The red planet Mars has two moons (Phobos and Deimos) and some of the most interesting features in the Solar System, including the towering volcano Olympus Mons. More physics and astronomy at http://www.sixtysymbols.com/

  • Brady (I believe that's your name, I've watched almost all the periodic and sixty symbol videos), are you considering a career in journalism? Perhaps Scientific journalism specifically?

  • @VanillaShoelace hi, my background is in journalism, including newspapers (where I was a science journalist) and then a video journalist for the BBC for several years.

    I still try to take quite a journalistic approach to all these videos.

  • Running a marathon on Phobos would be really lame - you would just jump from one side, wait a few hours and land on the other side.

  • @Envergure sounds like my kind of marathon! :)

  • @Envergure I think if you jump on Phobos you'd probably fly off. It's so small it probably has very weak gravity.

  • That picture of a sunset from mars blows my mind.

  • @dragos7puri Yeah, or fans. To be fair if they only planned a 90 day mission it wasn't a problem.

  • i think if the face on mars turned out to be a really genuine carved face on mars by some kind of intelligence it would have given our morale a real boost.

  • lol water on mars.. i c what u did there

  • At 4 minutes and something the professor says that dust would build up on the solar panels of the mars rovers and they would run out of power. But due to the storms the panels would be cleaned of the dust and the rover recharged. And because of this the rovers had a longer running life. My question is: Why didn't NASA put wipers on the damn panels?!

  • at 4:43 the women said that no water is on the surface... Does that mean water could be underground?

  • y u so biutiful?

  • Press 7 repeatedly :D

  • Press 6 repeatedly LOL
