The Planet That Was Almost ERASED

In this documentary-style video, we uncover the hidden story of Pluto: the planet that was almost erased. From a scientific coincidence that led to its discovery, to the controversial 2006 vote that demoted it to a “dwarf planet,” Pluto’s fate was shaped as much by politics as by science. We explore: How Pluto was discovered by accident The real reason Pluto was demoted What the New Horizons mission almost never showed us Pluto’s icy heart and possible underground ocean The strange binary planet system of Pluto and Charon The four tiny moons spinning chaotically in deep space If you enjoy space documentaries, planetary science, and the mysteries of our solar system, consider subscribing for more deep-space stories Information sources: Pluto (Binzel, 1990) On the origin of Triton and Plutuo (McKinnon, 1984) The Problem with Pluto: Conflicting cosmologies and the classification of planets (Messeri, 2010) The Pluto System After New Horizons (Stern et al, 2018) Media sources: Pixabay Pexels NASA image and video library (public domain)
