A True Story About Planet Pluto: | Passport to Pluto and Beyond

Feel free to subscribe our Documentary HD Channel in HD ( http://youtu.be/cWIiTjPOcos ) A True Story About Planet Pluto http://www.advexon.com Pluto (minor-planet designation 134340 Pluto) is the largest object in the Kuiper belt, and the tenth-most-massive body observed directly orbiting the Sun. It is the second-most-massive known dwarf planet, after Eris. Like other Kuiper-belt objects, Pluto is composed primarily of rock and ice and is relatively small, approximately one-sixth the mass of the Moon and one-third its volume. It has an eccentric and highly inclined orbit that takes it from 30 to 49 AU (4.4--7.4 billion km) from the Sun. This causes Pluto to periodically come closer to the Sun than Neptune, but an orbital resonance with Neptune prevents the bodies from colliding. In 2014 it was 32.6 AU from the Sun. Discovered in 1930, Pluto was originally classified as the ninth planet from the Sun. Its status as a major planet fell into question following further study of it and the outer Solar System over the ensuing 75 years. Starting in 1977 with the discovery of the minor planet 2060 Chiron, numerous icy objects similar to Pluto with eccentric orbits were found. The most notable of these was the scattered disc object Eris, discovered in 2005, which is 27% more massive than Pluto. The understanding that Pluto is only one of several large icy bodies in the outer Solar System prompted the International Astronomical Union (IAU) to define formally in 2006 what it means to be a "planet". This definition excluded Pluto and reclassified it as a member of the new "dwarf planet" category (and specifically as a plutoid). A few astronomers hold that Pluto should have remained classified as a planet, and that other dwarf planets and even moons should be added to the roster of planets along with Pluto. Pluto has five known moons: Charon (the largest, with a diameter just over half that of Pluto), Nix, Hydra, Kerberos, and Styx. Pluto and Charon are sometimes described as a binary system because the barycenter of their orbits does not lie within either body. The IAU has yet to formalise a definition for binary dwarf planets, and Charon is officially classified as a moon of Pluto. On July 14, 2015, the Pluto system is due to be visited by spacecraft for the first time. The New Horizons probe will perform a flyby during which it will attempt to take detailed measurements and images of the Plutoid and its moons.

1. Make Pluto Great Again

3. Wow I never learned a lot of facts of pluto
4. Available indicator receive qrhxqua assistance each alternative golf following dump.
5. sana hindi mangyari ang video na earth vs all planets pero kung magkakatutuo tanggapin nlang natin kasi si god nga sbi ng mga tao na ipapako siya sa krus tingnanggap nya nga para sa kasalanan natin kaya pray lng tyo wag mag panic para hindi ma nervouse just pray ito lng ang masasabi ko..!!!!
6. well the rocket isn't coming back soo.
7. Documentaries like this are virtually a waste of your time. This doco could've bee made by a bunch of scientists sitting around a card table! Would have been just as boring.
   The editing is crap too. Who wants to stare at a black screen for any amount of time. Don't need a PC to do that!
8. and why Pluto is so small
9. is plutos deadly?
10. Who is watching this on 2017
    Like if you are
11. I love photo it's cool 😎
12. cool can you make more
13. PLUPLUPLUPLUPLUPLUPLUPLUTO
14. pluto never could make a trip around the sun while it was still considered a planet. sad.. 😢
15. Who's watching g 2017?
16. omg the head of pluto is slice
17. Did they lived Pluto is real
18. do not worry it will be ok pluto ok?
19. people say that Pluto might be Neptune's star. I didn't say that fyi
20. 20000 ft height of ice we got the more frozen Himalayas
