Wren getting corrected for saying someone's name wrong just to call Michael Jordan "Michael Jackson" and no one say a word is hilarious 9:57

[NNZaero]

Pluto actually got promoted from "Smallest Planet" to "King of the Kuiper Belt" so I'm fine with it not being a planet. (Yes, I do know that Eris is more massive)

[lordcroussette]

Mike Brown, the man who discovered Eris which kickstarted Pluto's demotion to the rank of Dwarf Planet wrote a book called "How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming" which is a hilarious name.

Humans considered dwarfs are still humans. Thank you for coming to my TED talk :)

[scottmanley]

Yes. A Dwarf Planet.
But seriously. I wish I had the time to make video of this calibre, great job.

[Zeralium]

I appreciate Wren giving himself some sort of forcefield so he could safely be in the atmosphere on Pluto.

[theoreticallyspeaking]

9:55 Wow. If Michael Jackson could jump 63 feet, imagine how high Michael Jordan could jump.

[darknight]

Actually, the discovery of Pluto in 1930 turned out to be an incidental finding as the perturbation in the orbit of Uranus that needed to be explained by a ‘Planet X’ would require far more mass than Pluto. So it wasn’t based on the calculations. It was just chance it happened to be there. Kinda even more interesting when you consider how freaking big space is and how small Pluto is.

Wren, you have to do more episodes like this! Amazing ♥️
I love math, science, astronomy, astrophysics and computers.
One thing, Michael Jackson isn’t Michael Jordan!

[NopeNaw]

Fun fact: Charon was named after the ferryman of the same name, of the river Styx in greek myth, *but accidentally so.* The guy who discovered/named Charon wanted to name it after his wife, but make the name sound more "science-y." This is likely why both the pronounciation KAI-RON/KAIR-ON and SHAIR-ON are deemed acceptable, as the former is literally the name of the greek mythological figure and the latter is what the discoverer intended.

I came here expecting to be mad about people being unwilling to change. Instead, I found an amazing educational piece of art. You have earned my subscription.

[JackDemonXD]

I'd honestly LOVE for Wren to just Explain Celestial Objects for like, an entire series.

This video is actually so awesome. I'm a huge space nerd so this is right up my alley. Thanks you, Corridor Crew for bring us this absolute MASTERPIECE of a video.

I am glad to finally have this statement from one of my favourite astronomers confirmed: "When I was a child there was thought to be nine planets... but there are now... ninety planets!"
Thanks Wren!

I love when Wren produces his own educational videos! I wish someone would hire him to produce an entire series.

Only one issue… I’m pretty sure he referred to Michael Jordan as “Michael Jackson.” ….so uh…. There’s that.

[franciscoguerra]

09:56 Wren says Michael Jackson instead of Michael Jordan xD.
Great video, the effort to make this kind of videos is awesome.

[coralski]

Tom Cardy's 'H.S' has brought me back to this video, Pluto's been getting a lot of love again lately!

[JCtheMusicMan_]

Your storytelling abilities are amazing! ❤ As you were saying Michael Jackson but showing Michael Jordan I remembered that Pluto was labeled a dwarf planet and then you remembered it too! 😂 Phenomenal presentation!

[trbremm]

Your skills at story telling with these scientific series are amazing! I love the pacing and the energy.

[frederikindigo]

You made me learn about Pluto in a way no one can. The amount of information is astounding and the transfer of that information is masterful. You sir, have a gift!
