How Kerbal of you to say that

Thinking back to a video you made almost a year ago, the ring must exist within Haumea's the Roche limit. Maybe it only exists because of the minor-planet's high spin rate. Is it possible that, due to it's egg shape, the planet's two lobes are stretched to the height it's haumeostationary orbit? This would make it so certain objects might roll uphill and then, upon reaching the apex of one of the lobes, be launched into orbit to join the ring. I dunno, maybe?

So could the difference in the surface gravity between standing at the pole and standing at the equator be great enough to feel it? Having the gravity degrade while "walking" away from the pole would be very interesting....

Looks like Haumea was just a normal planet but a very fast asteroid well placed hit the planet's ecuador and make it spin like an interstellar meme.

I literally just opened this article in Nature and now I see this video. I'm guessing Scott's version will be easier to digest.

What does "hydrostatically equilibrious shape" mean? I mean, yeah, it means "the shape is caused by the body being in hydrostatic equilibrium," but every body's shape is a tug-of-war between gravity (leading to its shape being more controlled by hydrostatic equilibrium) and various other internal forces (leading to its shape NOT being controlled that way). To my knowledge, there isn't a firm point where an object stops being mostly influenced by miscellaneous forces and starts being mostly influenced by gravity, and there are bodies distributed at all levels of hydrostatic "round-ness". Where do you draw the line?

Reminds me of a presentation I went to on why homo sapiens beat out Neanderthals, and a guy on the panel made some comment about our superior "aquatic processing abilities."

one of my first thoughts looking at this, was wether or not the accelerated distance of other bodies movng away from us affected the results of what shape was seen for this particular planet. but then I thought that if that was true we would be getting more results for "egg shaped" planets

The big red spot is likely from whatever big object impacted it long ago, imparting so much angular momentum to Haumea, with the rest of the dust and ejecta from the impact forming the ring.

"Billions and billions of years"... okay so in reality around 150,000 to 300,000 years ago. For those asking, yes, Pluto is and always has been a planet. Just remember, the guy who tried to prove it was not a planet worships a dead guy who firmly believed in embryonic recapitulation. I guess it's good neither was born prematurely, otherwise they would have popped out of the womb as a monkey or a dog! Very cool stuff, Scott! It's nice to see more odd little planets being recognized, and would be great to see a probe sent to study it. :)

Hauema, this should be a test destination for Break through Star Shot, if it ever gets off the drawing board.

Nice vid Scott, even that it's not about KSP ;) :D It's seem a planet to me, even that is smaller that Pluto, it even have moons, I think the astronomers must change this classification, but, I'm not a astronomer so.. They should know what they doing, probably!! Undoubtely it's very wierd spacial body, it's seem that he stretched like a egg (in upper view) and stoped in that shape, I can't imagine how powerfull forces shaped that bizarre body! Thanks for this vid and hugs! :)

That's pretty crazy..I wonder if impacts on the surface are any different.. From the actual impact of meteors hitting it and 'skipping' off the surface.. or long, wide creators?

makes sense, its fast rotation could be due to a past impact with a foreign object that knocked some debris loose in the axis of its rotation.

I wonder it any sort of "grand tour" of Kuiper belt objects is possible any time soon (ala Voyager 2 style)?

I wonder if the shape is indeed because of the speed/rotation and not just a coincidence. Also, that red color for some reason I find fascinating. Is it some chemical reaction, mineral, something else? Enough is enough, we need to develop faster than light speed (or whatever) ASAP. I don't want excuses that it can't be done. I want solutions now! :) Thank you for sharing this, great video.

Hurry up with Warp Drive, already! We've got places to be and planets to see! :)

Cool. Space stuff.

Hey Scott i have an idea for a future video. Maybe you could explain why we don't launch more rockets from aeroplanes? It makes sense to me, skip the densest part of the atmosphere and give it a bit of speed bonus and can be a lot smaller and cheaper?

So could it have formed as an early binary upon which tidal forces broke up the original secondary. If it as due to inward motion, it could have spun up Haumea as well. The odd shape could potentially be explained by tidal and gravitational gradient issues during this proposed binary formation. Furthermore the ring may only be a remnant, with the majority of the original secondary having fallen inward along the equatorial belt. That's the best I got.

It's the perfect shape to skim/skip across a very large body of water.

Holy hell! What even lays an egg that big?!? O.O

Prediction: The ring is impact debris from a large impact that imparted the large angular momentum to the object.

I'd like a video on how rings form, if it is known. Surely it should be easy to simulate?

I have a question for Mr. Manley. Do you think that more focus should be on researching technology instead of doing space missions for science? I am just saying that it could be more cost effective to research new capabilities before you put them in practice. Do we need missions as intensive?

I am suprised by Your estimation of Haumeas size. It would contradict the values of the ellipsoid graphic and the volume values, I found in Wikipedia:Haumea volumen ≈3.5×109 km3 Jupiter volumen: 1.4313×1015 km3 (1,321 Earths) (Wikipedia)My calculator tells me, that this gives Haumea a 408.942,8571428571th of the *size of Jupiter. That would mean, that You determined Haumea size ~ 100000 times larger! How come?* I am aware that the value for Haumea is given as an approximation. But given that the deviation, would extend to 5 decimal points, that wouldn't change much..PS: Please make another Kerbal session with Amy! That was really wonderful! Keep up the good work!

Idea for a new video: Would the Halo Ark actually be theoretically possible to be built in space? What would need to change in order for it to be plausible? I cant find any videos on this subject so it might be something interesting to think about (Plus Halo is an awesome game).

About which axis does it rotate ? Also, I wonder how would an object orbit this body in a non-equatorial plane, surely it would be non-trivial due to the highly uneven distribution of Haumea's mass.
