  • Have We Just Seen Dark Matter For the First Time?
    Apr 25 2026

    Scientists may have just detected dark matter for the first time ever.
    Dark matter is dark. Invisible. Impossible to see. Or is it? Scientists may have just observed a direct signal from dark matter for the first time ever. Will this discovery allow us to finally figure out what dark matter is made of? Does this finally prove it exists? ▀▀▀▀▀▀

    Could there be life in the TRAPPIST-1 system?


    This star system is home to our best candidates for Earth 2.0, containing seven Earth-like exoplanets orbiting within the star’s habitable zone. What have we discovered on each of the planets so far? Are any of them actually habitable? Join us to find out why scientists think this system is our best chance at finding life beyond Earth. To those returning and new to the channel: This video is a supercut of Astrum’s best TRAPPIST-1 videos, plus new and updated content. We’ve edited this into a new seamless video, remastered in 4K resolution, and re-recorded older voiceover to match the quality of recent content.▀▀▀▀▀▀

  • Does Enceladus’ Ocean Actually Contain Life?
    Apr 9 2026

    Could there really be life on Enceladus?
    Enceladus’ ocean is far more active than we thought. New images from the James Webb Space Telescope revealed the largest plume ever seen erupting from the tiny moon’s frozen surface. Deep diving into Cassini data, scientists have uncovered the chemistry hiding in the depths of the subsurface ocean… and it’s more complex and shocking than anyone imagined. Is this small moon the most likely home for life beyond Earth?▀▀▀▀▀▀
