What if the Sun rose in the west? On Mars's moon Phobos, it does — and it happens twice a day.

In this episode, we journey to the strangest moons in our solar system, where the rules of time get bent, broken, and turned completely sideways.

You'll discover:

- Phobos — the moon that rises backwards and orbits faster than Mars rotates

- Titan — where a single season lasts 7 Earth years and methane rivers carve the landscape

- Io — where Jupiter never sets and volcanoes are powered by gravitational kneading

- Europa — the ice moon hiding an ocean with more water than Earth

- Our Moon — the familiar stranger with two-week days and a sky where Earth never sets

Whether you're a student, teacher, parent, or space enthusiast, this episode will change how you think about time, moons, and what "a day" really means.

They’re not escaping gravity — they’re riding it.
In our first full episode of Time Across the Solar System, we uncover the real reason astronauts appear to float. Discover how orbit works, why the International Space Station is constantly “falling forever,” and what weightlessness truly feels like.

This episode connects directly with our mission at tatssp.com — an educational web project making planetary science personal, visual, and engaging.
At the site, you can explore interactive tools that show how time, days, and years work differently on every world, calculate your age on other planets, and dive into classroom-ready lessons backed by NASA and JPL data.

✨ Highlights
• The truth behind “zero gravity” — what scientists really call microgravity
• How orbit balances gravity and motion in perfect harmony
• The strange physics of floating water, fire, and even tears in space
• How astronauts turn science into play — from floating candy to spherical flames

Step into a universe where every world keeps its own clock.
In this introduction to Time Across the Solar System, discover the story behind the project — how tatssp.com turns astronomy into wonder, making planetary time personal, visual, and real.
Learn why a day on Venus lasts longer than its year, how astronauts float by falling forever, and how time itself changes from planet to planet.
