ASMR - 4 hours Space Cruise: Solar System, Exoplanets, Galaxies, Project Orion

Published 3 years ago

This is a compilation of Soft Spoken ASMR space-related stories I already released, in 4 parts, with a new introduction and editing.

* in part 1 (Solar System Cruise), we begin with a slow cruise to every single planet orbiting our star. We visit Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. We cross Halley's Comet, make a stop in the Asteroid Belt on Ceres, visit various moons of Jupiter (Ganymede, Europa and Callisto), the Rings of Saturn and its satellite Titan, and end in the Kuiper Belt on Pluto.

* in part 2 (Exoplanets Cruise), we go to Proxima Centauri B, OTS 44 and Kepler 438b. I also tell you about the different types of planets and stars, including stars that no longer shine like old white dwarfs or neutron stars; methods to discover planets that are invisible from Earth, like Transit Photometry or Doppler Spectroscopy; and astrobiology: the field of research that studies the possibility of extraterrestrial life.

* in part 3 (Galactic Cruise), we travel from Earth to the Andromeda Galaxy; we also explore the Milky Way, the Canis Mayor Galaxy, and the intergalactic void. I tell you about gravitation, faster-than-light travel, wormholes, dark matter and the Fermi Paradox.

* in part 4 (Project Orion), I tell you the story of this interplanetary travel concept from the 1950's/60's, powered by nuclear bombs, that could theoretically have reached several percentage points of light speed.
