Don’t? forget the Oort Cloud!!

Thumbs up, like, fav for “Attempt no? landings here”

I was a pluto lover but I changed after a few years then that was confirmed with this video. Like your stuff by the way.?

Isn’t the Kuiper Belt home to Voyagers and New Horizons’ satellites??

Omg CGPGrey is the answer to the meaning of life? and everything, he has 42 videos.

so good?
May 30th, 2012 at 2:25 am
hahahahahahahahahahaNO?

Kupier, or Kuiper what? eves

Gaseous body with? sufficient mass to fuse hydrogen at its core.
May 30th, 2012 at 2:25 am
@MrEcksDeah We need enough? pressure for Jupiter to fuse and become a sun. Arthur C. Clarke talks about this with monoliths in 2010

I guess? I could give it a try. But if they ever change the spelling of arithmetic, I’m done with mnemonics all together!! 😀 Hahaha

Novel idea, just to throw it out there. Why not keep the names? They are after all identified bodies in space. And yes I’m sad about the shuttle too. Though I realize the? tech was becoming dangerously outdated. There is something about it that my childhood was familiar with and as such has sentimental value just like Pluto.

I we ignited Jupiter and Saturn some how? we could be a ghetto solar system !
May 30th, 2012 at 2:25 am
If we shot? Jupiter with a laser. Could it ignite and become a sun?

To be fair I think its better there. If the planets had a war, and for example gass giants fought everyone else, Pluto would go out first. It’s small and frankly when he? through up the rest of the belt it’s in, I lost track of it…

Oh hey, it’s your 42nd video. I suppose you could make some sort? of reference or something.
May 30th, 2012 at 2:25 am
I’m glad you made this video. I was mostly “meh” on the subject of whether or not Pluto was a planet before, though having been taught that it was since i was a kid, that’s the direction I always leaned. I knew there was an asteroid belt between the inner 4 and outer planets, but I didn’t know they they had been mistaken for planets in the past. It makes sense then,? that having discovered other Pluto-like objects in that general area that Pluto would be re-categorized.

I knew what Ceres was. Great informative video as always. Can you do the probability of several cool events happening in our near future or? something along those lines for the next video?
May 30th, 2012 at 2:25 am
Maybe you can learn to live with nachos instead? of nine pies?
May 30th, 2012 at 2:25 am
Mind =? Blown.
May 30th, 2012 at 2:25 am
have my children
Ok, but seriously, your videos are great. Excellent educational material condensed to less than five minutes.? You’re doing great work.
May 30th, 2012 at 2:25 am
I can’t wait for New Horizons to take clearer photos of pluto in 2015. These ones look like? lens blurred butter.
May 30th, 2012 at 2:25 am
Pluto not being a planet wouldn’t have bothered me? so much if it wasn’t my favourite one…
May 30th, 2012 at 2:25 am
Council? of Elrond? Those dirty elves!
