Podcasts about dwarf planets

A Talk by Dr. Oliver White (SETI Institute)May 28, 2025Ten years ago, the New Horizons spacecraft flew by the Pluto system and revealed an unexpectedly diverse range of landscapes on that dwarf planet and its largest moon Charon -- implying much more complex geological histories for these distant worlds than anyone expected. Dr. White leads a vivid tour of their often bizarre terrains, some of which are still evolving, and explains what processes scientists think molded them into their present appearances. After a brief stop at Pluto's four small moons, Dr. White extends the tour 2 billion km farther out into space, to show us Arrokoth, the tiny "planetesimal" that New Horizons flew past three and a half years after visiting Pluto.  It is the most primitive object in the Solar System ever visited by a spacecraft.

The planets of the solar system come in three varieties: the rocky planets, like Earth; the giant planets, like Jupiter; and dwarf planets, like Pluto. The first two groups are well known. Except for Pluto, though, the third group is pretty much anonymous to everyone except scientists who study them. Astronomers created the dwarf-planet category in 2006, after they began finding bodies similar to Pluto in the outer system. A dwarf planet must orbit the Sun and not some other object, and it must be mostly round. Today, the count varies. But most lists include at least eight members. And some say that scores of known objects could fit the category, with hundreds more awaiting discovery. One definite dwarf planet is Ceres, in the asteroid belt, between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. All the others are beyond Neptune, the most remote major planet. Most of them are in the Kuiper Belt – a doughnut that extends billions of miles beyond Neptune. Pluto is the largest dwarf planet, and the closest to the Sun. The second largest is Eris. It’s actually a little heavier than Pluto, which means it’s also a little denser. We’ll have more about Eris tomorrow. Most of these distant little worlds have icy surfaces. But a few could have active interiors, with possible oceans of liquid water. That means at least some of them are possible habitats for life – in the deep freeze of the outer solar system. Script by Damond Benningfield

A team co-led by the Southwest Research Institute has made a groundbreaking discovery, revealing evidence of hydrothermal or metamorphic activity on the icy dwarf planets Eris and Makemake in the Kuiper Belt. The lead author of this research, Chris Glein, joins Planetary Radio to explain. But our journey doesn't stop there. We dive into the newly reformed US Planetary Science Caucus with The Planetary Society's top space policy experts, Casey Dreier and Jack Kiraly. Our senior communications adviser, Mat Kaplan, celebrates a monumental achievement in space exploration — the successful landing of Intuitive Machine's Odysseus spacecraft on the lunar surface. And don't miss the latest installment of What's Up with Bruce Betts, our chief scientist, as he shares a new random space fact.

Many searches for planets in other star systems look for stars like the Sun. Since the Sun is the only star that's known to harbor life, that makes sense. But Sun-like stars are pretty rare. So some searches are taking aim at stars in the next category down — stars that are a little smaller, lighter, and fainter than the Sun. They're known as K dwarfs. They're in the prime of life. And they can stay in that phase for tens of billions of years — much longer than the total lifespan of the Sun. That means there's plenty of time for life to take hold in such systems. And the systems should be good homes for life. The stars are pretty stable, and they don't produce a lot of damaging radiation. And they're good targets for planet hunts because habitable worlds are likely to be fairly close to their stars, making them easier to find. Astronomers have mapped about 5,000 K dwarfs within 50 parsecs of Earth — about 165 light-years. A few dozen of them have confirmed planets. But none of the planets is like Earth, or in the right place for Earth-like life. A double K-dwarf system is high in the sky at nightfall, less than 12 light-years away. It's close to Deneb, the bright tail of Cygnus, the swan. The system's two stars are far apart, so there's plenty of room for planets. So far, though, no planets have been found — prime real estate with no tenants. Tomorrow: the brilliant “morning star” stands high.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

Constraints on Evolutionary Timescales for M Dwarf Planets from Dynamical Stability Arguments by Katie Teixeira et al. on Monday 17 October The diversity of dynamical conditions among exoplanets is now well established. Yet, the relevance of orbital dynamical timescales to biological evolutionary timescales is poorly understood. Given that even minor orbital changes may place significant pressure on any organisms living on a planet, dynamical sculpting has important implications for the putative evolution of life. In this manuscript, we employ a Monte Carlo framework to investigate how a range of exoplanetary dynamical sculpting timescales affects timescales for biological evolution. We proceed with minimal assumptions for how dynamical sculpting proceeds and the emergence and persistence of life. We focus our investigation on M dwarf stars, the most common exoplanetary hosts in the Milky Way. We assign dynamical statuses, dependent on stellar age, to a suite of planetary systems, varying the rate of dynamical disruption within limits that are consistent with present-day planet demographics. We then simulate the observed yield of planets according to the completeness of NASA's Kepler and TESS missions, and investigate the properties of these samples. With this simplified approach, we find that systems hosting multiple transiting planets ought to have, on average, shorter dynamically-uninterrupted intervals than single-transiting systems. However, depending upon the rate of dynamical sculpting, planets orbiting older stars will exhibit the opposite trend. Even modest constraints on stellar age would help identify "older" stars for which this holds. The degree of these effects varies, dependent upon both the intrinsic dynamical demographics of exoplanets and whether we consider planets detected by NASA's Kepler or TESS missions. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2210.08018v1

Dwarf planets are strange objects in our solar systems, but Ceres is unusual amongst that group. Why is Ceres' surface so strange and how could it have formed without a hot core? Ceres is too small to really have a molten core or large molten surfaces. How did Ceres end up with odd plateaus and continent like features without an active core? How could radiation cause Ceres to form in such an odd way? The Moon's relative size is puzzling but how can we prove that it was caused by a colossal collision? Scott D. King, Michael T.

Pluto's large moon Charon turned out to be far more interesting than astronomers expected.  Pluto was the star when the New Horizons probe flew by, but the features on Charon's surface tell a fascinating tale of how icy worlds could form far from the gravitational influences of the giant planets.  There is evidence of a world-wide sub-surface ocean early on, and of global expansion as that ocean froze solid.  Charon's surface also has a region of plains where icy materials may once have flowed and smoothed over the fractures present elsewhere on its surface.  Dr. Beyer is your expert guide through this story of formation and change in the frozen reaches of the outer Solar System.Dr. Ross Beyer is a Planetary Scientist with the Carl Sagan Center at the SETI Institute and at NASA's  Ames Research Center. This talk was given May 15, 2019

Retrograde Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Eris, Chiron (Centaur) and Pallas Athena (asteroid) put the stakes directed inward to rework, revisit and reassess, regenerate these many energies. “With the times ringing of retrograde energy, Talk Cosmos Planet Buzz too will review past themes of the year. Another strong influence occurring since 2020 is with the Dwarf Planet Pluto, of transformation and the 9th planet in the solar system as Pluto squares Eris, the goddess of truth-telling and discord, for the 5th and last time in October. In the Grecian-Roman mythology, Eris asked a question that led to the Trojan War lasting 10 years,” said Sue Rose Minahan, host of the weekly program, adding, “Amazingly, Eris discovery in 2003 reset the entire astronomical world afire to redetermine categories to label planets, and now reference Eris and Pluto as Dwarf Planets. And we wonder also, if Eris is a truth-teller and regarded as the Goddess of Discord – why is that Truth is considered discord? And what is truth?” Subscribe to Talk Cosmos leading-edge conversations and keep updated with the podcast and YouTube programs. Please write comments anytime, we love to hear from our listeners!

Dr. Brown (whose discovery of dwarf planet Eris led to the reclassification of Pluto) discusses the history of planetary discovery (and demotion), why we think a new, larger Planet 9 is on the verge of being found, and the techniques that we are using to try to find this very faint body lurking in the far reaches of our planetary system.  This was recorded Nov. 11, 2020. 

Alexander adventures on to the large bodies circling our Sun at the farthest reaches of our Solar System that could almost be – or in Pluto's case, once were – considered planets, with a range of unique features and characteristics. These planets clue us in on how our solar system came to be...  You can catch this episode along with the rest of them on YouTube with closed caption.

The esoteric study of Astrology is over 4,000 years old and perhaps it is time for an upgrade!  That is what our conversation with guest astrologer, Bryn Morgaine centers around today.  According to Bryn, "Our understanding of our solar system, the Galaxy and Universe beyond has grown exponentially in the last 30 years...This has produced a number of new areas in Astrology where the observations of our solar system require that our understanding of Astrology be upgraded."   In Bryn's work, there are up to 6 specific areas that revisions in astrology may be taking place:  1.  Dwarf Planets in the Solar System 2.  Pluto as a dwarf planet in a binary planetary system 3.  Asteroids in Astrology 4.  New understanding of Virgo & Libra 5.  Deep Sky Phenomena 6.  Shift in location of the constellations since the Zodiac quadrants were orginally defined.  Tune in today to hear about these exciting changes that are upon us in the astrology world.  We will be doing readings, as well, on how these new phenomena effect your astrology charts.  If you would like a reading, please email me your birth information (time, place & date) to janet@living-astrology.com by 3:00 pm Pacific on Thurs., June 11.   Call into the show for questions or for your readings at 347-205-9869.  We look forward to hearing from you!  

That's no moon, that's Ceres. We also find out about NASA's plans for floating missions on Venus, ancient oceans on Mars, and giant diamonds at the heart of Jupiter!

HaHa!  You all remember how Pluto got kicked to the curb.  It turns out that Pluto is just one of a large family of worlds: The Dwarf planets of the Kuiper Belt! I have brought on two fantastic astronomers to aide me: Sean Moran and Laura Hainline. We explain everything you've ever wanted to know about the Dwarf Planets of the Kuiper Belt: what's a planet. what's a dwarf. How big are Kuiper's pants?  We explain everything to Keith Hayward and Max Wellenstein of the Henshin Justice Unlimited Podcast and Website.  Listen after the closing bunny song to hear an interesting discussion on whether there's a big giant planet the size of jupiter (planet X) out beyond pluto.
