Bizarre Worlds NASA Discovered at the Edge of the Solar System | Kuiper Belt Objects
Beyond Neptune lies the vast and mysterious Kuiper Belt region, home to ancient icy relics that contain clues about how our solar system came to be.

Astrum Earth has launched! Our first video on Astrum's newest channel explores the potential collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and the icy future we might be facing soon. Watch now: https://youtu.be/GDy7Q8iAtFg
Another beautiful piece of art. Love the whole vibe and production that goes into these videos.
Guessing again? I DON'T believe the origins of life started here.
They missed a prime opportunity to name the celestial object, "Olaf." It kinda looks like Olaf!
One of my fav voices on this
Eris is NOT a Kuiper Belt object (KBO), it is a Scattered Disk object (SDO). The Scattered Disk is NOT the Kuiper Belt, it is distinct, and the Scattered Disk does NOT extend all the way to 1000AU. Like Sedna is NOT an SDO, it is one of many DETACHED objects.
Nix and Styx.
I always thought Charon was pronounced with an 'sj' sound at the beginning.
Ceres no longer an asteroid?
If our planet coalesced 4.6 billion years ago wouldn't that make 4.6 billion the minimum age of the Kuiper Belt?
Micky Mouse?
How Pluto's glacier area has not entered the collective mind as being shaped like, well, Pluto, is both uncomprehensible and disappointing…
Can we take a moment to appreciate just how cold it is out there?
You casually mention nitrogen ice on Pluto like it's no big deal. But the *boiling point* of nitrogen is -196 °C (about 77 Kelvin). But Pluto is too cold for nitrogen to exist as a liquid.
I should also note that -196 °C is nitrogen's boiling point under 1 atmosphere of pressure. At lower pressures, its boiling point will also be lower.
skip to 14:09 in video to get to what video is about…everything before then is just blah blah blah..
These videos help me get to sleep
The Kuiper Belt Would Be A Great Place To Store Ground Beef
I'm like mindblown with the distances and then omg we're still in Sol.
I'm still hoping NASA names one of these newly discovered worlds Yoggoth.
I like educational videos, the people that put these videos on YouTube or on Television really need to read The Holy Bible. Good educational video, i have leaned a few things in this video.
Good educational video, in The Book of Genesis, The LORD our God created the Heavens and the Earth in six days and on the seventh day The LORD God rested on that day. These astroids and the starts and the moon were created in six days, along side the rest of this Galaxy. Not made five or six billions of years ago, no, created two hundred million years ago, the only flood was during Noah's time, all though there was some flooding many years after that, but however not as large as the flood during Noah's time while he and his family was in Ark for fourty days and fourty nights, that was over a one hundred thousand thirty years ago.
You forgot to mention, that there might be diamonds or gold or even silver and other materials like iron and copper or even titanium, in those asteroids, most of them are not just made of ice, there could be even platinum in these astroids too.
Why can’t plug be an exception like breaks the rules so it’s still a planet
A great episode!
Interesting, and how do they come up with all these strange names, is there any system, QB1, hmm?🤔
I can't express how grateful I am for the effort you put into making sure us viewers know exactly what type of image are we seeing at each moment.
Just in case you are curious about the credits on that image at 12:20, yes, there is a very real chance that that is THE Brian May of Queen fame. He's actually an astrophysicist.
you forgot to add gonggong in the list of dwarf planets its my favorite :(
Somewhere out in the cosmos.
Ice water is melting, animals are coming out of hybernation and drinking the ice melt. Those same animals are the ancestors of our future galactic neighbors😊
Actually Steve Young was QB1 in 1992
