I think the most fascinating part of this mission is just how far away Pluto is. They launched this thing on a rocket so fast that it reached the moon’s orbit in 9 hours, Jupiter in about a year, and it STILL took 9 years to get there!
I can't express my excitement over New Horizons later stages. As a boy who cut his teeth on reports from the Mariner missions, every step in the exploration of the Sol system has captured my imagination. Even as a child I knew we'd never have the biggest answers of extra-solar life, but the promise in the discovery of earthlike planets around other stars has been the crowning thrill of a lifetime.
Our current definition of what constitutes a planet is too small for what we will find in this galaxy....specifically, the IAU's 2006 rather arbitrary determination that a planet needs to clear its orbit of other bodies will, in time, prove itself dunsel in the face of discoveries in extrasolar systems. It's a short-time fad...a semantic glich. It will not stand any broad test of time.
Pluto isn't defined as a planet at this moment, but it has been for far longer than it hasn't. It will be again within the lifetimes of some reading this.
I also heard that it took into jupiters orbit and took 4 years off the destination time then took neptunes orbit and knocked 7 years off, the whole landing was actually set to land in 2026-2027 but luckily it did what it did and knock 11 years off it’s track. It’s crazy too. If you really think about it when we look through a telescope to a planet in a whole other solar system, when your looking at it, it could possibly be from millions to billions of years ago. In other words if a alien was looking into a telescope at our planet right now, they would be seeing the dinosaurs not us! It’s really cool to actually think about!
@@RavxnTV This is crazy information - blew my mind that they used other planet's orbits to help it move. The concept of orbits are just so crazy to my little mind, but im glad it's there to exist and help us make some sense of these vastness we're in.
they also sling shot the satellite to the planet
Pluto is Geologically active with an Atmosphere and multiple moons, I think it should be reinstated as a Planet. Period.
Legit. The fact that it has any sign of geological activity is huge. Should for sure be a planet again.
Periodt. UwU
I agree and many scientists still call pluto a planet.
Plus in the category of "Dwarf Planet" Pluto is the only one of it's kind. No others are even close to being as awesome as Pluto. Poor Kid, those nasty Euro's had to take it down a peg! (half-joking).
It's more planet than some of the gas giants. At least one would be able to land on pluto, enjoy the terrain, look up at the moon, visit a volcano and go visit some glaciers. Can you do that on Jupiter or Saturn? I dont think so...
Those series remind me of the old good Discovery Channel, that marked me a lot on my childhood. Now is all about naked people on TV and other weird things. What a decadence.
Are you curious about things??? when NASA showed Mars pics, I found tons of stuff, people, animals apartments, homes. First pic of Mars Pyramid,can still be seen on google, just to the left of the pyramid, were 3 vehicles!!! about a 4.8 Ford,m a van and I think a pickup...not many found them!!!! Oh Yeah, Giants!! 100 foot and 200 foot, I have about 1000 pics!!! On the tops of most tall mountains where they went to escape the flood!!! Enjoy life!!!!

@@richard-gn3es fair enough
This is a wonderful, breathtaking, heartrending discovery! I'm grateful to all contributors especially the people who made this luxurious exploration possible. Can't wait for more decades to see more about Pluto and more.
It’s about to be 2020, I wanna see more images lol!
As New Heriozons took pictures as it went past Pluto, Why TF would they make a hoax, they use CGI to show how it traveled. the probe cannot take video or pictures of itself
@Free Speech cgi does not mean fake lol.
@Free Speech yeah ?? Every other thing isn't flat ,like moon sun etc ,but our earth is flat and flying around like a fuckin frisbee.
@Free Speech you're a fucking idiot.
Yah!!!! we looking for evidence!!! something built, animal, tower...any little thing!! When we got the pic of a pyramid on Mars, just to the left of it were 3 vehicles!! 1940's models!! can go to google, put in Mars Pyramid, and still see them!!! I found tons of stuff on Mars!!!
I'm crying. Literally. These space exploration documentary will strengthen my desire to work at NASA. I guess I need to study hard more than anyone to achieved this goal. Thank you people behind these explorations. You've done so well, so great!
What kind of study one needs to do to be part of nasa?
I cried when I saw the very first images of Pluto. I had always wished to live long enough to see it. My father however, never lived long enough to see it. He died 5 years before the first images from New Horizons. He was aware of the mission though.
❤️❤️
Can just imagine how cold they went in with fear ...and then 4hrs to rewrite the program ....if that is not a nobel prize achievement
No, it's not a nobel prize achievement. It's just a backup of the commands re-uploaded to the computer. Simple as that.
@@Chouf-TV there still should have been some work involved such as rewriting or simplifying some command in order to not cause the computer to reset again
They are the modern day Geniuses. Thank you for showing us the beauty of Pluto. 🙏🏻
Pluto ..... is back.. and cooler than ever!

Your Pluto looks like the Pluto in the cartoons. Shame of all you.. we have a firmament. JESUS MADE IT. HOW THEY WENT OUT OF EARTH. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤢🤮
Imagine there’s a whole civilization under the surface of Pluto
I as an ignorant layman....I am fascinated by anything pertaining to space exploration and science....it satisfies my curiosity in "what is out there and are we alone! .
Did you see the Mars Pyramid, can see at google, just to the left of the pyramid were 3 cars!!!! a 40's model coupe, a van and I thing a pickup...it partially hidden...am I the only one who looked beyond the pyramid??? sure seems like it!!!
These guys are genius real explorers,contributers to mankind
I too was a Pluto obsessive as a kid and watching this video - for the first time I must confess - make me envious of this team of amazing humans. Thank god for Alan Stern. This story would make a tremendous movie too with artistic licence to make the mission a manned mission. Pluto is a fascinating celestial body - as indeed the entire solar system and beyond is. But its' OURS..........thanks for this upload guys.
"Pluto is a planet."
- Jerry Smith -
pluto is a dwarf planet
@@marcogaelhernandez9484 its not a planet, it's a rock not just a rock, a cold rock
Apple Daily it is now, it’s in our orbit, so now we have to consider it one
@@starlifter3387 it was a joke , but Pluto is like a light year away, and it's orbit is 1 year to get around the sun, and you will be frozen if you go on it, and it's very small
Deez Nuts not a light year but 0.000628 light years away from the Sun, the proper term is astronomical units (AU)which is smaller than a lightyear. Pluto is 39.5 AU 29.7 AU at its closest to the Sun (no offense) just correcting you.
cant help to say that : what a genuinely bright bunch of people - the deserve all this happiness.
I like the fact that everywhere we go, we have to rethink what we know.
but you show women walking around naked?
DCODE surely knows how to tell a story. This had me sitting on the edge of my seat! I'm so glad that this video exists!

That big heart on Pluto is what is so astonishing.
I love Pluto! It's a fascinating planet. I don't want to tell Pluto is a dwarf planet. Never! A lot of thanks to all of them for visiting to Pluto!
There is no words to describe how amazing is the discover of Pluto and the solar sistem itself! Every body who worked hard in all of those missions should give themselves a pat in the shoulder cause they deserve it. Another amazing discovery that I can’t believe is that Pluto has an atmosphere! Can you imagine that, we were wrong all along, Pluto HAS an atmosphere it may not sound like much but wow! Just wow!!! 🙌
Solar system up to Saturn was known for long time as those planets are visible in naked eye, and they named after roman gods as romans are one who named them. Only problem was what orbits what.
What mesmerises me is there ability to go there and explain what they see through there eyes.
Pluto: hey i exist! Could you add me to your solar system again?
Pluto has always and will continue to be my favorite Planet. I thought it would look blue but on the Surface it's red and has blue skies that's Amazing. It really is a Beautiful Planet. Wish I can visit it before I die lol
I am so delighted to see the real Pluto's surface.
These guys are submitting new codes to new horizon at Pluto and I can't even get WiFi in my room lol
Same its crazy when I think about it
It’s so epic to imagine what else exists out there in the universe
can't imagine how they can program all of those codes that made New Horizons keep moving and discovering for almost 10 years
Can't wait until you here about the voyager probes from the 70's
Wawa Hamdan - Most of those ten years it was just coasting along doing nothing.

This has to be the coolest bonus achievement ever :)
Amazed how they did the launch of new horizons in year 2006 and in same year declared pluto as no longer a planet!

I love Dr. Weaver’s energy. You can feel his passion & excitement talking about this subject.
God damn! I had forgotten all about flat earthers until I scrolled down to the comment section of this video.
What's truly exciting is Pluto has a blue atmosphere, and it is active, there is heat coming from it's core!!
Love space, love nature
“pluto mafia” 😂😂💀
How dear you?!
I did a random search for "How long does it take to get to Pluto?", after watching videos about Mars. Congrats New Horizons team. 😊
1:42 Dr Ralph McNutt, coolest name ever!
says the dude named schmuck
He must nutt a lot 🤣
What a fascinating planet! Surely its mysteries should be probed further.
I got extremely lucky that I got to see this launch. To this day its the only rocket launch I have ever seen. I can remember that week the launch was scrubbed twice. It was not our intention to see it launch. I was 13 at Disney World throwing a fit because I didn't want to go into a shop (I was tired from the heat and walking all day), so my parents left my stubborn ass on a bench just outside the shop and I passed out on it. An older lady woke me up saying "that rocket is launching you need to see it". I wish I knew her name so I could thank her today if she is still alive because at that moment I knew thats what I wanted to do! I got lost along the way but now two years at a community college (one more to go for graduation) I'm going to be transferring to attempt to become an aerospace engineer!
You WILL become an aerospace engineer.
Focus on your dreams. One day you'll see it in real time
I can't conceive of how brilliant these people are! It really is rocket science.
I remember waiting for New Horizons to get to the Pluto system. It was so exciting waiting for the trickles of data to be released.
These people are real genius kudos to the entire team
Out of all the stories I have seen ab planet exploration, this was one that grabbed my attention and made me feel passionate ab ❤️
I took lots of pics, so I can search for towers, animals, human's vehicles!! Found tons of stuff on Mars pics even though NASA painted a lot out!!! Remember the Mars Pyramid? I found 3 vehicles just to the left of it!!! can still see in google with Mars Pyramid!!!
Mars pyramid
Thank you for your contributions to humanity
I about died watching this!!! Amazing!!
I love the narration _like a prelude of the ultimate frontier should sound_ intense and deep _ dangerous and dark_with a glimpse of light and hope _love it !
Maybe we can finally call Pluto a real planet again.
It should be
We’ll see if they revise the definition but right now it’s considered a dwarf planet since it hasn’t “cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit” (it doesn’t dominate its region of space)
@@livinthemind86 that’s still a stupid rule.

Gotta love the Mass Effect 3 background music.
So captivating! 🌌🌍🪐💫
My best documentary! Revisited it a couple of times!
Do you know why New Horizons takes the form of a yellow triangular prism, with a short RTG and a shield-like antenna?
"The lighter, the faster."
A triangle has the least area of all polygons, for it is the simplest form of polygons. No diagonals. Lesser area, lesser mass.
The yellow wrap surrounding the craft is a thermal blanket, which is used to insulate the craft from the freezing cold of deep space.
A short RTG is present because the probe's initial objective is exploration of the Kuiper belt, and Pluto. It is not designed for interplanetary or interstellar activities, like the Voyagers.
The antenna is shield-like so that data can easily be found on a very small space probe the size of a grand piano.
The little circle on the other face of the prism is a connector to the rocket. It is the only instrument used for contact between the probe and the launch vehicle.
----
These are the major parts of the spacecraft. The instruments are small, some the size of a phone.
No but Brad castleberry has a great Theory
A wild flat earther appeared.
@bogen broom, you being an idiot is not fake at all...Genuine, you are.
It’s so nice - been seeing the same faces from older documentaries about Pluto years before even before New Horizons even came near Pluto.😋
Everyone say It's Impossible but Impossible itself say I am possible...
Don't be regretted...
Never give up .....
Love you NASA
I still remember back in 2006 when I was fascinated by planet Pluto but never could find a very clear image of it
Crazy not calling Pluto a planet!
cause they are retards
@Yo Mama No lol that is a definition we created and we have been wrong multiple times before aka redefining galaxies with the super black hole in the center of it. If a non-symmetrical object with gravity strong enough to support dwarf planets has a clear orbit around the sun is that non-symmetrical object considered a planet? No because by "our definition" it has to be perfectly symmetrical. Alot of loop holes in these theories.
If it were still to be called a "planet", we'd have to include a metric crap ton of others. Therefor, it remains a dwarf planet.
@@johannndsouza - They aren't "theories". They are "definitions".
It’s not. That’s all fake propaganda. “Pluto” is just a luminary in the sky not a solid sphere not millions of miles away and never been close too
I wonder how humans made to this point from the way we were back before. This video was just stunning. I feel my own pride. My planet. I love science!
Awesome!!! Just awesome! What incredibly determined people! Very inspiring video, thank you to all involved!
Old video of when we still thought pluto was a planet. Damn you Neil ! You did this !
What a splendid documentary. I'm glad I lived in the era that first explored Pluto.
I am truly amazed to these people.
E.L.F • L.O.Λ.E great actors or just plum dumb
Wooooooooooooow .... just amazing...
How amazing that Pluto has a ❤️..
Having a relatively close and large moon such as Charon could generate tidal forces, which could create some melt water and release gasses from its interior. Small trickles of water from deep within its warmer interior would collect and release bubbles of gas. These would force their way between cracks and trickle out or be released as geysers onto Pluto's surface.
Pluto and Charon are in orbitally fixed position, so Charon cannot generate tidal forces
bloodnovski You mean they're both tidal locked - that Pluto isn,t spinning individually of Charons orbital lock ? I know our moon generates tidal forces on earth and the earth rotates separately from our moons tidal locked side. Perhaps it's that Pluto has another close moon - if that one orbited differently to pluto and Charon, maybe that would generate some tidal forces just enough to disturb Pluto's interior to create some venting. Otherwise, maybe Pluto's system is relatively young and is still cooling internally.
True...if Charon and Pluto rotated seperately, their would be even more volcanos on the surface. I think Charon needs slowed down a little and collide with pluto. Make for a nice sized outpost world. Then we could move another dwarf planet into orbit around pluto within an appropriate time after the charon-Pluto collision would keep the core liquafied and engage it's magnetic field. We would still have to wrap the planet with some type of panels and/or wrap to hold in apmosphere and heat in. We could have a new world to colonize rite here in our solar system.
So why hasn't it happened yet
How did I not hear about any of this....? Oh that's right.. My local news is far more interested in reporting, day after day, about someone's hurt feelings.. or should we allow transgender athlete's to participate in local football matches. My blood boils... You know what Mr News Person.. How about this? What boggles my mind more then anything is that there are people this smart on this very planet, who where able to achieve so much, way back in the early 2000's let alone today. I miss real news
It's sheep, usually following influence into deception !
Gosh ! Heaven must really be something ! Compared to this crap, huh !
These things happen very, very infrequently. You need to be tuned into the right kind of news source. I agree though...I could stand to hear much more of this and less of some of the other "news".
Maybe if people in your local news area were kind and decent people, those news stories wouldn’t be getting in the way.

@Yo Mama if we switched places, the earth couldn't clear it's orbit. 🤷
@Yo Mama whether or not earth could be out there is not part of the definition of a planet. My comment (to me) demonstrates why the definition is idiotic. A defined planet couldn't be a planet if it swithched places with pluto.
