Very informative video, but I do have a question. What was illuminating Pluto when we saw the dark side of the planet when you were showing us the layers, and for that matter the side when we saw the surface detail? I was always told(maybe wrongly so) that Pluto is so far out that our sun would appear as small as any other star we see in our night's sky so I thought that it would be awfully hard to see anything on Pluto, regardless of the side you were on in respect to the sun? Is this camera tricks with low light apertures or light amplifying electronics or computer enhancement? I'm not crying conspiracy, the photos in this video explicitly said they were enhanced, I understand, just wondering how much light they had to add while doing it and how they did it?
The Sun would appear small in Pluto's sky, but it wouldn't appear like just any other star, you would really have to go to the outer edge of the limits of the solar system for something close to that. Pluto is actually pretty close compared to a lot of the objects in the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud. Instead, daytime on Pluto would act like twilight on Earth. The shutter speed would also be low to allow more light for each picture. Also, I don't know the specs of the camera they used off hand, but we are seeing consumer cameras coming out today with 5,000,000 ISO or more providing a bright shot in almost pitch black conditions, so photographing Pluto is really not outside the realms of technological possibilities even if it was very poorly illuminated. Hope this helps :)
I concur, the sun would be pretty bright when you consider we can see starlight that is billions of years old and just as far. It may not light up anything but the sun would as it is relatively close.
So strange to me that some people think Pluto being reclassified as a dwarf planet means it can't be on models of the solar system. It's gravitationally important, especially when it's closer to the sun than Neptune. It has a moon, and is an important marker for explaining distance in terms of other potential exoplanets. It's okay to be a dwarf planet, it's still there. It didn't go away.
Once the sun turns into a red giant, it will get so large that it will swallow Mercury, Venus and possibly Earth. And Pluto will be like 'Who's not a planet now?'
Michael Dlugosch have u watched ‘the wandering earth’? Humans Will probably do something like that when the sun turns to a red giant, but yeah. Pluto planet
@@denzeltan4190 In hundret years we will bash each others heads for food and water, i doubt we will have to trouble ourselves for the lifespan of our sun.
Just to think that Pluto was excluded from the Voyager Missions, and that Mission New Horizons materialized largely due to the dogged effort of Alan Stern and his staff. Despite these obstacles, viewing Pluto rates as one of the most stunning achievements of all time!
Voyager 1 could’ve been routed to Pluto after Saturn but they would’ve had to sacrifice the Titan flyby. Titan was considered an important target because it had a substantial atmosphere so the trajectory was for the best possible flyby of Titan through the Saturn system which made a Pluto route impossible
but Ceres and Vesta are also "traditional" planets, they were only changed to being asteroids in the 1850s because people found too many of them, much like Pluto in 2006
I just realized that as a kid, I read about the New Horizons mission and how it was on its way to Pluto. Yeah, I was a nerd. Anyway, even though it was expected, it's kind of weird knowing that something I waited for since I was a kid finally happened my senior year of high school and I even studied it in a brand new astronomy class. Makes me wonder if this trend of living through pretty big milestones for space exploration will increase rapidly within the coming years.
I was expecting great strides after all the space milestones that were met i the 60s. Then, nada, for decades. But it's finally going places now. I was a junior high school Trekker nerd. At least I finally got a top-of-the-line Samsung tricorder in my hand! And a fitbit! I love the 21st Century.
Alan Stern was the man who headed the New Horizons project and gave a seminar at my college recently. Seeing him was amazing. He was pretty short, has mostly gray hair, and he crosses his legs when he sits. And this regular guy just studied like crazy, worked insanely, and worked on a team of other phenomenal people to send a spacecraft all the way to Pluto, a 9 year journey in space, and 17 years of build up before that. As a mechanical engineering student I was so inspired. Everything we discover has to be discovered by a person. We all have the amazing potential to do extraordinary things if we work together and give our best. Hopefully this isn’t the last time we get to see the planet with the heart.
Wonderful photos. I'm 60 now, have been an astronomy fan from a pretty early age, but I never thought I would get to see Pluto in such exquisite detail. Thank you, New Horizons!
@@forresthancock1939 No stars means the exposure time required to capture a bright object like Pluto was too short for stars to register in the image. I know quite a bit about astrophotography pal, being doing it all my adult life. Come back and upbraid me when you know what you're talking about.
@@forresthancock1939 ...Okay, I was a bit harsh. But here's the deal. Exposure time to capture a bright image like the full Moon (or Pluto) is typically around one 250th of ONE second. To capture even bright stars, you need an exposure time of at least 20 ENTIRE seconds. So you can't capture both in a single image, it isn't possible. Try it yourself. You own a camera of some sort, right? Next time the Moon is full, set your camera to automatic exposure/light metering, zoom in as far as you can on the Moon and take a shot. Then look at the image you get. You won't see any stars in it.
I've watched this video twice. When New Horizons sent us information about Pluto, I was stunned. I still feel the same whenever I think about the mission and what it accomplished. It's amazing that we sent a probe on a nearly 10-year journey and it passed its target within 2 seconds of what was predicted. It is a great feat for the early 21st Century and one of the best missions ever, IMHO.
It's amazing how things have changed. I once found an old science textbook in a library from the late 1960s that said at the time that it would take 70+ years to reach Pluto. Now it's down to 9 years. That's incredible!!!

Well if you consider Pluto a planet, then you might as well consider the other dozen or so pluto-like planetoids that are beyond Pluto, actual planets now. Pluto doesn't have anything that makes it stand out from the group of other small planetoids. It's just like them, irregular orbit, very small size, and much further away than Neptune is from the sun. Point is, Pluto isn't a planet because that would mean we would need to add another 10+ planets to our list. 8 planets is a lot easier to remember than 20 in elementary school.
Admit it is a big round ball and not just a rock, what looks like a planet, rotates like a planet , obits the sun like a planet and is not a planet because some theorist sitting behind a desk said its not.
Thaw it's actually pretty good to be honest i sidnt think it would h but I was forced to watch it and was quite surprised how well it was actually made
About my mention of the Atlas V rocket being the most powerful, the NASA film I watched described it as "America's biggest, baddest rocket, tricked out with every conceivable booster". I may have misinterpreted that. Apologies!
The Atlas V was the most powerful rocket in service at the time New Horizons launched, but not the most powerful rocket in history. Pretty minor detail, though. The video is great.
You didn't mention how the "ice lake" looks exactly like Pluto the dog, and I do mean exactly. Overlay Disney's Pluto picture over the area and it is an exact perfect match. A strange but fitting celebration of Walt Disney's contribution to the NASA business ;) blows right over the heads of some!
For some reason Pluto holds a privileged place in the back of many people's minds. It's somewhat special compared to other celestial bodies, even for non-astronomers
This is the most amazing thing ever in my book. Everytime I tell people about what NASA has accomplished and the gravity of such a mission, nobody seems to really care! ARgh it's so frustrating that few people actually care! It will continue it's journey outside our solar system, I am so excited to see what will be found.
NASA is all about visuals. They’ve already proved it with Apollo mission footage. The most if not all footage presented by NASA as filmed on Mars was filmed actually on location in Greenland.
What I want to know is if Pluto and Charon will end up merging (and much slower due to the tidal lock and speed of rotation, so we at least know of the impact side). I also want to know whether or not Pluto’s other moons will eventually merge as well into one or two new moons as Charon and Pluto grow closer and closer together. Wish I could see what they could look like... and if the planet would be shoved closer or farther from the Sun. I hope Charon’s chemical makeup (and possible different atmosphere) will change Pluto into a different type of planet. It’s so exciting!
Yeah, whats to see on Pluto? Oh, wait... Makes you wonder about other places we've largely ignored, especially the Uranian and Neptunian systems - Triton totally deserves a proper mission. Atmosphere? Check. Geologically active? Check. Water? Check. All of these worlds are so much more dynamic and interesting than we could ever have imagined... yet still we mess about in the sandpit on Mars.
I like how Pluto and her moon is tidal lock. Its like they are squaring off and bucking with one another. Pluto: What's good?! Charon: What's good?! Pluto: What's good?! Charon: What's good?! Pluto: What's good?! Charon: What's good?! And on and on it goes.
When you see color corrected pictures. It was a let down. Fucking filtering everythong for us. Like sht Nasa, stop fucking us over. Give us actual pictures or footage.

Impressive photos of Pluto! I learned the location of the heart shape lake in relation to it's main moon. I was surprised about how high the mountains are. I couldn't comprehend the gravity part of the video though.
This is another example of how, not only our solar system, but this universe will amaze us with its drama and elegance every inch of the way. We have so much to look forward to out there. thanks for this and keep up the great work.
Pluto has always been my favorite planet, because it was mysterious and so far away. You don't know how warm and happy I feel that Pluto has a heart on it. ❤️
Yes they did say it had ice but I thought ice was made of water. I thought water didn't exist on any other planet but there's lots of ice on all the planets. I must be getting a lot of bad information
These rocket scientists are truly amazing. Coming within 12,500 Km of Pluto after a 5 billion Km journey means they achieved an accuracy of 0.00014 degrees. Talk about threading the needle. It gets even more remarkable when you consider that somewhere along the way it sucked some energy from Jupiter's rotation to add even more speed. Yup... these people are smart beyond my comprehension. I am unworthy. That's why they call it Rocket Science.
Computer simulations to design and refine the course of the spacecraft help considerably, and a few correction burns with it's own thrusters help account for any drift or inaccuracy they didn't anticipate, all together it's brilliant but very achievable!
@@trashaimgamer7822 Yes you're right, But it's way easier to program a computer than doing it by hand , I'm not saying it's easy it's still need a Genius level of math and algebra to make those programs but it's relatively easy compared to actual work, it's 100% impossible for human to calculate all this using pen and paper ,sure it can correct itself but it's not a car to steer a wheel, it take energy to make correction so it's there just in case otherwise the calculation is near perfect
Primitive programs are loaded into a computer with equations based on the laws of physics. Those programs then create more sophisticated programs to do the simulations. So for the most part, computers program the programs.
Same. I love the photos we have of galaxies and nebulae and stuff, but for some reason the close ups of lil ol Pluto are my absolute favorite. So cool and gorgeous
Pluto inspires me to create a fantasy world on a tidally locked planet with a nearby moon, perhaps between which the civilizations have mastered travel.
Jule Rulez I like that 😊 It sounds like the stories ancient civilizations made up about objects in the night sky. I think we should make this the official story of Pluto! 😊
I remember being fascinated by planets as a kid during the 80's. When it came to Pluto it was just conjecture and paintings-my 4th grade science book simply stated 'Pluto is a cold, dark planet. It is probably covered with ice.' I still think it ludicrous that lamestream science removed it's planet status. If it was observed from earth by 1930's technology it's a planet in my book.
I was never quite interested in Pluto, but this video has changed my mind about this distant dwarf! Thank you so much for bringing us such great content!
Very cool stuff, I love that some scientists assume that a body in the solar system could be considered "boring" as they're frequently surprised at the amount of data they can learn once they've explored them further.
It's as though Pulto was a like a beta version of other planets and just like games, they just put it somewhere far away hoping you can't access it in a raw form.
Dear space community members and all the scientists who are hardly working for human kind I express my thanks for bringing distance planets and cosmic events to my eyes and soul.
I could cry. I truly could. I was glued to every bit of data that came through five years ago, after spending so many years waiting. These images, and the information they provide, proved well worth those years. A huge debt of gratitude is owed to the remarkable team who made New Horizons possible; we already have learned so much from the Pluto flyby, and I know that the future holds great discoveries beyond its orbit.
Even though Pluto is so far away in the cold distance of the solar system. It’s endlessly waltzing with its beautiful moon Charon, and their eyes never turn away from each other. 😭
The images are truly stunning. Thank you for this informative video. It is so cool that we have such detailed images of such a remote and alien world. Wow.
With Pluto transiting the middle degrees of the tropical sign Capricorn when the discovery was made, a sign that is often criticized for having no heart, it was wonderful and heart warming to see that Pluto had a heart! Thanks for this wonderful video about a planet that is so central and important in my natal astrology chart!
Everyone: *declares pluto a dwarf planet* Pluto: everyone thinks there nothing interesting about me, but ima prove them wrong Pluto: heart appears* Everyone: wow, check out that heart 0_0

The Planetary Scientists who actually study these things snickered at the gall that Scientists who do NOT, decided to take a simple majority vote on the decision. By their definition, if the earth were in Pluto's orbit, earth would not qualify as a planet. It is, and always was, indeed a Planet.
@@christineg.6006 There are 7 moons larger than Pluto in our solar system alone. Pluto's mass is only 17% of our moon and its closest neighbor, Neptune has a moon larger than it (Triton). Maybe it would be more helpful to describe it as a Kuiper belt object rather than a dwarf planet, but if we call Pluto a planet than we should say there are at least 20 planets in our solar system.

They do take pictures in spectrum other than human visible. "Enhanced' would make sense if they're using false colors to be relevant to the human eye.
They are taken in the infrared spectrum, and coloured to be nice to the public.

This is the most amazing thing ever in my book. Everytime I tell people about what NASA has accomplished and the gravity of such a mission, nobody seems to really care! ARgh it's so frustrating that few people actually care! It will continue it's journey outside our solar system, I am so excited to see what will be found.
Half of the people are so dense they think the Earth is flat, your answer lays within the fundamental flaws of humanity.
All the good findings will probably be hidden from us though.
Pluto welcomed New horizons with a heart emoji....
Lol
Maybe because it was lonely for a while
@@cowardynoobie8317 how is that pluto has his gf charon and 3 kids running around him
Your level of imagination is beyond words.
It looks more like a mermaid tail
So fascinating how well those pictures came out - like modern art. Yet, I might not have ever seen them. Thanks for making these videos!
NASA is all about visuals. They’ve already proved it with Apollo mission footage.
The most if not all footage presented by NASA as filmed on Mars was filmed actually on location in Greenland.
@@oggeeboggee Lol what will you say when Artemis lands men on moon later this decade? Is that also a fraud?
What I want to know is if Pluto and Charon will end up merging (and much slower due to the tidal lock and speed of rotation, so we at least know of the impact side). I also want to know whether or not Pluto’s other moons will eventually merge as well into one or two new moons as Charon and Pluto grow closer and closer together. Wish I could see what they could look like... and if the planet would be shoved closer or farther from the Sun. I hope Charon’s chemical makeup (and possible different atmosphere) will change Pluto into a different type of planet. It’s so exciting!
"Pluto wasn't considered an interesting object"
boy were they wrong
We're so glad they were wrong! Yay pluto!
have you seen that one episode.
i think its fro. Rick and morty.
@@donvergaz ive seen rick & morty but do you know the episode name?
Most of the time they are always wrong until new information 😊
Yeah, whats to see on Pluto? Oh, wait... Makes you wonder about other places we've largely ignored, especially the Uranian and Neptunian systems - Triton totally deserves a proper mission. Atmosphere? Check. Geologically active? Check. Water? Check. All of these worlds are so much more dynamic and interesting than we could ever have imagined... yet still we mess about in the sandpit on Mars.
Pluto. Forever planet 9. "The little planet with the big heart." 💖

Dwarf planet
;( I guess...

If there were enough photos, I could watch Pluto all day
I like how Pluto and her moon is tidal lock. Its like they are squaring off and bucking with one another.
Pluto: What's good?!
Charon: What's good?!
Pluto: What's good?!
Charon: What's good?!

And on and on it goes.
As far as I'm concerned, there isn't a boring place in the universe. Every object has a unique and fascinating nature.
99.(a lot more 9s) % of the universe would be excruciatingly boring.
Pluto is incredibly beautiful 😭

I waited from 1964 till now to see this planet. Glad I got to see it up close.

If pluto wasnt your favorite planet BEFORE we discovered the giant ice heart, it ought to be now
Impressive photos of Pluto! I learned the location of the heart shape lake in relation to it's main moon. I was surprised about how high the mountains are. I couldn't comprehend the gravity part of the video though.
I really enjoy listening to people talking about something which they are passionate about. It's easy to tell how passionate you are about Pluto.
This is another example of how, not only our solar system, but this universe will amaze us with its drama and elegance every inch of the way. We have so much to look forward to out there. thanks for this and keep up the great work.
i know i am four years late, but this vid is magical - tks for uploading!
You truly enjoyed telling us about Pluto. Thank you
Hi Susan how are you?
Pluto has always been my favorite planet, because it was mysterious and so far away. You don't know how warm and happy I feel that Pluto has a heart on it. ❤️

Yes they did say it had ice but I thought ice was made of water. I thought water didn't exist on any other planet but there's lots of ice on all the planets. I must be getting a lot of bad information

New Horizons finds "a heart shape on the dwarf planet".
From Pluto with love! Hello Earth!
These rocket scientists are truly amazing. Coming within 12,500 Km of Pluto after a 5 billion Km journey means they achieved an accuracy of 0.00014 degrees. Talk about threading the needle. It gets even more remarkable when you consider that somewhere along the way it sucked some energy from Jupiter's rotation to add even more speed. Yup... these people are smart beyond my comprehension. I am unworthy. That's why they call it Rocket Science.
Computer simulations to design and refine the course of the spacecraft help considerably, and a few correction burns with it's own thrusters help account for any drift or inaccuracy they didn't anticipate, all together it's brilliant but very achievable!
@@UNSCPILOT And who programmed those simulations to be accurate enough for a computer to use it in the first place? Exactly.
@@trashaimgamer7822
Yes you're right,
But it's way easier to program a computer than doing it by hand ,
I'm not saying it's easy it's still need a Genius level of math and algebra to make those programs but it's relatively easy compared to actual work, it's 100% impossible for human to calculate all this using pen and paper ,sure it can correct itself but it's not a car to steer a wheel, it take energy to make correction so it's there just in case otherwise the calculation is near perfect
Primitive programs are loaded into a computer with equations based on the laws of physics. Those programs then create more sophisticated programs to do the simulations. So for the most part, computers program the programs.
god bless mathematicians
New Horizons up close pics of Pluto is my favorite discovery of the solar system. To know Pluto has these awesome features and an atmosphere.
Same. I love the photos we have of galaxies and nebulae and stuff, but for some reason the close ups of lil ol Pluto are my absolute favorite. So cool and gorgeous
when i had a book about space as a kid (im 31 now), it had a picture of pluto and its moon and it was about 12-15 blue pixels.
When I was a kid, there were no pictures. no Charon.
I could just "feel" how far away the tiny planet was☑️🌚
Pluto inspires me to create a fantasy world on a tidally locked planet with a nearby moon, perhaps between which the civilizations have mastered travel.
Sad story! Charon trying to find his lost heart and Pluto wont show it to him! And so Charon runs around trying to outmanoeuvre Pluto ever since :(
Jule Rulez I like that 😊 It sounds like the stories ancient civilizations made up about objects in the night sky. I think we should make this the official story of Pluto! 😊
planits dont have emotion jule

5 years later, I'm still amazed that we actually got to see the object that so many of us wondered about.
I remember being fascinated by planets as a kid during the 80's. When it came to Pluto it was just conjecture and paintings-my 4th grade science book simply stated 'Pluto is a cold, dark planet. It is probably covered with ice.' I still think it ludicrous that lamestream science removed it's planet status. If it was observed from earth by 1930's technology it's a planet in my book.
I was never quite interested in Pluto, but this video has changed my mind about this distant dwarf! Thank you so much for bringing us such great content!
"What did NASA's New Horizons discover around Pluto?" The largest natural deposit of icecream topping in the solar system.

Mars: *has 2 huge polar icecaps covering almost half of its surface area, and is bigger than Pluto*
Also Mars: AM I A JOKE TO YOU?
I bet it has a nasty case of freezer burn.
Pluto looking like an absolutely bombastic sci-fi setting bro
That heart shape is because pluto is a soldier of love and justice.
Very cool stuff, I love that some scientists assume that a body in the solar system could be considered "boring" as they're frequently surprised at the amount of data they can learn once they've explored them further.
peanut dawg I must be amused easier than you because I can look at a girl with a nice body all day even if she's fully clothed hahah

Oh hell THIS!!!!
The text to speech voice over fad drives me freaking bonkers!
Still annoying though. Is it British or South African? Terrible anyway...
It's as though Pulto was a like a beta version of other planets and just like games, they just put it somewhere far away hoping you can't access it in a raw form.
Great work on this video, thoroughly enjoyed the presentation 👏
Hi thesacred Mon how are you?
Dear space community members and all the scientists who are hardly working for human kind I express my thanks for bringing distance planets and cosmic events to my eyes and soul.
I could cry. I truly could. I was glued to every bit of data that came through five years ago, after spending so many years waiting. These images, and the information they provide, proved well worth those years. A huge debt of gratitude is owed to the remarkable team who made New Horizons possible; we already have learned so much from the Pluto flyby, and I know that the future holds great discoveries beyond its orbit.
Bro relax not that serious
Even though Pluto is so far away in the cold distance of the solar system. It’s endlessly waltzing with its beautiful moon Charon, and their eyes never turn away from each other.
😭
The images are truly stunning. Thank you for this informative video. It is so cool that we have such detailed images of such a remote and alien world. Wow.
With Pluto transiting the middle degrees of the tropical sign Capricorn when the discovery was made, a sign that is often criticized for having no heart, it was wonderful and heart warming to see that Pluto had a heart! Thanks for this wonderful video about a planet that is so central and important in my natal astrology chart!
Astronomy is just amazing been interested since childhood thank you for teaching me new things
May Lee Muh Holy Book
We should explore Eris next it could be just as beautiful
thank you for this video
Everyone: *declares pluto a dwarf planet*
Pluto: everyone thinks there nothing interesting about me, but ima prove them wrong
Pluto: heart appears*
Everyone: wow, check out that heart 0_0
They sent a (still) pretty expensive mission after it. So some people must have thought of being interesting enough.
To nije planet
Mi imamo svijetlo i reflekciju Charon je vjerojatno uskratila Plutonu dimenziju kojom bi bio kao zemlja.Akash ili eter čini čuda i drži nas sigurnim dok koracima koračao jesmo sigurni da nam Nece nešto snažnije energije ko iz vedra neba past ili udariti.Ja vjerujem da slijepi ljudi su sigurni iza svojih leđa
Ah Pluto,, always a bridesmaid, never the bride. That whip snap around Jupiter was pretty clever however.
It's nice to listen to because it sounds like the person that's talking is smiling :)
this has been on my recommended page for YEARS my lord

Wow, truly amazing. The nine year challenging trip was well worth it! The pictures sent back are incredible. Peace
Does this mean that pluto is a planet again?
Hurray, we once again have nine!!!!
If you think it‘s a planet then for you it‘s a planet. You don‘t have to follow imaginary rules somebody made up to give a celestial object a name.
@@Ivo3963 Imaginary?! LOL
@Kwan Leflore do you have a link for that designation? I thought Pluto only qualified for 2 of the 3 qualifications of a celestial planet?
The Planetary Scientists who actually study these things snickered at the gall that Scientists who do NOT, decided to take a simple majority vote on the decision. By their definition, if the earth were in Pluto's orbit, earth would not qualify as a planet.
It is, and always was, indeed a Planet.
@@christineg.6006 There are 7 moons larger than Pluto in our solar system alone. Pluto's mass is only 17% of our moon and its closest neighbor, Neptune has a moon larger than it (Triton). Maybe it would be more helpful to describe it as a Kuiper belt object rather than a dwarf planet, but if we call Pluto a planet than we should say there are at least 20 planets in our solar system.
