I love how even the most seemingly mundane planets are spectacular and unique in their own ways. It's a nice time to be alive, being able to learn all of this as the discoveries are being found.
Oh definitely. I remember thinking of Pluto as that boring little ball of rock right on the edge of the solar system, and never realising how wrong I was. Weird and wonderful to think that even such a distant, cold place has, in its own way, a thriving and dynamic environment.
When he was talking about the slurry falling from Pluto onto Charon..
Anyone else immediately think of Ash Twin & Ember Twin from Outer Wilds..? Where the ash waterfall from one planet is falling down onto the other haha
5. Yup, this is what the Information Age is all about. Having the ability to know literally everything, our only task now is learning how to process it all so we don't fall into madness, ie mentall illnesses and whatnot.
Pluto is a dwarf planet, but it's still planet. & our sun is a dwarf star, but it is still a star.
People before were just as astonished about things we take for granted.. its all about perspective. Future us, would take everything we learn now for granted.
"Pluto is always hiding its heart from Charon in this eternal waltz"
I think of this line for the rest of the week and smile.
Even better if you know the name "Persephone" (the wife of Hades / Pluto) was considered for the moon.
Just like my love story. Lovely Pluto.
@@paulgibbon5991 maybe Pluto secretly has a thing for Charon instead 😂
The ending was so impactful...Thought provoking and somewhat emotional. Might just be existential dread.
Yes, I felt a pang of dread there for a moment ... our minuteness and absolute insignificance ... **shudder**
When I looked between the two pics and started to get an idea of the depth from it, it definitely made me feel something I don't have words for. Maybe existential wonder?
Today do I want a hot sammich or cold? My scope is not that big.
@@cacogenicist I always have that feeling in the face of greatcourses
Yeah, that one hit me a little. Everything is just so far away.
I shared this video with my coworkers at Johns Hopkins APL -- thanks for using our imagery and illustration!
why does this look more clear, and better resolution than i have seen for pics of earth? weird...
@@lovealways2609 Because pluto is smaller and has no significant atmosphere so the spacecraft can get closer to the surface and take photos with less blurring from the atmosphere and its water vapors then when photographing the earth.
Must be good to have a job you love doing like that
I remember 10 years ago on a field trip to a planetarium the presenter told us how new horizons will give us a ton of information about pluto. We have come so far!
Pluto's year is ~240 Earth years long. We haven't even known about this little planet for ONE of its years, lol!
Is too small
Good point ! And thought provoking ! 🤗
A pluto Year is equivalent to 90,560 Earth days.
-> 90,560/365=248,1095890410959
@@afonsoferreira2652 248 years.. :-D
@@afonsoferreira2652 90560 days.
As much as I adore Pluto and I'm always excited to heart about new discoveries from it.. that Alpha Centauri photo comparison blew my freaking mind. Comparing the two images gave a sense of depth that you don't often get with space images and shows just how close alpha Centauri is to us, while also showing just how far *Everything* is from us. It's instane.
I was like 13 or 14 when NASA and the Post Office released the Planets series of stamps. I remember wondering why we hadn't gone to Pluto yet. I followed New Horizons from launch and gosh what a wait for it to arrive. I remember being nervous the week before closest encounter. I can't imagine how the New Horizons team felt during that time.
New Horizons did not disappoint. Amazing work and the images were gorgeous.
A return journey to Pluto would take at leasst 50 years, because you have to skow dowh as you approach instead of just rushing by. You then get a very bleak welcome something like the south pole of Mars in mid winter. Would you volunteer for it?
When I was in my 20's (back in the late 90's) I would have never imagined that I would ever see high resolutions of Pluto in my life time (much less Neptune). I'm 44 now and I hope to still be around 20 more years. I can't even imagine what we'll see then.
next year, JWST is going up and by 2025 the world's largest ground telescope will be ready.
Same here. It's an amazing time to be alive.
Yes while we have not done much with manned space travel we did discover a lot of things we now even know about exoplanets we had no idea about them back then.
@@belstar1128 If you were me back then seeing today. When I was in 3rd grade, I saw the Challenger explode. Later I saw Libya launch missiles, Russian controlled Berlin fall, the Soviet Union crumble. I pretty much checked out for the rest of the 90's Then seeing 9/11 as it happened. So, seeing Pluto in high rez is bigger to me that you can ever fathom. I feel some peace about it.
It's frustrating that nothing happened with manned exploration during 80s 90s 00s and 2010s. NASA and the government screwing around with pet projects burning money. Glad that musk is pushing the limits again
You said some new discoveries have been unearthed, but haven't they been unpluto'd?

New Horizons: "Nice knowing ya, Pluto."
Pluto: "Hey come back I haven't finished yet!"
I remember when this project was proposed. I didn’t think going out to an object more akin to a large dead asteroid. Ops sure got that one wrong.
Oh please don’t leave me!
Cold hearted Pluto and heartless Charon. Dreamteam.
I wish more TH-cam channels were this good.
What do you think of mine? 😁
Suspicous Observers is for sure
Yeah if there’s one thing TH-cam videos need it’s more fucking ads in the middle of the video.
yes, though I might develop bed soars from never leaving my viewing spot lol
@@TheDailyGalactic not bad but would be nice if you could use normal units of measurement ;)
Today, I learned that Pluto has liquid water inside and is tidally locked with Charon. Love this! Don't stop.
possibly. It's a theory. The ocean that is. the tidal locking is probably a fact.
It may ne be very liquid. It may not be even there and what's going on under there might be something else.
Pluto has a very interesting history, and there is a lot of work that we need to do to understand this very complicated place 🛰🔭
I was looking for this on your channel a week ago, and now you dropped this! Thank you man.
Alex you're an excellent story teller and always something new to learn. So thank you
I love this video. It was so informative.
Keep it up.
Definitely enjoyed this ! Pluto has stolen a piece of my heart !😜
Pluto is amazing! 😍
Yes indeed. Pluto does with our 💙😀
Me too
Pluto is wearing your heart on it's sleeve to show it's devotion to you!
An amazing science teacher got me hooked on space. I would say that means a lot as an English major I don't have a lot of interest in science. Thanks for feeding my mind Astrum.
What a mysterious, beautiful and enchanting place so far far away yet so close! Thanks for bringing this to us!
Your videos are just so good. I always want to tell everybody about the knowledge I learnt after I‘ve seen an Astrum video!!
Thank you so much Astrum for this video about Pluto and Charon. I've been into space since I am 7 and finally being able to get so much information more than 20 years later about the object which was the least known on that time is amazing. Thank you also for sharing that application you showed to learn about a vast array of subjects. I only had one question about it, does it offer any other languages subtitles by any chance ?
09:06 this set of pictures of the Alpha Centauri is AMAZING!
If you know how to watch a set of 3D image with your naked eyes,
you'll sense the 3D space and see the Alpha Centauri floating there.
Absolutely beautiful. You have the best astronomy channel. Thank you so much for making these videos
Astrum inspired me to make mine!
9:06 thats one of the most insane things ive ever seen in my life
When horizons sends out it's last signals it will send ack it's then New view of alpha sintori, till then :)
Yep 100%. I always thought that the scale of our solar system wasn't enough to see that big a movement in the sky of another star. A lot of people talking about how small it made them feel but for me it made it feel like alpha centuri is a real place that is out there in space and not just a dot in the sky.
Love watching this channel. Always feel a sense of peace and calmness watching it.
Hey...Really love your stuff. No matter how well I thought I understood the things you talk about, there's always something new to discover here!
Hey.... Please make a video on largest known Star 🌟.
I really like ur channel, keep doing ur work.. Love from India 🇮🇳
"Poetically speaking, Pluto is always throwing up on Charen"
This Charon looks way nicer than the one I saw yelling at a cashier at Wal-Mart.
Finally a Karen joke. I was scrolling through comments, and was like "what?? srsly, Internet? No Karen jokes?" :D
@@loza2101 me too!!!! I'm like is anyone else hearing this!?! I'm so glad I found you both lmao 🤣
A video from which you can learn a lot about Pluto and our solar system. I watched live the moment described by you and Pluto's heart was something of a sensation, in addition to all the news. It took almost a year to download the images and data captured by the New Horizons spacecraft
Damn, charons got no chill. They spread to even pluto 😂.
That’s a “ Karen” for ya!
How pluto got demoted, by changing the definition of planet...
How Pluto was discover by a american, is not a planet, but ceres was discover by a european and it's a dwarf planet, partisan much?
Holy cow that was 5 years?????????
Bloody scary actually...feels like early last year to me.
@@phaslow4393 Same here...
I love when we discover things we had no idea existed. In the depths of space there are going to be some even more amazing discoveries as the extremes of environment have their effect on different combinations of elements.
Thank you for a nice video of our ninth planet...
Pluto was such a revelation; a dynamic world where we expected a dull icy lump. I've had the classic New Horizons photo as my phone wallpaper for years now. However I've never understood why people got so upset when it was reclassified as a dwarf planet. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, as a smart fellow once said.
thank you man this is a premium content you are creating thank you
This channel is my favorite thing to watch in the morning. Thank you so much!
These "updates' are fascinating. Space objects are not static; chronicling the dynamism will only lead to greater and greater insight about the processes involved. Keep 'em coming, please.
I’ve never heard “ Charon” pronounced as “ Karen”. Now all I’m going to think about is Charon demanding to speak to the manager about her partner’s demotion to dwarf planet.
LOL
For more information, Charon is named after the Greek deific ferryman of the Underworld, and it's pronounced like "karen." However, when James Christy first discovered the moon, he had promised to name it after his wife, Charlene. Because of that, he called it Charon with a "sh-" sound, not knowing it was also the name of the mythological figure under a different pronunciation. As a result, most astronomers today refer to Charon as "sharen" as a reference to both the myth and Charlene, though the original "karen" pronunciation is also used sometimes.
I too am thinking of this moon as having a bit of an attitude problem 🤪
Also I have to respect her if she was sticking up for her partner lol
@@edvh88 Hope it doesn't try to steal other body's property.
another excellent video, thank you... the story just keeps getting better...
Thank you for your videos: Your presentations are so wonderfully pleasant to watch and listen to.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you,
how fascinating Pluto has become as well as its moon Karon, as we learn about all these new places we are still caught out with even more oustanding geographical finds, it makes so much sense that Pluto was once a water world that is now frozen as the evidence is fascinating,
Thanks again for your time & effort & i look forward to future programs
I hope we can make peaceful contact with the Tholins.
Sadly, we'll probably just end up in their web...
That would be “Tholian” but I see what you did there. I thought of the same thing. 😆 🖖
The Tholians are responsible for the climate change that occurred on Pluto. I saw it on the outer limits
@@lionman8523 Yes.
Your videos are some of the best astronomical content on TH-cam, such top quality and quite mind-blowing!! 👍🏻
Humans discarded Pluto from category of planets...but "Pluto" didn't say anything because it has a ❣️... really!!!!
Everyone except Jerry Smith.
A dwarf planet still a planet.
@@Richardj410 size doesn't matter 😂
@@bunnygaming3713 It does because of gravity. A planet clears our the area around it and its orbit. If pluto was bigger it would fit the definition of a planet. A planet is an astronomical body orbiting a star or stellar remnant that is massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity, is not massive enough to cause thermonuclear fusion, and - according to the International Astronomical Union but not all planetary scientists - has cleared its neighbouring region of planetesimals. Well that's what I understand. Thanks for the comment.
@@Richardj410 r/woooosh
And to think, NASA wasn't really interested in Pluto. Now I think it's one of the more interesting Solar family members.
When crossing stars pictures, that star literally lifts towards viewer from screen - like watching single tree in field with forest behind.
It's crazy, right? I've never felt that sense of depth from an image of space before and I can't stop thinking about it
My favourite body in the solar system by far. It has mountains, desets, snow, an icey world. I love it so much so that I will learn to lucid dream just to visit this place that makes my soul so full of peace, hope and happyness. I hope that I can get to Pluto in my 70's or maybe 80's.
Enjoy the trip. Myself, I think Astrum and I have different concepts of habitability.
Pluto news prioritizes everything for me.
Good Lord I love your stuff, Alex. Keep up the amazing work! You inspire me to do better work myself.
I'd love to see a telescope put in this region of space. Having a second viewpoint to compare to views from Earth might yield new discoveries.
What a great video. Beautiful images, still wrapping my head around the scope of the image New Horizons captured of our neighbouring star. Keep up the great work.
Cheers, Stay safe.

The name of Pluto’s moon was originally meant to be pronounced “Share-on.” It’s named for Charlene, the wife of its discoverer. James Christy, whose nickname was “Char.” The fact that it also spells the name of the ferryman on the River Styx was a semi intentional coincidence.
Yeah, Wikipedia lists both pronunciations as correct. Either Sharon or Karen. I personally prefer Sharon.
The Spanish name for Charon is "Caronte" which only leads to the mythical character.
It's actually pronounced "CARE-ON."
The correct pronunciation of the Greek god Charon is Kare-On. The correct pronunciation of Pluto's moon Charon is Share-On. This was agreed upon out of respect to the founder wanting to name the moon after his wife as mentioned above.
9:30 if you had put the earth view on the left, we could have actually experienced the parallax ourselves in stereoscopic view~!
I've got Charon on the phone: she wants to talk to your manager.
Lol!
To the top!
If I recall correctly Charon was a male :D
@@SandsOfArrakis IT'S MA'AM!
Thank you for another good one astrum!! Keep it up .. love the channel
How do we know for sure that the red cap on Charon is not endogenous, but due to "overflow" from Pluto?
We are so lucky to have images of such things... The technology advancement in the last 60 years has been remarkable... we should never take these things for granted.
Awesome video!
Lover your vids and space a lot!!!
Thanks for making such amazing space related video.
This Ice and rock planet is so cool! Beautyful ! I Never forget the first Day we see IT in details!
❤I love you, Astrum!
Are you a relative of his?? Or just happen to have the same last name lol?

Very cool video, interesting the latest data we are getting.
Do not understand the few thumbs down you received
How is it that this channel not have MILLIONS of subs!?!?
Thank you for not using disabling loud background music. Could actually hear the speech.
The channel is a gem.
This was one of my favorite episodes on this channel. I tried to find out how a water ocean could have remained liquid in such a cold environment. The only theory I came across was that heat is left over from when the planet formed. I'd like to see some calculations on that. It surprises me that that would be true. How hot was the planet soon after it formed? If it was all that hot why didn't the water get mostly boiled away? How good an insulator is the solid part of Pluto so as to prevent the ocean from cooling in 4 billion years or so?
Hard to believe it's been 5 years
The narration is sublime.
I've also watched some older videos - well a lot of videos in total - and it's improving over time. Well done!
I am surprised to see how small Pluto is.
Also a double planet system.
Fine fine video, and an exceptional ending regarding alpha centauri. Thank you for this superb analysis
We are discovering many sub-surface oceans in the Solar System, do you think that this is because we have intensified our search for water hoping to detect life?
I also think water is simply a lot more abundant than we may have first thought!
One of your best yet, Alex!
From the beating heart of Sputnik planitia to the strange new body of Arrakoth, I have a feeling New Horizons is only getting started on it's own great journey.
The note about alpha centauri was something special though, I dont think space gives me existential dread but a kind of existential awe. We know so much more than we ever did before in history and yet there is still so much more left for us to discover.
Love hearing about Pluto, our ninth planet. Being that it is so far away, how much actual sunlight does it get? I always wondered since all these pics are so bright.
Pluto is like a new relationship. The always have a "hot start"
Me and my family enjoy your content a lot. Your videos are very informative and entertaining, can't wait for the next one. Keep up the good work. What I said is very pleasing to the algorithm and surprisingly honest at the same time.
Wouldn't it be better to say that we "unplutoed" new information, rather than unearthed? 0:34
"Pluto is always hiding it's heart from Charon, in this eternal waltz.".
That means the artists impression of standing on Charon at 6:18 is wrong, as the heart is visible.
Sorry for being picky, loved the video overall.
Yes I noticed that too. Ah well, I still liked the image!
Nice one mate.
Astrum is always very informative and great viewing. 👍🤗
Charon: ''I would like to speak to Pluto's manager.''
"Mickey! Get out here!"
@@davidm5707 Mickey sees Charon. “ Oh it’s you again, ha-hah.”
The view of our nearest star barely moving, and thinking about how fast its going gave me the chills
Damn there's even a Karen is space :(
Right?
who is the manager of our solar system?
@@toomoii I think it’s safe to say that Jupiter is in charge 😄
@@ChainBaker Hmm, I'd say the sun is the manager of our solar system. Jupiter would be the manager's assistant :P
@@Candrex there are always positions above the manager so the Sun would probably be the ‘owner’ 😃 I’m sure Karen would go after both of them regardless.
Pluto is such a little planet and so far away, yet it's dear to our hearts. For certain its heart touches ours
Pluto and Charon are tidally locked and their barycenter is outside of Pluto. Why can't they just be classified as a binary system (both dwarf planets) than a planet and moon system?
You do a great job in explaining things to everyone. Thank You and I am looking foreward to your next video.
The narrator happily talking like he's smiling the whole time
Yea, that's a bit annoying actually.
I like it very much
Oh my, that was wonderful again. Thank you Alex.
OK, Charon.
Can't wait to do the Spanish version of this video 😍😍😍
That awkward moment when some people accidentally hit the dislike button instead of the like button...

@@alexiusuzhva4018 so ... since you're from the Ukraine shouldn't your thumb 👍🏼 be laying on it's side 🤔
May be, it's the people who's hearing is hurt every time, he calls Charon "Karen". :-) I was tempted, but managed to hold myself!
They are flatties that don't believe the earth is a globe or space exists.
Please keep it up. Love your videos. Very well put together. Pluto is a beautiful planet
3 P's:
Pluto is a Planet. Period.
Agreed.
So informative, so interesting love your videos. Can't wait for the next one
Couldn’t they have left new horizon keep orbiting Pluto indefinitely and keep showing us more of Pluto ?
it had too much momentum for it to be captured by pluto.
pluto is smol, and new horizons is SPEED
The orbital speed of Pluto is super slow relative to the speed it was at
No it should go into deep space forever.
New Horizons transmit bitrate is not just like *dialup modem*, it's 1200 bps and less, which is speed of *acoustic coupled* modem (v.22).
1:45 - "Karen is sooo big compared to-"
I couldn't _not_ hear it either ... it's like the Uranus situation now :/
@Justin Halladay You done praising yourself?
Compared to a Manager
Terrific work! Thank you!
