Adiabatic cooling (and heating) is reversible (isentropic)…Joule-Thompson expansion is not, and is isothermal for an idea gas…but in the long run, rising gas parcels cool as they expand and falling parcels heat as they compress.
Nice findings Anton… But… We have no time to go to Pluto, because of the upcoming micro nova, which will burn the Earth on one side and devastate the other regions with (mud) floods! Humans need to shut down all dangerous machines and installations, like nuclear power plants, before it’s too late and no life can be possible for millions of years…
fart snow

Refugees welcome here!
I have a question:
Is there a possibility that life cud evolve faster than on earth? I mean faster if the conditions are better?
Life evolved like 3bilion years ago on eath
So is there a possibility?? Cuz i have this question every time i watch like these videos about earth or space.
Pluto: Being a planet is not Me-thane
Do you want to make a methane Snowman?
It’s interesting to think about how all these other planets have been changing for billions of years–weather changes, geological changes, etc.–but nobody was around to experience any of it. It’s taken us a long time to figure out the geological history of the earth, and it has change drastically in the last few billion years, but now we’re just barely understanding the planets in the present even though they, too, had billions of years to change and evolve.
I wonder how many different disciplines had to be tapped to determine the mechanism(s) behind snowcap formation on Pluto. For starters, I’d guess physical chemistry, organic chemistry, meteorology, astronomy, physics, and I don’t know what else. Anyone else?
Pluto is pretty much a gigantic refrigerator lol
I thought the reason was different: water already at some heights where it condensed and cooled, all you need is some cold object for crystallization, mountain or airplane.
Imagine someone would throw a match down there….
Pluto needs an orbiter. No more fly bys, thanks
Pluto
Is
Awesome!
COVID OR LEAVE IT. MASK NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT
How did those mountain forms on Pluto? It’s not like Pluto has any tectonic activity.
Hi it can also be water has well just to let you know!!!!
Don’t get it twisted this is my girlfriend champagne I’m her husband on her account I like your videos I watch you first video when you got started becoming with. more and more videos thank you appreciate you
I hope I live long enough to see humans ski on Pluto.
Spent whole video trying to see what your shirt says. (“It is pointless to repeat”?)
I am a wonderful person π
Legalize Pluto!
I wonder if the methane might be generated within the mountains, since mountains tend to be points of high energy transfer (like lightning rods), maybe allowing chemistry within it. It is very interesting, to say the least.
I was looking up at the milky way tonight (yes, I am one of those fortunate enough to be able to see it) and explaining the rotation of the earth to guests ( although intelligent, they really had no idea), and I thought: if only my “beautiful person ” mugs had arrived, I could offer them as a parting gift from me and Anton… it’s gonny be my Air BnB thang, I think.
You can test this on a bicycle hand pump.
We all kno what people use dat Duster fo’! Lmafoπ΅π΅π΅
Its crazy how on other planets that are cold enough, methane is like a substitute for water. Makes you think. If there is other life out there, maybe it relies on methane in the same way we do water
“This object” – An object that looks an awful lot like a PLANET!
I hope we have a colony at Pluto one day
Wonderful Plutonian snow capped mountains
Nice camera improvement.
What is the temperature of empty space?
How can you have air motion without an atmosphere!
Pluto is high on Meth!
I wish the moon had more nitrogen
Love your posts!
4:47 … known as (?)
Inaudible to my poor german ears. Maybe someone can help.
We need to go to pluto to mine its plutonium to fuel earth
Time to break out the methane powered snowboardπ
Today we reached Pluto with Anton
I see you wearing a Star Wars t shirt *_*
I still can’t wrap my head around Plutos classification. It is only slightly smaller than Mercury, and if it was in the inner solar system, it would’ve cleared its orbit and be considered a plant! π€¬
Love Pluto- nium. π¬π°ππ€π»
We love you Anton!
love your videos, have a wonderful day
I farted ! ME-THANE !
Giant Plutonian bunny confirmed @5:50.
wait, pluto, which is smaller than our moon, has a moon?
Hold on what, you speak French also Anton..!? π€ͺπ₯³π
Thank you wonderful Anton
A most intriguing world! I was born in 1955 two years before Sputnik started the space age. I never dreamed when I was young that we would be exploring all the known worlds in our solar system within my lifetime!
Does the methane snow down on top of the the fluffy polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons which contain energized or “stretched” CO2 (as determined partly by diurnal temperature investigations in the 1980s/1990s of Ganymede and Callisto (“fluffy” – and “sunlight must penetrate the thin fluffy layer”), and the Galileo’s spectral readings of those same worlds, plus on Iapetus in the Cassini’s only flyby anywhere near it, casually called “tholins” as if we understood what they are?
Or do the tholins, as seen on (at least) Iapetus seem to grow to cover the brighter material, and seemingly resurface it in “at most 100,000 years” (and probably much less) after a meteor strike exposes bright, icy material again? Is the methane and water ice at some peaks too pure or too impenetrable to support whatever process the tholins use – is it “poor soil”?
Also… Some surface features such as the “toothpaste from a tube” seen all over in at least one region resemble water ice extrusions common on many airless worlds orbiting Jupiter and Saturn. On those worlds they seem to form near craters where heat has melted the water. In the vacuum a skin would quickly form over the pool/crater. Then as the water starts to freeze it expands, bursting through the ice cover as tall, thin mountains, “horns” on crater rims, “toothpaste squeezed from a tube”, and such like. (On Callisto “flows” of liquid are apparent extending into or even half way across crater floors, also doubtless during their formation after a meteor impact.)
On Pluto the widespread region(s) of it may relate to heat from energies released in the formation of Pluto, which I believe was via tidal disruption of a once larger planet by Neptune (part of which then remained in orbit around Neptune as Triton, with the Pluto system pieces achieving an orbit tidally resonant with Neptune, thus avoiding further disruption).
In the future skiing on Pluto is THE thing to do.
Guys watch this with “Vaporwave Furret 10 Hours” gently playing in the background. You will not regret it.
This is where I come to escape from the madness of current clown planet earth.
Boyles law of thermodynamics is pv=k
P is pressure
V is volume
K is temperature
Adiabatic – just sounds a bit like a Swearing))) “YOU’RE SO ADIABATIC..ITS REDICULOUS” or something along those linesπππ
More flight simulator please!
Thanks Again Anton , you are everything Discovery Channel should be.
Anton, I think this is one of your best videos yet. Thank you
Anton: If a spacecraft using methane as fuel came out as far as Pluto, could the methane be used to refuel it?
The images of Pluto are amazing
Outer solar system is a really mysterious place. It would really increase our understanding if we could send a river there.
Some say that Pluto could’ve been our moon’s twin or just an asteroid, never a planet.
Methane?
There are cows on Pluto!
If and when anyone can actually ever get there…THEN is when we know
Thanks Anton! For another very interesting vid’.
I would like to ask a question though. What is pointless? I can see the statement but not the punchline. π
I know it can’t be your philosophy on life, the Universe and everything.ππ
By the way. I’m glad to hear you sounding a bit more healthy than of late.
I’m wondering. How many times did you have to re-shoot the introduction in the last month because you said “..and welcome to What the Math” at the end?
Yes back with some space content π
We’ve got warrants out for that Jewel Thompson lady in Colorado. Seems she signed a contract to deposit snow in Aspen, but skipped town with her boyfriend Jack Frost without delivering. Now we know where she stashed the goods. She’s been charged with theft by precipitation.
Right on Anton Iβm hooked on these daily videos!
Much love dude.. i forget to like some of your vids sometimes but have told others of your channel. Keep it up
Pluto is fascinating.. Thank you Anton for taking the time to make this video!
One of these days I’m taking a vacation on Pluto! Still working out some minor details. (<:
Hello Wonderful Anton :o)
Hello Anton, it’s wonderful person here, thank you for the education, I love your show!βοΈπππ
J’ai vraiment aimΓ© la petite touche de franΓ§ais dans les images π
So… Lots of snowflakes around there as well. π¬
(Calm down, people! It’s a joke!)
love the videos anton thanks for posting
Great show.
Double check your refrigeration cycle though.
I bought 2 of the fleecy lined tops and they are excellent quality, ty Anton
Pluto will always be a planet in my heart β€
Mediocre person here. I nevertheless have become voracious for your content. Keep up the great work sir!
If u love Pluto and holds its (not a planet) unique charms in a special corner of your heart, give me a like
I literally just typed in snow on Pluto… and this dude just uploaded a video π great output of content ππΌπ
Is the video in the first 20 seconds an accurate representation of the topography of Pluto in relation to its size/curvature? If so, that’s amazing!
2:22 Still.
My dad used to tell me about the adabiatic (sp) process.
So glad to hear that word again, he died 21 years ago
Hello wonderful Anton, this is person.
Just love waching your videos , full of interesting stuff , presented in a catchy way !
03:25 Cold air does not rise on Earth. At least not where I live.
I still always think im gonna hear *”and welcome to what da math”* π₯Ίπ
Love you Anton! Have a wonderful day
Man, I can’t stop watching yo stuff. Love your content!. You always make ma day, by showing stuff I never ever think it would be possible!. Love from LATAM!.
thousandth like! feel like i just became truly wonderful : D
“Is it pointless to….” what Anton?
Show us your shirt
0:45 why do I still expect Anton to start the videos with What Da Math?
Pluto also [Quite Likely] has an… *Underground Ocean* (!)
Anton I like how you still call pluto a planet it’s still a planet in our hearts
Pluto’s moon Charon, has an effect on Pluto’s atmosphere in a not to dissimilar way as our moon has on our oceans.
Since the sun doesn’t effect Pluto’s atmosphere like it does here on Earth, Charon’s gravity tugs on the atmosphere creating tidal currents in the air.
The strength of this “tugging” is yet to be determined.
