Has there already been a Megaproject on the Vera observatory in Chile? If not can we have one? I’d never even heard of it despite it sounding like a huge achievement.
Random fun fact : Neptune has two of the farthest moons from their parent planets. They are Psamathe and Neso. Psamathe is around 0.312 AU from Neptune and needs around 25 Earth years to orbit Neptune. While Neso is around 0.33 AU and needs around 26 to 30 Earth years to orbit Neptune. Their distance is comparable to Mercury's distance from the sun which is around 0.387 AU.
0.312 AU? Seriously? At that distance, you'd barely even be able to see Neptune as anything besides a blue star rather than an actual planet. Dang. It makes a degree of sense, I guess, since there's nothing nearby to disrupt those moons' orbits and so they can end up with such loose orbits, but still, wow.
@@GH29111 just checked wiki and did the math and it's true! They are "irregular moons" and even orbit in the opposite direction of the other moons of neptune
It'd be just like our sun to be roaming around other neighborhoods stealing other star's planets! It is like one of our parents after all and children learn from parents. 🤭
You have to admit though the drawing of that Rhino based only on written information and back in 1515 when some then could not even draw a human right is astonishing.
To me, up until the Renaissance and persisting in many places throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, European artists painted like children, their art quite amateurish. What's more remarkable is that this apparent amateurism persisted in some places well into the 19th century! The Chinese are only a little better. Like, why did it take so long to discover perspective and naturalism/realism? The most striking example, in my opinion, is Byzantine religious art (and Christian art in general). It's like the ability to depict the world accurately suffered a serious decline after the fall of the Western Roman empire.
In the 1970's I was a member of the Science Fiction Book Club. One of the books I got was a collection of short stories whose title I don't remember. There was one halfway decent story in it that was written by someone I also don't remember. The story was built around the fact that a scientist found Planet X and, using advanced, state-of- the-art experimental 2015 spacecraft, set out to visit it. As things turned out is was a Dyson Sphere built around a red dwarf (which makes sense now that I think about it). The RD had spent itself millions of years ago and the entire thing drifted into our neighborhood to hang around for a couple of million years.
But that's the name for the hypothetical planet that's supposed to be closer to the Sun than Mercury. Einstein himself disproved "Vulcan". Planet X, The one beyond Neptune, is a distinct theory from it.
Great work on all 84,000 channels as always, Simon! Could you consider a video on Venus? I always found it deeply fascinating (more so than Mars); beautiful yet hellish.

I find Mars so fascinating, sad and oddly beautiful. That if things had been a little different it could have held water, could have developed and kept life. We could have had Martians.
I think Einsteins theory is why everything is behaving outside of our models now tho. Astronomers are claiming 98% of the universe is invisible, dark matter and dark energy are undetectable but everywhere, and now TNOs acting funny - a simpler explanation is that our current theory of gravity is only accurate on a solar system scale, similar to how Newton’s was only accurate on a planetary scale. Just as an inaccurate theory forced us to invent Vulcan, Einsteinian gravity is forcing us to invent tonnes of stuff at large scales.

I read a book written by Mike Brown and it helped me appreciate how much of astronomy is having access to the right equipment at the right time with the right weather conditions. When he first started searching for TNOs his team was using an outdated analog telescope that still used photographic plates instead of digital technology, but that was actually a good thing because while digital cameras are really good at capturing focused images they’re not as good at long exposure wide shots which is what you need if you’re taking pictures of a large area and basically eliminating everything you know can’t be a planet. Of course digital technology has advanced a lot since then, but I thought that was really cool.
34 moons discovered in the outer solar system within my lifetime. That there were still massive undiscovered objects in our backyard after all this time is baffling. How unprepared we are for the necessary space exodus...
What wasn't mentioned here, is that the group of scientists who found those tno's suspect the planet nine might be circling sun in a totally different direction as the others. Sort of "vertical" which is very uncommon. That also makes it really difficulty to predict its position to search for it.

Sometimes, Simon, you get a subject where you and your team are all "top shelf" in production and presentation. The idea of the value in a search (based on best, or at least reasonable, information of its time) for what may well be not there I believe to be one of our better human traits. Well done! Ranger G.
Excellent, I had vaguely wondered about the relationship between Planet X and Planet 9. This reminds me philosophically of the things we discovered looking for The Northwest Passage.
The engineering required to enable the Vera C Rubin observatory to operate (without interference) is astonishing. It's well worth looking up a video on the techniques involved.
That will also be a hazard for space travel, it's not easy to detect and 2nd: it messes with star charts, sure you wont get sucked in but you might get lost instead with poor navigation
That possibility has been already theorized. However issue is based on the gravitational calculations Astrophysicists have come up with for the Planet X or Object X , this black hole can’t be more than the size of a baseball…
Nice work! While watching videos about our solar system, I think about the project I did in grade 7 about Jupiter. That was in 1979. I expect that it isn't quite as accurate as I thought it was back then.
I think we need a naming convention to prevent astronomy geeks from giving newly discovered astronomical bodies names that don't reflect well on the scientific community.
With species being named after celebrities, Pokemon, and Marvel characters; and fundamental particle names threatening to get sillier, I think a general convention on respecting the dignity of science is urgently needed!
In elementary school I hold a presentation about Sedna. Our teacher back then made 9 groups in the class (I think it was 2004), each of which should make a presentation about one of our planets in the solar system. I do not remember which group I was originally assigned to, but I remember that I googled a little bit around and learned about Sedna being named the tenth planet. So I asked my teacher to do an presentation about that one instead, so that really all known planets are represented :D Guess I got really excited about it because even she did not know about it. And back then my teacher was omniscient for me. It was also really interesting to learn the little which was known about Sedna, so interesting in fact that I started to love doing presentations alltogether. I made a lot of presentations in elementary school, some were seriously large, I think my longest talk took over 90 minutes then, about the roman empire. That one I presented three times, because my teacher was so impressed (or, looking back, maybe I was a good way for her to have a break ^^), once to my class, once to the other three classes of my grade, and once to the visitors of the schools summer festival. Maybe that benefited my tutoring skills after all, even though I never aimed to be a tutor I have been doing it for the last 4 years now, first university students, now medical facitlity workers and software technicians. So the search for Planet Nine or at least Sedna has influenced my life quite a bit, too, even though I had absolutely nothing to do with it :D
I understand the science of why, but it still makes me laugh we can see objects at the furthest reaches of the known universe, but we can't find a planet in our own solar system.
Where are your car keys, remote, wallet, and for people who remember cordless land lines wheres the phone? Yet I can remember which box in my attic has which Xmas decorations when all of them say Xmas. We're weird.
There is a difference in methods. What we use to find exoplanets are telescopes in space watching hundreds of stars, at once, waiting to see if the light coming from them dims, meaning something passed between them and us. Different and easier then what was mentioned it the video as you have to know where to look to try and find it.

Back in my day we had 9 planets! We had *Pluto* and I never heard anyone complain! And from what I remember Planet X is nothing but trouble. The inhabitants want to borrow Godzilla (01) and Rodan (02) then they turn them around and use them against us.
@Gruggadubdub Good point. And in ancient times, the Sun and Moon were also considered planets but ironically NOT Earth. It is cool to see science in action, adding and subtracting when gains in information and knowledge are achieved.
@Gruggadubdub if you look at the definition laid out by the IAU, the same definition used to declassify Pluto, then you’ll realize how arbitrary it really is. What they used to declassify Pluto could also be used to declassify neptune and Jupiter as well. Neither of those gas giants completely cleared their orbit of other objects, so technically Jupiter and neptune should be considered dwarf planets too. The whole thing is pretty absurd
@Gruggadubdub simple they didnt want a 40 planet long list for the solar system which is where we'd be if all the keplar belt and asteroid belt dwarf planets were counted so they added a additional criteria to the definition so they could keep the list short. It was actually briefly debated when those Keplar belt objects started popping up that Ceres and the larger asteroids should be readded back into the planet list like they were orginally before they said nah and shot Pluto to keep the list short.
A couple of centuries worth of of jokes that were generated, just because Bode used the Greek name Uranus instead of sticking with the established theme and using the equivalent Roman god Caelus. It makes me wonder whether Bode actually knew what he was doing. After all, nobody outside England liked Herschel's proposed name of "Georgium Sidus". So maybe Bode deliberately proposed a name that would sound perfectly normal for most Europeans but not to the English.
I totally did a research paper on "Nemesis Theory in the Periodicity of Mass Extinctions on Earth" (or similar title) in high school! It was 1987 and the theory blew my impressionable teenage mind.
You can really tell Simon is very much interested in this subject. There is a slight "uppity" in the way he narrates this video. Very engaging indeed :-)
So, Planet X is like looking for a specific thing in the garage that you never unpacked after moving house. You're not entirely sure it's there, but you found a while pile of useful things while searching for it. Although you're sure you packed it, and remember putting it in a box, but you never saw it come out of one. Maybe the removal men broke it and hid the evidence, maybe it got broken ages ago and you forgot? But here's that 10mm socket you lost.
So, we can detect exoplanets from thousands of light years away, black holes from millions and billions light years away but CANT SEE our backyards. SOMETHING FISHY I SMELL.
It’s likely that the theory of gravity isn’t completely understood and the bit we don’t know would explain why planet 9 is proposed just as before Einstein’s theory of relativity there was a proposed planet inside the orbit of Mercury which was even named Vulcan.
Most of the time you hear it from someone looking for their golden ticket to reject any science that contradicts their preconceived narratives because poisoning-the-well fallacies are fun.
Where does the New York Times come into this? Planet Vulcan was one hypothesis to explain the excess precession of Mercury's perihelion. General Relativity was another, later hypothesis.
I wonder if they are taking into account the gravity produced on a collective scale, the Oort Cloud alone likely has gravity. Then add all the planets and Sun, maybe this is why Sedna returns.
That's a good point. The Oort cloud is massive, with billions of rocks generating their own gravitational value. Combined, that's a staggering amount of mass rotating around the outer solar system.
I remember seeing a documentary a LONG TIME AGO WHEN I WAS A KID, that described a planet almost exactly like earth, dangerously close to our orbital path, and unfortunately earth and that planet crashed. It described that the ruble for the planet either combined with earth or helped create the moon. And I don’t know how accurate this was, I remember seeing it when I was still in elementary school.
It is believed, mostly proven, that a mars sized planet did smack into earth around 4 billion years ago and created the moon and gave the earth a larger core.
That’s probably what happened, the newly formed Earth collided with another planetoid and the ejection formed into the moon, billions and billions of years ago.
Considering they've discovered so many new moons relatively close to us, is it really that odd that there is another planet? There are tribes that are very old that knew about the outer planets before we did, and they tell of another planet with an enormous orbit around the sun, that is also not in the same plain as the other planets, so, who knows???
I don't believe the asteroid belt likely ever was mostly collected as a planet although there were perhaps larger pieces than at the present. It is located in an area where Jupiter's influence disrupts assembly.
16:58 “our sun stole it”. Rogue planets are super fun to think about. Planets formed around one star that for whatever reason were launched out of orbit, could be that Sedna was either taken by our sun or adopted by our sun. Path got close enough to be caught by our suns gravity that it’s basically in the middle of a slingshot and since that orbit is so far out that we have it’s estimate around 11,400 years. There are countless people out there much smarter than me that probably already thought about this but I’m not going to stop bringing this up, at the end of the day, we simply don’t know.

Sometimes, Simon, you get a subject where you and your team are all "top shelf" in production and presentation. The idea of the value in a search (based on best, or at least reasonable, information of its time) for what may well be not there I believe to be one of our better human traits. Well done!

Excellent, I had vaguely wondered about the relationship between Planet X and Planet 9.
This reminds me philosophically of the things we discovered looking for The Northwest Passage.
That is a great comparison. And so many things discovered along the way!
The engineering required to enable the Vera C Rubin observatory to operate (without interference) is astonishing. It's well worth looking up a video on the techniques involved.
The only way we’d ever see a black hole that tiny is if we accidentally fly too close to it one time, and it soeghettifies the ship
16:19 OK, now I need giant space rhinoceroses to be a *thing*
I really like the idea of a tiny black hole just chilling around us lmao
That will also be a hazard for space travel, it's not easy to detect and 2nd: it messes with star charts, sure you wont get sucked in but you might get lost instead with poor navigation
That possibility has been already theorized. However issue is based on the gravitational calculations Astrophysicists have come up with for the Planet X or Object X , this black hole can’t be more than the size of a baseball…
It would make sense; a tiny little thing still strong enough to throw space rocks around
"Plan 9 from outer space" Hey Simon how bout a bio on Ed Wood.
Seconded!
And Coleman Francis after him lol
Do a Megaprojects on Plan 9!
Great idea!
The most interesting part of this whole video for me personally was learning about Sedna
Nice work! While watching videos about our solar system, I think about the project I did in grade 7 about Jupiter. That was in 1979. I expect that it isn't quite as accurate as I thought it was back then.
"ALIENS FROM...."
"Don't say it B-Man."
"URANUS!"
"Real mature Bradley!"
"Really? Shepard?"
"*sigh* probing Uranus"
I think we need a naming convention to prevent astronomy geeks from giving newly discovered astronomical bodies names that don't reflect well on the scientific community.
With species being named after celebrities, Pokemon, and Marvel characters; and fundamental particle names threatening to get sillier, I think a general convention on respecting the dignity of science is urgently needed!
I'd totally name it New Asshole.
In elementary school I hold a presentation about Sedna. Our teacher back then made 9 groups in the class (I think it was 2004), each of which should make a presentation about one of our planets in the solar system. I do not remember which group I was originally assigned to, but I remember that I googled a little bit around and learned about Sedna being named the tenth planet. So I asked my teacher to do an presentation about that one instead, so that really all known planets are represented :D Guess I got really excited about it because even she did not know about it. And back then my teacher was omniscient for me. It was also really interesting to learn the little which was known about Sedna, so interesting in fact that I started to love doing presentations alltogether. I made a lot of presentations in elementary school, some were seriously large, I think my longest talk took over 90 minutes then, about the roman empire. That one I presented three times, because my teacher was so impressed (or, looking back, maybe I was a good way for her to have a break ^^), once to my class, once to the other three classes of my grade, and once to the visitors of the schools summer festival. Maybe that benefited my tutoring skills after all, even though I never aimed to be a tutor I have been doing it for the last 4 years now, first university students, now medical facitlity workers and software technicians.
So the search for Planet Nine or at least Sedna has influenced my life quite a bit, too, even though I had absolutely nothing to do with it :D
I love astronomy. Thanks for this!
"... looks like Uranus..."
I'm sorry, I just can't help myself!
😂😂😂
Well looks like I'm not getting any work done for the next 22 min. Thanks Simon.
17:40 A 4th option. It was created right where it sits.
I understand the science of why, but it still makes me laugh we can see objects at the furthest reaches of the known universe, but we can't find a planet in our own solar system.
It changes everything when you know where to point your telescope.
Haha gravity anomaly go brrrrrrr.....
Light
Where are your car keys, remote, wallet, and for people who remember cordless land lines wheres the phone?
Yet I can remember which box in my attic has which Xmas decorations when all of them say Xmas. We're weird.
There is a difference in methods. What we use to find exoplanets are telescopes in space watching hundreds of stars, at once, waiting to see if the light coming from them dims, meaning something passed between them and us. Different and easier then what was mentioned it the video as you have to know where to look to try and find it.
This is my favorite Geographics yet. Thank you!
Great having Flagstaff finally called out in a video.
Another video with Simon = another good day! Thank you sir!
This is by far the best Geographics video I have watched. More topics like this please.
What a time it is for science geeks like me to be alive.
It's amazing to be alive at all during the time of covid
13:30 they can vote how they like, but Pluto is still a planet to me.
Then does that mean other dwarf planets are also planets for you then?
@@kingdart999 yeah sure. The more the merrier.
I cant even comprehend how thick that beard is. Im a bearded man in my early 30's and hoping to the gene gods that it will get that thick. It's majestic, mr Whistler.
I'm 43, at your age you should see every hair follical developed or pertruding .But Then again , every body is different
Try to not to shave for longer period. Every time i dont shave for like a month my hair get thicker and thicker.
If it makes you feel any better his lighting set up makes it look considerably thicker though I can't deny his good genetics
@@Mr.Cerera69 I'm a slow grower- Im currently at around 40mm lenght. It takes me months to get where I am today. But I also have a lighter tone to my beard. I decided in June that I wont touch it in a good while, like december so we'll see where this road goes. I have had longer before, but never thick like this madlad. My coworkers think it's thick enough but they have no idea what I'm comparing to lol I mean, just look at it!
Simon should move all of his pre-beard videos to their own channel lol
Back in my day we had 9 planets! We had *Pluto* and I never heard anyone complain!
And from what I remember Planet X is nothing but trouble. The inhabitants want to borrow Godzilla (01) and Rodan (02) then they turn them around and use them against us.
He believed in martians, and I’m here to prove he was right. All though we’re red not green/grey like you think.
I told people that and nobody believed me
I saw the 1st Mariner 6 images.
Absolutely one of my most favorite videos to date. Damn Simon. You hit it out of the park with this one!
17:37 Yes, I will not be sleeping tonight.
well… Twitter can’t cancel it…
I really want a blackhole in the solar system :')
Simon Whistler must be Square Space highest paid "employee"
Fun fact: Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, and Hygiea were also once classified as planets.
@Gruggadubdub Good point. And in ancient times, the Sun and Moon were also considered planets but ironically NOT Earth. It is cool to see science in action, adding and subtracting when gains in information and knowledge are achieved.
@Gruggadubdub Well, I think the new term is "Little people planets" now, but yeah, I like where you are going with that ;)
@Gruggadubdub if you look at the definition laid out by the IAU, the same definition used to declassify Pluto, then you’ll realize how arbitrary it really is. What they used to declassify Pluto could also be used to declassify neptune and Jupiter as well. Neither of those gas giants completely cleared their orbit of other objects, so technically Jupiter and neptune should be considered dwarf planets too. The whole thing is pretty absurd
@Gruggadubdub because scientists enjoy ruining people childhoods. "my very educated mother just severed us nine ___" We have no more pies 😢
@Gruggadubdub simple they didnt want a 40 planet long list for the solar system which is where we'd be if all the keplar belt and asteroid belt dwarf planets were counted so they added a additional criteria to the definition so they could keep the list short.
It was actually briefly debated when those Keplar belt objects started popping up that Ceres and the larger asteroids should be readded back into the planet list like they were orginally before they said nah and shot Pluto to keep the list short.
.. And that missing ninth planet is named Pluto. And it still remembers being Planet 9 and is bitter about being reclassified as a dwarf planet.
Percival Lowell’s last name rhymes with the word “roll”
Glad I'm not the only one that noticed that!
It also kinda rhymes with LOL
Planet 9 is the rogue planet that creates its own dark matter that also creates mini black holes
when he said Uranus, I had to turn on Closed Captioning, just to see.
I once met Clyde Tombaugh! He gave a talk many years ago at our local science museum.
"where are we going?" "Planet 10!" "When are we going?" "Real soon!"
I love that movie!
“A hidden planet beyond Uranus”
This had me dying
A couple of centuries worth of of jokes that were generated, just because Bode used the Greek name Uranus instead of sticking with the established theme and using the equivalent Roman god Caelus.
It makes me wonder whether Bode actually knew what he was doing. After all, nobody outside England liked Herschel's proposed name of "Georgium Sidus". So maybe Bode deliberately proposed a name that would sound perfectly normal for most Europeans but not to the English.
I totally did a research paper on "Nemesis Theory in the Periodicity of Mass Extinctions on Earth" (or similar title) in high school! It was 1987 and the theory blew my impressionable teenage mind.
I didn’t know Simon had this channel, too! Lol I can’t keep count anymore
I randomly decided to search this just now and saw you uploaded 11 hours ago. Thank you my psychic intellectual teacher
HEY GEOGRAPHICS, thanks for the amazing content I've learned many things from you! Thanks
These videos are better than most college courses!
You can really tell Simon is very much interested in this subject. There is a slight "uppity" in the way he narrates this video. Very engaging indeed :-)
There is no missing 9th planet cause Pluto never left! 😭 Viva la Pluto!
Bold accusation to assume the Sun stole an imaginary planet. 17:00
dont worry - the court case is scheduled for 3 billion years from now... justice will be served!
i truly wonder how is it possible someone may dislike such educational videos XD .
Probably a flat-earther lol
So, Planet X is like looking for a specific thing in the garage that you never unpacked after moving house.
You're not entirely sure it's there, but you found a while pile of useful things while searching for it. Although you're sure you packed it, and remember putting it in a box, but you never saw it come out of one. Maybe the removal men broke it and hid the evidence, maybe it got broken ages ago and you forgot? But here's that 10mm socket you lost.
Maybe the real Planet Nine are the friends we made along the way.
So, we can detect exoplanets from thousands of light years away, black holes from millions and billions light years away but CANT SEE our backyards. SOMETHING FISHY I SMELL.
... It's the shirt...oh now I'm really paying attention... Have a good day everyone
It’s likely that the theory of gravity isn’t completely understood and the bit we don’t know would explain why planet 9 is proposed just as before Einstein’s theory of relativity there was a proposed planet inside the orbit of Mercury which was even named Vulcan.
3:40 New York Times: The science is settled.
Now where have I heard that before?
Any time they want to use science to centralize power
Most of the time you hear it from someone looking for their golden ticket to reject any science that contradicts their preconceived narratives because poisoning-the-well fallacies are fun.
Where does the New York Times come into this? Planet Vulcan was one hypothesis to explain the excess precession of Mercury's perihelion. General Relativity was another, later hypothesis.
15:56 that's a recognizable Rhino
Summer! The perfect time to lay on the beach.... Or break your collar bone while mountain biking!
You've done that haven't you?
Planet X would have been a more accurate name if Pluto hadn’t been demoted. Good video.. ⭐️
I guess they discovered Uranus wasn't the end of the solar system.
Nope. And when they find the 9th planet, they should name it Urpoop.
I wonder if they are taking into account the gravity produced on a collective scale, the Oort Cloud alone likely has gravity. Then add all the planets and Sun, maybe this is why Sedna returns.
That's a good point. The Oort cloud is massive, with billions of rocks generating their own gravitational value. Combined, that's a staggering amount of mass rotating around the outer solar system.
Dislike in the first 5 minutes? Who did you hurt? Lol
They hurt Pluto haha. Pluto did it
I remember seeing a documentary a LONG TIME AGO WHEN I WAS A KID, that described a planet almost exactly like earth, dangerously close to our orbital path, and unfortunately earth and that planet crashed. It described that the ruble for the planet either combined with earth or helped create the moon. And I don’t know how accurate this was, I remember seeing it when I was still in elementary school.
It is believed, mostly proven, that a mars sized planet did smack into earth around 4 billion years ago and created the moon and gave the earth a larger core.
That’s probably what happened, the newly formed Earth collided with another planetoid and the ejection formed into the moon, billions and billions of years ago.
Considering they've discovered so many new moons relatively close to us, is it really that odd that there is another planet?
There are tribes that are very old that knew about the outer planets before we did, and they tell of another planet with
an enormous orbit around the sun, that is also not in the same plain as the other planets, so, who knows???
Seriously doubt tribes would know about the outer planets
Far out? Far far out? I can't wait for the planet to be discovered and have it be called "Super big weird spinny boi."
You should do how the asteroid belt used to be a planet.
I don't believe the asteroid belt likely ever was mostly collected as a planet although there were perhaps larger pieces than at the present. It is located in an area where Jupiter's influence disrupts assembly.
There's not enough mass
16:58 “our sun stole it”. Rogue planets are super fun to think about. Planets formed around one star that for whatever reason were launched out of orbit, could be that Sedna was either taken by our sun or adopted by our sun. Path got close enough to be caught by our suns gravity that it’s basically in the middle of a slingshot and since that orbit is so far out that we have it’s estimate around 11,400 years. There are countless people out there much smarter than me that probably already thought about this but I’m not going to stop bringing this up, at the end of the day, we simply don’t know.
We all need a little Georgium Sidus
