My mind exploded when I saw signs that Pluto might be geologically active. I couldn't believe how rich & diverse the mineralization was. It's a much more complex & active object then I ever could have imagined. Pluto has reinvigorated my curiosity in ways that haven't happened since I was a kid. I hope we build a nuclear powered probe & go there for research as soon as possible.
The photos from the Pluto mission are so incredible. I'm so grateful I got to see it in my lifetime.
The moment New Horizons sent back the image of Pluto’s giant icy heart — Sputnik Planitia — genuinely gave me goosebumps. A world nearly 5 billion kilometers away, cold and distant, yet it holds a symbol so unexpectedly emotional. Thank you, Astrum, for telling this story like a beautifully written space diary!
Hard to believe that a world once considered ‘boring’ would end up revealing glaciers, cryovolcanoes, and even a beating icy heart. I’ve been quietly obsessed with outer solar system worlds for years—and this video just reignited that spark. Anyone else here fascinated by the hidden drama of the Kuiper Belt?
It's shocking to me that apparently it's factually known that Pluto has water, and it's not widely known by the public nor talked about. I always thought it was just a "dead rock," rather than something with constant activity happening on/within it.
The heart shape was Pluto saying “You might not think I’m a planet anymore, but I still love you.” That ought to make the astronomers feel guilty. 😄
We can make it to the moon in 9 hours? 9 HOURS?! Bro flights on earth take longer than that. Im blown away by that wow
Has it really been TEN YEARS
Took me too long to realize it's "Charon" and not Karen....
A heart shaped greeting from Pluto? Perhaps Earth needs to act like the planet Pluto thinks we are!
When I learned about the geography of Pluto, I took it as a metaphor. People who seem cold can to have a warm heart under it all. Just need to be explored to be understood and open. I’m in love with Pluto totally. The core is so warm that it stays alive no matter how far it is from the warmth of the sun. It gave me so much hope
By far, my favourite astronomical tale!. We love you, Pluto!
So, Pluto hides his heart from Charon, and he regularly blows his tholins all over her face. What a lad.
Pluto may have been demoted to "dwarf planet"... but it still has heart.
Such an incredible video! The way you explain complex concepts about the universe is amazing. I love how the visuals complement your explanation – it really makes everything so much easier to understand. Keep up the fantastic work!
This was like watching an old TLC space documentary. Thanks!
Pluto will always be my 9th planet ❤
I really enjoy these long form comprehensive videos. Good work summarizing all the information that comes out in drips over time.
I don't really know anything about space. I only stumbled upon this video because I needed something to listen to while drawing. I felt so much awe seeing the fotos of Arrokoth. There's something so poetic about humans sending a little spacecraft so incredibly far away, to fotograph a funny-looking asteroid. The universe really is vast. Thank you so much for the video, I'm excited to watch all the rest!
