Voyager: Beyond the Solar System (Probes Episode #3)
Of all the spacecraft to have visited other worlds, there are two which have travelled further than any other, discovering more about the Solar System than their inventors ever could have imagined. They are the legendary pair of Voyager Probes- still the only spacecraft ever to have visited the Ice Giant planets, Uranus and Neptune. The story of their 40 years in space makes up the topic of our video today- from the gas giants, to the ice worlds, and then out into the depths of interstellar space...SOUNDTRACK: - Just a Shadow | CO.AG Music (https://youtu.be/pRDzXIV5yKg?si=Z4ooBaD1wZmV_Y7B) - Deep Sleep | Amber Waldron (Storyblocks)- Beyond This Earth to the Stars | CO.AG Music(https://youtu.be/aPQl1d96_Bk?si=sLbl_gG8oqhcwuW0)- Contemplative | Amber Waldron (Storyblocks)- Spa Go | Gushito (Storyblocks) - Descend Into Horror 5 | CO.AG Music(https://youtu.be/Ev49l2ZGFmg?si=Cj4CUoob2wRCjSaQ)- Guitar Drone Meditation | Humans Win (Storyblocks)- SpaceShip | Jayson Wayne Brown (Storyblocks)CO.AG's Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@co.agmusicCHAPTERS00:00: Welcome Back01:31: The Grand Tour 06:00: Voyager-1's Gas Giants Mission09:40: Voyager-1's Titan Flyby12:27: The Pale Blue Dot14:30 Voyager-2's Gas Giant Mission18:15: Voyager-2's Uranus Encounter 21:24: Voyager-2's Neptune Encounter25:00: Exiting the Heliosphere 29:19: The Interstellar Mission 34:04: One Final World...

Journey to the Gas Giants (Probes Episode #2)
Far beyond the reaches of the four rocky planets, we find our Solar System's showpiece worlds- the two gas giants, Jupiter and Saturn. As the two largest planets, they both make tantalising targets for probes exploring the planetary neighbourhood, but both lie significantly further from the sun than the Earth and its terrestrial neighbours. But early in the 1970s, the technology for deep space voyages was primed, and missions to both Jupiter and Saturn ensued. Those missions make up the topic of our video today, in this second episode of our trilogy of Probes that Studied the Solar System.

Race to the Terrestrial Planets (Probes Episode #1)
From studying the dusty surface of Mars, to plunging into the atmosphere of Venus, over the last 60 years, we've launched hundreds of probes into space on trajectories to visit each of the terrestrial planets. But for all the fascinating discoveries made on the way, humanity's journey towards the stars started out in a much darker place- a battlefront between the world's then two great competing superpowers. And in this first episode on my new series on probes, we will revisit this space race, and the major milestones on route to visiting each of the terrestrial planets.CHAPTERS:00:00: Introduction02:32: The Space Race 04:48: Pioneer Probes07:32: Mariner Probes09:55: Mariner 4 Mars Mission12:27: Mariner 6 & 714:27: Mars Orbiters17:05: Landing on Mars 18:57: Landing on Venus 21:30: The Viking Probes26:12: Mercury Missions33:00: Mars Rover Missions 38:16: To be Continued...

The Final Age of the Solar System (Part 2)
Earth is a success story, a thriving world that has hosted life for almost 4 billion years. But, no matter how peaceful things are now, a new age is coming for the Solar System. An age of change, destruction and evolution. A place for new worlds and new stories, but one in which the Earth has no place.MUSIC:- Dreamscape - Density & Time - The Unknown - CO.AG Music - https://youtu.be/IFYTGVE1aRs- Sunrise on Mars - Audionautix- As Prevent You Do - pATCHES - At the Foot of the Sphinx - Twin Musicom - It Maintains, Eyes Change - Puddle of Infinity - Growing Space - Astron - The Blue Pearl - Jesse Gallagher - Kallimachou - Dan Bodan Sunrise on Mars by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license.https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Artist: http://audionautix.com/CHAPTERS: 00:00: Welcome Back00:15: The Next Billion Years 06:10: Milkdromeda Collision08:03: The Red Giant Branch13:12: Habitable Moons16:27: Titan 21:00: Titan's Prospects for Life23:24: Horizontal and Asymptotic Giant Branch26:52: The White Dwarf Sun29:19: The Solar System's Last Day

The Birth of the Solar System
The Solar System is vast and diverse, home to eight large planets, including one which gave rise to life. While humanity was born too late to witness the events that occurred at the birth of the Solar System first-hand, by peering into the surroundings of others stars, we are starting to piece together the events that unfolded at the birth of our own Solar System. Today, we shall explore the culmination of these decades of research, as we tell the story of the birth of the Solar System.MUSIC: - In the Throes - Asher Fulero- Song of Sadhana - Jesse Gallagher - Lord of the Dawn - Jesse Gallagher - Cylinder Three - Chris Zabriskie- Let Your Enemies Feel the Weight of Your Burdens - Chris Zabriskie - Lost Kingdom - CO.AG Music - Underwater Exploration - Godmode- The Sky is on Fire - CO.AG - I Am Running a Marathon - Chris Zabriskie- Somnolent - The TidesCO.AG's can be found on his YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcavSftXHgxLBWwLDm_bNvAAll songs by Chris Zabriskie are licensed under a Creative Commons 4.0 Attribution License. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Artist: http://chriszabriskie.com/CHAPTERS:00:00: Introduction 01:11: The Solar System 04:44: The Nebular Hypothesis 07:27: Star Formation 11:54: Planetary Formation Window 18:20: The Story of the Solar System 21:34: Rise of the Gas Giants 25:23: The Terrestrial Planets 30:46: Three Water Worlds

The James Webb Telescope (2022 Version)
On December 25th, 2021, NASA's most sophisticated, ground-breaking and expensive observatory ever blasted off from the Earth. The James Webb Telescope is an infrared observatory, capable of looking back all the way to the universe's first light. In this video, we will explore how this initiative came to be, and what the future holds in this exciting new age of astronomy.

When Black Holes Collide
Black holes are fascinating in so many ways- especially when you put two of them together. Their resonance and orbit physically ripples space itself, emitting waves that can travel through space for billions of years. Since 2016, we have been able to detect these gravitational wave events, and earlier this month, we detected a record-breaking one.

Dwarf Planets: Lesser Worlds
The Solar System is home to eight principal planets, but this is far from the full picture. Hidden beyond the orbit of Neptune are dozens of small, icy worlds, known as Dwarf Planets, or Minor Planets! The best example is Pluto, but there are dozens more orbiting within the same band of material in the outer Solar System. Today, we will visit these frozen, far out worlds first hand.MUSIC:- Mist - Odonis Odonis- Lucid Haze - Amulets - Shallow Depths - jAde Wii - At the Foot of the Sphinx - Twin Musicom - Length of Light - Amulets - Crystaline - Amulets - Doll Dancing - Puddle of Infinity - I Am Running Down the Long Hallway - Chris Zabriskie- Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring - Kevin MacLeodAt the Foot of the Sphinx by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Artist: http://www.twinmusicom.org/I Am Running Down the Long Hallway of Viewmont Elementary by Chris Zabriskie is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Source: http://chriszabriskie.com/honor/Artist: http://chriszabriskie.com/Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100189Artist: http://incompetech.com/CHAPTERS:00:00: Introduction01:52: Minor Planets 05:34: Ceres 09:15: The Kuiper Belt 11:49: Pluto16:43: Why the IAU Demoted Pluto 17:46: Eris 20:17: Haumea 22:08: Makemake 24:24: Arrokoth
