  • NASA and the James Webb Telescope have discovered rings around a dwarf planet out beyond Neptune. The JWST has uncovered some odd characteristics of these rings. Something that's challenging our understanding of how ringed planets are formed and maintained.

      @@robbglow As much as I’d like to see original/actual photos compiled only, that’s not ever going to happen because creators want to keep people hooked and interested. Unfortunately, the only way to do that for most is to go 3D.
      Remember when the image of the black hole was released? While most of us was amazed by how it was captured, it bored and put others to sleep. I remember people actually being annoyed and asking “that’s it?” as if we hadn’t just seen the most amazing thing in our lifetime be captured and pieced together over months of hard work. They thought it would be like the movies - detailed images like we can get of the moon or videos with over the top 3D generated scenes. The latter did better with views than a video that only showed the actual image released, with many sharing it and acting like it was ~real~ …
      I’m sure that’s what this channel does, just like many other channels based on space anymore: views and clicks come first, the data and proof second. Just stretch the truth a bit and omit some key important details, and you get an instant viral clip.

Binoculars wouldn't help, neither would any optical instrument. Space is insanely vast and empty, maybe orders of magnitude beyond anything they depict in movies. Pluto, IIRC, wasn't even seen at first. I believe it was found by Kepler indirectly because its mass made Neptune's orbit slightly weirder than math predicted. It took a long time before we made a telescope that could spot it.
      Besides, there are lots of planets in our system most people don't even know exist. Like Sedna. Those were discovered years ago and we still find new ones. It's kind of awesome.

      Yes there's research already being done into how the orbit of the moon could be affecting it, but not in the way you think. It's not the disfigurement or the stability of the ring's orbit itself that's the issue. It's the fact it's twice as far as the planet's roche limit. At that distance the planet's tidal forces don't have the influence needed to keep the ring objects from accruing into a new moon.

      @@javiermendez9365 Because the short was made by a clickbait channel that doesn’t care about being accurate. Both are dwarf planets. There are many dwarf planets actually. Which is why Pluto got reclassified. We discovered more planetoids similar in size to Pluto and made a new category for them. It’s really only semantics for the sake of scientific clarity. Nothing about Pluto was changed because it was reclassified. Nor are dwarf planets considered less important or less worthy of study. People really shouldn’t be taking this to heart.

      Was just looking for a potential explanation. Didn't think to start with the actual planetoid.
      My brain went right to how the pictures here are data generated, and from my understanding, the belt is more populated than a few of those images would suggest - the gravitational pull of the other bodies would make it difficult for those rings to remain stable unless Qu- is a bit more isolated or it cleared the orbital path. Except that would help it qualify for actual planet status rather than a dwarf planet, right?
      Poor Pluto, still no respect.

    A quick google search explained that something orbiting within the Roche limit would be torn apart by the tidal forces from the primary’s gravity, thus forming a ring. If it’s outside that limit then it won’t break apart into a ring.
    This seems to assume the satellite has uniform density and rigidity. If the satellite was more like a cluster of solid rocks held together by something softer, the Roche limit would extend farther, thus breaking up the weaker rock leaving the chunks of stronger material to form rings. It could also be possible the orbit was more eccentric, dipping into the Roche limit and breaking up the satellite only for that acceleration to fling the smaller rocks further out into their stable more circular orbits far outside the Roche limit. Or a third possibility is that many many satellites existed that broke apart from collisions and over time their different orbital angles averaged out into the flat rings with many pieces of the satellites having broken off.
