Pluto The Pup

In this episode of TYT Science we have an exclusive interview with Professor Michael Brown who was the scientist whom officially deemed Pluto “not a planet”. In this interview we asked how did he draw this conclusion and talk a good bit about the resulting controversy that unfolded after the announcement.

This is a video explainer that describes why Pluto is no longer a planet. It talks about the history of Pluto and its discovery, and then the discovery of Eris, which is larger than Pluto. Now you can learn the official rules for planethood. Created by Christian Ready for Universe Today

What is a Trans-Neptunian Object (TNO) Plutoid?… Any object orbiting the sun beyond Neptune are called ‘Trans-Neptunian Objects’. When it’s a Dwarf Planet orbiting beyond Neptune, it’s then called a ‘Plutoid’. I will be making a video about this in the future. I didn’t find alot of interesting facts about Dysnomia, however here is a few links to websites with facts about Eris’s moon, Dysnomia: www.absoluteastronomy.com en.wikipedia.org If you know anything interesting about these dwarf planets, feel free to share them in the comments! 🙂 Please rate, comment and subby!! xx

Astronomers have accurately measured the diameter of the faraway dwarf planet Eris for the first time by catching it as it passed in front of a faint star. This event was seen at the end of 2010 by telescopes in Chile, including the Belgian TRAPPIST telescope at ESO’s La Silla Observatory. The observations show that Eris is an almost perfect twin of Pluto in size. Eris appears to have a very reflective surface, suggesting that it is uniformly covered in a thin layer of ice, probably a frozen atmosphere. The results will be published in the 27 October 2011 issue of the journal Nature. In November 2010, the distant dwarf planet Eris passed in front of a faint background star, an event called an occultation. These occurrences are very rare and difficult to observe as the dwarf planet is very distant and small. The next such event involving Eris will not happen until 2013. Occultations provide the most accurate, and often the only, way to measure the shape and size of a distant Solar System body. credit: ESO; music: John Dyson (from the album Moonwind) and movetwo. source: www.eso.org

Dr. Robert Hurt explains why Pluto got… well… plutoed.
