00:00Hey, meet Mark Silver.

00:02He's a famous space detective who flies around galaxies figuring out the toughest cosmic

00:07crimes.

00:08Today, you're on a mission to help him.

00:11A rare artifact was stolen from a base on Mars.

00:14Mark is on the case, and he has three suspects.

00:18All of them claim they've never been to Mars.

00:21Look at them attentively and try to figure out who might be the criminal.

00:33Look at the man.

00:34The soles of his boots are dusted with red.

00:37And Mars is often called the red planet because of the color of its soil.

00:41So the man must have lied about never having visited Mars.

00:49Mark is sent on a mission to a planet where all the inhabitants look different.

00:54When a group of locals meets him at a spaceport, he realizes that one of them is an imposter.

01:00Who is it?

01:11It's this creature with eight arms and tentacles instead of legs.

01:14See that zipper on the left side?

01:16It must be someone else, maybe even a human, wearing a costume to disguise itself as a local.

01:24Maria, an astronaut's wife, has come to Mark because she thinks her husband is lying to her.

01:31A week ago, he told her he would fly to Jupiter to deliver rose petals to a local community.

01:37He even sent her a few photos when he arrived there.

01:40And Maria has some doubts.

01:43After examining the photos, Mark confirms the girl's suspicions.

01:46Her husband isn't on Jupiter.

01:48How did he understand it?

02:02Look at these rings behind Maria's husband's back.

02:05Only one planet in our solar system has such large, prominent rings.

02:09And that's not Jupiter, but Saturn.

02:14Once Mark was piloting a spacecraft.

02:16Yeah, he can do that too.

02:17When he realized he was running out of fuel.

02:21He checked the nearest planets where he could get some fuel.

02:24The first one was freezing cold.

02:25The temperatures were insanely low.

02:28The second was boiling hot.

02:30So hot that even metals would melt there.

02:32And the third planet was super acidic.

02:35Which is the safest option to get some fuel?

02:47Mark should opt for the first planet.

02:49He'll be inside his spacecraft, so the cold won't harm him.

02:53As for extremely high temperatures and acids, well, they can easily damage his spaceship.

03:00The leader of a mission on a distant planet asked Mark to come and help him figure out

03:04one tricky case.

03:06He has three newcomers, and he suspects that one of them is an imposter and hasn't come

03:11from Earth.

03:13Can you help Mark understand which astronaut isn't human?

03:25The man in the middle might look like a human, but he isn't wearing a helmet.

03:29That means he's not from Earth.

03:31But that's not all.

03:32Look at the woman on the right.

03:34Her oxygen tank isn't connected to her helmet.

03:37She isn't human either.

03:40Mark arrived at the moon because someone had been stealing astronauts' belongings from

03:44a lunar base on the far side of the satellite.

03:49After investigating the case, Mark ended up with three suspects.

03:53Julia told him she had been working in the lab all the time.

03:57Hannah told him she had seen someone's footprints circling around the base.

04:02But later they had disappeared.

04:03The wind must have covered them with sand.

04:06And Lucas explained he had been busy with software repair.

04:10Who is the criminal?

04:17Well, the moon has no atmosphere.

04:23That's why there's no air or wind that could lead to erosion.

04:26That's why footprints couldn't have vanished.

04:29So Hannah is lying.

04:32Astronaut Kenny was on a spacewalk when he found out that his safety tether wasn't connected

04:39to the spacecraft.

04:41Luckily, Kenny managed to survive and get back to the ship.

04:45There he contacted Mark Silver, claiming that it was his crew member Margaret who had disconnected

04:50the tether.

04:52When Mark arrived, he questioned Margaret.

04:55But she denied her involvement.

04:56She even claimed that she heard Kenny's cries and rushed to save him.

05:01Mark didn't believe her and detained her right away.

05:09Why?

05:14Space is silent since there's no air or atmosphere to carry sound waves.

05:19Even if Kenny had been shouting, no one would have heard him.

05:24Space pirates once captured Mark and locked him in a cargo compartment.

05:29The door has a password lock.

05:31To get out, Mark needs to remember what the biggest planet in the solar system is.

05:36He has three choices.

05:38Saturn with its rings, gas giant Jupiter, and ice giant Neptune.

05:43Could you help him choose?

05:54While Jupiter is the biggest planet in the solar system.

05:57In fact, it's so big, it has more mass than all the other planets combined.

06:04Mark's friends came back from vacation and started sharing their experiences.

06:09Pete said that he had climbed an ultra-tall volcano on Mars.

06:13Daniel was happy that he had seen the great red spot on Jupiter.

06:18And Thomas was super excited because he had managed to swim in a lake on Saturn's largest

06:22moon, Titan.

06:24Mark understood right away that one of his friends was lying.

06:28Who was it?

06:37It was Thomas.

06:40Even though Titan has lakes on its surface, they're filled with methane.

06:44You can't swim in them.

06:47Look at this picture attentively and help Detective Silver figure out what's wrong with it.

07:01This landscape definitely looks like the surface of the moon.

07:04But then, what is there in the sky?

07:07One space body is obviously Earth, but the other looks like another moon.

07:14One day, an insurance agent visited Mark Silver.

07:18She was almost sure that one of her clients wanted to commit insurance fraud.

07:22Apparently, he claimed that his spaceship was pulled into a white hole while he managed to

07:27escape using an emergency pod.

07:30Detective Silver agreed to help the agent, since he immediately realized why the claim

07:35was fake.

07:36Have you figured it out yet?

07:43Well, it's black holes that swallow everything that comes too close.

07:51At the same time, white holes expel matter and energy.

07:55So a white hole wouldn't be able to pull inside a spaceship or any other object.

08:01One day, Mark was on vacation on a distant planet in a faraway galaxy.

08:06He was floating in a glass pod over a sea of blue lava when he spotted an object in the

08:11sky.

08:12It was getting bigger and bigger.

08:14Mark had three ideas about what it could be.

08:17A comet, a black hole, or a rogue planet.

08:21Would you help him figure out what this space intruder is?

08:29Well, it can't be a comet, since comets have long tails.

08:37It's also unlikely to be a black hole, since they are invisible to the unaided eye.

08:41So, it's probably a rogue planet, once kicked out of its home system, and now wandering

08:47the universe.

08:49Mark was visiting his friend on his spaceship, and accidentally locked himself in his room.

08:54To get out of it, he needs to solve a riddle.

08:57There are several buttons near the door, each of them has a planet on it.

09:02Mark needs to press the button with the planet that is unique.

09:05Do you know which one it is?

09:16Mark needs to press the button depicting Uranus.

09:19It's the only planet that spins on its side.

09:23Now, Mark wants you to crack a few riddles on your own.

09:29Look at this picture.

09:30This girl has just landed on the moon.

09:32Can you spot two weird things that make this adventure seem fake?

09:41First, the girl isn't wearing a helmet, but on the moon, it's impossible to breathe

09:49without it.

09:51And secondly, the wind is blowing her hair, but there's no wind on Earth's natural satellite.

09:58Now look at the planets of the solar system, and say if everything is fine with them.

10:02It seems Jupiter and Saturn have switched their places.

10:17And finally, the last general knowledge challenge for you.

10:21Which planet had its status taken away almost two decades ago?

10:25Proxima Centauri b.

10:26Pluto.

10:27Uranus.

10:28Well, it was poor Pluto.

10:30In 2006, it was reclassified into a dwarf planet, after being considered the ninth planet for a

10:45long time.

10:46That's it for today.
