Here are guides to setting both up: Google Account: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/161805 YouTube Channel: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/1646861 Main Talk: The Kuiper Belt Objects Dr. Kapila Clara Castoldi will cover several related topics: a brief overview of asteroids and comets, leftovers from the formation of the Solar System; discovery, in the early 1990’s, of objects similar in size to Pluto at the outskirts of the Solar Systems, as predicted by Gerard Kuiper; demotion of Pluto to the role of ‘dwarf planet’ and definition of a 'new' Solar System and the New Horizons mission and ongoing search for Kuiper Belt Objects. Dr. Kapila Clara Castoldi earned a doctorate in High Energy Physics from University of Milan, Italy. After ten years as Research scientist at the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN), she joined Northwestern University for experiments at Fermilab. Kapila eventually left research for full time teaching and joined Oakland University, where she is currently Adjunct Professor of Physics. Short Talk: The World's Largest Refractor Bob Berta says, "Before science moved into monster reflectors in observatories, refractors were king. We are well versed with the stories of large refractors that were in a race to outdo each other...longer focal lengths, bigger apertures, until that famous giant at Yerkes. But was it the largest refractor? Would you believe that there was a refractor so large that the Yerkes might have served as a finder scope for it!" A member of WAS since 2004, Bob Berta has served as Secretary, 2nd VP, President, and Outreach Chair. He is also a member of the Oakland Astronomy Club where he served as VP for several years, a member of the 7 Ponds Astronomy Club, and San Francisco Amateur Astronomers in California. Bob is both a Michigan Representative for the Astronomical Society of the Pacific's Night Sky Network, as well as a Solar System Ambassador for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). --- The views expressed in presentations are those of the speakers and do not necessarily represent, and should not be attributed to, the Warren Astronomical Society.

Some maps of the solar system stop at Neptune, or perhaps Pluto. But those charts only tell part of the story! The truth is that the space beyond the major planets is a place of perfect mystery, and there are parts of it that we didn’t even know existed until recently. So, what other secrets await far from the light of the sun? In this video, Unveiled discovers what's hiding in the Kuiper Belt... This is Unveiled, giving you incredible answers to extraordinary questions!

Ultima Thule was an amazing discovery. New Horizons had been was about 9/10 of its journey towards Pluto before it was discovered! No one on Earth even knew of its existence while they were building or launching the New Horizons probe, and what they found was simply amazing! you can support this channel directly through Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t or visit my amazon store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/thunderf00t

New images of Ultima Thule, the small chunk of primordial debris NASA's New Horizons probe zoomed past on New Year's Day, came into much sharper focus Wednesday, revealing a snowman-shaped object made up of two smaller, roughly spherical bodies that gently collided and stuck together during the birth of the solar system 4.5 billion years ago. Watch to see the results from the flyby of Ultima Thule, an icy rock floating over four billion miles from the Earth.
