Kojima and del Toro Together Again + Nintendo Down Again + Icebergs on Pluto

yay!

Meg! only when Pluto gets a proper orbit and a lot more mass it would be a planet. also doesn't make sense to play favorites when there's stuff in the Kuiper belt bigger then Pluto. in summary, so happy for Kodel Hidoro!!

yep. if we call Pluto a planet, we'd have to learn way more than the nine planets we use to learn back in school. There's just too many pluto-like objects out there. Although, rumor has it that there are good indications that there is another planet sized object back there, and no, its not Planet X.

That outfit <3

Ashley's stealth game is on point today.

Meg Turney and who?

Pairing name: Kotoro

I can explain why Pluto isn't considered a planet.

It's a Kuiper Belt Object, which means, surprise surprise, it exists within an asteroid belt called the Kuiper Belt. If you look into that belt long enough, you'd actually find quite a handful of other planetoids, some of which are bigger than Pluto is. Speaking of size our moon, Europa, and various other moons are also bigger than Pluto.

Furthermore, there are planetoids between Mars and Jupiter in another asteroid belt, a handful of which are also bigger. And we used to teach them to kids as Planets as well. A few examples would be Eris, Vesta, Juno and Sedna. But a few of them were barely large enough to even be spherical (when you've a large enough collection of mass, gravity will start crushing the mass until you get something roughly ball shaped), and as we found more and more scientists felt like our definition of "planet" was a little too loose and we dubbed them asteroids if they weren't large enough to be spherical and (eventually) planetoids/dwarf planets if they were.

So if we called every rock as big or bigger than Pluto that wasn't also orbiting another planet a planet, then we'd have something like 15 planets, 11 terrestrial planets (like Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, plus the aforementioned planetoids and a few others), and 4 gas giants (Jupiter, Neptune, Uranus and Saturn). Also, Nibiru, but that's a conversation for later, because we've only math to prove it might actually exist.

I just wanna finish this off with: no, I didn't just Google why Pluto isn't considered a planet anymore. I'm the kinda person who tears up when thinking or reading too much about space. It's goddamn majestic. I know me a thing or two about big giant rocks floating in space that we'll likely never visit in person.

this newscast was awesome, but why are you guys doing a bunch of stories in one video now?If its so you have more time to work on more awesome stuff you're involved in this year and this way saves you time, then disregard this. I just like the videos better one subject at a time. These short succinct headlines are awesome, just cut this into three videos. Thanks for quality news by the way :)
