You're Wrong About Pluto

I am so excited to bring you this good news...

"Jupiter is tugging on it" is actually how most Roman myths start

"Maybe I should have had a series where I talked about each of these moons"
You still can.

[toadfoottoe]

I can't express how much I need a "Hank Yells Passionately About Moons" series now. I need a series of 20-30 minute videos, each one on its own different moon or micro planet that we often don't think about

12:44 What would we even call aliens form Europa? Europeans?

Hank, you use two words which are incredibly meaningful to my family. "water volcanoes" at 10:18. When my wife and I were introducing the idea of visiting Iceland to our 4-year-old daughter we showed her some YouTube videos. She got really scared because in her words, "the Ice Land, has water volcanoes?" She'd made that name up after watching geysers. She's now 6 years old and really impressed that a world-renowned science communicator is using her terminology. Thanks Hank!

I think I first heard Jupiter referred to as a “failed star” by Carl Sagan and in college I asked my astronomy professor about that and he smiled and said that he preferred to think of Jupiter not as a failed star but rather a very successful planet.

Shoutout to the old dudes who said galileo was on crack, looked at some moons, and said nevermind he's right. These days people would look, see and understand what was happening, and then deny it so as to not admit defeat or being wrong

[Lowekinder]

Last year I was largely ignorant of practical astronomy when I got my first telescope. When I looked at the brightest "star" I thought my lens wasn't focused right because what were those four little dots around it? I will never forget the sense of wonder and awe that filled me when I realized that was jupiter and those were the moons. I had NO idea you could see them with a casual telescope! My sense of scale of the universe SHIFTED instantly. I felt and feel now a deep connection to Galileo and the countless of curious apes before me that looked up in wonder - because I had mirror experience to them. Then a few months later I witnessed the total solar eclipse. I am now a space junky a thousand fold.

13:10 there’s nothing stopping you from making a series of videos about these moons though. It sounds like they deserve the love

“you were wrong about pluto” *info dumps about the moons of jupiter for 19 minutes*

[epaybe]

"Truth is the daughter of time, and I feel no shame in being her midwife" is probably the most elegant way I have ever heard someone say "Yeah I fucked up."

[LaurenMichele]

"You FOOLS are SLEEPIN on the MOONS of JUPITER!" might be my new fav Hank Green quote! And this video feels like a love letter to my fav moons <3

[windowdoog]

Hank has a lot more feelings in a day than I have in a month.

Also Pluto is hot shit.

[stephenhughes]

Hank, it is so much fun to watch you getting excited as you discuss the universe and our current understanding of a huge variety of topics. The Gallilaian moons, anatomy, physiology, geology, et very cetera. I am a 76 y.o. retired physician and college teacher. I have wanted to know EVERYTHING for so long, and I am coming to terms with the fact that this lifespan just will not be like ng enough. Much of what you speak about I already know, but seeing you get SO charged up discussing science does my hear good. Thank you. Please keep it up.

How dare you, Mr. Green. Pluto had no quarrel with the moons of Jupiter and yet you pit them against each other? Can not both sets of celestial bodies be enjoyed? For shame.

[bjbarlowe]

I learned a ton about Ganymede from the book series "The Expanse." In the story, the economy of the colony there is in large part devoted to healthcare, because people who live primarily in space go there to have babies. This is because it's the only moon in the solar system that has it's own magnetic field to protect from radiation. Cool stuff!

[myboatforacar]

One of my favorite jokes I've ever told was when someone said "Pluto was too weird to be in the cool planets club" and I said "I think you mean 'eccentric'."

Still proud of that one.

[iforgot]

I once had an astronomy professor who loved to talk about the Jovian system. He once told us:
“Most star systems are binary. We have Jupiter instead. And isn’t that just so much more interesting?”

[felixkraemer]

Seeing this video and then seing the picture of europa and then i look over at my second screen where that exact picture is my background makes me happy, i can absolutely understand the fascination with the moons of jupiter

[fuseteam]

"Galileo could see them with a pretty crappy telescope"
Galileo: HEY i worked hard on that telescope :(
