Hi Everyone! Here is the next supercut as requested. This is three New Horizons episodes merged into one. I put a lot of effort into making this feel like one episode so I hope it was worth it to you! If you enjoyed that, have that feeling of outer space in your room with this *Floating* *Moon* *Lamp* www.encalife.com/pages/_go_/floating-moon-lamp?ref=5403:574869

For reference, New Horizons in total cost about $780.6 million. For comparison, the Burj Khalifa (tallest skyscraper in the world) cost about $1.5 billion. So for the cost of one skyscraper, you could fund New Horizons nearly twice over. I never want to hear people complain about how inefficient NASA is again.

@firefighter343 5 месяцев назад

Well said! Bravo

@thefrogggy100 5 месяцев назад

Well that is for a very tall skyscraper. The cost of the Empire State Building cost about 40 million - accounting for inflation, this is 736 million today. The first World Trade Center (both buildings) cost about 900 million, which is 6.5 billion today, or about 3.25 billion per building. It really depends on the building in question. No skyscraper is built equally. So the Empire State Building could pay for a bit less than one New Horizon's, while one tower of the old World Trade Center could pay for about four New Horizon's. The Burj Khalifa could pay for 3 New Horizon's by itself.

Earth has a couple extra moons too. It's worth noting many of the things we call moons are just big rocks. Earth's auxiliary moons are literally just captured asteroids and eventually they'll either get pulled to the surface or they'll get flung back out into the solar system. Pluto being so far out it doesn't have much else pulling on the rocks it captures.

@staticbuilds7613 7 месяцев назад

Most planets have a lot of moons. It's speculated that Jupiter is the reason why our 4 planets in our solar system close to the sun has no moons, beside our large one. I think the theory is that Jupiter was closer to the sun and took out and stole most of the moons, the other gas giants like Uranus, Saturn and Neptune then pulled Jupiter away from the sun and took the moons and asteroid belts with them.

@magnafoxodyssey2127 7 месяцев назад

It's still a planet. The AIU are tricking astronomer lovers concerning Pluto status as a planet. Without Pluto the earth would not be here. Our solar system is being missed classified by the Catholic church. I know they are behind making Pluto a dwarf planet. Don't be fooled. Pluto is still part of our solar system. Without Pluto life would not exist as we know it. It takes 10 celestial bodies, not 9 to make the solar system complete or run or to operate. Ten not nine.

Fun fact: It is true that most planets are not tidally locked to their moons. This is different for Pluto and Charon based on Distance, mass ratios etc. But earth is actually on its way to become tidally locked to the earth moon. The planet is very very very slowly decelerating in terms of rotation, while the moon uses this energy to increase the distance of the 2. One day the day will be as long as the moon cycle and the earth will have reached a stable state where it is tidally locked to the moon as well.

Well, phone calls rely on a omni-directional signal output meanwhile space comms relies on directional signal communications.

@paulward4268 Год назад

Yeah.. but from Pluto distance, it took approximately 4 hours and 25 minutes to receive the signal back on Earth. Don't think it takes that long to make a call in your house - even with patchy reception! 😁

I’ve been out for the past 13 hours tripping on LSD with my two best friends in the world, I’m back at home now coming down and I’m so comfortable in bed and I just saw this come up on my recommended. I would never ever watch this normally but I’m just really in the mood to appreciate how beautiful the universe is right now. I can tell you with extreme happiness that this video very much achieved that and I am appreciating the universe so much right now. If you’re reading this, look at your palms and just study them man, they’re beautiful.

I think it is amazing to see something that no previous generation before us has ever seen. To view images from the outer edge of the solar system and beyond in this kind of resolution is a remarkable achievement for humanity.

@drewdegen9043 Год назад

The sheer beauty of these images is riveting and the realization that it is all happening 6 billion km away and we can actually see it is mindbending. All the effort put into making this video is absolutely worth it. Thank you!
