Calc Voltron: Legendary Defender calcs, part 2

Calculations
More Voltron calcs, let's go for the big stuff. From episode 11 of season 1.
1. Zarkons laser blast

Zarkons laser beam attack causes a huge explosion in the first layer of his fortress. We can scale from the nearby planets.

Zarkons base is surrounded by multiple large gas giants that are incorperated into the base. They're said to be large gas giants, so we'll be scaling off Jupiter, which has a diameter of 139,822km, as well as a low end of Neptune, which has a diameter of 49,244km.
Screen_Shot_2018-04-16_at_11.50.54_PM.png
(Low end)
64 pixels = 49,244km
1 pixel = 49,244km/64 = 769.4375km
769.4375km X 42 = 32316.375km
769.4375km X 2 = 1538.875km

(High end)
64 pixels = 139,822km
1 pixel = 139,822km/64 = 2184.71875km
2184.71875km X 42 = 91758.1875km
2184.71875km X 2 = 4369.4375km

Now to scale to the explosion.
Screen_Shot_2018-04-16_at_11.49.51_PM.png
(Low end)
18 pixels = 1538.875km
1 pixel = 1538.875km/18 = 85.4930556km
85.4930556km X 250 = 21373.2639km
21373.2639km/2 = 10686.632km (10686632m)
85.4930556km X 217 = 18551.9931km
18551.9931km/2 = 9275.99655km (9275996.55m)

Volume as an ellispoid.

V = 4/3πabc
= 4/3 X π X 10686632 X 9275996.55 X 9275996.55
= 3.85168374e21m^3

A dust cloud weighs 1.003kg/m^3.

M = 3.85168374e21 X 1.003
= 3.86323879e21kg

(High end)
18 pixels = 4369.4375km
1 pixel = 4369.4375km/18 = 242.746528km
242.746528km X 250 = 60686.632km
60686.632km/2 = 30343.316km (30343316m)
242.746528km X 217 = 52675.9966km
52675.9966km/2 = 26337.9983km (26337998.3m)

V = 4/3πabc
= 4/3 X π X 30343316 X 26337998.3 X 26337998.3
= 8.81692568e22m^3

M = 8.81692568e22 X 1.003
= 8.84337646e22kg

This later forms into a dust cloud...
Screen_Shot_2018-04-16_at_11.49.55_PM.png
...so we can get KE from that. Let's get the initial starting timeframe.
Screen_Shot_2018-04-16_at_11.50.15_PM.png
1 second.

(Low end)
T = 10686632m/1s
= 10686632m/s

KE = (0.5) X 3.86323879e21 X 10686632^2
= 2.20598861e35 joules
= 52.7243931644 yottatons

(High end)
T = 30343316m/1s
= 30343316m/s

KE = (0.5) X 8.84337646e22 X 30343316^2
= 4.07112275e37 joules
= 9.73021689771 ninatons

2. Fortress shields
Next let's get the speed of the laser.
Screen_Shot_2018-04-16_at_11.49.42_PM.png

Screen_Shot_2018-04-16_at_11.49.45_PM.png
1 second.

(Low end)
T = 32316.375km/1s
= 32316375/299792458 X 100
= 10.7795824% C

(High end)
T = 91758.1875km/1s
= 91758187.5/299792458 X 100
= 30.6072368% C

Also because we can, let's scale the speed in which the shields cover the base.
Screen_Shot_2018-04-17_at_5.39.31_PM.png
(Low end)
769.4375km X 312 = 240064.5km
240064.5km/2 = 120032.25km

(High end)
2184.71875km X 312 = 681632.25km
681632.25km/2 = 340816.125km
Screen_Shot_2018-04-17_at_5.39.45_PM.png
Timeframe is 3 seconds.

(Low end)
769.4375km X 152 = 116954.5km
116954.5km/2 = 58477.25km

120032.25km - 58477.25km = 61555km

T = 61555km/3s
= 20518333.3/340.29
= Mach 60296.6097

(High end)
2184.71875km X 152 = 332077.25km
332077.25km/2 = 166038.625km

340816.125km - 166038.625km = 174777.5km

T = 174777.5km/3s
= 58259166.7/299792458 X 100
= 19.4331662% C

3. Red Lion destroys chunk of Zarkon's fortress
The Red Lion destroys a large chunk of Zarkons fortress. I'm not sure how to calc most of it, but at the end there are two explosions that leave dust clouds, so thankfully we can scale off them.
Screen_Shot_2018-04-17_at_8.14.24_PM.png
(Low end)
43 pixels = 769.4375km
1 pixel = 769.4375km/43 = 17.8938953km
17.8938953km X 122 = 2183.05523km
2183.05523km/2 = 1091.52761km (1091527.61m)
17.8938953km X 159 = 2845.12935km
2845.12935km/2 = 1422.56468km (1422564.68m)
17.8938953km X 108 = 1932.54069km
1932.54069km/2 = 966.270345km (966270.345m)
17.8938953km X 152 = 2719.87209km
2719.87209km/2 = 1359.93604km (1359936.04m)

Volume of both of them as ellipsoids.

V = 4/3πabc
= 4/3 X π X 1091527.61 X 1091527.61 X 1422564.68
= 7.0995379e18m^3

V = 4/3πabc
= 4/3 X π X 966270.345 X 966270.345 X 1359936.04
= 5.31868653e18m^3

V = 7.0995379e18 + 5.31868653e18
= 1.24182244e19m^3

M = 1.24182244e19 X 1.003
= 1.24554791e19kg

(High end)
43 pixels = 2184.71875km
1 pixel = 2184.71875km/43 = 50.8074128km
50.8074128km X 122 = 6198.50436km
6198.50436km/2 = 3099.25218km (3099252.18m)
50.8074128km X 159 = 8078.37864km
8078.37864km/2 = 4039.18932km (4039189.32m)
50.8074128km X 108 = 5487.20058km
5487.20058km/2 = 2743.60029km (2743600.29m)
50.8074128km X 152 = 7722.72675km
7722.72675km/2 = 3861.36337km (3861363.37m)

V = 4/3πabc
= 4/3 X π X 3099252.18 X 3099252.18 X 4039189.32
= 1.62516196e20m^3

V = 4/3πabc
= 4/3 X π X 2743600.29 X 2743600.29 X 3861363.37
= 1.21750558e20m^3

V = 1.21750558e20 + 1.62516196e20
= 2.84266754e20m^3

M = 2.84266754e20 X 1.003
= 2.85119554e20kg

Time for the timeframe.

2 seconds.
(Low end)
T = 1422564.68m/2s
= 711282.34m/s

KE = (0.5) X 1.24554791e19 X 711282.34^2
= 3.15075398e30 joules
= 753.048274379 exatons

(High end)
T = 4039189.32m/2s
= 2019594.66m/s

KE = (0.5) X 2.85119554e20 X 2019594.66^2
= 5.81467485e32 joules
= 138.974064293 zettatons

And this is before Keith truly bonds with the Red Lion, and doesn't include the rest of it being destroyed.


Final Results
Zarkons laser (energy - low end)= 52.724 yottatons
Zarkons laser (energy - high end) = 9.730 ninatons
Zarkons laser (speed - low end) = >10.78% C
Zarkons laser (speed - high end) = >30.607% C
Zarkon's fortress shields lower (low end) = Mach 60296.61
Zarkon's fortress shields lower (high end) = 19.433% C
Red Lion destroys part of Zarkons base (low end) = >753.048 exatons
Red Lion destroys part of Zarkons base (high end) = >138.974 zettatons
