Pluto's Dark Side Revealed | Planet Explorers | BBC Earth Science 

Seeing Scientists full of joy after they accomplished their missions is one of the most beautiful sights ever you can witness. You can wonderfully see their passion and happiness. So happy for them and we as viewers couldn't thank them enough.

Incredible and inspiring. Hats off to the scientists and engineers who make such discoveries possible. They are the very best of human kind.

I love that Pluto turned out to be so interesting. It may not be a planet anymore, but it's such an amazing place.

Charon is orbiting so close to Pluto that it's reasonable to think that is why there is geologic activity on Pluto. That would suggest there may bey activity on Charon as well.

This is one of the greatest achievements of mankind. Heck, just _getting there_ in the right spot at the right time was a huge achievement. But those images... They are mind-blowingly awesome, incredible, and any other such adjectives and superlatives you can think of.

You're still my ninth planet, Pluto.

Have *_Charon_* as my desktop background… on two 24” 1920 × 1200 res screens. The detail is exquisite.

Science + Humanity for the win...

I've always thought Pluto's active geology and potential subsurface ocean were some of the coolest facts about our solar system!

I was beyond facinated to see such mineralization diversity. Geological activity. Different Unique Environments across the planet. I could have never guessed that would be the case. Its amazing.

Pluto is geologically active most probably due to Charon and gravitational squeezing. Charon also might be active.

I was so excited for this mission. I've been fascinated by Pluto since I was a child, and didn't know how I was going to bear the wait from 2006 to the fly-by. I remember seeing footage arriving bit by bit and becoming more and more focused as the probe got closer. The best bit was seeing that it was red!

Big credit to the cameran, for taking videos of the spacecarft fly on pluto 😂

I'm happy to have seen pictures of all the planets in our solar system in my lifetime.

Pluto will always be my nineth planet ❤️ ♥️

I'm now 51 and been interested in all the planets since I was a young boy. Plute was completing the set before it was cruely demoted. Planethood for Pluto!

This was jaw dropping watching it live. I hope we start sending probes to the moons of Saturn and Jupiter.

Being that far ....it has a heart ❤

2006 was the best year, back in highschool.

4:45 I want to thank you for including me in the group effort ("human kind" she said). I mean all I did was subscribing to this channel and leave some likes here and there... But yeah, go team! 💪

I love Pluto

Pluto is the most beautiful planet out there eventhough its status drop to dwaft planet. I wonder where is New Horizon now went

Would it be hard to spend a lifetime and career researching a place you’ll never see, but observe from afar? It just seems like it would be empty to always get data and never experience that place

I'm in love with her solar system bracelet 🤩😍

I wonder if some form of electromagnetic field New Horizons went through at the 10 days place when communications were disrupted?

I like Pluto is beautiful planet and colourfull planet.

When we were on Horsehead, only five of us could land on Pluto and survive but suffered physical injury until we figured out the right size to be. It’s different for different Plutos. Chiron is Wax Doll Pluto which as the least pressure and extreme temperature. Wax dolls don’t like pressure. They don’t like too much heat. Chiron’s environment is similar to that of Horsehead.

Interesting

I remember when news broke of the first actual close picture was being uploaded on Twitter as soon as the craft flew by. I remember rushing to check it and I was totally blown away.

It’s very beautiful to see Pluto for the first time but did she actually said that they would wait to have kids just to see Pluto!

There is no dark side in Pluto really. Matter of fact, it's all dark.

You can read about our first landing and see what happened to us there in Titus Groan.

Fun fact: Pluto is smaller then the 9 largest moons of the solar system.: Trition Europa Luna IO Cillisto Titan (me) and Ganymede.

Give Pluto it's planet status back.

Venus Wax Doll looks like an ice covered white ball. Wax dolls get into the habit of eating crayons. That is one of the reasons the colors on the surface of Chiron look like hard wax pastel paint.

what happen to the lights seen on pluto flyby ???

Pluto ain't what we thought. I thought it just was a ball of ice, but it ain't so. It is far stranger and more wonderful than that.

We all have our secrets. It is important to not be judgemental.

What is the New Horizons space craft doing/going now?

Even dwarf planets can have something to offer. :)

🙏🙏🎉👍

I don't understand why they wouldn't just have it orbit pluto...

I feel like I'm watching the Europa report.

For Dark Mercury, Pluto feels cold. Pluto is not meant to be cold. For Plutonians, they go to Pluto because they are even older and darker than what Dark Mars can provide. For someone who has gone very small inside, your soul is about the size of mouse, rather than a monkey or a piglet, Pluto makes you feel bigger than a mouse. The only truly cold planet is Uranus. Pluto is very very dense. So it has the ability to squish dark matter into shape and make you feel bigger than what you were.

Man, these scientists are playing No Man's Sky/Starfield in real life

There's cities in pluto if we travel there few beings will tell us to go back where we came from

The reason why you are asked to not go to Pluto is because you wouldn’t be able to survive the landing.

When do we get to send a satellite to orbit Pluto to maps

The video and storyline are amazing. The background sound ‘music’ destroys the whole video. Better to delete it.

Personally, I see no issue with taking pluto out of the"planet" category as such. The backbone of science is precise language. Pluto isn't just a planet, It's a special kind of one, called a dwarf planet. Science and it's exactitude, Allow for Detailed Exploration. If only theology was as precise, with exact, linguistic precision.

Perhaps that is what the tic tacs are looking at earth!!!

Your going to find pillars there leave them no matter what Optimus says 😂

so ilegal mininig n shrinking pluto is real😅😅😅

So r we adding pluto back in the solar system list ?

🐄🐂💩🔂🌛🌝🌜

Hat off to the far away in future people that will one day live in a base on pluto. No idea why but I'm sure they'll have a reason! Maybe we'll even have plutonians that will fight for freedom and a stop to the oppression from earth or mars.

Make it a planet again. Or just stop it's embarrassing..

That isn't Pluto.... It's the habitable planet "candidate" in Alpha Centauri. Communications interrupted u say? Well there is intelligent life out there! Surprisingly close out there.

Third like 🤝

CGI CGI CGI LIES LIES LIES NO ONE CAN GET OUT OF THE EARTH

Emily blunt?

90% of your show is 3D effects and makes you wonder why you lost comm of your explorer? lols

Shame Pluto has been downgraded.

Sheer waste of money.....

So odd that, in the shots of mission control, it's about 90% men in there. But the BBC interviews almost entirely women for all of these "BBC Earth Lab" episodes.

FOOL HYBRID DONKEYS 😂

NASA is a waste of time what have you archive from this missions y don't u guys take this money on feed the homeless

What a monumental waste of money.
