New Planets Are Being Discovered Beyond Neptune! But Have You Ever Heard of Them? 

Love the little detail of adding the color corrected Neptune photo

The New Horizons flyby was especially useful because it enabled a close-up study of two dwarf planets since Pluto and Charon are more a binary pair than a primary and its moon. All the main planets with moons have the centre of gravity of the planet-moon system within the planet. The centre of gravity of the Pluto-Charon system is outside the surface of Pluto, that is, between the two binary bodies.

Fascinating how many potential dwarf planets our solar system has. Greetings from northern Germany

All ur videos Rob are very interesting n informative..👍👌

Getting close to 1 million subscribers!!! Fingers crossed you reach that goal by the end of the year ❤

Beautiful video, keep going 🤍

Love your videos. I still class Pluto as the 9th planet. I'm in my 50s and stubborn. However, although I knew of some of the so called dwarf planets ( I hate that term ). I was unaware of some of the names, so thanks very much for the education, been appreciated

I would be very lucky if ever I'm gonna see a close pic of Gonggong just like Pluto...🙂

Sometimes i get the feeling our solar system is still evolving !

Thank you for the great content Rob

Thank you for another wonderful video Rob! You're one of my fav on YT! Keep up the wonderful work, and I always look forward to my space fix with your vids!

We want more long videos from you

I would not be surprised if a Moon, Mercury or Mars sized object is eventually located in or beyond the Scattered Disk. If such a large and massive body existed in the Kuiper Belt, it's presence would have been detected long ago. But if one or more of them are lurking 100 A.U. from the Sun if not several times farther out, they could still be as yet hidden worlds yet to be discovered.

Appreciate your efforts and amazing quality videos! Ty for all your efforts, Cheers 🍻 Rob 💫

Love this content

Excellent Video, Thank You Rob. 👍🇮🇹

I'm still bumming over Pluto being named a dwarf planet.

I'd really live to see these dwarf planets up-close

This is a good upload. Thank you for doing this

Amazing visuals and quality commentaries must be a V101 video ❤❤❤

So if our sun is a dwarf star and it's habitability range is over a 100 million miles, then it's safe to assume that a star 10 times the size of the sun, theoretically could have a range of over a billion miles. And the stars....so many options. There could be systems out there that harbor life, billions of miles from its center.

Awesome videos as always say

Love this stuff

Pluto is a planet, always will be.

I enjoyed this video. I loved not only the narration but also the science, the music and especially the wonderful and accurate recreations of dwarf planets. Kudos to you for such a nice work!

I love space, but what I want to know is who names these planets.🤨

Im excited what new kuiper objects will we discover These "planets" are full of mysteries

Now imagine if one day we did a flyby like Pluto and one of the other dwarf planets revealed city lights way down below. And we be surprised.

One of my favorite topics. Excellent video. Thanks for this!

Excellent stuff!

arrokoth will always be Ultima Thule to me.

TNOs one of my favourite topics thank you

The strange thing about the rings of Quaoar is that they aren't actually next to eachother. The imagery shown is about how far the inner ring is, but the outer one around twice as far away. Also, astronomical "red" is more likely a darker beige tone, more orangish yellow rather than truly red.

Perfect

Fascinating-flabbergasted !! So happy-Proud that the Scientific Community honored our Southern California History-Culture !! 🦾✊🙏🕊️

thanks

Fuck yeah Rob, another banger

Those names

Fascinating. Thank you. 89,000 to go. Hopefully 1 million soon!!!👍😊

Vanth is a cool moon name

The solar system is extending like crazy

If any more of these dwarf planets are found, I'd purpose naming one Yuggoth, after a distant planet in H.P. Lovecraft's stories.

Thank you for a great video.❤

Hi thank you very good.

Fun fact:Most of the Dwarf planets colours are most likely not what you think. Makemake is white, Quaoar is brown-ish, others are grey, and more.

This is awesome vlog and our solar system i think is bigger than we think

Distant planets are like distant relatives. You don't even know their names but there they are.

Back in my day we used to have 9 planets 🪐

If the motive for demoting Pluto was that, with all these new, similar-sized objects being discovered, it would force them all to be classified as "planets" and lead to hundreds of these "planets", then, with multitudes of these now-reclassified "dwarf planets" being discovered, does that not render the original re-classification of these objects totally pointless? Now, you don't have a hundred "planets" - you have 8 planets and 100 "DWARF planets". So what was the point? You now only have 8 "planets", but you STILL now have the same 100 other celestial objects you did before. THESE just get a slightly different designation. Does not compute. ALSO, if a "planet" or "Dwarf Planet" has to be (approximately round, Arrakoth is totally out of either classification, because it is not even CLOSE to "round". Guess we need another new classification. Might I suggest "Wierdly-Shaped Space Thingies"?

What a great video. Do any of you smart astronomy enthusiasts know if something small could be orbiting the earth that hasn't been discovered? Like a mini mini moon with a weirdly shaped orbit? I'm just getting interested in this stuff, so this could be a silly question...

عالی❤

Pluto❤

I know spacex starship can't compare to a gravity assist from a planet, but I've been wondering if all the thrust from a refueled starship could help fling a small craft and get places like this sooner. Please don't make fun of me lol.

That was an amazing journey.. thank you so much! loved that trip to outta space

I love everything about the outer solar system dwarf planets. Iam obsessed with them.

So, how many planets are in our solar system? Dwarf planers included.

Was "Gonggong" named by Chuck Barris?

Bit of a misleading title. It should be: "The Forgotten Dwarf Planets Beyond Pluto! Have You Ever Heard of Them?" These dwarf planets have been discovered in the mid-to-late 2000s.

But, what about Varuna too?

When you've already heard of these 🤓

But Pluto hasn't cleared its neighborhood. It has all its moons surrounding it. Does that mean that other celestial bodies such as Saturn can also not be planets because it has a bunch of moons and rocks in its rings?

where do we get the info for the surface colors?

I have a question; why moons don't have their moons? (Is there any moon found outside solar system with moon/s). I will appreciate if anyone answers it. Thanks.

Why can't JWST find them with its powerful cameras?

We should get one and get in in earth's orbit.... good times

❤❤❤❤

Is the native American named one's moon tidally locked to its "dwarf planet, or are both of them tidally locked with each other like Pluto, and may be a binary system? Also the egg shaped one might be that shape because it spins fast, so could that be the reason for that rings around it to be in an unusual place outside the rouche limit and gravity and its fast spin is holding on to them?

I wonder what James Webb would see.

Planet gunggong

Pluto the most beloved of the celestial bodies…? I really prefer Earth due to it’s gravity and oxygen rich atmosphere. Oh and also the drinkable water comes in handy!

Why haven't they shown up on JWST?

I wish those planets would just quit hiding themselves...like they do. Come out come out wherever you are...LOL

Word

If a planet the size of mars or larger ever gets found out there, you can bet your bottom dollar the race will be on for a flyby ASAP

Another case then for another binary planet perhaps 😶 ..Orcas & Vanth ?

Should I bring my 🧥 when visiting Gong-gong?

The real Gonggong is Venus

Far out man

What about the GOBLIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello any GongGongs who stay there. Lol

👏💯🇬🇹

Hello

Will we be able to find a planet with life near our Earth in the near future?

I think you are confusing Quaoar with Haumea.

Ill be dead before 35 years argh i wont see it🙄

What's up with these names? Am I learning about dwarf planets or Pandas?

9 major planets! You nor others have the right to rewite History.

Not keen on the name's of these "new planets". What about big bold warrior name's like Thanos or Maximus! No, we have gonggong..😂😂

I was able to graduate school calling Pluto a planet. Now I have to go back to 4th grade in my 50s. Good news, I can drive myself and I'm going to be a real threat in flag football.

Don't forget the planet Llangison, discovered by Welsh astronomist Gwilam Parry-Jones in 1954 just before sector 8f of the Milky way. Unusually it changes shape depending in which season it is, due to the magnetic forces of its moon Llanigiron which should really be the planet as it is bigger. Due to its molecular composition it's classed as a moon. Parry-Jones and his team did visit the planet in 1974 but had to return as the couldn't land as its surface was very soft and were worried they wouldn't be able to take off again. They did bring back some ground samples and found it was made from Opel Fruit sweets. So our moon is made of cheese, it's amazing how many celestial bodies are made of food, and don't forget our sun is made from Tango fizzy orange.

What is all the red material on those dwarf planets? Could it be "blood ice"?

Ah, yes! My favorite dwarf planets Dingdong and Quauauauaua

This solar system is binary - what about the planets that revolve around our brown dwarf? They will be soon coming around again, like they do every 3,600 years. The last time they were here, it created what we call The Exodus in Egypt. The Bible has a name for one of these planets, it is Wormwood.

Pluto is a planet, you forgot

You meant to say 9 planets😊

Why the F are they naming planets after Chinese?

Actually I have heard of them, so don't be so bloody patronising

why do they keep giving things "names" that arnt words...

All speculation

FIRST
