NASA Discovers Mysterious Objects in the Kuiper Belt

The vast, cold and mysterious region of our solar system known as the Kuiper belt could potentially hold many secrets to the origins of our world.
It is that part of space that we have only now begun to explore and it is proving to be even more intriguing than previously thought.

Welcome to Factnomenal and in today’s video we will explore the dark distant expanse of the Kuiper Belt as we unravel more of its mysteries.

Finish this sentence:

"Space is !"

"The aliens don't want us to get close to them" Very wise decision 😑....

Saying that the Kuiper Belt is “filled with” is really overstating things a bit. The graphics shown at the beginning are misleading in that they imply a region filled with objects, when it’s mostly very empty space. New Horizons, which passed Pluto and then Ultima Thule (if my memory serves) has passed nowhere near any other object, and if the Kuiper Belt were really as crowded as those opening graphics imply, the spacecraft would never have survived. Space, even in the asteroid belt and the Kuiper Belt, really is EMPTY.

There are many objects there, but unless in a gravitational group, such as Pluto, Charon, and their moons, they are extremely far apart from each other.

How can you just pass over the fact that object couldn't be observed, that is insane

If Pluto is no longer the 9th planet, then we are not looking for planet X, we are looking for planet IX.

Kuiper belt has all the answers for formation of our solar system, they are the remains of the all the planet's we have in the solar system..They actually has the answer of origin of our solar system and all the supply comes from kuiper belt..Space is generous and we are observers just to connect things as they aren't seen in place is mind boggling ..Space is most adventurous place to learn about

[tracylynn]

Strange things are happening everywhere it seems!

[jamesy]

We are the aliens searching for humans

[markwhitney]

When you say ALIENS you must remember that it is NEVER aliens.

Okay truthfully at 7 minutes 25 seconds the one that broke the record with its rotation cycle I believe the reason it is going faster and broke the record isn't abnormal in fact I believe that cycle is what's pulling in more dust and debris that eventually forms the full circle spherical shape of a planet in other words it's prestages

[divineknowledge]

You can't blame aliens for the transmission cutting off. NASA does that when they don't want us to see something all the time.

[milehighimmortal]

Could we get a video specifically on Aron? "Could be alien..." then, next topic?

[meduzak]

4:12 creepy snowman :D with eyes from the creature of "the Labyrinth" :D

Pure information...👽

Space is, so vast we will never know its true size.




imagine a grain of sand in the middle of the ocean, now that is probably not even close to the scale of how vast the universe really is.

[rickwhite]

Planets surrounding stars millions of light-years away have been found, but not the ninth planet in our backyard. (If it exists though)
Have Hubble studid the Kuiper belt?

[mehrajkillough]

Space is yet to be understood and explained!

[t.b.a.r.r.o.]

Every time someone says, "It could be aliens" in a serious voice, during a serious science video they lose 10 points of cred.

After the first instance of that actually being true. Have at it. But till then, relax gang. It's not aliens.

[barrysmith]

Or if Prof Brian Cox would say, “space is dead big, there’s loads of it”

8:17 Planet Nine isn't a planet, but a brown dwarf. It is what's pulling Pluto and other TNOs out into the Kuiper Belt.
