      Cómo saben que Gonggong es rojo si apenas cuando la sonda Horizons sobrevoló Plutón, supieron que éste tenía zonas rojas, si Gonggong está más lejos? Expliquen bien las cosas, seguramente es solo una suposición. Tan malo es noinformar como informar de forma incorrecta 😡😡😡

    Mainland Chinese here,introducing who GongGong was:
    The water god of China,a red hair snake body dude,son of firegod Zhurong.
    GongGong was a tyrant,he was not good at his own job which was controlling water,he always want to build barracade to stop water,which only made things worse.
    His greatest "achievement" was the destruction of BuZhou mountain,which was the mountain that held heaven in ancient time,GongGong once fought with Prince ZhuanXu for the domination of world,ZhuanXu won,and because of this,GongGong was infuriated,so to let out his rage,he smash his head into BuZhou mountain,he was a god so he was okay,but the mountain was not okay,it fell.
    With BuZhou Mountain fallen,huge flood swept across entire world,stars changed position,ground crumbled under people's feet,and today's landscape was formed,later,ZhuanXu Emperor was angered by GongGong's doing and punished him,a later famous emperor called Yao eventually banished GongGong to underground where he shall never escaped again,GongGong's snake children and servants,including XiangLiu(dwarf planet's moon) was all purged by emperors and people(a genocide done by human to snakemen),And emperor Yu said when he killed XiangLiu,its snake blood was foul and poison the soil.
    Emperor Yu,who was said to be a SiChuan Dude,finally dealt with the flood mess caused by GongGong by build canals and let water flow away into ocean(Yu:basically,when you meet a trouble,don't fight it when you lack the strength,you should use its own force and let it go away~),Yu later founded the First Dynasty in Chinese history about 20th century BC,called Xia.
    GongGong's story was interpreted by some scholars as the equivalent to "The Great Flood"story in ancient China,which was possibly the ancient memories from Younger Dryas Asteroid Impact.

      Great question! Gonggong is actually not a brand-new discovery. It was discovered in 2008, but it’s not as well-known as Haumea or Makemake. It's one of the more distant and mysterious objects in our solar system, which is probably why it doesn't get as much attention.

    • @InsaneCuriosity
      @InsaneCuriosity  2 місяці тому +1

      Great question! Ancient Chinese astronomers did have their own names for the planets, often based on traditional elements or characteristics. For example, Venus was called 'Tai Bai' which means something like 'Great White'. Unlike in Western culture, they didn’t name planets after gods but used descriptions. Today, in China, people mostly use the international names like Mars, Venus, and Neptune, but they’re written in Chinese characters.

      Exploring places like Mercury and beyond Neptune definitely has its appeal. There’s a lot we still don’t know about the outer solar system, and getting closer to dwarf planets and the trans-Neptunian region would be amazing. Hopefully, NASA and other space agencies will start focusing more on those areas soon, and we’ll get to see some awesome images in our lifetime! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

    my god it has been 5 min and you can only repeat these bullet points over and over again: "its a world a fraction the size of the moon, its distant, has an orbit of x years, its icy, its red and has a moon". being considerate, that's only 20 seconds of information at most. its unbearable to hear you say nothing. what a way to stretch a line of information over a 13 min video. the fact these channels have over 500k subscribers baffles me. literally for people with the attention span of an ant.

    This is the most repetitive video I have ever seen. You basically said "Hey guys did you know there is a dwarf planet called Gonggong?!" like 17 times and told us nothing else about it. Useless video.

    Low effort junk channel, written with AI. Too much overly repetitive filler material in the scripts.

    4 minutes of information and the rest is just pointless repetition and hot air.

      There are many chinese people , over 1 billion. If you make a poll, it makes sense that they will win.

      The name 'Gonggong' comes from Chinese mythology. It's named after a water god, so it reflects cultural significance.

      All others are based on non Chinese names so why not? No harm is it... 😂

      @jacoblahr the people that found the dwarf planet held a poll. Gong Gong won that poll kinda like Boaty McBoatface won that poll to name a ship. Which they promptly changed the rules on, but that's a different story.

      I get that space missions can seem expensive, but exploring places like Gonggong helps us learn more about our universe.
