    I didn’t know that the Galileo probe sent data 180km into Jupiter’s atmosphere. I suppose that’s not very deep relative to the size of Jupiter, but quite deep from an Earth perspective.

    When I was little, watching people walk on the moon live on TV, I wanted to be an astronaut. I had an uncle who worked for a NASA contractor, working on projects for the space program. As the 1970s progressed, he actually worked on projects for what became the space shuttle - including the Manned Maneuvering Unit that was used for untethered spacewalks.
    Anyway, I studied everything I could get my hands on about the solar system. And the galaxy, and the universe. Black holes fascinated me after first hearing about them in a show at our local planetarium. More than anything else, though, I wanted to be able to visit Jupiter and gaze upon it out the window of a spaceship. I wanted to get as close as possible to it, seeing the clouds, storms, and moons. My relatives told me that it was entirely possible I could do that, predicting that humans would be visiting other planets by the 2000s-2010s.
    Turns out they were a little off about that. With all sorts of health problems, I’ll never be able to travel to space, and certainly never to Jupiter. Humans won’t get there in my lifetime, that’s for sure. Mars, possibly, but not further out in the solar system.
    Oh, well. I’ll have to settle for rewatching The Expanse…

      I also was obsessed with space and planets as a kid in the mid-2000s (I'm born in 1995), and I also remember hearing back then that there would be a manned Mars mission planned for 2020. I remember being excited, thinking about how I will watch the first humans landing on Mars as an adult, and hoping that later maybe space travel will become available for regular people. Now its 2024 and still no people on Mars.
      But atleast we got to see the first close-up pictures of Pluto in 2015 which is also quite amazing. And I hope with the Artemis program atleast they manage to bring people to the moon again in the next years.

    You have made the most compelling argument I’ve heard yet for keeping Pluto a planet. One question: would you qualify Ceres as a planet?

    • @JohnMichaelGodier
      @JohnMichaelGodier  4 місяці тому +18

      Yes. I think the most solid footing would be the potato limit. If an object directly orbits the sun, and it can pull itself roughly into a sphere, then it's a planet. That solves the Pluto problem, which is greater I think than the problem of calling Ceres an asteroid. Put Ceres anywhere else but the asteroid belt, and we'd have called it a planet. It initially was classified as a planet given it was discovered in 1801, long before Neptune, for over 50 years. If an object does not directly orbit the sun, instead orbiting a planet, then it's a moon. If it falls below the potato limit, it's a moonlet. Anything else is an asteroid, comet, or interstellar object. This preserves Pluto as a planet, and the Kuiper belt objects, but would show up as an issue for Deimos and Phobos. So maybe it's just better, if arbitrary, to not make a distinction for moons. That would be a main point of criticism though. Still better than fighting over Pluto though.

    • @JohnMichaelGodier
      @JohnMichaelGodier  4 місяці тому +16

      Also Ceres can use a boost anyway, given that it, like Pluto, has proven to be more interesting than we expected. As in a subsurface ocean candidate. That's not normal for an asteroid.

I guess you could count everything orbiting the sun a planet, and then have the subset of ones you teach kids. My solution is less scientific and more human in nature. “A planet is an object that orbits the sun which is massive enough for a human to walk on.”

    I could see Jupiter with my eye once.
    I had to check what it was on a starmap.
    You know sometimes when you stare at the moon for a long time and it starts to come into focus how far away it is and you get a sense of, well, something I don’t know how to say.
    That happened but it was Jupiter instead.
    It’s like instead of feeling like you’re only on this planet you realise that your in the middle of something else and it’s big like an ancient temple or when you look at the ocean.
    It’s hard to get that just by looking at the sky for 10 seconds. Spend longer and when you reorientate (you’ll know when) yourself you’ll see what I mean.
    It’s the best thing that’s free and no one can steal it or own it.

    Really enjoyed this video! And thank you so much for your digression on Pluto. I have long felt the same way. The exclusion of Pluto as a planet because it has not 'cleared it's orbital neighborhood' has always felt so artificial to me. I would count any object that is large enough to be round due to gravity but not large enough to undergo fusion as a planet. If that means there are hundreds of planets in our solar system, what of it? Thanks for another fantastic video! 😄

    Completely agree with your views on Pluto. It's reclassification was dubious, regardless if DeGrasse Tyson agrees with it or not.

  • @BrettonFerguson
    @BrettonFerguson 4 місяці тому +4

    So the solar system currently has 1.6 million known planets. When done scanning the sky we are expected to have 80 million planets. In 1986 I saw Haley's planet in the sky. Earth currently has more than 170 million moons. Jupiter has 50,000 known moons, with more getting trapped and some falling into the atmosphere everyday.
    Yeah I'm going to disagree on this one. It does matter if we end up with an unwieldy number. We need clear definitions and categories.

    • @JohnMichaelGodier
      @JohnMichaelGodier  4 місяці тому +3

      I'd go with the potato radius of 500 km. If it can pull itself into a sphere, and it directly orbits the sun, it should be a planet. Otherwise we make it counterintuitive and when teaching introductory science in grade schools, you don't have to launch into explaining the IAU's criteria to 8 year olds which is what's being done now. Yes, this promotes Ceres to a planet, but that's far less of a problem than explaining why Pluto is not. Astronomically speaking, it doesn't matter, because planet is a term of convenience we keep around for legacy reasons and understandability. If we want to get technical, we start saying ice giant, gas giant, terrestrial etc.

    Most rotating major bodies are oblate spheroids. Most tidally locked bodies such the moon, or mercury being tidally coupled with its orbiting period are scalene ellipsoids. Some fast rotating minor bodies that orbit close to sufficiently massive objects are prolate spheroids.

    I'm a big fan of Pluto. I hate the term "dwarf planet". I say we use the term "planetoid" instead. I think it's a great term for these sort-of-planets we keep discovering. And although the word already exists we don't currently use it for much of anything.
