Will Pluto ever be a planet again?

This supercut explores our favourite dwarf planet: Pluto. We’ll discover why its planetary status really got revoked, take a closer look at what’s hiding under the surface, and reveal the surprising discoveries on its largest moon, Charon. To those returning and new to the channel: This video is a supercut of some of Astrum’s best Pluto videos, plus new and updated content. We’ve edited this into a new seamless video, remastered in 4K resolution.

On 23rd March 2025 the Euclid telescope captured the most detailed visible-light image ever taken of the cosmic bulge of our Milky Way galaxy. It’s packed with 60 million stars, but that’s not all. And where there are stars, there are planets - millions of them. Could this image be the key to finding them?▀▀▀▀▀▀ This one image is starting an exoplanet revolution.

Macquarie Island is unlike any other on Earth. It’s home to millions of penguins, but that’s not the weird part. This is the only place on Earth where you can walk directly on the mantle from deep inside our planet. In this video, we’re digging into the science behind this mind-bending geological anomaly. Why is the Earth turning itself inside out?

The laws of physics that govern our universe have left scientists with a lot of questions. But what if there was a simpler way to look at the universe? A method that takes into account the speed of light, time dilation, redshift, dark energy and an expanding universe? My brother, Jon, has come up with just such a hypothesis for a unified theory of everything that could explain all these and more. The biggest question is - could he be right? ▀▀▀▀▀▀ Thanks to Displate for sponsoring this video. Use code ASTRUM at checkout for exclusive discounts on your order at https://displate.com/l/astrum.

The most extreme weather on Earth doesn’t happen in the sky… it happens deep in the ocean. From 200km underwater waves, to lethal blizzards, ocean blackouts, and the icy "finger of death" freezing everything in its path, the ocean’s depths are far more chaotic than we ever imagined. In this video, we’ll explore the science behind the most terrifying deep sea weather events on the planet.▀▀▀▀▀▀ For 72 hours, 15% OFF all Hoverpens with code ASTRUMEARTH, or click the link https://noviumdesign.shop/AstrumEarth - Free shipping to most countries.
