🌑 TRANS-NEPTUNIAN Objects (TNO) Size Comparison 🌑

The outermost minor planets of the solar system, the so-called Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNO). In this video we show some of them.
Meet these lonely worlds such as Pluto, Makemake, Eris or Haumea.

I liked how you zoomed in on a moon of Pluto and showed us the ISS space station. It helps me to conceptualize the scale with more accuracy.

[@dgage1776]

Frame of reference is a grossly unappreciated thing in modern society

[@Malikav0311]

Great job. Loved the inclusion of the ISS at the end to help lend a bit of perspective!

[@JohnCharb87]

Great video. I liked that you added some descriptions to explain details like distance and size.

[@flux3238]

Yeah makes the video more interesting

[@paulgibbon5991]

Sedna's orbit is nearly impossible to imagine. It's currently near its closest point to the Sun at 84 AU (the furthest point of Pluto, once the furthest object known, is 49), and its furthest point is around 937 AU.

[@ErenKaraman-li6uf]

Did you meant 93?

[@paulgibbon5991]

@@ErenKaraman-li6uf 937 according to Wikipedia. It's really a mind-boggling distance, but there are others than might have an aphelion (furthest point from the Sun) of over 2000 AU.

[@littlecaladan]

Your art is absolutely captivating and is actually rather soothing to watch ❤ thank you for sharing

[@Noxshade]

If this is an indication of the direction of future videos, consider me excited. The small facts added a lot to keep interest, and the zoom-in to new information at the end was really nice.

[@JinZanmato]

You actually did the TNO's, nice work! What could be next then I wonder? Exoplanets perhaps?

[@LendriMujina]

Pluto went from the runt of the litter among planets to the king of an entirely new category.

[@danielbruin]

Amazing! And again, the last minute puts things really into perspective! More of that!

[@airai3562]

Another awesome video! I love the little descriptions along with each object, and the music in the background is great too

[@cypherbrittainnethegodofsl4988]

Funny how Ixion is my favorite TNO mainly because of its name, along with Varda (a binary system with its companion Ilmare, Varda being roughly the same size as Ixion).

Lemme guess, it's because of the game??

[@Alan_Hans__]

Great visualisation. It would be nice if these were shown in a picture in picture format of where they were. It's pretty incredible that objects of the sizes shown can be found so far away.

[@BlackholeYT11]

When people say "Pluto should be classified as a full planet!!" show them this and ask them where we should draw the line. lol

[@Cruxion817]

Nevermind that technically, for as much as Charon is a moon of Pluto, Pluto is equally a moon of Charon since they orbit a barycenter inbetween the two of them.

[@titan-1802]

@@Cruxion817 however, that depends if an Actual Term for "Binary Dwarf Planet" exists, because... well, we don't have an Official Definition for that term.

[@trashpandaqc]

the Tim & Eric Cosmos parody line about "there were thought to be 9 planets, but there are now... 90 planets" kept coming into mind on this one.

[@monstersfight4171]

Pluto and Eris are closer to planets than closer to dwarf planets candidates like Varda, Ixion, Salacia, 2002 MS4, Orcus, etc

[@oberonpanopticon]

@@monstersfight4171according to what metric? They’re far closer to the other dwarf planets in composition, mass, size, and likely geodynamics

Fun fact: Quaoar was actually discovered to have rings very recently. They're very distant from the planet, but it's cool.

Man at the end when the camera was zooming in on Nix, my dumb ass thought we were gonna get a closeup of an astronaut not the ISS! The scale of these things is really hard to grasp until you have it laid out bare for you like these vids do

[@MegaIceeagle]

This one was really well done MBS, fantastic. Great to have some graphic perspective for these distant objects!

[@starfleet-verdadero9808]

Amigo, tus videos además de geniales, nos han cambiado nuestra forma de ver el Universo...SIGUE CRECIENDO :)

Quaoar has rings. They just announced it, probably while this video was rendering. The pace of science is breathtaking.

I love when I can see the ISS flying overhead and I’m always like wow it must be so huge! And it technically is, but compared to Pluto’s moons, which look tiny compared to Pluto…kinda blew my mind lol you do some really great work with these videos!! ❤

[@pyroMaximilian]

Thank you for another informative and beautiful visualization! One typo caught my eye though, Pluto is slightly larger in diameter than Eris at 2,376.6 ± 1.6 km and not 2,326 km as shown in the video.

[@RoulinBrooks]

Wonderfully researched as always.

[@ldubt4494]

Wonderful work, just a small nitpick, Dysnomia is very likely spherical or near spherical, due to its siz.

Fascinating topic!!

My favorite TNO is Sedna. I guess I find its enormous orbit fascinating. It’s probably super spooky out that far too. I wonder what day would be like on Sedna.

There is a typo for Plutos size, it is actually 2377 km making it 2% larger. Eris is 27% heavier though because it has a greater rock/ice fraction.
