Since New Horizons flew by Pluto on July 14, 2015, it's completely redefined what we know about the dwarf planet and its largest moon Charon. New Horizons' mission will continue to be full of surprises, but here's what we've learned so far

I can't wait for Europa
***** I know, I'm so excited!
***** We need to be able to drill through that ice though, and preferably in several places (in case the first place is a bust)... It will be tough but im sure some way can be found. Perhaps 2 different vehicles landing, one providing a drill, one providing the drill bits and rods?
NicosMind Using only one vehicle would be more efficient, as you only have the overhead (The Parts you need for both anyway) once.
correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there already a mission where a robot would land on Europa in 2018 and drill through the ice layer to see if there's life in the (presumably and likely) seas underneath
***** Agree! Ever since watching Europa Report that moon has been been rustling my science jimmies!
In my country, a lot of the locals say that the pluto pic was fake and that no one can survive a 10 year trip in space.
Apparently they don't know the difference between Spacecraft and Spaceship
*facepalm*
one does not simply fly into mordor
Ba dum dum PSSSH 🥁 😂
I wanted to make that joke XD
LOL 😂😂😂
One does not simply aero brake into Pluto.

You can't say Dwarf planet without saying planet.
Ba dum dum PSSSH 🥁 😂
haha :D :D
Dwarf Johnson
solution to the debate: "dwarf" is an adjective, merely mmeanin its too small to fully clear its path like most planets, but that doesnt mean its not one
You can't say jellyfish without saying fish
(Jellyfish isn't a fish btw)
We friggin' went to pluto. Think about it! See a "map" of our solar system that is to scale. You'll be amazed!
Map or artist imagination
Gary C yet we still have people thinking earth is flat 🤦🏻♀️
The map would be really big or the planets are microscopic specks
My brain may say Pluto is a dwarf planet, but my heart will forever say it's the ninth planet :)
+Andrew Rendon ;)
Same.
(btw, τ is better.)
well your heart is dumb
Andrew Rendon a
You're right; if we do make Pluto a planet, we gotta name the thousand other dwarfs as planets too.
Same
I love the names for all the new features on Pluto, basically a collection of every Sci-Fi material of the last 30 years.
BUT PLUTO IS A PLANET THOUGH!!!
lol jk Pluto went from being the smallest planet to the King of the Kuiper Belt thats pretty badass if you ask me
Sam Hanson but eris is bigger
There are multiple objects that are larger than pluto
Not a planet but a BALL Of DWARF HEaVY metal badss-sery
Thats what she said
@@Shadowschannel1 no new studies found out eris is smaller
Once again, great production values and hosting. I've been following this channel for a year now and it's astonishing how your presentation skills just keep on getting better and better.
Dude, I will nerdgasm so hard when they send a probe to Titan.
xHugoxN7 omg that is so awesome!!!!!
Cassini-Huygens 2009- Huygens landed on Titan.
Totally nerding right now
Charon is pronounced with a hard 'k', just like "cholera" (another word of greek origin), not like "Sharon". In English, "Kharon" is even a valid way to spell the name of the greek mythological character the moon is named after.
***** Actually, most astronomers pronounce it "Sha-ron". You're right that the mythological character is pronounced "kha-ron", but Jim Christy, the astronomer who discovered the moon in 1978 promised his wife Charlene he'd name it after her. But since it was IAU custom to stick with mythological names, they compromised and added the "Sha-" sound from Charlene to the mythological name… hence "Sha-ron" #themoreyouknow
allesoversterrenkunde.nl/#!/actueel/artikelen/_detail/gli/a-bump-in-the-night/
It's Okay To Be Smart Still sounds weird :P I like it with the hard K more... You should be careful, it might become an argument like with GIF and peanut butter :P
***** I am Greek,and I can tell you that hard k is bullshit. It is Xaros in Greek (literally meaning devil) where X is pronounced as an H in Hungary .
Lord Random Yes, that is the correct modern Greek pronunciation. You should know. However, in ancient Greek the letters theta, phi, and khi were not pronounced as in modern Greek. Instead, they were breathy, aspirated t, p, and k sounds respectively.
It's Okay To Be Smart cool, thanks for the in depth answer!
Other dwarf planets? yeah good luck with Sedna
I really hope that in my life time we actually make it to Sedna to take pictures that would be awesome
"Scienced all over that little planet". Nerds never fail to turn me on
Nerds or Speculators
I knew Steve from Blues Clues was right all along.
isnt blues clues that program of a blue dog?
Lol ya
ZzAuthorityzZ ZzauthorityzZ oh yeah now I remember it lol
@Brittany Henderson He taught the planets after pluto was discovered, but before it was classified as a dwarf planet.
kerbal space program confirmed 1:10
you know thats a game
right?
McGamer II9 Look at his profile pic and guess
DarkShiv Confirmed what?
Bux_ oh thanks
omg pluto's heart looks like pluto!
Vegeta Yes, very much so, if I didn't know better I'd think it looks like an insult to a gullible public.
Pluto's ♥️
+Vegeta OH. MY. GOSH.
thats why micky has a dog even though hes a mouse. (you have to agree: dogs are the best!)
Dayum Son eh. I prefer cats. Its just my opinion btw. You do you!
Planets are cute... stars as well... especialy when they have cute smilie faces on them... :3
>Macross
Good to see mecha love in NASA
Kyle H And even better, they didn't call it Robotech.
Wow I think it is really cool how you started the video by showing us how bright it gets on Pluto. I always imagined it as pitch black darkness all the time.. I suppose that is what it is like most of the time, but this really changes how I imagine Pluto be, not to mention the rest of the solar system.
KSP shout out!
1:10 true. Reaching lightspeed is easy there.
That's actually a lot more light than I would have expected...
0:14 Lol i find so funny how you put where you are and remak you are on earth, like you could be filming that anywhere else than Austin TX lol 😂😂😂
You mentioned Kerbal Space Program!!
one does not simply walk to morodor has never been more true
We should fly into Uranus
The Jungle King I would love Nasa to return to Uranus and Neptune for more detailed study...a fly-by isn't enough imo. The problem is money..money..money.
Ba dum dum PSSSH 🥁 😂
Already did. It wasnt as big as I expected but pretty dark and had a funny odor
Space always makes me excited! it's so awesome
I love your channel! Keep up the great work!
ThatOneGeckoGuy Seconded, but lose the Hank Green clone, or at least confiscate his fake glasses. They're so obnoxious those lame-o Rayban Wayfarer frames with clear plastic lenses in them. So fucking overdone.
BaSH PROMPT Thanks for stopping by and commenting! I'll forward you on to my optometrist so she can tell you exactly what prescription she put in my not-actually-fake glasses :)
+BaSH PROMPT you just got burnt worst than Mercury
Maya Adair psst, worse*
Shut up
3:30 Skywalker ,Organa And Vader creator aye i like it
Pluto's still a planet, damnit!
DWARF planet
+Luna Moonlight I DON'T CARE
PLUTO IS A PLANET
EpicCraft101 - MineTron69 👍☺
Luna Moonlight dwarf PLANET
New Horizons is on its way to a place called "2014 MU69". Before it was classified its original catalog name was "1110113Y" which is the basis for its nickname: "Eleven". Eleven is 30 to 45km in diameter, and will be 43.4 AU from the Sun when New Horizons arrives on December 31, 2018. Eleven is still a long way off, but New Horizons is moving very fast
We landed on a comet!
"as long as we are still listening" - brings me apocalyptic goosebumps.
dangit, ilove this channel! thank you so much
I love how fluid his body gets during the Disney jokes. 🙂
Pluto: Hi guys i have a heart!
Me (USSR): AWWWWWWWW! YOU LOOK SO CUTE!
Pluto: Weawy?
Me (USSR): Yes!
Pluto: im coming to give u a hug
Pluto and me (ussr): *hug*
Neptune: uR sO tIny HuMaN.
4:11 One does not simply walk into Mordor...unless one fly toward Charon, land near Mordor, and then walk into it.
"that's impossible even for a computer!" lol
The actual reason for why pluto is named pluto, is because the planet naming people couldn't agree on a name, so they let the public rain down suggestions in to a small box. One suggestion was from a girl. The first two letters of pluto, PL are standing for the man who origanly discovered
initials. And pluto (like he said) is pretty much the greek god for the devil. So know you know, coming from a 12 year old. (Sorry if i suck at spelling)
Kaguya-Hime Crater.
Someone really likes Touhou at NASA
commode7x I'ts not Touhou, Zun kind of just shat all over his cultural heritage when making that game.
Then again that's what Japans been doing to there culture for the past 40 years.
In a nutshell Kaguya-Hime is a space princess from a japanese legend.
Pluto has a cold heart. 🥶

Very cool - I had no idea there were so many "planet-like" objects in our solar system!
*IIIITS HIIIIIIGH NOOOON
FINALLY. I was looking for this reference here. Also, they might have demoted Pluto from large planet status but PLANETS NEVER DIE.
Pluto is definitely the most unique dwarf planet by far.
Pluto deserves to be considered a planet again
These videos keep getting better and better
So they found giant letters that say "it's ok to be smart"
0:46
Hey Joe, I would be just as psyched as you for a (new) Titan mission, but I think you discounted the Cassini-Huygens mission in your speech. It's tenth anniversary was this January and NASA even put out some infographics on the mission's progress.
Great video as always from you and the rest of the team on this channel (unless you somehow managed this all alone, which would be amazing)!
Any Scorpios out there.. LIKE IT UP! (:
My nephew was born on July 14, 2015! I really wanted to watch to see the live cameras from new horizons on Nat Geo that day, but my sister got In labor and i missed it :( ah, well at least I got to see my nephew after he was born! And I get to tell him about the historic day when he gets older!
Have you guys wondered if Plutos heart or Tombaugh Regio was broken after we began calling it a dearf????
*dwarf
Lucius Vorenus Yeah, Pluto is very sad and heartbroken. What is your picture of?
no
Lucius Vorenus dwarf lol
1:09 Hey I had KSP up and running! Plus I was thinking of going to escape velocity!
will new horizonts visit any other objects
Bosniantoptens It is going to continue flying deeper into the Kuiper belt. NASA has identified a few Kuiper Belt Objects that New Horizons will fly close enough to in order to study. Not as close as it flew by Pluto, but it can collect some data. As long as NASA continues to fund the mission (meaning that there will be people listening on the ground and ready to study the data), there's plenty more to come from the weird outer limits
It's Okay To Be Smart yay
+It's Okay To Be Smart hell yeah!
It's Okay To Be Smart So does that basically mean it's now just flying to wherever, and we won't know what's there until it arrives? I mean, if those were the actual images we had of Pluto before NH arrived, I'm kind of guessing we couldn't definitively point it anywhere past Pluto. I'm so curious though :-D You can't NOT want to know what's out there! We're not special, I want to know before I'm dead that there's civilization somewhere we might be able to reach someday.
Think so. Just like voyager and voyager 2. But they won't make it cuz they need to travel to another solar system before 2020 or they will run out of power so they won't make it its too far.
I would call the next dawf-planet Gimli. xD seriously those names are awsome.
there are space centaurs??!!?!?
We don't see Pluto as a real planet, but Pluto still loves us, it even made a heart for us!
One does not simply..
Santeri Miettinen I think this journey easily passes the threshold for getting out of 'simply'
Say hi
“This is Pluto a planet tha- “ ha I knew it Pluto is a planet
Your completely wrong about the Pluto's name origin. Its actually from the award winning blockbuster Pluto Nash
Ba dum dum PSSSH 🥁 😂
Speaking of KSP: I wish New Horizons had the same data-transfer-rate as my probes in that game. Can't wait until we get all the images from that thing!
Where to next? Mars. Manned. It's the obvious choice. Well.. that and a probe to Europa. We gotta drill that ice crust and see what's underneath. Space exploration definitely needs more funding.
We need humans to land on the stuff to count as visited😁
If that were the conditions for a planet to be visited... we haven't visited any planet in the solar system except our own .-.
This video was really awesome! Like every video made by you :)
You guys are mean to Pluto, it's just an itsy bitsy planet :c
That'd be pretty cool huh
Shit's true doe
+Alex Paysen
Did you just assume its planet type?
it's actually just a big-ass mostly worthless rock
Matt Majcan Thats just cruel.
I was in my science class and after cutting out tiny planets after glueing them on I drew Pluto on there with a frowny face and labeled it lonely pluto
You called Pluto a planet. :(
Lord Marcus It is a planet. A *dwarf* planet.
Ohhhhhhhhh lol
Science burn, bitch
Oh.
It's Okay To Be Smart 4:56 xD
My son was born in January of 2006 I'm proud of for this piano sized space craft
Heh, New Horizons.
Pluto is my favorite *_planet_*
We had to read a book about how Eris was "bigger then Pluto" right after I did MY WHOLE PRESENTATION ABOUT PLUTO THAT INCLUDED THAT PLUTO WAS BIGGER THEN ERIS, I was soo angry.
I honestly did not think it would be that bright on Pluto, even at high noon.
In my heart Pluto was, is, and always will be a planet
Heh, fitting that, considering how long it took to figure out features of Pluto, that we use contemporary sci-fi for "modern mythology" instead of stuff from Shakespeare (which is older and was used for Jupiter's moons, which were discovered centuries ago) or even classical Greek mythology for some of the first observable sights in the sky.
We should use Norse mythology. Planet Thor, Frigg, Tyr, or Odin.
They pre-programmed the satellite 10 years ahead of time for a small 100 second window in a small area? That's more than a little amazing.
Thanks a lot for all those very interesting pictures. Your channels is great as it increases my knowledge in many subjects.
3:15 you scared me editor love your work btw
I thought he was talking about animal crossing new horizons before I realized this was made in 2015-
Is that how it looks like at 8:37 pm in Austin, Texas? There's a lot of light!
I'm VERY impressed by the calculations to reach Pluto properly. How do they even do it?
+Daniel Åkesson
magic
I predict a tour (space) bus through the Kuiper Belt, complete with chemical laser cannons to clear the path.
Also, what are the implications of sunlight taking 9 hours to reach Pluto? No need for sunscreen? Solar power not so viable?
Charlie Bolden as NASA Administrator....... That's Brilliant!
1:08 I was playing KSP as I heard that lol
WHOA! I thought pluto was grey and boring...BUT IT'S BROWN, AND HAS A HEART THAT LOOKS LIKE A PLUTO FACE WHEN CERTAIN FEATURES ARE ADDED! XD
I personally would like it if we could make a mission that sends a camera object to the surface of pluto
I love Astronomy. It's so fascinating. My mind is constantly being blown away. And I like the name Makemake. It's fun to say. :P
"This is what noon looks like on Pluto"
There are trees on Pluto? I never would have guessed it, but you heard it here first.
:)
Brilliant! Thanks for "splaining" it!
I'm so happy Serenity was mentioned.... I miss Firefly.
It's not impossible.
I used to bullseye Womprats in my T-16 back home.
They're not much bigger than two meters!
Such a neat video! Thank you yet again!
Pluto is too fucking adorable make it a planet again
Hope new horizons still work in the future to visit new planets.
4:22 who noticed strange markings, like star markings, it kinda freaked me out, hoow did they get there?? because its siriously some kind of sign, maybe a starmap, or idk, something very advanced, please like so he can see, if he siriously did not see that, i think we discovered something... scary
Fantastic data indeed.
I still cant understand why Pluto is not considered to be a planet any more
"What about Trojans?"
We got our wish, good luck Lucy
I believe New Horizon will visit the Ort Cloud next.
Oh yeah cant wait man!
Hey I never knew there's this video and that it was launched one day after my birthday.
a simple curious question if you can kindly answer please.
Given scenario: lets say I'm standing on the ground with a ball in my hand, when I throw the ball about 6 inches up in the air, the ball falls back into my hand due to gravity (and angle)
now lets say I'm seated in a cart that is moving at the speed of 50 km per hour and I perform the same maneuver, by throwing the ball a few inches in the air (on a 90 degree angle) why doesn't the ball fall where it was first lifted, how does it travel 50 km in the air to fall back into my hand, should the ball not fall on the ground 50 km behind?
Pluto is a planet in my heart, I won’t listen to my brain. My brain is rude cuz it’s telling me that Pluto is a dwarf planet
Do a video on the fifth dimension which would be ghosts or entities that would be really interesting
