oki a 5th planet couldnt form because of jupiter... so how come it has so many moons close to it... and a big one like genymade with a magnetic field to boot.

Gotta love Mike rowe.anybody?

I can't believe that I didn't know about that probe. To study the asteroid belt in 2010.
I have been giving my ideas for it. This video was missing one thing for the probe. To map out the distance between each one and their orbits around the earth.
The entire world must work together and build a ship. That could safety direct them towards earth. The reason is mining them for their minerals and metals inside. By that time the space elevator would be completed.
When everyone was giving idiots about changing the orbits of the asteroid. I have one as a joke. It's to send Bruce Willis and his team to save us all. With a nuclear bomb. He will sacrifice his life to save us .
WE WIN GRACIE.

Just enough to be dangerous
@
What would happen? Oh thats simple...WE DIE.
@
McNaught in 2007 was the most amazing thing I ever saw in the sky, breathtaking.
@
I beleive at this point in time if we detect and see something incoming with 100% probability of hitting earth our only method is launching a nuke at it and hope for the best..thats currently speaking since nothing else is really feasible if we have only a year or less.

All we gotta do is lasso a comet and take a free ride! How scary once earth leaves sight!
@
They need to set up a way for space computer geeks to look into the sky and hunt for asteroids and comets!! Remember, they donโ€™t have telescopes. Think like itโ€™s a game for them you know, awards, certificates, a title they love titles! ๐Ÿ˜…
@
Who is doing the narrating? That dude is even better than Morgan Freeman!
@
4,000 million miles ๐Ÿ˜‚, just say 4 trillion bro.
@
I finished this with more curiosity than fear. That's the mark of a great documentary.
@
Someone give that narrator a cup of coffee with a shot of espresso.
Not the dirty jobs guy. The other guy.

OK, IF all planet are formed the same way, asteroids - comets collisions, WHAY ALL THE PLANET ARE DIFFERENTS? Also look at trhe Earth how many times we were struck since human is obn it, those colossal collisions didn':t happen in a couple of years we can say millions of years for asteroids slam to each other with the size of the space they can miss for a 1000 miles and never ciollide together, so it must have taken so many 1,000,000 years our brain can't compute those legnth of time.๐Ÿ˜ฒ

A comet is really big

Hello Science Channel! โ˜„ This documentary video is absolutely amazing and captivating from start to finish. The way you guys explained the origins of the solar system, asteroids, and comets is incredibly visual. I was especially impressed at the [46:18] mark, when the destructive power of the asteroid caused rock to pulverize and behave like liquid - such crazy and fascinating scientific knowledge! ๐Ÿคฏ Thank you to the channel for always investing in high-quality videos that truly open up our eyes. Wishing the channel continued growth and more masterpieces! ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ‘
