The Discoveries On Ceres That Shocked NASA Scientists | Dawn Mission 

I was also shown the wonders of the universe from a young age and it's stuck with me ever since! Great to hear it's being passed on to the next generation!

points for the use of the word "somniloquent" although I'm not sure that saying the narrator is "muttering in his sleep" is to be taken as a compliment or a backhanded insult? LOL

Don’t touch him

What a great idea. Cant wait to show my oldest son these videos

Bless you. As a father myself of boys (now grown up), that sounds a beautiful bedtime tradition. I'm sure he'll remember it always.

i can smell him smile

@@zaplyte6564 I can feel it

mitch i

I can hear him smile

Truest words ever!

You can't be cereous.

I agree Ceres deserves more attention and exploration. I must admit I was a bit disappointed though when Dawn arrived as I had spent my life thinking Ceres would be a much more dynamic world than it is. Especially after Pluto was so amazing.

Yeah I never heard about it until today & wonder how long people have known about it?

Bo's is underrated

Ceres and the asteroid belt in general appear to be a low priority in exploration. As ion propulsion is improved we will see more missions to the asteroid belt and beyond maybe human missions as well. Imagine a crewed ship reaching Mars in less then half the time it takes now for a vehicle to reach that area of space. And probes that could tour the asteroid belt at leisure exploring the various points of interest.

Hello funny I'm Dad

@@aaronmuller6050 I want a divorce.

STaSHZILLA you have good content

I see what you did there.....

@@michaelcoulter1114 Ah, it Dawned on you :)

Is that from the Expanse books?

“Doors and corners are we’re they getchya”

I came here specifically for an Expanse reference, and there it was--BAM--right out the chute.

What version of Miller do you mean, with hat or without ?

@@johnwalker1553 spoiler!!!

I know right!

To be fair, most of these dwarf planets have been little more than points of light in a telescope's lens or pixelated spots in digital imagery, if they were discovered at all. We probably categorized Pluto as a planet because we didn't know that point of light was actually two object, Pluto and Charon, in a binary dwarf planet system until 1978. Using the light from both bodies to calculate its mass, we probably assumed Pluto was more massive than it actually was. We also didn't confirm discovery of the Kuiper Belt and all it's Pluto-sized objects until 1992, making Pluto much less special (planet worthy). I'm very excited for the Lucy mission, which just launched a week ago. It'll fly by multiple asteroids in Jupiter's orbit over a 12-year period. Sadly, we have to wait over 5 years the first images.

There is even life out there

exactly we like to oversimplify and approximate our views with categories, heuristics and preconceived biases its easy to see what you expect and move on without really scratching the surface

Agreed!

And if it really is boring, then that's because you picked something boring to examine, in which case you should pick something else.

This conversation is boring.

@@MelindaGreen life and the universe are way too complex to ever be boring

Some might say..... At least no humans there

what kind of proto-molecule?

@Pintkonan watch The Expanse, on Amazon Prime, and find out :)

The stargates would be kind of cool though.

It’s late . “ They “ found it and are taking advantage of everything to their own benefit .

I will think of you when the James Webb deploys.

@@jdsd744 The latest launch date is now 3/30/21. Very much looking forward to it! (I just hope I'm not disappointed again...)

Yeah, like an Empire State building nestled into one of the craters, or next to one of the mountains... I agree...

that is a good critique, he should consider that in future videos

There was one reference to scale in the cone shaped mountain called Ahuna Mons which was though to be a cryovolcano. The given heght was 5 km or 3.1 miles.

@@Quickened1 Yes that or a stack of elephants or school buses.

U did show a city in comparison in one video. That would be great to see. Thank you again. Love your videos. Watch them before going to sleep, so I can dream about it. Cheers from Brazil

lol

Guilty! Guilty! Lol! 🤣

thank you haha

Space salt on your potatoes? 🍠

Why would you need to boil mercury, it is already the 2nd hottest planet 😂

Now ! I'm hungry !

What a bizarre, yet somehow completely accurate description

and replacing iron with water lol

exactly what i was thinking

That is the array antenna. We took the bait.

@@alectraproject its actually ancient forerunner ruins that hold the key to all the halo installations locations

😘

Some actual scientists also believe that Pluto should be a planet. One in particular, Alan Stern, says that Pluto and Ceres, and many more should all be considered planets.

"Them"?

Setashion?

For real though its actually super cool how our understanding of the universe is advancing so fast that pretty soon James A. Corey is going to be as scientifically outdated as Bradbury or Asimov.

Water, H2O, is likely the most abundant molecule in the universe after molecular hydrogen, H2. There’s likely loads of ammonia, NH3, and methane, CH4, in the outer solar system. Hydrogen, oxygen, carbon and nitrogen. We just need to bring along some trace elements and we can pretty much live off the land anywhere in our solar system and very likely any other star system.

@@CarFreeSegnitz I don't think we need to supply the elements as much as we need to supply the energy, which is much harder.

Keep a hundred million people hydrated with ocean water. Abundance is not usefulness.

@@CalPhotoGuy desalinate the abundance and there you go, useful drinking water 🚰

His accent caught my attention as well. I think it might be Southern Welsh but I'm not an expert

I think aussie or south African?

Definitely not Texan!

Rade-Blunner He’s Indian

@@SM-A405FN Certainly not aussie

Hello wonderful person!

Hi , I like metiorites , if I had an earth peridot and a cosmic peridot ..can anyone tell the difference?...is there any ...subcomponent that is clearly astro ,rooted ?...know any good books ? ..I need science pictures ! Have a grande day , c yaz.

Alfred Bester is right up there with Ben Bova, Theodore Sturgeon, and David Drake as a Science-Fiction writer; he also wrote, "The Deceivers" and "The Demolished Man". By the way, the man's name was Gulliver Foyle.

@@fairwinds610 All I can think about is Robert A Heinlein's "The Rolling Stones", with its description of "Ceres Base" as the hub, safe haven, and clearinghouse for all the rough & ready asteroid miners and their families -- calling in to stake their claims, sell their metals and monopoles, buy parts and repairs; maybe visit the restaurants, bars, casinos, and whorehouses. It was juvenile fiction at its best and really put stars in my eyes.

There are 90 million species of animal and plants on this planet and jinns and angels which we cant see. Even people who died, their souls are somewhere in universe or in heavens. i dont know why people are so curious about aliens only. we are not alone anyway.

@@ali-k643 mostly the question of whether or not we're alone speaks for our planet as a whole - like is there inhabitance on another planet

There very large chance of life actually being in our solar system, microbial life for sure but intelligent alien life might be quite rare in our galaxy but considering how many planets and stars there is in our galaxy alone it is ignorant and mental to assume there is not intelligent life in fact I venture there is quite a lot of it.

@Siliance Gaming we might or we might not be! We'll never know! This universe is vast. The distances are so huge, we'll never know of their existence

@@ali-k643 Can we please stick to science when talking about science? Thank you.
