Learn about the New Horizons mission to Pluto and the Kuiper Belt. How did the spacecraft get to Pluto so quickly? When is the optimal time to go to Pluto? Discover the Europa Clipper and Lucy Mission. We explore Jupiterâs Trojan Asteroids and the future of flyby missions.
What is the difference between a minor planet, dwarf planet, and planetoid? Find out about Theia, the protoplanet that crashed into early Earth. We discuss the origins of the term âdwarf planetâ and planet classifications. What makes something in space become spherical? How did Pluto form? Are Pluto-type planets only formed at an extreme distance from the sun? Learn about the discovery of the Kuiper Belt and how Ceres formed in the asteroid belt.
What questions did New Horizons answer about the Kuiper Belt? We explore the dance between Pluto and its moon Charon, trans-Neptunian object Arrokoth, and why freezing gives off heat. Plus, why all the fuss about Pluto? All that, and a friendly nerd fight over planet classification and why terminology is important in planetary science.

Top Comments of this video!! :3
I love it how scientists are not afraid to call each other wrong and not get offended by it.
It's about knowledge and not about feelings and it's admirable.
Also, have to commend Neil for his obvious teaching talent. I am sure most of us had teachers that just bomb drop terms they are familiar with but the students aren't, causing a rift in the learning process. Neil is very aware of this because of the audience. He is acting like a teacher for us and it shows his concern in teaching adequately.
Also, Chuck for being the student in the room unafraid to ask the dumb questions.
Great show. Thank you all.

Neil: "you're not a planet"
Pluto: "And you're not Carl Sagan" đĄ

There's some confusion in the comments. The controversy is not whether Pluto is a dwarf planet or not. The controversy is whether the word "planet" should be a disjoint set or a super set.
As it's currently defined, "planet" and "dwarf planet" are disjoint sets, i.e. Pluto is a dwarf planet and not a planet. Similarly, the Earth is a planet and not a dwarf planet.
However, some are in favor of the idea that "planet" should be a super set, i.e. Pluto being both a planet and a dwarf planet. And, therefore, the Earth is also a planet, but not a dwarf planet.

Oh my I loved Dr. Allen and Dr. Tyson debating! Please do a longer show with him.â¤â¤â¤â¤

11:00 I think Neal was referring to "Trojans" and "Greeks"
Asteroids in the leading (L4) orbit are named after Greek heroes (the "Greek node or camp" or "Achilles group"), and those at the trailing (L5) orbit are named after the heroes of Troy (the "Trojan node or camp").

Meanwhile Eris is out there going, "Hey, what about me? I circle the Sun as well, why does nobody care if I'm a dwarf planet or not?"

I did a black light diorama of the Thea collision for my 5th grade science project. It was a card board box with a black light attached and what had once been a bunch of foam balls inside painted with fluorescent spray paint, busted up and arranged to look like said event as best I could manage and a write up outside explaining the event. Won 1st prize.

loved everything about this entire episode! The combination of 2 planetary scientists debating and chuck lightening up the tone of the debate every now and then! Such an enrichement of my week and so great that you manage to release any kind of content every few days!!

The battle we have all been waiting for
22 |
Alan Stern behaves like he's from Pluto.
21 |
Knowledge excluding feeling is a great way to say debate is working
|
Alan Stern was the keynote speaker in 2015 at Festival of Science here in Flagstaff. He was jubilant because of the New Horizon mission. It is an event that I will cherish until death.

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to Dr. Stern talk about the outer solar system, and his banter with Neil on what constitutes main and dwarf planets.
5 |
You NEED Alan back. The chemistry between Neil and Alan is priceless. One of a kind!
3 |
The important thing about Pluto is its function in its own relative orbit with Charon
|
I used to work for Southwest Research. They research everything from petroleum products to fire suppression.
|
Pleaes have Alan Stern on again in a year to follow up on everything he has talked about today!

We found the best version of Jerry.

Regarding the etymology of the word âplanetâ and how itâs perhaps not precise enough, maybe we should take a page from the German language which loves compound words like âlebensabschnittsgefahrteâ which means âlife passage companionâ. Instead of âdwarf planetâ for Pluto, how about âdatmeanolneildegrassetysondoneshrunkifiedpoorplutoâ?
