Science video on Mars presenting VRMars Astronomy Software. The video shows panoramas and images, including the “Whale” panorama and Martian sunset, taken by NASA’s Mars Rover Spirit during the Mars Rover Mission. The video was created with the use of virtual reality science software VRMars-Spirit – The Red Planet Mars 3D, released by Sciterian Technologies, and powered by the technology VRPresents that gives an impression of being on the surface of Mars. Great astronomy video for those interested in science, and space exploration enthusiasts. Get this Astronomy program at www.vrmars.com or www.vrmars.com/VRMars-Spirit-The-Red-Planet-Mars-3D.htm , and enjoy roving Mars. See the planet like you were one of the Mars Rovers at www.vrplanet.com .

Creation Astronomy Propaganda Debunked 02

Posted in Astronomy on July 5th, 2010 by admin

In this episode, we’ll look at a couple of bogus attempts to undermine science related to Lunar and Solar astrophysics.

I apologise for the somewhat erratic sound/volume in this video. I did not record it all in one go, and I have no idea what I’m doing in iMovie. The next one will be better.

To those who were referred to me by DonExodus2, thank you for checking out my videos and I hope you’ll like what you see enough to subscribe.
To DonExodus2 himself, thank you very much indeed for your support.

Various multimedia in this video was created by NASA/ESA/JAXA/ESO/Berkley/Exeter

Errata:
1. I apologise, this is just completely wrong. It was thought up until 1965 that Mercury was tidally locked to the Sun, but was proven to have 3:2 spin orbit resonance. That means for every 2 years on Mercury, there are 3 days. One Mercurian year is about 88 Terran days and one Mercurian day about 59 Terran days. I think I was once told that Mercury *was* thought to be tidally locked with the Sun, and confused that to mean it was the current consesus. Again, sorry!

Music in this video:
Sven-g-englar – Sigur Ros
Veridis Quo – Daft Punk
Exodus Honey – Honeycut

Creation Astronomy Propaganda Debunked 01

Posted in Astronomy on December 26th, 2009 by admin

The pilot episode of ‘CrAP Debunked’. If you liked this video, please help to spread it. Various images/videos produced by ESA/NASA/ESO.

Errata:
1. The phrase “Infinite volume hypothesis” is incorrect here. I meant to say either “Infinite density hypothesis” or “Zero volume hypothesis” (each implies the other).
2. Typo. The proton is in fact around one TRILLION times smaller than a full stop, not one billion.
3. Typo. This should of course read “..YouTube account”. Thanks to Agnostic1 for making me aware of that!

Please check out the giants of YouTube’s pro science collective:
