Mercury makes no sense. It’s the closest planet to the Sun, yet parts of its surface are freezing cold. It’s so close to Earth, yet almost impossible to reach. And while its surface looks completely dead, its interior tells a very different story. In this video, we’ll explore what the BepiColombo probe has discovered on Mercury’s surface so far, and the unexpected surprises found hiding deep below.▀▀▀▀▀▀ Try Brilliant’s new interactive tutor for free and get 20% off an annual Premium subscription at https://brilliant.org/astrum/ ▀▀▀▀▀▀ Astrum's newsletter has launched!

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.

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?

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. The biggest question is - could he be right? ▀▀▀▀▀▀ Thanks to Displate for sponsoring this video. Use code ASTRUM at checkout for exclusive discounts on your order at https://displate.com/l/astrum.

The most extreme weather on Earth doesn’t happen in the sky… it happens deep in the ocean. From 200km underwater waves, to lethal blizzards, ocean blackouts, and the icy "finger of death" freezing everything in its path, the ocean’s depths are far more chaotic than we ever imagined. In this video, we’ll explore the science behind the most terrifying deep sea weather events on the planet.▀▀▀▀▀▀ For 72 hours, 15% OFF all Hoverpens with code ASTRUMEARTH, or click the link https://noviumdesign.shop/AstrumEarth - Free shipping to most countries.
