I once had a choice between a video of some anime girls shaking their asses, or a rendition of "Wander My Friends" from Battlestar Galactica. I chose the latter. Peace out.
Thank You for making these videos. I could not imagine what it would like to stand on the surface. Just Amazing! I'd luv to go to Pluto...I wish I would around to see such things.
i think that standing on the surface it would look sorta foggy because the ice when it melts does not have a stage of liquid so it goes from ice to gas very fast, and it could have geysers like triton because of its mass and the ice (this is really just an educated guess)
love your content!! i always wonder how you've gained this much knowledge about all of this! you explain everything like it's something you've known and talked about all your life. good job!
Nice videos, man. One of the most interesting among TH-cam videos, especially with the soundtracks you put in. I have started watching you since 3000 subscribers still can't understand what kind of an accent you have?
The weirdest thought occurred to me...this is the ultimate "F you, I'm out of here" destination in the near future. I can imagine in 200 years, some eccentric quadrillionaire will live there, marveling at the sight of Dysnomia.
When I think of space travel,as curious as I am. The idea to me feels lonely and eerie. Far from earth. A great video again man. I wonder what it would be like if ur moon had a slightly smaller moon of its own. Though it would be stable, I'm not sure how it would effect earth,but one of the moons will one day slingshot into us.
I absolutely agree. Again, We are blessed with the positions of dwarf planets like Pluto, Eris and Sedna to the point where we can, sooner rather much, much later, to see these guys up close and get a better idea of what our deep, deep solar system is like and what might have rained down on them over the eons, or whether they contain frozen microbes and other life forms. If Sedna is a captured planet, then we have another system's materials to study. I think its a no-brainer.
Another option instead of using Jupiter for a gravity assist is to use Jupiter and the Sun. The probe would need to go to Jupiter and get an assist to put it on the proper trajectory to get an assist from the Sun. The probe would have to avoid getting to close to the Sun, but since the Sun is so much more massive than Jupiter a trajectory that doesn't take full advantage of the Sun still gets you a nice boost.
That would take a very long time 6-11 years on average to get to Jupiter Then another 6-11 to get back + 1 year to get to the sun then you go to the wanted destination which is probably around 5-8 years more distance Let alone the engineering needed to get a craft to last that long and the heat from the sun aswell So just accept like 20 years w/ Jupiter gravity assist
Pluto was already a big surprise when New Horizons sent the first photos. Eris is probably also different (and more interesting) than how we imagine it now. I hope they sent a probe to Eris and other dwarf planets.
@naz de LMAO at the whole thing "Nerds" Thicc atmosphere "What happens as we approach the Sun? Common sense tells us that the Sun will be brighter and the inverse square law tells us how much brighter. Mercury is at 0.387 AUs. 1/d^2 = 1/0.387^2 = 1/.15 = 666.67%, almost seven times brighter! We can use this method to compare any spot in the Universe if we describe its distance as compared to Earth relative to the Sun".-NASA.
If we can just get a grip on a new propulsion system everyone of these new places are just waiting to be discovered. A totally new frontier in exploration.
Ice is slippery only because water ice liquefies under pressure. It doesn't happen at deep bellow freezing temperature, so Europa ice is not slippery. Methane also doesn't have this property. At least not in near vacuum.
Peter Švančárek oh thats good to know. i always assumed it would be impossible to move or walk on these icy moons. if we can deal with the gravity and cold we could go explore their surface more easily than i thought.
Forgetting about the rest of the universe for a second, I really hope that in my lifetime humanity will develop a faster way to travel around the solar system. Something with which we could reach Eris in 24 months rather than years. But maybe that is hoping for too much.
I would say this is very likely in the next 30 years. And there are immense quantities of resources out in the Solar system, this will further accelerate development of this technology later on as all the countries and their companies will race for them.
@ 1:53 Ice is not necessarily slippery tho. The water ice we experience is most of the time, because under the pressure of our weight, a tiny layer of liquid water between our feet and the ice is formed, and that makes it slippery. If it is extremely cold, however, ice is not slippery anymore. I am not sure how it would be with methane ice on Eris.
Eris is the largest dwarf planet in the solar system, so that’s why Pluto was demoted to a dwarf planet, because from 1930-2005 Pluto was a planet then in that year Eris was discovered & Eris is a dwarf planet & Pluto is a planet Eris would have been the 10th planet
Well done! I believe any planet with a moon should be classified as a planet, and not a dwarf or minor planet. Eris and Pluto should get promotions. All good wishes!
Great idea. "Standing on _____". It will take a long time to run out of moons/planets in our solar system to stand on...and there are endless extrasolar moons/planets to stand on, too.
The further we go into the solar system's edges, the more mysteries we encounter. Reducing the cost of space transportation so that more missions can be sent here will be crucial to accelerating the pace of exploration of this unknown, dark place in the solar system!
4:05 - "The sun would be 94 times fainter since Eris is 94 times more distant from the sun" Not correct, the sun would actually be much fainter than that. Look up "The Inverse Square Law of Light". The answer would actually be 94 squared. 94 x 94 = 8836. So the sunlight Eris receives is 8836 times more dim than the sunlight that reaches Earth.
Dreksler Astral: We all saw those espectacular pictures of Pluto, How were the achieved if the planet is so far from the sun? I would have imagined Pluto was in a perpetual darkness, cheers
The temperature on Eris ranges from 30 to 56 kelvin (-405.67°F to -358.87°F). Because of the low gravity, methane has an even lower melting point(and boiling point) but it's just so far away! So cold over there and it freezes back up!
absolutely nothing you can possibly find there is worth the costs of bringing it back (except science) That's even true for Mars unless space flight get's dramatically cheaper or faster. And not a few% Starship cheaper... New Horizons only got there in a about a decade because it was small and light and thus fast. Don't mix Eris up with Eros from a certain book/tv series. That's closer to Mars. And tiny.
Hi, I love this video series, great concept. I just thinking you might be interested to know that because of the inverse square law of radiation the sun being 94 times further away than it is from earth would mean its 8836 times dimmer.
I'm not an astronomer, but I favor the idea that if its gravity pulls it into a sphere and orbits the sun, it's a planet. size or what it's made of doesn't matter. yes it will make many more objects planets, but why is that a problem?
@@fungidragon7494 but that is the problem because not all the professionals agree that the current definitions are a "perfectly fine system." I happen to agree with the opposition.

I know... it sounds a bit odd, but long ago I became enamored of the Walker Art Center. I had a subscription to their design periodical Design Quarterly. It always gave me hope when I saw how ugly most American cities were. So I have an image of Minneapolis as a Mecca of sorts. As for India I think I'd rather do Italy. I'm not into impoverished crowds of people.
You said the sunlight would be 94 times fainter on Eris because it's 94 times as far away, but that's not how it works. Light sources work by the inverse square law(Think of the surface area of a sphere), so it would be 94x94 times fainter. The distance from the sun is not going to be consistent as it cycles between and minimum and maximum like Earth does(91.4 - 94.5 million miles) Eris tends to be anywhere within 38 AU and 97.5 AU from the sun.
Is Dysnomia actually a moon of Eris or is it a binary companion, like Pluto and Charon? If their barycenter lies beyond the surface of Eris, then it's the latter.
Instead of using Jupiter alone, you could get a gravity assist from the Sun. Get a gravity assist from Jupiter to get it on the right trajectory, dive in toward the Sun and thread the needle and off you go.
I'm slightly confused. The heading says that Eris is the most massive dwarf planet, but the commentator goes on to say that it still isn't the largest ? As far as I know, a larger one hasn't been discovered.
They *think* that Eris is smaller than Pluto. Pluto has been measured directly by New Horizons. Eris has only been measured via telescope. Which led to decades of false calculations of Pluto's size.
Wow I've never heard of Eris before twice as far from the sun as Pluto you say? Thats quite far. I really thought Pluto was the last celestial body in the solar system. Surely Eris must be the planet X that some scientists talk about then?
no eris is not planet x. however, there are many thousands of pluto sized and likely at least one giant jupiter sized planet x in the massive kuiper belt and oort cloud that circle the sun much much farther out than eris!

If you think Pluto is larger than Eris, then Pluto must be more massive
Mass is not the same as volume.
no, size and mass are two different things, pluto is bigger than eris, but has less mass than it, mass is weight and gravity

Pluto: boy go drink some milk, I'm larger.
Earth: 😎
Sun: all of you, shut up some of you orbit me
i keep thinking of Eris from grim adventures of billy and mandy....
Eris is Pluto's beautiful wife...
Eres ends up being the death star
Uh oh
When you see pictures of Eris it is scary because it’s all red
Love your work
I'm slightly confused. The heading says that Eris is the most massive dwarf planet, but the commentator goes on to say that it still isn't the largest ? As far as I know, a larger one hasn't been discovered.
It's diameter is slightly smaller than Pluto's. But it's density is higher
i aint that old but looks like we wont see eris in my lifetime :(
Damn it. I want to swim and explore space. Wish it was possible. I wonder if after we die it is a possibility. 🤔🤔🤔
Is it atmosphere if it’s lying on the ground?
well when eris gets closer to the sun, the frozen atmosphere thaws and forms the actual atmosphere
They *think* that Eris is smaller than Pluto. Pluto has been measured directly by New Horizons. Eris has only been measured via telescope. Which led to decades of false calculations of Pluto's size.
So, you'd slip and slide for miles.
Wow I've never heard of Eris before twice as far from the sun as Pluto you say? Thats quite far. I really thought Pluto was the last celestial body in the solar system. Surely Eris must be the planet X that some scientists talk about then?
No its too small, planet X still hasn't been found yet but is still believed to exist
no eris is not planet x. however, there are many thousands of pluto sized and likely at least one giant jupiter sized planet x in the massive kuiper belt and oort cloud that circle the sun much much farther out than eris!
4 years into the future, still no planet X😔
