- In this video I talk about features of the largest known moons of dwarf planets. Not much is known about them, but through analyzing certain things a lot can still be learned.
Intro, outro and many other clips in this video were made with Space Engine.

I wish there could be another New Horizons-Like Mission to Explore the unseen up close dwarf planets like Eris, Sedna, Haumea and their moons
They're trying to time it properly with Jupiter's gravity assist. It's gonna be very difficult. But hopefully it happens anyway because Sedna can get super far. That mission is a must.
Though I just don't see minor planets or their moons as being a high priority for space agencies. There's far more fascinating targets closer to Earth than any minor planet (except Ceres) to explore further first, like the ice moons of Jupiter and Saturn.
Oh hey UranusIsHere-
Problem is, anything they want to study that far away would be nothing more than a flyby. So the only reason they would do another flyby mission is if there was more to study, so first, they need to find evidence of more bodies. Once they find evidence, they can send another fly by mission. It is different than studying the main solar system bodies because those are not fly by missions as often since they can be audited for long periods and studied.
@@foxdavani4091 that’s fair but you never know what more there could be *to* study. I quote Ferris Bueller: if you don’t stop and look you could miss it.
And many still go "it's just a rock, what's so special about it?"
To paraphrase, “It’s not just a rock… it’s a boulder!”
It's a drity Snowball!
Yup, imagine calling a tiny mars a "rock". Imagine what that planet may have💀💀💀
@@SomeAT-AT It is so cold that ice there is harder than rock. Not much snow in that environment lol
And that's why there's a whole moon revolution going on right now... great job earth the moons of the solar system are planning an attack on you for being so selfish and insulting... it's not like you have fragile earthlings on your surface or anything

Hey Dreksler astral. How have you been? I enjoy watching your vids. Keep up the dedication and hard work. I hope you become more popular in the future, and make people love and pay more attention to astronomy
My family and I have been enjoying your videos for years. Thank you for making and sharing them.
Dreksler gives us god-tier astronomy videos and no ads. This is a criminally underrated channel. I've learned so much watching these videos. Keep it up Dreksler!
I’m somewhat of a expert nerd on space, astronomy, etc.. A dwarf planet beyond Pluto and the Kuiper Belt called “TG 387” nicknamed “the goblin” because of its discovery around Halloween takes 30,000 to 40,000 years to complete one orbit around the sun, so it takes “the goblin” over double that of Sedna’s orbital period around the sun at over 11,400 years! The goblin dwarf planet is about 300 km in diameter. So, the goblin dwarf planet is 1/5 the diameter of Pluto.
As far as I understand it 541132 Leleakuhonua (or 2015TG87) is indeed a TNO and a sednoid, but we do not know if it is a dwarf planet. An estimated diameter between 200 and 300 km suggests it isn't. At the moment only a handful of objects are officially known as dwarf planets and Leleakuhonua isn't one of them.
Soooooooooooo amazing. Could you share more details about these dwarfs please? Thanx.
Hey Dreksler, just wanted to let you know that you're my favorite astronomy channel on CZcams. I already had a personal interest in astronomy before I came across your channel a few years ago, and you've boosted my interest in the field.
Back in the days when I saw the first picture from Ceres, they showed a light source on the surface and it really amused me. Later got to know they were some light reflecting off salt deposits.
Most fascinating, thanks Drex!👍👍
Good to see you still making video's
I just love your channel. Thx for everything you do
I remember this channel being one of my main inspirations for being interested in astronomy. So happy to see it still going strong!
If my planned astronomy career succeeds in the future, I will make sure to remember you, Dreksler Astral!
Your videos are so relaxing.
Thank You for the Information you've been providing us!
AAAA YES!!!! Another video cool!! btw i love your videos
شكراً على هذا المحتوى الرائع 🙏🏻
Fascinating!
Keep up the good work dreksler astral
Nix's red spot is very interesting! Love your videos Dreksler. I always look forward to your uploads.
Great vid, nice to see a space topic I haven't seen before

What If our Moon (Luna) and Mercury (planet) switched places
It that were to happen instantly it would probably be a disaster for life on Earth. Mercury is about four and a half times more massive than the moon. Think about the sudden huge tides we would get! The Earth-moon system has a barycentre within the Earth. I'm not an expert but it could mean that the new barycentre is outside the Earth; maybe the Earth itself could get tidally locked to Mercury, but I really don't know. If that were to happen our new days and nights would get very long indeed. With terrible consequences for the climate.
Probably more earthquakes too because of the sudden shift in distribution in which direction the Earth's internal layers want to move and how fast. I don't know.
love your videos bro been watching since 2020 these vids are so entertaining and educational at the same time you’ve taught me so much abt space in science I answer before the teachers keep up the good work
I compared a bunch of these moons to the comet video you did. It will basically be like floating unless we had artificial gravity machines that could help us stand on them properly and keep our bones strong
Bore into them, insert an O'Neill Cylinder. Spin gravity. See Isaac Arthur
Very interesting. Thank you for your perfectly clear pronunciation.
Thousand times my favorite video❤❤❤
Very cool video thanks 🙃
Good video
Nice
Minor planets are throwing us curveballs! It's cool to think that like the gas giants, a few minor planets also have entourages of moons.
I have a question for everyone to answer. Which planet/moon in this list would you like to explore the surface of?(it helps if you search up illustrations on chrome)
Mercury ( u will have a sci-fi suit for all of these depending on the environment)
Venus
Mars
Our Moon
Phoboes
Deimos
Io
Europa
Ganymede
Callisto
Titan
Enceladus
Iapetus
Dione
Mimas
Miranda
Triton
Pluto
Charon
For me I would wanna explore titan Mars, and Pluto. If u wish you guys can share your reasoning for me I wanna have oportunity to fly across titan surface in a wing suit and for Mars idk
Triton seems interesting. If nothing else, imo it’d be worth going just to see the geysers up close
I would probably visit Titan, Iapetus and Pluto. Titan because of the wing suiting potential, and the fact that the suit you wear on the surface would probably resemble the gear people use to climb Mount Everest more than an actual space suit due to surface pressure on Titan being so similar to that on Earth. Iapetus provides a view of Saturn from an angle where the rings are visible as more than just a hair thin line. On Pluto, I would want to see the Sputnik Planitia from the slopes/summits of the neighboring mountains.
That's a great question. I've always been fascinated by venus ever since seeing the venera pictures. I think its venera anyway so I'd definitely pick venus with titan being second choice and then Pluto. Any moons would be awesome just to see the beautiful view of the planet right there almost looking like you could reach out and touch it.
@@kerrymandanny8135 yeah, it would be amazing to explore Venus. Assuming we had the equipment that allows us to deal with pressure and heat. It would be amazing to gaze at the landscape for Venus. And Pluto, I was facinated with the surface features that I always been wondering what it would be like to be on the surface. Did you know some of the snow on Pluto is red? Did you also know that it would likely smell like water ice on Pluto surface since the gases in the atmosphere is odorless?
I heard about the red ice that was a fairly recent discovery right?the big heart looks awesome too imagine standing on that trying to pick out earth In the sky lol. Titan would smell like rotten eggs apparently due to the sulphur in the atmosphere tho we couldn't smell it anyway lol. Its sad we can never experience any of this in our lifetimes its something that has always bugged me not being able to see or experience any of it. But it does make me appreciate our beautiful earth more.
Love your vids Dreksler! You’re the reason I know so much about space!
I live there thank you✊🏾
I watching every day this video 😍❤️😍❤️😍❤️
Superb photorealistic astrographics! Did you do them?
Pluto takes issue with being called a dwarf. He had no say in his demotion, and still considers himself a full planet.

LOTR reference?
"Dysnomia" is the coolest sounding name for a ball of ice I have ever heard
I love the way you use cgi? to portray what it is like on other astronomical bodies. I would love to visit these places and even walk on their surfaces, though of course that is not going to happen. For instance what would it be really like to stand on Phobos, a moon of Mars.
He uses a game called space engine
@@titan9259It’s kinda a stretch to call it a game, it’s more of a simulator, or a database with graphics. At least, it was the last time I played it
also i think standing on any small asteroid would end up being like mountain climbing in a space suit since you’d need similar supports to avoid accidentally achieving escape velocity
@@oberonpanopticon
I still play SE to this day, apparently they're working on a "flight simulator".
Imagine standing on Namaka or Hi'aka and just seeing _🌒_ in the sky
I would say the likehood of objects being captured by dwarf planets is quite low - due to their weak gravity and sheer distances between bodies in space. The differences between surface composition can have other explanations - such as different geological processes going on, especially considering for example - the moons of gas giants - they can look extremely different despite forming in similar circumstances.
Imagine a permanent orbiter around Pluto. What sort of geological changes does Pluto and it’s moons undergo while orbiting our sun? Does it create a thicker atmosphere when it gets closer to the sun ? Are there geysers?
Are you using space engine for some clips ?
Shoutouts to the nerds naming a region of Charon “Mordor” and another “Gallifrey”.
Actually, I wonder how Doctor Who lore acknowledges the latter in the diegetic sense, the Gallifrey Macula.
👍 👍
One day we'll land feet in them moons 😉
there not unknown in all honesty, were not in the club of people that do know. They have outpost on most of these moons already, im sure. But what ever i like your work!
Double Planet🎉
Styx... that's about all, peace out.
i like Sticks (Styx)
oh and kurberows too (Kerberos)
i see a pattern bright dwarf planet dim moon
Why New Horizons wasn’t a satellite 🛰️ orbiting Pluto, instead of a fly-by?
It is very hard to orbit Pluto because Pluto is small and doesn't really have a lot of gravity
@@usamong1129 thanks!!! That means we probably can’t even drop off any type of lander or rover either on Pluto either?
Cobb Vanth
No joke, I know them
Imagine if theia never died
Stooloff
Why doesn't the definition of planet that demoted Pluto not also demote Neptune? Neptune's orbit is not clear if Pluto crosses it
Pluto actually never crosses Neptune. When there orbits are viewed from a top view it does but on a side view you would see Pluto never meets Neptune or goes anywhere near it. All a trick of perspective.
@@SomeAT-AT , what makes Pluto's orbit not clear ?
@@michellebeckham5310 Technically nothing. When they meant clearing it neighborhood it's basically saying if that body is gravitationally dominant enough to dominate and effect the other objects it's orbit and Pluto, Charon and there four moons do not. I mean Orcus is there and it's a dwarf planet in it's orbit (only mirrored) that's half the size of Pluto! Things that get effected by larger bodys are typically small asteroids that followed the larger body orbit getting drag along due to gravity. Not some other planet half the size of them happily chugging along by it's own accord.
Charon is pronounced with a "Sh" after the discoverer's wife.
But the original greek way it would be 'Kharon'
Too bad break throughs in speed and technology can get us to those world's in one tenth the time.
Haumea Not Howmia
Charon is pronounced more like Karon, not literal CH-aron
Discoveror of charon called Charon Sha-ron in honor of his wife charlene
