Scientists Finally Know Why Japan’s 2011 Tsunami Was So Big
Scientists Finally Know Why Japan’s 2011 Tsunami Was So Big Nov 11, 2026 30:02 In 2011, a magnitude 9.1 earthquake struck off the coast of Japan, unleashing a tsunami up to 40m high - far larger than any model had predicted. It caused untold damages including the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. For more than a decade, scientists have been trying to explain why. But now, thanks to a record-breaking ocean drilling expedition and a new study published in Science in December

We’ll dig into the most important discoveries we've made - from stunning high-resolution images of Pluto’s surface, to mysteries hiding deep inside its core, and the violent origins of its twin moon, Charon. Plus, we'll investigate the burning question: will Pluto’s planetary status ever be resto
We Found an Unknown Chemical Signature on Saturn’s Moon Titan
We Found an Unknown Chemical Signature on Saturn’s Moon Titan Nov 6, 2026 29:09 Decades after the Cassini-Huygens touched down on Titan, cutting-edge observations from the James Webb Space Telescope are revealing surreal phenomena on this giant Saturnian moon. From monster slow-motion waves in its methane lakes, to unknown organic compounds that defy our knowledge of organic chemistry, there is so much more to understand about this world - and in 2030, we’re going back… ▀▀▀▀▀
What Happens Inside This Black Hole Will Blow Your Mind
What Happens Inside This Black Hole Will Blow Your Mind Nov 4, 2026 25:16 In all of space, nothing is more mind-meltingly strange than a black hole. These cosmic monsters are places where space becomes time, time becomes space, and the fundamental laws of physics simply cease to exist. But what if the event horizon isn't the final boundary?Way past the point of no return, deep inside spinning Kerr black holes, lies a theoretical boundary even stranger than the first
The Most Extraordinary Images We’ve Ever Taken of a Comet
The Most Extraordinary Images We’ve Ever Taken of a Comet Nov 2, 2026 43:20 Theories on how our solar system formed have been turned on their head.In this Astrum compilation, we’re delving into the world of comets. What they’re made of, where they come from and just how difficult they are to land on. From the probe that crashed into one on purpose, to another that landed on a comet that looks more like a rubber duck than a rock… and that’s before we even get started on 3I
We Finally Solved Uranus' Greatest Mystery
We Finally Solved Uranus' Greatest Mystery Oct 30, 2026 39:56 This Astrum supercut is a complete guide to the planetary enigma that is Uranus. We’ll dig into why exactly it rolls around the solar system on its side, what makes it the coldest planet on the solar system and how the remains of an ancient collision might still be buried at its heart.To those returning and new to the channel: This video is a supercut of Astrum’s best Uranus videos, plus new and u

Nature's Real Life Zombies Will Give You Nightmares | Astrum Earth Oct 28, 2026 29:03 We've all seen the horror movies where the dead come back to life - their minds controlled by other beings; their nervous systems hijacked by some supernatural presence.But it turns out that this isn't supernatural. In fact, it's entirely natural...Nature is filled with zombies, that take control of other unsuspecting organisms and force them to do their bidding. From mind-controlled a

We Stared Into The Heart Of Our Galaxy. This Is What We Found.
We Stared Into The Heart Of Our Galaxy. This Is What We Found. Oct 23, 2026 22:26 On 23rd March 2025 the Euclid telescope captured the most detailed visible-light image ever taken of the cosmic bulge of our Milky Way galaxy. It’s packed with 60 million stars, but that’s not all. And where there are stars, there are planets - millions of them. Could this image be the key to finding them?▀▀▀▀▀▀This one image is starting an exoplanet revolution. JMP is an interactive statistical d

The Only Place You Can Walk On Earth's Mantle | Astrum Earth Oct 21, 2026 29:23 Macquarie Island is unlike any other on Earth. It’s home to millions of penguins, but that’s not the weird part. This is the only place on Earth where you can walk directly on the mantle from deep inside our planet. In this video, we’re digging into the science behind this mind-bending geological anomaly. Why is the Earth turning itself inside out?▀▀▀▀▀▀Remove your personal information from the we

Have We Finally Found a New Theory of Everything?
Have We Finally Found a New Theory of Everything? Oct 16, 2026 44:48 The laws of physics that govern our universe have left scientists with a lot of questions. But what if there was a simpler way to look at the universe? A method that takes into account the speed of light, time dilation, redshift, dark energy and an expanding universe? My brother, Jon, has come up with just such a hypothesis for a unified theory of everything that could explain all these and more.
