@mariasirona1622 the way it is decided is that the planet has cleared it's orbit of major debris. Not everything totally. Otherwise nothing would be a planet since there are asteroids and comets all over the solar system. Pluto orbits in an area with multiple other large bodies and some bodies around it's own size. Therefore it hasn't cleared its orbit.

Astronomy as a topic is something I would love to make semi-regularly - it really is fascinating to me. I'd be happy to take any suggestions for future videos! Feel free to leave a comment for a future topic and maybe I'll get to it some day. In this video, I look at the history of our understanding of the Solar System; from the ancient Greeks, all the way to modern astronomy and NASA. This is NOT intended to be an exhasutive list. It's less of a chronological list, and more of short story with several parts. I'm excited to finally get a chance to tell you about Nebula (for those who aren't aware). It's a streaming service started for independent creators, and I was directly involved in its creation. The best way to get access to it is by signing up to CuriosityStream, and taking advantage of the bundle deal which gets you both for just $2.99 per month: curiositystream.com/wonderwhy Thanks for watching!

I'm not a flat earther, and I think they're as dumb as they come, but I'd like to point out that the endless amounts of information on the internet is mostly the reason they exist. Used to, people tried to find facts and a way to prove that the fact was in fact, factual. Now days, anyone can post anything on the internet. There's tons of "proof" of the earth being flat on the internet. The problem people have now days is they allow the internet to think for them instead of using their brains and finding real, measurable facts. And the fact that it's harder to understand the scientific and mathematic facts that prove earth is round than it is to understand "earth is flat because blah blah. So people are taking the easy route leading to a wrong answer instead of taking the hard route to understand why they're wrong.

8:00 Interesting note on Galileo!: It was actually papal astronomers that brought up evidence against Galileo during his trial. They had been observing stars for years looking for stellar parallax, which would prove that the earth moved, but failed to find any. It was based on this evidence that they concluded that Galileo was likely not correct in his heliocentric theory, not on any biblical understanding. Even galileo's telescope wasn't powerful enough to detect the very slight change in stellar positions. It wasn't for hundreds of years that the first instance of stellar parallax was discovered, finally proving the theory correct.
@Danquebec014 жыл бұрын
And the idea that the stellar paralax could be the undetectable was dismissed on the basis that the distances would be absurdly great. Turns out, the distances are really that great.
@nutyyyy3 жыл бұрын
Yes it was very interesting. There was a Roman scholar who calculated the size of the universe to be the equivalent of several light years in volume. Which obviously at that time would seem unimaginably huge but still tiny compared to the reality. So its understandable that Gallileo's theories were doubted at the time.

Eratosthenes of Cyrene (276 BC - 195/194 BC), best known for being the first person to calculate the circumference of the Earth, which he did by comparing angles of the mid-day Sun at two places, a known North-South distance apart. His calculation was remarkably accurate. He was also the first to calculate the tilt of the Earth's axis, again with remarkable accuracy. Additionally, he may have accurately calculated the distance from the Earth to the Sun and invented the leap day. He created the first global projection of the world, incorporating parallels and meridians based on the available geographic knowledge of his era.

The oldest book on astronomy is the surya sidhanta which clearly explains the positions and velocities of planets and has formula to calculate the velocity of a planet.

It says that when our earth is farthest from the sun the orbital velocity decreases and when it is the closest to the sun the orbital velocity increases.

7:00 that is NOt what Gallileo saw. From reconstructions of his telescope his view needed quite a bit of interpretation. Which is, why it did not, as you would expect, just convince everybody who looked through it. And it took evenb after Galileo still a while til it became canon. Only improved lense arrangements and precision (even more then size) did that. Which was also why they could not figure out, why Saturn was sometimes bigger or had "ears". Their image with very early telescopes was nowhere near good enough to form even the idea off rings.

A number of factors contributed to the lack of a cosmonaut on the moon. The rivalries between design bureaus caused the Soviets split their design efforts between the Proton rocket/Zond flyby effort and the N1 rocket/L3 lander effort. Furthermore, the death of Sergei Korolev almost certainly spelt doom for the Soviet crewed lunar programs as the N1 rocket program lost its chief designer/manager and more importantly the biggest advocate for the Soviet manned space exploration. With lackluster N1 test flights, a lack of political will, and the success of the Apollo program, the Soviets shutdown their manned lunar programs.

Wonderwhy, I enjoyed your video. The only issue is that Galileo was tried because he insulted the Pope, not because of his stance on Geocentrism. Also, Tycho Brahe created another model of the Solar System that many people believed during the time of Galileo. You did a great job on your video though.

Galileo was tried after he got snippy and pissy with his patron, the Bishop of Rome, he tried to pull a Dante and the Pope said nope, stop that. If he had just calmed down a little bit he wouldn’t have been arrested. The myth the catholic church wanted to burn him straight away needs to die, he was only tryed after he started getting snippey with the Pope.

A. Cunningham also worth mentioning: the claim about Galileo risking torture is simply not true. And he wasn’t put under house arrest for the rest of his life. AND the house arrest was actually pretty nice, because Galileo was permitted to be stationed at a nobleman’s property. Jeffrey Burton Russel has written about this in "Inventing the Flat Earth"

Semi-true... while the Pope was friendly with him (until his Dialog), there were several cardinals and underlings who were waiting just for thar opportunity to finally put Galileo on trial, precisely because of his Copernican ideas.

What about a compromise option - Galileo got hit by contemporary version of cancel culture and got sort of deplatformed? I'd say business as usual and generally happens to anyone whose research may undermine someone cultural hegemony.

The Earth being round was figured out LOOOOOOONG before this. Sailors noticed that when an object in the distance first came to view, it was always the top. As they approached, the vision of the object spread down towards the base. It didn't take long to figure out this only happens if the surface you travel on is round. It can't happen if the Earth is flat

Speaking about humanity’s evolving knowledge of our own star system, I hope that one day we can advance a tier into the Kardashev Scale and propel our technological capabilities even further to push our knowledge of how this universe works. The size of the universe is frightening, incomprehensible to humans. Traveling outside this star system would take over 60% of our lifespan. It’s just difficult to imagine humans being able to travel outside this star system with our current primitive technology.

It would be better to describe Galileo's vocation as lens maker. he decided to aim his lenses upwards, and boom, revolution.

I recommend reading Alexandre Koyré's book "From the closed World to the infinite Universe". Aside from a few incorrect criticisms to Galileo's experiments, it's a really interesting take on medieval astronomy and the copernican revolution that goes way beyond the usual simplistic narrative of empirical phenomena against dumb religious dogma.

At approxinately 4:29 , there is a recurrent misconception about the middle ages as a dark age. The early middle ages (500-1000 AD) might be comsidered dark though there are arguments against this such as the fact that there was a Carolingian Renaissance and ither devellopements. But the rest of the middles ages were certainly not dark. Universities and Schools sprung to educate monks and there was a recovery of ancient knowledge primarly Aristotle, but also the capture of the knowledge of the arabs which influenced medieval thought. Relating to this was astronomy which has many pioneers such as Roger Bacon. There was still work done in astronomy which influenced the scientific revolution.
