7:03 Small detail. The Sun close to the martian horizon, as depicted here, looks blue, not yellow as it does on Earth. That's because of the different atmosphere and types of dust particles suspended in that atmosphere that scatters red light more efficiently on Mars. It's also why the martian sky usually has a definite salmon pink color to it.

"We've only just recently begun to figure out some answers, thanks in large part to our curiosity and perseverance." I see what you did there. 😉

As a planetary scientist and long-time Eons fan, I cannot tell you how excited I am to see this episode 🤩 Thank you!!!!

It always blows my mind how Mars doesn't have water anymore, yet it is the primary source of Mars candy bars. The universe is a mysterious and magical place 🥰
@MaddoxLightning
P.S. these shows have been so lovely, for years. It is my hope shows like Eons receive funding for years more to come. You all teach in a delightful way.
@burnerdaughter
Wow. I had no idea how the possibility of actual life on another planet would affect me till now. It's both beautiful and, in the event that it may have died out eons ago, incredibly bittersweet. I almost wanna cry.
@sorrenblitz805
There is a theory floating around that we actually did find not just evidence of life but actual living microbes on Mars during the Viking Lander missions, and we accidentally killed it. The basics of it is this one scientist had the thought that its possible martian life adapted to metabolize hydrogen peroxide, and the viking soil samples did show the evidence that that couldve been the case but since the way the soil was being analyzed was to get heated in pure water that scientist asserts that we actually accidentally killed the possible life in that soil sample.

I’ve always been fascinated by Mars, I really hope Perseverance can find ancient microbial life so we know we’re not alone. 👽
@chriswatt6835
fun fact: using the words opportunity and insight to describe what machines allow us to do on Mars means more than meets the eye. In addition to the well publicized rover Opportunity, a piece of seismographic equipment put on Mars (and a distinct mission from Opportunity) was called Insight
@ericharkleroad7716
All the puns about the rovers etc were Terra-ble! I loved them.
@michaelpettinger207
"...thanks in large part to our Curiosity and Perseverance..." We see what you did there...
@HeisenbergFam
Trip to Mars to truly get a breath of fresh air away from Earth's GTA parody world does sound like an experience of a lifetime
@yeyecannotdrift
Recent study based on observing marsquakes and seismic waves suggests that the outer core of Mars consists elements such as sulfur, oxygen, carbon and hydrogen but few iron. And its inner iron core is probably smaller than expected.
@theaussiebackflipboy
The scary thing I picked up from this is that, theoretically, Earth could lose its magnetosphere at some stage in the same way as Mars but it will take longer because of the planets size.
@Scarlet_Soul
Roughly translated for any Martians. Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack, Ack Ack Ack.
@matthewhepler801
I recently learned about the Chromosome 2 Fusion event that resulted in humans having 46 instead of 48 chromosomes. I would love to learn more about it on a PBS Eons episode!
@rJaune
Your videos are always A+. But, I'll give you an A++ for mentioning so many of the rovers. Haha
@andrewmichaelson70
There is an interesting possibility that terrestrial and Martian life are related. With the Late Heavy Bombardment, or earlier, our planets could exchange pieces of each other with microbes to travel on.
@hera7884
I went to Vegas for two weeks no social media no news no nothing and now I get all these refreshing videos I’m just drowning in happiness tonight
