Not quite. Neso's at its furthest distance from Neptune is further away from Neptune than Mercury's furthest distance from the Sun. However, the average distance comparison, Neso is closer to Neptune than Mercury from the Sun. Neso vast apoapsis is actually more of a combination of its own considerably eccentric orbit around Neptune in addition to Neptune's vast distance from the Sun.
Fun fact about Charon: Because Charon and Pluto are so close together and Charon is very big in comparison to Pluto (moreso than any other moon), not only are they tidally locked together, their barycenter lies just outside of Pluto rather than at its center, making Pluto and Charon a Binary Dwarf Planet System. So they're always dancing face-to-face across the sky.
Charon causes plutos other moons to wobble for example it would be possible to spend a day on Nix where thes sun rises in the east and sets in the north and it can flip poles
That is due to Neptune's distance from the sun. Neptune can easily hold its moons in orbit around it with its gravity because the sun's gravity is too weak at this distance to pull Neptune's moons away from Neptune. This is also partially why Mercury and Venus have no moons. The sun's strong gravity makes it difficult for them to hold a moon around them in a stable orbit.

Neptune has the biggest hills sphere, which is basically just the sphere at which Neptune overpowers other gravitational fields. That's how Neso can Orbit at the same distance as Mercury (at Apoapsis anyway)
Neptune's distance from the sun greatly affects hill sphere. Saturn hillsphere is slightly bigger than Jupiter's despite Saturn being 30 percent of Jupiter mass.

This is one of the most beautiful, terrifying videos I’ve ever seen. Part of me wants to imagine standing at these locations and seeing the mind-numbing views, but as soon as I do it strikes me how utterly terrified I would be, either being that close to or far from those massive planets.
It’s an alien feeling for sure, and the lack of humanity or life would make it feel scary, I think once we’re a space faring species with a civilization like Star Wars or the like it won’t feel as lonely, if that makes sense.
I just think of how cool! Scared doesn’t come to mind. I’d love to see the gas giants up close. I have trouble grasping just how far you are even when it takes up your entire view…it’s still million miles away but so huge it looks close.
Just a few corrections: Prometheus is not the closest moon to Saturn. The closest moon to Saturn is actually Pan. Also, this video may have been in production for a while, so a correction for this may not have been possible, but moons further away from Saturn than Fornjot have since been confirmed and announced to exist very recently. Still a good video though.
I wasn't expecting the inclusion of Pluto, since it's often excluded from lists of the major planets in our solar system now. But seeing what Pluto would look like from Charon and then seeing the two celestial bodies in their mutual orbit from Hydra, along with the wonderful music selection and after thinking the video would end after Neptune, actually brought a tear to my eye. Very well done video.
@@Stargaze_youtube False. Pluto is not a rocky planet, it is an icy dwarf planet. Even if it would be a planet, it would be an icy planet, not a rocky one.
@@durshurrikun150 But the majority of Pluto is a rocky (silicate) core, perhaps 70% of its diameter. By conventional definition, that makes it a rocky world. Yes, it is covered by a thick ice crust, but that doesn't really make it an 'icy [dwarf] planet', in the same way as Earth's rock being mostly covered by oceans makes this a 'water planet'. That said, the icy proportion of Pluto is much higher than the water proportion of Earth. So in truth, you're both right if you combine the two things: it's certainly fair to say that Pluto is a rock/ice body.
@@Somnogenesis False. Rocky worlds are worlds that are almost completely made of rock, where ices are a small fraction of the total mass of the planet. Earth's water's mass is just 0,005% of the total mass of Earth and the other volatiles constitute an even lower percentage. In contrast, Pluto is 30% ice by mass, most of that % being water ice. All icy moons in the outer solar system also have a % of rock that makes up their cores. So yes, it is an icy dwarf planet, whereas Earth is covered mostly by oceans , but the mass of the oceans is only 0,005% of Earth's mass. Mars and possibly Venus also had oceans on their surfaces, and yet it didn't stop them from being rocky aka terrestrial planets. Also, an icy body, if it migrated and settled in an orbit similar to that of Earth would have its icy crust melt and become an ocean planet, with oceans hundreds of km deep and if it becomes hot enough, it would also lack any definite surface and become more similar to planets like Neptune and Uranus but on a smaller scale, it will be very similar to a gas dwarf aka miniNeptune.
This was beautiful, the music so peaceful was beautiful. Would have been nice of you added the distances between the closest and furthest moons too. Mind blowing and beautiful at the same time
@@gneu1527 So sharing your orbit with an entire *ASTEROID BELT* makes you a planet?! Because the IAU doesn't agree. So tell the IAU this story of how Pluto is a planet!
Awesome video ❤ stll Neso impressed me with it's farthest distance 😊 Imagine how horrific and beautiful at the same time standing on those nearest moons and watching those giant planets barreling over our head every few hours. Same standing on those farthest moons away in the dark witout knowing which planet we are revolving.. 😃
Most of the regular moons are tidally locked... so they have the same face towards the planet all the time. So, the giant planet overhead just sits there, going through it's phases... if the moon has an elliptical orbit, the planet would grow and shrink somewhat, as well... and on the other hemisphere, they never see the planet at all. The moons that are not tidally locked tend to be the small, irregular, farthest moons... where the planet would not look so giant anymore.
I would just love to be on a base on Metis or any of the other super close moons in the solar system. Just always being able to see a planet so close that it almost feels like you could jump onto it.
@@linked3970 The original comment is saying that Space Engine can show us these amazing views, while that person was suggesting that space isn’t real and these view are only possible in Space Engine
Wow Neso orbits Neptune in almost 27 years. It takes longer to orbit Neptune than the Earth takes to orbit the sun. It takes almost as long as Saturn takes to orbit the sun
Well obviously because neptune have 17 earth mass while sun have 333,000 earth mass so, it is expected for neso orbital speed is wayyyyyyy slower then planet mercury despite almost similar distance
As a fun fact, while the Moon is fairly close to Earth by planetary standards, you could still fit all eight of the other main planets of the Solar System (and probably Pluto and Ceres too) between Earth and the Moon and still have enough space to spare! However, there would not be enough room if Saturn was placed at the same axial tilt it has in reality, so you would need to tilt it to fit its massive ring system in.
Stable? Definitely not. There is barely enough room for all of them to not collide. There is a reason objects in space are so far apart. However the original party fact is correct, you can hypothetically fit all eight.
Very cool that you capture tidal locking. Imaging something sitting in the sky and never moving, but still rotating (unless you're looking at Pluto... which is sort of even cooler).
@@bjornironsides6474 Yes, but you don't see the parent planet, which causes the tidal lock on the moon you're on, sitting still in the sky -- day in, and day out ; never rising, never setting -- unless you're on the tidally locked object, looking back at the parent.
@@bjornironsides6474 Pluto, being a "dual-planet", tidally locked to its primary moon, and vice versa -- means you get this effect from sitting on either one. Also, since the parent (or child) is tidally locked as well, you would not only see it in the same spot on the sky forever... but also never rotating!
@@bjornironsides6474 The famous Earth-rise picture of Earth rising on the Moon wasn't really an Earth rise. It was from the space module flying around the Moon. If they were standing on the Moon, it would have never rose. (Caveat: due to lack of circular orbit, there is some lack of perfect sync, and you likely could see the Earth move a bit, and thus in the right spot, could see it slightly rise and set.. due to the "wobble".)
This is super impressive to watch. I never realized how far some of the Jovian worlds moons were orbiting. Somehow I pictured them to be quite close in. Nice! I have a fictional world where their gas gaint is roughly Neptune sized but in their sky it's similar to how Charon sees Pluto. Roughly the size of a person's palm stretched out at arm's length.
I still feel we are missing something, with regards to how gravity works. Not just on the quantum level, but in the way planet sized objects (or bigger) attract other objects. It's unfathomable the distances these objects affect one another.
Everything is pulling everything in the entire universe. No matter how far something is its gravity still reaches it. It just becomes negligible at great distances.
Not really, gas giants have a giganormous gravity pull and electromagnetic field. Jupiter alone saves interior planets by attracting most meteors and cosmic objects
I can imagine a far future with human settlement on each of those moons, and in an even more distant future, hotels, restaurants with a priceless view of each planet.
Reminds me of a NASA poster about such a future where you book a once in a life time tour to visit multiple solar system destination all the way to Neptune. That's a future I wanna live in.
@@Jakub680 why not? We're the only space faring species in our solar system, and we will likely never leave the solar system, and eventually our own star will destroy earth and then the sun itself will die leaving no chance for life. This our chance to experience more of our tiny corner of the universe before it and us are all dead.
Beautiful images, beautiful music, and again many thanks for not excluding Pluto! (The fact alone that Pluto has moons, even several moons, shows how ridiculous it is to not call him a planet. Besides, I never understood why a "dwarf planet", should be no planet whilst even its name includes the term "planet". On top of that, there are giant stars and dwarfs, at least some types of them (red, yellow, white dwarfs) belonging to the stars. Only brown dwarfs are not considered full-fledged stars.
Dwarf planets can have any number of moons. Being geologically active or not etc. doesn't matter. "Having cleared its neighbourhood" is imho a rather clumsy criterion. A better one could be "it is not the dominant object in its neighbourhood". Unfortunately the IAU could not vote for a better third criterion than the present one. Which confuses people to this day. Some even go as far as saying well that means Earth isn't a planet, because the moon is orbiting it so it hasn't cleared its neighbourhood. Those people don't understand the third criterion. The Earth is in control of the moon. Neptune is in control of the dwarf planets. It placed them there.
@@Stargaze_youtube Is sedna the farthest or there are more distant worlds in our solar system than that?If yes please make a sunrise video on them too
@@Black_hole306 As of June 2023, Sedna is the furthest object from the Sun on average. It's aphelion (furthest point from the sun) is almost 1,000 astronomical units. Sedna literally orbits in Interstellar space. Other than Sedna, 2018 VG18 is the second farthest object.
I believe it's been recently discovered that Pluto and Charon are a binary system where the dwarf planet and it's closest moon orbit around a central point between each other, rather than Charon just orbiting around Pluto.
That's not a recent discovery, it's just how orbits works, we don't really orbit the sun either, we orbit a central point called the barycenter, but it exists inside the sun because the earth is too tiny to shift it outside. The barycenter of the sun and Jupiter actually exists just outside the sun! In case of Pluto and Charon their masses are so similar that their barycenter lies in between them And they orbit around it.
No it isn't. It's not the same kind of object as the other eight planets. The IAU is correct in defining it as a non-planetary object. It isn't the dominant gravitational force of its own orbit, Neptune is.
@@cryoraptora303tm2you must have been born after they demoted Pluto. I’m sorry, but I grew up and was taught that Pluto IS the 9th planet and it will ALWAYS BE CONSIDERED THE NINTH PLANET IN MY BOOK AND THATS WHAT I WILL TEACH MY CHILDREN!!!
The Moon of Earth has a name: Luna. A reason we use terms like "Lunar Orbiter" or "Lunar Surface" or "Lunar Lander". In a way, same goes for the Sun, which is named "Sol" (Sun in Latin), but that is what makes this the Solar System.
Those aren’t really names tho, those are the words for moon/sun in Latin as you said. The names of the planets are actually names Similar situation to the word “allah” - not the name of god in Islam, simply the Arabic word for god
3:51 man imagine if the view on earth was like that, it would be absolutely mind breaking. As it is right now, any of us could, if they decided to do so, not give the slightest attention to what’s above, and really feel as if you were the center of the universe. But with Neptune right above, towering above us… We would be reminded of our insignificance every second of our lives. It’s kinda depressing, but it’s also very humbling in a magnificent way. Thanks for reading my nonsense. - some French fuck
Ohh you underestimate human arrogance lol, they will just worship The Big Blue Sphere in The Sky and say It cares about them and personally bless them / punish their enemies. Oh and some particularly arrogant humans will wear blue robes and anoit themselves Big Blue Sphere Kings, Prophets of The Big Blue Sphere, they will wage wars against those who worship the Tiny Hot Sphere in The Sky because they are clearly wrong. Also blue eyed people are blessed and chosen and bring good luck 😂 I don't find the universe's constant remind of our "insignificance" to be depressing, because we are not insignificant in the universe, we merely exist, the rest of universe also merely exists. From tiny electrons to supermassive black holes, so far it's only us that are bothered by our "mere" existence. We need it to be "more" somehow, being equal to everything else is not enough, we see that as inferiority. Therefore to me it's human arrogance that I find depressing, it seems deep rooted within us, we are cursed to have a deep desire to be at the center of a universe that never had a center. My personal cure for this is to look at the other side of that coin, for as much as we desire centerness, we also desire connection, and there's no connection like being one with everything that there is, or ever was, or ever will be. We are all equal, from the big bang till today we are all elemental particles wearing different forms, yesterday they looked like a star, today they look like a human, tomorrow they will look like a flower in someone's garden. In this way I consider myself very lucky, because I got this however brief window to *know* of this journey and appreciate it. Thank you for reading my mini essay 😂
just imagine if we could live on one of the closest moons. Imagine looking up and seeing saturn take up the entire sky, it would be so surreal and breath-taking!
The way that you can only tell that Saturn is Fornjot's parent planet by the chain of satellites clustered closely together and forming a line in the sky... Humbling.
It really is, NASA’s discovery program had a Neptune probe concept, but they chose ANOTHER Venus probe instead. (The other Venus probe launching around the same time is a lander, so it kinda makes sense, but I really wanted 4K photos of Neptune and triton 😔) But don’t loose hope, there’s always the chance it will be selected in the future!
This is very cool. Well done. Might you consider adding a small circle throughout the video to show the apparent size of the Moon from the Earth, just to give folks a scale?
The gas giants are also further from the Sun, allowing their gravity well to extend farther. (Neso orbits Neptune at a maximum distance of some 77M kms from that planet, more than half the distance between Earth and the Sun. That would not be possible for any planet within Earth’s orbit regardless of size.)
great video, it will be even greater with distance, size of the moons, and the velocity of the moons. how those moons stay so close and not crashing into planet is simply amazing
4:12 WHAT!!! HOW IS NESO EVEN STILL IN ORBIT AROUND NEPTUNE!??!? *NEPTUNE LITERALLY LOOKS LIKE JUST ANOTHER STAR FROM NESO!!!!* Is Neptune’s gravity really *that* strong!?
Neptune is the third most massive planet in the solar system after Jupiter and Saturn. However, it has the largest *_sphere of influence_* of all because its moons are much less disturbed by the Sun's gravity due to its large distance. Neptune's sphere of influence would be smaller than Jupiter's and Saturn's if it orbited the Sun at their distances, making Neso's orbit impossible.
Yes, Neptune is the 3rd most massive planet in the Solar System, and Neso is not even *that* far away, it orbits at a distance of roughly 66 million kilometers from Neptune, a little bit further away than Mercury is from the Sun

That's how Neso can Orbit at the same distance as Mercury (at Apoapsis anyway)
Because Neptune's gravity is not as powerful as you think: 1.14x stronger than Earth which is not so much more.

This is one of the most beautiful, terrifying videos I’ve ever seen. Part of me wants to imagine standing at these locations and seeing the mind-numbing views, but as soon as I do it strikes me how utterly terrified I would be, either being that close to or far from those massive planets.
It’s an alien feeling for sure, and the lack of humanity or life would make it feel scary, I think once we’re a space faring species with a civilization like Star Wars or the like it won’t feel as lonely, if that makes sense.
I just think of how cool! Scared doesn’t come to mind. I’d love to see the gas giants up close. I have trouble grasping just how far you are even when it takes up your entire view…it’s still million miles away but so huge it looks close.
I like earth
Just a few corrections: Prometheus is not the closest moon to Saturn. The closest moon to Saturn is actually Pan. Also, this video may have been in production for a while, so a correction for this may not have been possible, but moons further away from Saturn than Fornjot have since been confirmed and announced to exist very recently.
Still a good video though.
You spot on ! Mimas s also one f d closest moon ig !
Isn't the entire Disc around Saturn just Millions upon Millions of Moons orbiting at the same time? (Obviously not Moon Sized tho)
@@dsaikon Nah, it's just dust and ice.
@@logan_wolf fair enough
No, you're high dude
For anyone wondering, the game used to make this is called Space Engine
I wasn't expecting the inclusion of Pluto, since it's often excluded from lists of the major planets in our solar system now. But seeing what Pluto would look like from Charon and then seeing the two celestial bodies in their mutual orbit from Hydra, along with the wonderful music selection and after thinking the video would end after Neptune, actually brought a tear to my eye. Very well done video.
Thank you! I like to include Pluto even though it's a dwarf planet now, because it is a very interesting place and a rocky planet as well.
@@Stargaze_youtube False.
Pluto is not a rocky planet, it is an icy dwarf planet.
Even if it would be a planet, it would be an icy planet, not a rocky one.
@@durshurrikun150 But the majority of Pluto is a rocky (silicate) core, perhaps 70% of its diameter. By conventional definition, that makes it a rocky world. Yes, it is covered by a thick ice crust, but that doesn't really make it an 'icy [dwarf] planet', in the same way as Earth's rock being mostly covered by oceans makes this a 'water planet'.
That said, the icy proportion of Pluto is much higher than the water proportion of Earth. So in truth, you're both right if you combine the two things: it's certainly fair to say that Pluto is a rock/ice body.
@@Somnogenesis False.
Rocky worlds are worlds that are almost completely made of rock, where ices are a small fraction of the total mass of the planet.
Earth's water's mass is just 0,005% of the total mass of Earth and the other volatiles constitute an even lower percentage.
In contrast, Pluto is 30% ice by mass, most of that % being water ice.
All icy moons in the outer solar system also have a % of rock that makes up their cores.
So yes, it is an icy dwarf planet, whereas Earth is covered mostly by oceans , but the mass of the oceans is only 0,005% of Earth's mass.
Mars and possibly Venus also had oceans on their surfaces, and yet it didn't stop them from being rocky aka terrestrial planets.
Also, an icy body, if it migrated and settled in an orbit similar to that of Earth would have its icy crust melt and become an ocean planet, with oceans hundreds of km deep and if it becomes hot enough, it would also lack any definite surface and become more similar to planets like Neptune and Uranus but on a smaller scale, it will be very similar to a gas dwarf aka miniNeptune.
Thank you for including Pluto!
Wonderful Updated Video! Glad you more active again :)
Yeah i'm trying to post more now that I have more free time. Thank you!

Thank you!

I feel lonely and isolated watching moons far from their planets
Awesome video ❤ stll Neso impressed me with it's farthest distance 😊 Imagine how horrific and beautiful at the same time standing on those nearest moons and watching those giant planets barreling over our head every few hours. Same standing on those farthest moons away in the dark witout knowing which planet we are revolving.. 😃
Thank you! Yeah scary but beautiful.
Most of the regular moons are tidally locked... so they have the same face towards the planet all the time. So, the giant planet overhead just sits there, going through it's phases... if the moon has an elliptical orbit, the planet would grow and shrink somewhat, as well... and on the other hemisphere, they never see the planet at all. The moons that are not tidally locked tend to be the small, irregular, farthest moons... where the planet would not look so giant anymore.
I would just love to be on a base on Metis or any of the other super close moons in the solar system. Just always being able to see a planet so close that it almost feels like you could jump onto it.
Cordella's distance to Uranus would be a sight to see! (NO LAUGHING)
I remember seeing this so long ago and now it's been remastered.
Perfection.
I love your videos (And space) ❤️

Thank you!!
Wow Neso orbits Neptune in almost 27 years. It takes longer to orbit Neptune than the Earth takes to orbit the sun. It takes almost as long as Saturn takes to orbit the sun
Well obviously because neptune have 17 earth mass while sun have 333,000 earth mass so, it is expected for neso orbital speed is wayyyyyyy slower then planet mercury despite almost similar distance
@@thebeautyofuniverse5250 hi
It’s really fascinating how huge the solar system and the universe is
As a fun fact, while the Moon is fairly close to Earth by planetary standards, you could still fit all eight of the other main planets of the Solar System (and probably Pluto and Ceres too) between Earth and the Moon and still have enough space to spare! However, there would not be enough room if Saturn was placed at the same axial tilt it has in reality, so you would need to tilt it to fit its massive ring system in.
Indeed
I’ve heard that a handful of times throughout my lifetime and I still refuse to believe it
Stable? Definitely not. There is barely enough room for all of them to not collide. There is a reason objects in space are so far apart.
However the original party fact is correct, you can hypothetically fit all eight.
dont forget that neptune uranus and jupiter also have rings
Very cool that you capture tidal locking. Imaging something sitting in the sky and never moving, but still rotating (unless you're looking at Pluto... which is sort of even cooler).
What? You see tidal locking every night when looking at our moon.
@@bjornironsides6474 Yes, but you don't see the parent planet, which causes the tidal lock on the moon you're on, sitting still in the sky -- day in, and day out ; never rising, never setting -- unless you're on the tidally locked object, looking back at the parent.
@@bjornironsides6474 Pluto, being a "dual-planet", tidally locked to its primary moon, and vice versa -- means you get this effect from sitting on either one. Also, since the parent (or child) is tidally locked as well, you would not only see it in the same spot on the sky forever... but also never rotating!
@@bjornironsides6474 The famous Earth-rise picture of Earth rising on the Moon wasn't really an Earth rise. It was from the space module flying around the Moon. If they were standing on the Moon, it would have never rose. (Caveat: due to lack of circular orbit, there is some lack of perfect sync, and you likely could see the Earth move a bit, and thus in the right spot, could see it slightly rise and set.. due to the "wobble".)
I love how at 1:54, you can see Jupiter's rings for a split second.
This is super impressive to watch. I never realized how far some of the Jovian worlds moons were orbiting. Somehow I pictured them to be quite close in.
Nice! I have a fictional world where their gas gaint is roughly Neptune sized but in their sky it's similar to how Charon sees Pluto. Roughly the size of a person's palm stretched out at arm's length.
What a wonderful & mind-blowing video !!!! 🥰🥰 The BG music s a masterpiece on it !!!!❤❤❤❤
I love how how we see all satrun's moons from fornjot on 2:55
Saturn has 146 moons, you can only see the big ones
Thanks for including Pluto
I still feel we are missing something, with regards to how gravity works. Not just on the quantum level, but in the way planet sized objects (or bigger) attract other objects. It's unfathomable the distances these objects affect one another.
We are def missing something since general relativity and quantum mechanics are kind of incompatible right now
Everything is pulling everything in the entire universe. No matter how far something is its gravity still reaches it. It just becomes negligible at great distances.
@@catpoke9557 Yup. It's just that things like planets and stars are so massive that they affect objects at scales noticeable to humans
Not really, gas giants have a giganormous gravity pull and electromagnetic field. Jupiter alone saves interior planets by attracting most meteors and cosmic objects
Wow, so cool! Great concept, great execution! Subscribed!
Thank you!
I can imagine a far future with human settlement on each of those moons, and in an even more distant future, hotels, restaurants with a priceless view of each planet.
Reminds me of a NASA poster about such a future where you book a once in a life time tour to visit multiple solar system destination all the way to Neptune. That's a future I wanna live in.
@@AriaHarmonyI don’t think I wanna even imagine humans colonizing other planets dammit
@@Jakub680 why not? We're the only space faring species in our solar system, and we will likely never leave the solar system, and eventually our own star will destroy earth and then the sun itself will die leaving no chance for life. This our chance to experience more of our tiny corner of the universe before it and us are all dead.
@@AriaHarmony You must have lived around decent people because that’s not the case for me. I don’t think people have the brains for that
Nicely done and the music adds a lot. Bravo
Thank you!
This guy qualifies Pluto as a planet LET GO!
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen this video. The music, the visuals, it’s just so perfect.
Beautiful images, beautiful music, and again many thanks for not excluding Pluto! (The fact alone that Pluto has moons, even several moons, shows how ridiculous it is to not call him a planet. Besides, I never understood why a "dwarf planet", should be no planet whilst even its name includes the term "planet". On top of that, there are giant stars and dwarfs, at least some types of them (red, yellow, white dwarfs) belonging to the stars. Only brown dwarfs are not considered full-fledged stars.
Dwarf planets can have any number of moons. Being geologically active or not etc. doesn't matter. "Having cleared its neighbourhood" is imho a rather clumsy criterion. A better one could be "it is not the dominant object in its neighbourhood". Unfortunately the IAU could not vote for a better third criterion than the present one. Which confuses people to this day. Some even go as far as saying well that means Earth isn't a planet, because the moon is orbiting it so it hasn't cleared its neighbourhood.
Those people don't understand the third criterion. The Earth is in control of the moon. Neptune is in control of the dwarf planets. It placed them there.
bro...I'm in tears. Legendary video. My heart is brimming
Can you visit the far dwarf planets of our solar system like eris,sedna,makemake etc
And make a video on how sun looks like from their

Thank you for including Pluto #MillennialsRemember ❤
😂
I wasn't expecting the "farthest moons" of the outer giants to be THAT far out from the planets they orbit. 🤯
SO RELAXING, TY FOR THIS JOURNEY THROUGH OUR SYSTEM 😌
I believe it's been recently discovered that Pluto and Charon are a binary system where the dwarf planet and it's closest moon orbit around a central point between each other, rather than Charon just orbiting around Pluto.
That's not a recent discovery, it's just how orbits works, we don't really orbit the sun either, we orbit a central point called the barycenter, but it exists inside the sun because the earth is too tiny to shift it outside. The barycenter of the sun and Jupiter actually exists just outside the sun! In case of Pluto and Charon their masses are so similar that their barycenter lies in between them And they orbit around it.
Thank you for including Pluto. It is and always has been the 9th planet in the solar system.
No it isn't. It's not the same kind of object as the other eight planets. The IAU is correct in defining it as a non-planetary object. It isn't the dominant gravitational force of its own orbit, Neptune is.
@@cryoraptora303tm2you must have been born after they demoted Pluto. I’m sorry, but I grew up and was taught that Pluto IS the 9th planet and it will ALWAYS BE CONSIDERED THE NINTH PLANET IN MY BOOK AND THATS WHAT I WILL TEACH MY CHILDREN!!!
The Moon of Earth has a name: Luna. A reason we use terms like "Lunar Orbiter" or "Lunar Surface" or "Lunar Lander".
In a way, same goes for the Sun, which is named "Sol" (Sun in Latin), but that is what makes this the Solar System.
Those aren’t really names tho, those are the words for moon/sun in Latin as you said. The names of the planets are actually names
Similar situation to the word “allah” - not the name of god in Islam, simply the Arabic word for god
And God is the English word for god.

As it is right now, any of us could, if they decided to do so, not give the slightest attention to what’s above, and really feel as if you were the center of the universe.
But with Neptune right above, towering above us…
We would be reminded of our insignificance every second of our lives.
It’s kinda depressing, but it’s also very humbling in a magnificent way.
Thanks for reading my nonsense.
- some French fuck
Ohh you underestimate human arrogance lol, they will just worship The Big Blue Sphere in The Sky and say It cares about them and personally bless them / punish their enemies. Oh and some particularly arrogant humans will wear blue robes and anoit themselves Big Blue Sphere Kings, Prophets of The Big Blue Sphere, they will wage wars against those who worship the Tiny Hot Sphere in The Sky because they are clearly wrong. Also blue eyed people are blessed and chosen and bring good luck 😂
I don't find the universe's constant remind of our "insignificance" to be depressing, because we are not insignificant in the universe, we merely exist, the rest of universe also merely exists. From tiny electrons to supermassive black holes, so far it's only us that are bothered by our "mere" existence. We need it to be "more" somehow, being equal to everything else is not enough, we see that as inferiority.
Therefore to me it's human arrogance that I find depressing, it seems deep rooted within us, we are cursed to have a deep desire to be at the center of a universe that never had a center.
My personal cure for this is to look at the other side of that coin, for as much as we desire centerness, we also desire connection, and there's no connection like being one with everything that there is, or ever was, or ever will be. We are all equal, from the big bang till today we are all elemental particles wearing different forms, yesterday they looked like a star, today they look like a human, tomorrow they will look like a flower in someone's garden. In this way I consider myself very lucky, because I got this however brief window to *know* of this journey and appreciate it.
Thank you for reading my mini essay 😂
ur not a french fuck
Why did i get emotional after watching this? The music is simply impecable. Great Job, amazing job. You deserve all the likes

My god, that was excellent. It felt like I was there and using my trusty binoculars. Well done.
Thank you!
I'm pretty sure the gas giants have further moons than the rocky ones is because they have more mass, which makes more gravity.
Yes. We know this
The gas giants are also further from the Sun, allowing their gravity well to extend farther. (Neso orbits Neptune at a maximum distance of some 77M kms from that planet, more than half the distance between Earth and the Sun. That would not be possible for any planet within Earth’s orbit regardless of size.)
I am so happy we got ourselves the moon, so that we can get into the surface and literally see earth from here. AMAZING!
Okay. I really want to see a 360° version of this video, if it's even possible
You can probably do this yourself on a space engine
great video, it will be even greater with distance, size of the moons, and the velocity of the moons. how those moons stay so close and not crashing into planet is simply amazing
This is very cool. Thanks!

Its the 2ndmost distant now 2new moons one of them is far away like neso
Neptune is the third most massive planet in the solar system after Jupiter and Saturn. However, it has the largest *_sphere of influence_* of all because its moons are much less disturbed by the Sun's gravity due to its large distance. Neptune's sphere of influence would be smaller than Jupiter's and Saturn's if it orbited the Sun at their distances, making Neso's orbit impossible.
@@fromnorway643 ah ok, tysm!!!
