On what planets are we most likely to find life? Our instinct might be to search for Earth-like worlds when sifting through the vastness of the cosmos. But what if that instinct is mistaken? Perhaps life, in its unrelenting stubbornness, can also be found in the churning atmosphere above gas giants, or the oven-like temperatures of a sun-scorched world.

Such incredible forms of life are explored in Project C, a speculative biology epic by the incredible artist Charlotte Veldhuizen.The project is set within a vast congregation of stars known as The Cluster, where life has emerged upon numerous extreme worlds.

So, for this entry into the archive, we can embark together on a journey across the cosmos ā€” and explore just some of the worlds that wait within The Clusterā€¦

Hats off to Curious Archive for going on these dangerous expeditions to hostile worlds. Your work does not go unnoticed.

This guy is the most tenacious cameraman, traveling to distant planets to give us content!

I've always wondered if floating flora on venus-like or gas planets could merge together to build floating landmasses, perhaps even covering the whole planet eventually, creating a surface for terrestrial life

What I did like about this project is that the major planets all had multiple biomes within them even though each planet had a specific "theme" to them.

I love that this is exploring ā€œinhospitableā€ worlds. I always wonder if weā€™re missing signs of life by looking for earth like planets. I donā€™t have a solution lol, just always wondered

Dude if this was all you ever did on this channel ever again I think a lot of us would be fine with that. These videos are so awesome. This is single-handedly my favorite subject to discuss.

This art style is beautiful, makes even the irradiated hellscapes look idyllic (those colossal, reflective trees are just fantastic)

I would love to see an episode or two on ā€œHamster's Paradiseā€ by Tribbetherium. It's a project that's heavily inspired by Serina, albeit with hamsters (obviously) instead of canaries. And the creatures and world-building are every bit as detailed as its inspiration, even if the writer does enjoy making frequent pop culture references.

I especially appreciate the mega cherries being biological anachronisms since those are rarely used in speculative evolution.

Love this series. Iā€™m a writer, and these videos have helped me expand my imagination to the possibilities of life out there in the universe

You should try checking out the aliens from Orion's Arm, particularly the Mu'uh, Menexenes, or Tohul.

Reaaaaly cool project!!! Ondriel has got to be my favorite! Though in general i loved the amount of diversity in photosynthesizing organisms! You don't see that a lot! As always thanks for shedding a spotlight on such a cool project!

Could you do a segment on the biology of H.G. Wells' work? "The Time Machine" and "War of the Worlds" both have lifeforms that are incredibly foreign and are well thought out.

Thanks for making another video. You came far in just 11 months of this channel. Hope my English makes sense.

Please do an episode on pikmin! I think it deserves a spotlight for itā€™s unique take on a post apocalyptic earth, given that everything is so small.

The animals of Ondriel are incredible. Those giant filter feeders in the algae-rich layer remind me of those microscopic stentors ("trumpet animalcules") but on a macroscopic scale. I also really like how the Wind Spears offer an electric take on extremophile lifeforms. The following planets Terminus and Whiterain has such an awe inspiring surrealist vibe too, with it's lifeforms resembling bizarre iterations of Terran marine lifeforms living on land, both mobile and sessile. If Charlotte Veldhuizen happens to chance upon my comment, just know you've speculated some very cool stuff for this project! :D
