A quick view at the Moon and Mars, our nearest neighbors in the solar system.

Excerpt from "Tour of the Universe" video:    • A Tour of our Universe (From the Eart...  

Luna, the moon, was once part of Earth, until it Earth sustained a massive asteroid impact. The impact launched large amount of particles, rocks and dust into near orbit which, through gravity, condensed into the rock that now orbits the Earth, the Moon.

Mars, our nearest planet. Similar to Earth in size and gravitational field, but has it doesn't have a hot magma core like Earth. Earth's iron molten core generates a magnetic field that engulfs the Earth, acting like a shield for solar particles that would ionize our atmosphere. So Earth has a magic magnetic field that Mars doesn't, meaning the planet's surface receives more radiation and has a thinner atmosphere than Earth. Nonetheless, Mars, the Red Planet, is our nearest neighbor, will be the 2nd off planet destination to hold a human presence (after the moon). Video has imagery from NASA's mars rovers, Curiosity and Perseverance.

Also, as I'm noticing is becoming a trend with me, video has a quick mention of Earth's pending climate emergency, due to anthropogenic CO2 increases in the atmosphere (Yes, climate change is real and already happening, FAST). I'll probably make a video on it at some point, on how CO2 isn't transparent to infrared.
