it was a planet itself but then something colided with it knocking it towards neptune if it was a long time age then the scar would be covered mostly due to the things shotting out the ground (cant remember name) so it would have resurfaced and the strange orbit would be due to this collision
Tritons retrograde orbit is the first sign, and that it's orbit is decaying, though this is not proof, it does make you think it came from elsewhere. You are right in that it could have been knocked from elsewhere too, and indeed could have been a (dwarf) planet at some point. Its active surface could hide an impact too, but i think the size needed, would be visible on Triton today. There's also a theory that Triton was originally part of a binary system with a planet. :O) Great comment!
Haha I can see the wisdom learned from the retrograde orbit of celestial objects: if you disobey your master you'll eventually fall upon yourself (just like Triton will eventually crush itself into rings passing Neptune's roche limit)
and oh boy..haha I can't imagine Neptune with thick rings like Saturn in thousands of years from now. Such a shame that Triton decided to disobey Neptune by orbiting in retorgrade that it will eventually get crushed (haha just my own cartoon)
Hmm, it makes me feel sad to know Triton is doomed... It's one of the greatest and the most beautifull moon for me! And the beautifull music makes me more sad :( :D. AggManUK, where did you find all the music of Mike Oldfield?.. tried to find it on Imesh and Limewire, but I don't find much...
Hi again Timmy! It is a shame about Triton, but on the plus side of things... What a view! :O)
I am not sure where you can find his music, i am a big fan of his, so i actually bought all of Mike Oldfields CD's in the shops. So i can't help you there, sorry about that. All the best! :O)
Wow I can't imagine Neptune having huge rings like Saturn in so many billion years from now..it just seems weird! But we don't decide the fate of the Universe I guess...
Yes it is classed as that for now. Though some believe the title might go to one of Pluto's moons when more data is collected from the new horizons probe. Thanks for watching and the comment! :O) All the best!
Yes, there is a good possibilty it was. It is also possible that the other Dwarf Planets where once moons of Neptune too. Who knows? Maybe we will find out one day. :O)
There is plenty of Saturn if you google it. As for Neptune, because of its distance we havn't paid it many visits. I think just 1 off the top of my head. This will change in the future though. Cant wait!
Yes your right! I should have said 'future onlookers'. It is very doubtful that humans will be around then, and if we were we would be very diiferent to what we see ourselves as today. Thanks for the correction! All the best! :O)
Oh this whole thing was breathtaking...the music was just perfect with this...just flowing with the scenery...an amazing video..thank you for posting this!

It all comes down to what happens when it passes below Neptune's Roche limit. There is no doubt that if this happens (as is) then it will be torn apart before reaching Neptune forming rings. It would take something very odd and catastrophic to happen for Triton to directly hit Neptune in its full form. Although that is very unlikely, there is always a small chance, as Triton being ripped apart is an unknown and unpredictable thing. :O)

hmmm....good point. maybe triton has an active core like the other planets, because nothing else except a retrograde orbit going around a prograde can make gizers. also if the water (if it is) is warm then it means it has an active core. planets and moons have so many mysteries and secrets! its so anoying lol! anyway i probably think triton had its own orbit around the sun at the birth of our solar system and it had a orbit like pluto and one day went too close and got captured by neptune

We can't really tell what will happen to Neptune and Triton so what we can do right now is watch.

It is said that Triton will crash into neptune , its very own planet , someday. I dont know that that is true , but i believe in it
Exile017 2 years ago
Did you watch the video? Yes it's true. :O)
AggManUK 2 years ago
I think Triton was formed elsewhere then wandered into Neptune's terrority and its gravity pulled it in from other side...if we look at Neptune with our backs to the Sun then Triton may have come in from the right and passed in front of Neptune hence begun the retrograde orbit movement. Where did you get information about the orbit decay??
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Mars have captured asteroids with low mass. Triton is an unique moon....a spherical disk due to larger mass. All the..LOL!

gupta5882 2 years ago
how do we know that tritan did not condence in the primordial solar nebula
and maybe it was a planet itself but then something colided with it knocking it towards neptune if it was a long time age then the scar would be covered mostly due to the things shotting out the ground (cant remember name) so it would have resurfaced and the strange orbit would be due to this collision
just a thought
beech9999 2 years ago
Tritons retrograde orbit is the first sign, and that it's orbit is decaying, though this is not proof, it does make you think it came from elsewhere. You are right in that it could have been knocked from elsewhere too, and indeed could have been a (dwarf) planet at some point. Its active surface could hide an impact too, but i think the size needed, would be visible on Triton today. There's also a theory that Triton was originally part of a binary system with a planet. :O) Great comment!

Haha I can see the wisdom learned from the retrograde orbit of celestial objects: if you disobey your master you'll eventually fall upon yourself (just like Triton will eventually crush itself into rings passing Neptune's roche limit)
sharinganx12 2 years ago
and oh boy..haha I can't imagine Neptune with thick rings like Saturn in thousands of years from now. Such a shame that Triton decided to disobey Neptune by orbiting in retorgrade that it will eventually get crushed (haha just my own cartoon)

Hmm, it makes me feel sad to know Triton is doomed... It's one of the greatest and the most beautifull moon for me! And the beautifull music makes me more sad :( :D. AggManUK, where did you find all the music of Mike Oldfield?.. tried to find it on Imesh and Limewire, but I don't find much...

Hi again Timmy! It is a shame about Triton, but on the plus side of things... What a view! :O)
I am not sure where you can find his music, i am a big fan of his, so i actually bought all of Mike Oldfields CD's in the shops. So i can't help you there, sorry about that. All the best! :O)

isnt triton the coldest moon in our solar system?

Yes it is classed as that for now. Though some believe the title might go to one of Pluto's moons when more data is collected from the new horizons probe. Thanks for watching and the comment! :O) All the best!

Is it possible that Pluto was a former Moon Of Neptune Just curious :D
yana1music 2 years ago
Yes, there is a good possibilty it was. It is also possible that the other Dwarf Planets where once moons of Neptune too. Who knows? Maybe we will find out one day. :O)

MEXDOMINICANA 2 years ago 2
There is plenty of Saturn if you google it. As for Neptune, because of its distance we havn't paid it many visits. I think just 1 off the top of my head. This will change in the future though. Cant wait!

Humans still alive 3.4 billion years from now?
At this rate I'd be surprised if humans are still around two centuries from now. (And if so, still a technological civilization.)
Triton'll probably outlast humanity easily and many times over.
Shavarnarak 2 years ago 2
Yes your right! I should have said 'future onlookers'. It is very doubtful that humans will be around then, and if we were we would be very diiferent to what we see ourselves as today. Thanks for the correction! All the best! :O)
