- During a July 24 science update at NASA headquarters, new surprising imagery and science results were revealed from the recent flyby of Pluto, by the New Horizons spacecraft. These included an image from the Long Range Reconnaissance Imager or (LORRI) - looking back at Pluto - hours after the historic flyby that shows haze in the planet’s sunlit atmosphere, that extends as high as 80 miles above Pluto’s surface - much higher than expected. Models suggest that the hazes form when ultraviolet sunlight breaks apart methane gas.
LORRI images also show evidence that exotic ices have flowed - and may still be flowing across Pluto’s surface, similar to glacial movement on Earth. This unpredicted sign of present-day geologic activity was detected in Sputnik Planum - an area in the western part of Pluto’s heart-shaped Tombaugh Regio.
Additionally, new compositional data from New Horizons’ Ralph instrument indicate that the center of Sputnik Planum is rich in nitrogen, carbon monoxide, and methane ices.
I would never have expected that pluto would have been such a complex and active world. I'd have thought it would have been just a cratered ball of ice, frozen in the outer parts of our solar system.
It is incredible that they were able to discover so much with just a small part of the data of a single flyby!
My greatest congratulations and thanks to the New Horizons team!
Who would have known that Disney's Pluto would be found on Pluto. I mean he's starring right at us
machine of technology
Lol
Well even the experts were completely blown away with how wrong they were on predictions.
@@christianlorre Not true. A lot of predictions proved quite accurate.
You only hear about the ones that didn't, because that's what makes good headlines.
So good, so amazing, so inspiring!!! I notice there are fewer audiences in the room than previous events. Please, Please do not stop this kind of broadcast due to fewer audiences. The pure and exciting science in it is just so GREAT. Many science guys including me are eagerly looking forward to seeing the next broadcast.
We are doing some amazing things as a species.
EdgeKun If we could eradicate religion and stop killing each other with wars, etc., we'd probably be able to do a lot more amazing things as a species.
well, we are still in the dark ages of our species. it has only been roughly 100 years since any real meaningful technological advancement has occurred. it is only a matter of time before things get sorted, itll just be a long time. lol
EdgeKun I kind of agree, but am not always so optimistic these days when I look to the middle east, see Russia rearming at an alarming rate, China with clear ambitions in all areas and all fields to challenge the USA and the west. I see potential conflicts all over the place and insecurities that could literally halt our progress for .......who knows? But ultimately I see our future out there, amongst the stars, most surely our destiny to spread the majesty and miracle of life.
AlternatingFrogs I have a bit more hope with the commercialization of space. If we get the economic machine running science will reap the rewards! Wait... That is the plot for Avatar!
Joshua B True, that is a great hope and a realistic one. I mean an asteroid passed Earth last week: distance of 1.5 million miles away from us - estimated to have a worth of $3 trillion in precious metals.
the year 2020, still this video makes me interested. This guys are awesome
Not even 50k views?? Really:(??? Something tells me it would be a lot more if a cat would have been included at some point. This is great news, amazing progress and a huge accomplishment for our species. Im pulling my hat for all the hard working ladies and gentleman who participate (d) in this program. Thank you so much
congrats for a success of great 9 years journey to PLUTO....
In addition to sending back Pluto encounter data, New Horizons continues to collect new information, including measuring the distribution of dust in the outer solar system. We're looking forward to all of these data!
They shouldn't create false expectations by saying "if you are seeing a cardiologist, you may want to leave the room" (9:11).
I expected to hear about something really drastic, like a liquid ocean/lake of some sort, ice eruptions, etc. that would've justified such warning... But seasonal ice transportation, larger atmosphere haze than expected and glacial flow, will hardly cause any heart attacks...
Anyway, keep 'em coming, we want to hear all about Puto and its moons.
Also, 55:35 ... LOL
Phenomenal mission! I can't wait for more! I love planetary science!
How could someone dislike this!? It's amazing science!
+Hassan Sarfraz There exists a dedicated band of anti-NASA trolls. The You Tube version of graffiti spray painters.
@@harryandruschak2843 There also exists a dedicated band of people that have the ability to think for themselves. Just because NASA uploads a video to RUclips does it make it true? Has NASA ever been involved in a cover-up? Or deceived the public?
Graffiti can sometimes be a beautiful form of art. Just saying :)
animation art and speculation is amazing?
@dj1200 Maybe i can just borrow yours but I'd request that you remove the blinders. Also i didn't say that everything was a conspiracy. I'm also not going to pretend that the world is all rainbows and unicorns. Do some research and learn how to think for yourself, then make an informed decision. Don't forget to drink the koolaid.
That farside photo is mesmerizing
AMAZING STUFF! And we've only seen less than 5%. Much more than I expected. Could definitely see the swirls. I've got to settle down, I'm getting too excited! But seriously, these are very exciting times!
For a crazy war torn species, we always have an urge to strive beyond our understanding and imagination. Well done Nasa. :)
Tombaugh Regio has always looked like a 'butterfly' with a strong S-N centerline and nearly-symmetric W-E splash-pattern...
Do you have a channel of official NASA documentaries? Or a playlist?
Skip ahead to 6:03
Jim Scarborough Thank you
@Joe Smith, how many children do you suppose were inspired to study science by seeing the picture of the heart on Pluto? Those are the kids who will be maintaining your RUclips servers in 15 years, and who will be inventing your next cell phone in 20. None of that money was shot into space - it was spent in the same Earthly economy you and I live in, and it pays dividends far beyond employment.
Best press release yet! Keep at the science guys :)
Hey NASA is there an updated version of this round ? It’s now 2021 and I’m wondering where the research went on all of those topics
I truly admire you guys!!! I've always wanted to work at NASA that's why I went get a degree in math.
Pluto pictures are fun.
so insane how the audience went crazy in that room!!
Pluto is so hipster, it's naturally sepia toned for Instagram. lol
This data is so amazing, and the pictures are just gorgeous. People got upset when it was downgraded from a planet, but now it's easily the most interesting Kuiper Belt object, dwarf planet, and only dual-planetoid system. I'm so glad we finally have this sort of information on Pluto. I was always disappointed growing up, since when you talked about the solar system, all you had of Pluto was some fuzzy blob for a picture and it would say, "It's really cold, it's made of ice, and we don't know much more."
Not anymore!
I'm so stoked that it's likely still geologically active.
More goodies from the edge of our solar system. Yay!
After thousands of years mankind as broken through!
It's 2016 can we get an update on the year long download of info here???? And a similar update with Ceres???? Pleaseeeeee do an update video on your conclusions!!!
Hmmm, Cryo tectonics. Really loving the binary planet data. Well done all.
Naming that mountain range Hillary is a massive challenge to future exo mountain climbers. Also well done.
Such a great achievement...
Given all the surface spreading and the differing ,...massively differing ages of Pluto's surface, how does one avoid the obvious conclusion of massive tectonic spreading of the Planet's surface and planet itself?
It's stunning. Thank you NASA. A pretty "platinum" marble.
Fascinating.
Tombaugh regio is caused by two low angle impacts of ice bodies. First from down left, then other from below "painting" over the trail of the first!
The plot with the added REX data for atmospheric pressure showed an arrow pointing to nothing. Was there a data point at the tip of the arrow? Was it that much lower than other observations? Also, what was the precision of each measurement through time? It seems data from 1980 would be much less certain than more recent data.
Yay, story time!
I do so enjoy a good story.
Just like another Star Trek movie.
Wonderful!
33:20 the mountains look like Giant Crystals, in the middle top there is massive looking crystal with straight sides... Is that possible ?
51:56. Alan Stern says that the New Horizons team had not been able to get a new mass estimate for Pluto. That isn't correct. They certainly did.
As New Horizons approached Pluto, it increased the precision in the measurement of the two quantities needed to calculate the mass by Kepler's laws: the sidereal period of the Pluto-Charon orbit and the separations of Pluto and Charon from their mutual barycenter. With that done, an improved estimate of the masses of Pluto and Charon became possible.
The subsequent precise measurement of their radii made possible improved estimates of their average densities, which allowed better estimates of the ice- and rock-fractions for each body.
The calculation goes like this. Let subscript 1 denote Pluto. Let subscript 2 denote Charon. d is the distance to the Pluto-Charon barycenter. P is the sidereal period. M is mass. R is radius.
d₁ = 2035 km
d₂ = 17536 km
P = 6.387230 days = 551856.7 sec
G = 6.67384e-11 m³ kg⁻¹ sec⁻²
M₁+M₂ = 4π²(d₁+d₂)³/(GP²) = 1.45603e22 kg
M₁ = (M₁+M₂) d₂ / (d₁+d₂) = 1.3046e22 kg
M₂ = (M₁+M₂) d₁ / (d₁+d₂) = 1.5140e21 kg
R₁ = 1186000 m
ρ₁ = 3M₁/(4πR₁³) = 1.867 g cm⁻³
R₂ = 603500 m
ρ₂ = 3M₁/(4πR₂³) = 1.644 g cm⁻³
b = density of rock = 3 g cm⁻³
a = density of ice = 1 g cm⁻³
fraction ice by volume = (b−ρ)/(b−a) = (3−ρ)/2
→ Pluto: 0.5665
→ Charon: 0.6778
fraction ice by mass = a(b/ρ − 1)/(b−a) = (3/ρ − 1)/2
→ Pluto: 0.3034
→ Charon: 0.4122
If that was done correctly, then Pluto probably has a rocky core with a 897.6 km radius, overlaid by an icy shell of 288.4 km thickness.
I kept the general form of the density calculation visible in case someone wants to adjust the values of a and b. Methane ice has a density of about 1.35 g cm⁻³ and nitrogen ice has a density of about 1.25 g cm⁻³ at Pluto temperatures. Water ice's density is about 0.94 g cm⁻³. Pick the mix of water, nitrogen, and methane ices that you think is the right one, figure its density, and assign that value to a.
Similarly, maybe you think there's a small metal core inside the rocky core, which would increase the value of b. (Earth's moon's average density is 3.34 g cm⁻³ because it has a metal inner core.)
Then refigure the fractions of ice for Pluto and for Charon by mass and by volume.
I had just finished my new design of a space probe that may be more advance than what we have right now.
@ 10:50 Did anybody notice the copyright symbol left, middle of the heart ? This Dwarf Planet has so many interesting features.
***** I should of explained it better. The sentence I wrote makes it sound as if the copyright looking symbol is inside the heart. Outside the heart on the left there is one small crater and left of that there is a larger crater with what appears to be a C inside of it.
We’er so happy the team is back together and we wish you ,”GOD SPEED... AND GOD BLESS YOU ..for helping us .
I feel a little better that we’re doing something finely ...and we need all the help we can get ,,,,no FALES STORIES.
We need people that will tell us the truth please ...that’s all ..thank you ..sincerely yours
The Black Dog Out...5x5 copy. Beep!........👨🏻🚀👨🏻🚀👨🏿🚀👨🏾🚀. ✝️📡🔭🚀🚀🛸🛸..
Incredible achievement, thanks to everyone involved! I've looked forward to this since I was a kid.
However, that flag-waving at mission control was unnecessary. The world knows whose mission it was without us gloating about it. It appeared very contrived & even embarrassing to some of the participants. The time to wave the flag is when someone tells us we can't wave it -- such as the illegal aliens who violently opposed its display during their Cinco de Mayo celebrations in California.
love that they named a region on pluto after chutulu, next group of cellestial objects should be named after lovecrafts fantasy world, since thay often reffered to space.i
imagen what lovecraft would have thought, about that, i think he even wrote a book/s with pluto somewhat starring in em
It's very shoddy to not go back and correct INcorrect words in the captions. As usual, the mistakes are horrendous. So take your "blue marvel" and shove it.
Agreed! And yet that fits!
Pluto turned out exacly as I thought it would.... ;) not... ;)
What a tough crowd lol
Bintang Bulan Planet pada tahun 1967 PLUTO ,Tulang bunyi Lilik Kurnianto,SH.(Balik)
So... after I watched an heard this exciting infos presented by team members i looked up for the next part. but... There isn't! NASA... please inform us^^
its the 26 juli and already its christmas time,"for a grown up kid" :)
what a happy man
we need new data about Pluto
w're eager to know it
it flew by, that's it.
How come they say egg shape etc and it perfectly round.
would be better if the new horizon had a lower speed
I just realised the host Dwayne Brown looks like Van Helsing from Young Dracula. But I kind of doubt anybody here knows that show...
I thought Pluto exploded along time lol
ok
Just a small thought and a quick question. How come Don Dixon in 1979 made a painting of Pluto, that is just like new horizons Pluto photo? Is this some kind of Walt Disney joke? I think would be better to invest the money you said you spend, in the real people around the world, then in bogus missions to Pluto!
...about as similar as "Twins" Danny Divito & Arnold Schwartzenegger
So nasa can confirm the world coming to end in September?
This is very interesting. Given the long period of revolution around the Sun, and the inclination of the PLANET, might these just be seasonal anomaly, just as we have seasons here on Earth.
Also, being that the Earth and Moon could be considered a Double Planet System, it would seem that even if there are no Gravitational tidal affects at present that the possibility of Neptune's gravity may have affected these two PLANETS in the past as this system does cross inside Neptune's orbit at some point in time.
haze layer graph looks like rasta flag
Can they land on the surface?? This is the only way it will show what is what.
Wow pluto is not flat!
Awesome
its been almost a month. how about some new incredible data
a flyby happens ONCE
can we go to mars its so full of life with everything there I wanna visit again
Pluto and its moons is a system which has been engineered By an intelligence, Pluto is a mega city, this has been known From the Hubble data and every cubic centimeter has been designed and it is also of a asymmetrical construction. Due to its asymmetry it would be unStable in its rotational spin, the moons has been strategically placed in its Orbit in order to Stabilize the entire system
thanks
The Nitrogen Ice looks like an elephant
also, the phrase is "time-stamp" not "time-step," lady nasa
Another solar system similar to our solar system?
Do not dream of such a coincidence. The planet that may look like our in terms of location form its sun does not necessarily say that it is equal to earth. Studies may need to determine what is the solar heat temperature that each of those planets receives, radiation, cosmic, gamma. or ultraviolet rays, if they are existent. We are still far away from finding an earth alike environment from finding one, but let us hope so.
60% Earth's size isn't exactly "earth-like" other than being inside the habitable zone.
Ok i know it will get a edit soon go to 10:59 look at mid left side see the skull in the crater... Thank u let me know
Disney’s Pluto!
dewayne bro who waxes your head??? i need mine to shine like that its so brilliant!!
lol at 0:06 Dwayne/Wade XD
The copy right mark is God’s sense of humor copywriting Pluto from Disney.. lol long before Walt Disney Created the character.
how about earth pics, and things
Why are the captions in all caps?
government workers on drugs
-.- you know why its hot, the same reason earth is hot and mars is not. The planet has a moon creating friction in its core.
Yeah mars has moons, but their very tiny.
Nobody said Pluto was "Hot".
the great spot on Jupiter is less than 25% of what it was when it was discovered hundreds of years ago ..and today has dissipated from what was to as small as it is now in just the last few years as all our planets are having weird science ..the great spot in located approximately at 19.5 degrees south latitude the same location of sun spots south and north latitude also here on Earth of the Bermuda triangle , the huge volcano on Mars ....and Pluto is said to have a science fiction surface as it is covered in ruins looking like Japan after an atomic bomb strike ...let me guess Pluto's atmosphere is radiating radio activity of the isotopes of xenon 129 same as Mars does ?
we are waiting september
for more new data
flew by an object called 2014 MU69, or Ultima Thule, in January 2019
10:15 On the right side.. Possible aulacogen?
Pluto should be a planet. Here is the reason. Pluto cross courses with Neptune. This makes it more special than the other dwarf planets and other planets.
Why won't nasa disclose signal from 1984
Maybe because NASA hides the truth from the public. And always has.... So many sheep, reading through these comments is quite sad actually.
Amazing, how with one Photographic frame Mr. William McKinnon can tell if there is nitrogen ice flow. Why is this not possible? Answer: Because FLOW by definition is a time dependent phenomena which would require more than one frame to determine flow and this flyby is not going to give you this data to determine the rate of flow. He Should is honest and tell us that this is his interpretation which is flawed, because he only has one data point and he would need more than one, in a time domain to establish this as Scientific fact! But I guess he’s safe because Pluto is 3,000,000,000 miles away and he has a PhD , a license to hoodwink people! All of these scientist are just giving us guesses or maybe they are just deceiving us! And the media, is just incompetent.
What is he on about? 8:42 "Available to release"?
Release them all!!!!
Typical NASA. I'd have rather seen a video on what you have than all the waffle about engineering and delays.
My son is good with Photoshop if you want a hand?
Pointless NASA blah blah video...
You might need to delete this comment as I don't think blue screening works on RUclips. This isn't 'Uscreen' you know!
I'll paint you an incredible picture I feel to believe Pluto is the remnants Tiamat I feel to believe once they do a thorough scan of the dwarf planet they will discover artifacts probably humans dead both great and small and animals from Earth as well I feel they will fine all kinds of things that are connected to our planet on Pluto
You're fired.
What? No Hal Weaver???!!!
Do you all just like complicating things? Why not say Pluto’s head verses neck or nose?
Earth is flat party anyone?
they said cthulu a lot is Cthulu on the planet are we all going to be driven mad by the old God? is Cthulu coming from Pluto???
Our beautiful precious marbel of a planet that we've conquered and exploited. Now it's time to conquer the rest of the solar system (subliminal message) lol 1:20
Its exciting !!!!!!!!!!!
The UFOs are laughing at us.
+iOS 5.1.1 In theory, the "U" in UFO means unidentified. In practice, the "U" means positively identified as an alien spaceship.
small crowd o_>
It's amazing that we are so intrigued by life on other planets yet we hate one another from different parts not looking like us.
Can you believe how we would treat E. T. Perhaps it's a reason the other earth like planet with humans is so far away .
There is another earth like planet simply because nothing in nature is a one time occurrence
"In this conceptual photograph, we observed evidencve of".... I was born at night, but it wasn't last night. It cannot be evidence and a concept; Doc says it a few times... I'd really like to know which one they are... renders from data or conceptual art. I'd like to believe it's data rendered to visual rep after an hour of rambling on, but after so many times saying "Animation" and "Concept" I'm like... Wow, thanks for the cartoon speculation.

the languages of the civilizations that really made a difference on Earth's history and that are contained in the Golden Record of Voyager 1... A few (little) civilizations will be able to overcome self-destructive instincts, though humankind on Earth, if it lasts for more 5000 years it will be very very very lucky.Humans are self-destructive. Their capabilities of building a long civilized period are very limited. The last x in the Drake equation is how long a civilization lasts. In the case of humans, it's very low. It's estimated that humankind, either due to ISIS and Co., greedy climate change deniers, and the profound selfishness and warmongering across the human tribes on Earth (and Americans, for instance, are a very dangerous human tribe), it's very likely they won't last for a long time, unless the whole world suddenly becomes a giant Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Ireland or New Zealand... not very likely.

wow longest vid ever
Head of the science mission directorate is a dude? Big fucking surprise. The war on women is FAR from over...
Hair spray.
When do you guys bring a photography instead of all your borring computer generated images. :) ??
