  • Brown dwarf stars are about the same size as Jupiter, but have a mass much higher. If Jupiter had a mass around 10 to 15 times what it has now, then it could produce enough heat to warm it's moons (planets). With the distance it has from Earth then temperatures here would not be raised by much, if at all. It wouldn't even have much of a glow, if any. It would also make it so the moons around Jupiter could support life, humans or otherwise.

  • Great video! 5/5

  • @Sarasdad91 Titan's atmosphere is largely composed of nitrogen; minor components lead to the formation of methane and ethane clouds and nitrogen-rich organic smog. It's more than enough to give the parachute something to break against.

  • 1:34 says Methane Rain (...Anal Rain?) XD

  • To answer people's question, this is technically not real. It's an animation, using real images taken from the Huygen's probe as a very accurate reference. Only 350 of the planned 700 images from Huygens got to Earth thanks to a software error. There was no video. Just photos. This is however really close to the real thing. Like so people can see.

  • This is better than science fiction any day.

  • @dunnono00 Well that would explain it. Thank you.

  • @Sarasdad91

    As mentioned in this video, Titan has an atmosphere. An atmosphere is the "shield" of gases surrounding a planet. In other words, air. Not breathable air, but air all the same.

  • I do not understand something. They use a parachute to land the probe and yet doesn't a parachute require air to make it work? There's never been any mention of air on Titan. How can they make a parachute work without air?

  • they are real, do you think they can just ship out a hd camera into space 2 billion miles away and for 7 years

  • @tobler0n3 The Real Footage i think because you can see co-ordinates to the bottom right of the video.

  • do you think they would actually release the original video? Its obvious that it has been manipulated for the general public.
