1 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:08,930 okay so let's talk about the 2 00:00:14,450 --> 00:00:11,250 astrobiology of karabell objects a 3 00:00:17,180 --> 00:00:14,460 little more i'll focus again on Sharon 4 00:00:20,510 --> 00:00:17,190 specifically for this talk and the 5 00:00:22,660 --> 00:00:20,520 presence of oceans and spoiler alert is 6 00:00:26,660 --> 00:00:22,670 more like past oceans not current oceans 7 00:00:28,189 --> 00:00:26,670 unfortunately but keep in mind that we 8 00:00:30,410 --> 00:00:28,199 know the Pluto sharing system really 9 00:00:32,330 --> 00:00:30,420 well now compared to two other care 10 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:32,340 about objects but these results again 11 00:00:36,350 --> 00:00:35,010 are applicable to many other places and 12 00:00:38,869 --> 00:00:36,360 the reason why it's so interesting for 13 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:38,879 astrobiology is that we know of about 14 00:00:43,190 --> 00:00:41,010 say a couple hundred objects you no 15 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:43,200 larger than 200 kilometers in radius in 16 00:00:48,049 --> 00:00:45,690 the Kuiper belt and that add numbers any 17 00:00:49,910 --> 00:00:48,059 other objects to the same size in our 18 00:00:52,580 --> 00:00:49,920 solar system presumably it's the same 19 00:00:53,900 --> 00:00:52,590 thing in other solar systems as well and 20 00:00:56,029 --> 00:00:53,910 so we might be looking at the most 21 00:00:58,490 --> 00:00:56,039 common type of solid worlds in the 22 00:01:02,560 --> 00:00:58,500 universe and so if we can say something 23 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:02,570 about the astrobiology it's pretty cool 24 00:01:08,630 --> 00:01:06,090 alright so the Pluto shirin systems it's 25 00:01:10,429 --> 00:01:08,640 about a 40 astronomical units from the 26 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:10,439 Sun so for people who are not familiar 27 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:14,850 with this it's pretty far so far that 28 00:01:22,310 --> 00:01:17,130 actually the surface of sharing is only 29 00:01:25,929 --> 00:01:22,320 about 40 Kelvin as Brian mentioned so so 30 00:01:28,130 --> 00:01:25,939 Sharon I'll talk more about its 31 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:28,140 structural properties its interior its 32 00:01:31,550 --> 00:01:30,090 evolution over time and I think that's a 33 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:31,560 good complement to the compositional 34 00:01:36,770 --> 00:01:32,850 information we just got from both to 35 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:36,780 there and sharing so Sharon is about 600 36 00:01:43,069 --> 00:01:40,290 kilometers in radius and it has a 37 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:43,079 density of the 1.6 grams per cubic 38 00:01:48,260 --> 00:01:44,850 centimeter and that's about between 39 00:01:50,510 --> 00:01:48,270 water or ice and rock and so we think 40 00:01:52,420 --> 00:01:50,520 it's made of a mix of water and rock 41 00:01:54,740 --> 00:01:52,430 because we have nothing better to say 42 00:01:56,170 --> 00:01:54,750 that's pretty good assumption this seems 43 00:01:59,120 --> 00:01:56,180 to be pretty common platforming 44 00:02:01,969 --> 00:01:59,130 materials now Pluto is a little bit 45 00:02:06,980 --> 00:02:01,979 denser 1.8 grams per cubic centimeters 46 00:02:08,900 --> 00:02:06,990 but it's about the same essentially so 47 00:02:10,550 --> 00:02:08,910 Pluto and turn are not alone you've 48 00:02:12,470 --> 00:02:10,560 heard that there are four extra moons in 49 00:02:13,270 --> 00:02:12,480 the system what's very interesting is 50 00:02:15,580 --> 00:02:13,280 that 51 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:15,590 all moons and pluto and charon all 52 00:02:21,010 --> 00:02:19,010 orbits in the same plane and so rather 53 00:02:23,350 --> 00:02:21,020 than it's done that something about how 54 00:02:26,170 --> 00:02:23,360 this came to be rather than the moon is 55 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:26,180 just being captured by the system it 56 00:02:29,620 --> 00:02:27,770 looks like the entire thing form from 57 00:02:32,199 --> 00:02:29,630 the same disk and I like a mini solar 58 00:02:34,420 --> 00:02:32,209 system right and so as Brian showed this 59 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:34,430 is kind of the leading theory or 60 00:02:39,640 --> 00:02:36,050 hypothesis for the formation of the 61 00:02:42,220 --> 00:02:39,650 system and to get this to work you need 62 00:02:44,229 --> 00:02:42,230 to have two presenters collide and the 63 00:02:47,199 --> 00:02:44,239 progenitors are of size intermediate 64 00:02:49,030 --> 00:02:47,209 between between pluto and charon and so 65 00:02:51,449 --> 00:02:49,040 they have to strike I pretty much at the 66 00:02:55,390 --> 00:02:51,459 right speed the right angle but it works 67 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:55,400 and so what happens is that Pluto tends 68 00:02:59,440 --> 00:02:57,290 to form from the material that was kind 69 00:03:02,430 --> 00:02:59,450 of inside like the cores of these things 70 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:02,440 and sharing from from the outer material 71 00:03:08,500 --> 00:03:05,810 kind of the outer outer shell okay and 72 00:03:11,620 --> 00:03:08,510 whatever is left in the d'bries form of 73 00:03:13,870 --> 00:03:11,630 this moment so what's interesting here 74 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:13,880 is that keep in mind Pluto is a little 75 00:03:17,229 --> 00:03:15,290 bit denser than insurance it's a bit 76 00:03:18,610 --> 00:03:17,239 more rock rich and that's telling us 77 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:18,620 that you know if you deform from the 78 00:03:22,780 --> 00:03:20,690 materials that were inside this / 79 00:03:24,789 --> 00:03:22,790 generators in towards the center the 80 00:03:27,970 --> 00:03:24,799 progenitors must have been more rock 81 00:03:29,860 --> 00:03:27,980 wish here and more I switch here so in 82 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:29,870 other words they were probably a lil bit 83 00:03:33,490 --> 00:03:31,850 differentiated between rock and ice okay 84 00:03:35,020 --> 00:03:33,500 but it's not to say that they had a 85 00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:35,030 rocky core in an icy shell like you 86 00:03:39,310 --> 00:03:37,310 expect for Europa for example because 87 00:03:41,110 --> 00:03:39,320 otherwise showing would be completely I 88 00:03:42,729 --> 00:03:41,120 see and it's not completely actually has 89 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:42,739 some rock in it right otherwise you 90 00:03:47,380 --> 00:03:45,410 wouldn't get a density of 1.6 so we have 91 00:03:49,330 --> 00:03:47,390 to come up with a way of having the 92 00:03:52,509 --> 00:03:49,340 progenitors evolved to the point where 93 00:03:54,039 --> 00:03:52,519 they have a partial differentiation 94 00:03:56,229 --> 00:03:54,049 between ice and rock but still keep some 95 00:04:02,710 --> 00:03:56,239 rock on the outside so that was one of 96 00:04:03,789 --> 00:04:02,720 the goals of this work and we've been 97 00:04:06,130 --> 00:04:03,799 trying to understand how this 98 00:04:07,900 --> 00:04:06,140 differentiation process works so 99 00:04:09,370 --> 00:04:07,910 presumably all these objects can a form 100 00:04:14,620 --> 00:04:09,380 from a homogeneous mixture of ice and 101 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:14,630 rock that then separates and the way to 102 00:04:17,979 --> 00:04:16,130 separate ice cream rock is just to have 103 00:04:19,810 --> 00:04:17,989 going to rock fall through the ice and 104 00:04:21,219 --> 00:04:19,820 sorted by density but to get this to 105 00:04:24,740 --> 00:04:21,229 happen you need the ice to soften 106 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:24,750 sufficiently or even to melt 107 00:04:29,690 --> 00:04:27,570 this will usually happen at the center 108 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:29,700 first because the center is the most 109 00:04:34,130 --> 00:04:31,370 insulated place from the frigid surface 110 00:04:36,110 --> 00:04:34,140 right then the reason why the interior 111 00:04:38,180 --> 00:04:36,120 warms usually in insight planets is 112 00:04:40,850 --> 00:04:38,190 because you have real genic elements 113 00:04:44,780 --> 00:04:40,860 that decay and the decay reaction 114 00:04:46,700 --> 00:04:44,790 produces heat and so this is what heats 115 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:46,710 up most planets especially these guys 116 00:04:49,820 --> 00:04:48,090 who don't have tidal heating like 117 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:49,830 europower and Solaris where are the 118 00:04:55,580 --> 00:04:53,130 moons so the center will get hot first 119 00:04:58,100 --> 00:04:55,590 the rock wall separate from ice and this 120 00:04:59,510 --> 00:04:58,110 will proceed outwards so you can get to 121 00:05:01,790 --> 00:04:59,520 intermediate situations like this where 122 00:05:03,740 --> 00:05:01,800 you have a crust of undifferentiated 123 00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:03,750 material that's too frigid to kind of 124 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:05,850 separate work from ice or you can go all 125 00:05:10,280 --> 00:05:08,490 the way okay so perhaps the progenitor 126 00:05:11,990 --> 00:05:10,290 is going to stop here in this partial 127 00:05:13,850 --> 00:05:12,000 state and then to toe from from from 128 00:05:16,220 --> 00:05:13,860 this stuff and shine from from the crust 129 00:05:18,170 --> 00:05:16,230 and the ice there's one more layer of 130 00:05:20,659 --> 00:05:18,180 complication and it has to do with what 131 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:20,669 the rock looks like it's pretty hard to 132 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:23,010 tell what the rock would have been the 133 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:24,090 de planets formed from but the best 134 00:05:30,230 --> 00:05:26,370 example we have are the most primitive 135 00:05:32,810 --> 00:05:30,240 meteorites that we have in the solar 136 00:05:35,900 --> 00:05:32,820 system least altered and these are 137 00:05:38,810 --> 00:05:35,910 contracts and contracts are made from 138 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:38,820 these little controls which are little 139 00:05:42,950 --> 00:05:40,410 spheres of about a millimeter in size 140 00:05:45,020 --> 00:05:42,960 and they're suspended in this matrix of 141 00:05:48,170 --> 00:05:45,030 micron sized grains so it's a very 142 00:05:49,670 --> 00:05:48,180 particular grain grain size kind of kind 143 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:49,680 of solid right so you have big grains 144 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:53,130 and small grains if you do the math you 145 00:05:58,760 --> 00:05:55,770 find out that it the big rains settle 146 00:05:59,840 --> 00:05:58,770 much faster in water or in ice than the 147 00:06:02,360 --> 00:05:59,850 small grains with it's kind of like 148 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:02,370 dumping a big block of a big boulder of 149 00:06:06,860 --> 00:06:04,770 rock that will go gree fast but if you 150 00:06:10,219 --> 00:06:06,870 have a little bit of silt it'll take a 151 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:10,229 long time to settle and doing the math 152 00:06:15,140 --> 00:06:12,930 we find that the controls can settle to 153 00:06:16,430 --> 00:06:15,150 form the core but the matrix can stay 154 00:06:18,980 --> 00:06:16,440 suspended the mixed with the water and 155 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:18,990 the ice and kind of make maybe a med 156 00:06:24,620 --> 00:06:22,050 ocean or frozen mud and so you can get 157 00:06:28,370 --> 00:06:24,630 in addition to this this axis here you 158 00:06:29,990 --> 00:06:28,380 can get a second axis where you can have 159 00:06:32,390 --> 00:06:30,000 incomplete differentiation because some 160 00:06:34,219 --> 00:06:32,400 of the rocks taste suspended in the ice 161 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:34,229 and if you have entirely matrix grains 162 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:36,330 potentially you have never had 163 00:06:40,310 --> 00:06:37,650 differentiation the stuff always 164 00:06:47,180 --> 00:06:40,320 kind of well mix and you can have any 165 00:06:50,060 --> 00:06:47,190 sort of intermediate cases as well all 166 00:06:51,830 --> 00:06:50,070 right so what does that tell us about 167 00:06:53,060 --> 00:06:51,840 the pretenders so the again our goal is 168 00:06:55,969 --> 00:06:53,070 to get a progenitor that that's 169 00:06:58,670 --> 00:06:55,979 partially differentiated so this is a 170 00:07:00,409 --> 00:06:58,680 plot that shows the thermal evolution so 171 00:07:02,810 --> 00:07:00,419 the temperatures inside a progenitor 172 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:02,820 okay before Pluto and Charon form before 173 00:07:06,350 --> 00:07:04,410 the collision happens so from the 174 00:07:08,210 --> 00:07:06,360 formation until the time of collision 175 00:07:09,350 --> 00:07:08,220 which we assume takes place about a 176 00:07:11,140 --> 00:07:09,360 hundred million years after their 177 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:11,150 formation it doesn't really matter when 178 00:07:17,029 --> 00:07:14,130 it's about a good indicative time this 179 00:07:20,270 --> 00:07:17,039 is the temperature scale here in Kelvin 180 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:20,280 and the temperatures go from the center 181 00:07:25,580 --> 00:07:21,930 here to the surface there about a 182 00:07:26,870 --> 00:07:25,590 thousand numbers in size and so what's 183 00:07:28,790 --> 00:07:26,880 happening here is that they form pretty 184 00:07:30,620 --> 00:07:28,800 cold so you're way off to the left of 185 00:07:32,900 --> 00:07:30,630 the scale here and then because of this 186 00:07:34,730 --> 00:07:32,910 radioactive decay they heat up inside 187 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:34,740 and at some point they reach a 188 00:07:38,719 --> 00:07:36,810 temperature threshold and here the 189 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:38,729 threshold is the the melting point of a 190 00:07:43,790 --> 00:07:40,650 water ammonia mixture and we assume that 191 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:43,800 they have water and ammonia and them and 192 00:07:48,529 --> 00:07:46,050 because of melting The Rock starts 193 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:48,539 falling through the water ammonia ice 194 00:07:53,839 --> 00:07:51,570 and for Mac or we assume some fraction 195 00:07:55,460 --> 00:07:53,849 stays and finds suspended and the 196 00:07:58,279 --> 00:07:55,470 differentiation does take place all the 197 00:08:00,020 --> 00:07:58,289 way there is a crust that remains but 198 00:08:01,580 --> 00:08:00,030 with this particular model and others 199 00:08:04,719 --> 00:08:01,590 it's not very sensitive to different 200 00:08:06,379 --> 00:08:04,729 conditions you you pretty easily get 201 00:08:08,089 --> 00:08:06,389 progenitors that at the time of 202 00:08:10,070 --> 00:08:08,099 collision a partial differentiated so we 203 00:08:13,250 --> 00:08:10,080 can this way reproduce the densities of 204 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:13,260 Pluto and Charon alright so that was one 205 00:08:17,839 --> 00:08:15,090 ball the second goal is to find out what 206 00:08:19,430 --> 00:08:17,849 happens inside Sharon afterwards during 207 00:08:22,730 --> 00:08:19,440 its history so when the collision 208 00:08:23,930 --> 00:08:22,740 happens everything is kind of reshuffled 209 00:08:25,550 --> 00:08:23,940 right Sharon comes from the outermost 210 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:25,560 material but during the collision 211 00:08:29,149 --> 00:08:27,210 material gets pulverized and recreated 212 00:08:32,899 --> 00:08:29,159 homogeneously and so we assume Sharon 213 00:08:35,420 --> 00:08:32,909 forms homogeneous again but with a 214 00:08:36,980 --> 00:08:35,430 little less robbed and Pluto and so 215 00:08:42,199 --> 00:08:36,990 again it heats up until different shades 216 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:42,209 into a core and Meddy mental but now 217 00:08:47,269 --> 00:08:44,610 over time the heat builds up in interior 218 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:47,279 because the heat from the radioactive 219 00:08:50,850 --> 00:08:49,050 decay doesn't get transported outward 220 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:50,860 this fast and so 221 00:08:55,380 --> 00:08:53,410 temperatures reach the melting point for 222 00:08:59,280 --> 00:08:55,390 the ice and so you have a notion that 223 00:09:01,319 --> 00:08:59,290 lasts about two billion years and it's 224 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:01,329 it's quite a large ocean maybe 200 225 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:03,010 kilometers in thickness in this model 226 00:09:07,380 --> 00:09:05,410 but again the the model is quite robust 227 00:09:11,069 --> 00:09:07,390 here in terms of varying parameters and 228 00:09:13,650 --> 00:09:11,079 so on and then it freezes the reason why 229 00:09:16,350 --> 00:09:13,660 it freezes is that at some point really 230 00:09:18,329 --> 00:09:16,360 DK just can't compete with transport 231 00:09:20,130 --> 00:09:18,339 processes so when you have a notion here 232 00:09:22,139 --> 00:09:20,140 he gets transported by convection 233 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:22,149 instead of just conduction in the ice 234 00:09:29,930 --> 00:09:26,050 and so Sharon calls a lot faster so 235 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:29,940 eventually ocean freezes once it freezes 236 00:09:34,949 --> 00:09:32,170 again the heat transfer becomes more 237 00:09:37,110 --> 00:09:34,959 sluggish and so it it healed heat still 238 00:09:39,030 --> 00:09:37,120 builds up a little bit enough to ream 239 00:09:42,300 --> 00:09:39,040 else part of the ocean it's a little 240 00:09:43,769 --> 00:09:42,310 colder and smaller than before but we 241 00:09:45,690 --> 00:09:43,779 have this sort of secondary ocean here 242 00:09:47,370 --> 00:09:45,700 none of this is real or not but the 243 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:47,380 bottom line is that we can have oceans 244 00:09:54,900 --> 00:09:50,890 for several billion years inside share 245 00:09:56,939 --> 00:09:54,910 and that's that's take away okay so this 246 00:09:59,430 --> 00:09:56,949 is all models do we have any evidence 247 00:10:01,620 --> 00:09:59,440 that this could be the case and 248 00:10:03,329 --> 00:10:01,630 unfortunately I knew this was gonna 249 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:03,339 happen because i had the keynote and i 250 00:10:10,980 --> 00:10:08,410 forgot to okay put away the animations 251 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:10,990 okay let me show you this so i'm sharon 252 00:10:16,350 --> 00:10:14,170 remembered is this canyon here at the 253 00:10:19,110 --> 00:10:16,360 surface that that's was shown in the 254 00:10:21,060 --> 00:10:19,120 format talk and to me this Canyon is 255 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:21,070 reminiscence of a baguette as a 256 00:10:27,030 --> 00:10:23,970 Frenchman I always think of a bread 257 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:27,040 but but the analogy is actually quite 258 00:10:33,090 --> 00:10:28,930 good good because you get this when the 259 00:10:35,130 --> 00:10:33,100 baguette Rises or swells when you bake 260 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:35,140 it right and so on Sharon you get this 261 00:10:39,450 --> 00:10:36,970 little Canyon here because it looks like 262 00:10:41,730 --> 00:10:39,460 it expanded upon freezing right eye 263 00:10:43,290 --> 00:10:41,740 steaks more space than water and so if 264 00:10:45,270 --> 00:10:43,300 you freezing ocean would expect Sharon 265 00:10:48,660 --> 00:10:45,280 to kind of increase in size from 266 00:10:50,730 --> 00:10:48,670 freezing and so perhaps this giant 267 00:10:55,470 --> 00:10:50,740 system of Kenyan belts at Sharon's 268 00:10:56,580 --> 00:10:55,480 equator is a sign that university you 269 00:10:58,920 --> 00:10:56,590 would have form upon freezing at the 270 00:11:00,570 --> 00:10:58,930 ocean we can talk about dates later I've 271 00:11:02,250 --> 00:11:00,580 Ryan mentioned that most of the surface 272 00:11:04,410 --> 00:11:02,260 looks older than four billion years so 273 00:11:06,930 --> 00:11:04,420 that we put it here and I'm saying it 274 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:06,940 happens here at two billion years so 275 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:08,050 there is an issue that needs to be 276 00:11:17,970 --> 00:11:16,650 ok and then then the second interesting 277 00:11:19,830 --> 00:11:17,980 thing you can kind of see her on the 278 00:11:21,510 --> 00:11:19,840 limb and accuse them and it looks like 279 00:11:23,340 --> 00:11:21,520 this there is this very interesting 280 00:11:24,690 --> 00:11:23,350 mountain in the modes that you guess I 281 00:11:27,750 --> 00:11:24,700 might have heard from the press release 282 00:11:28,830 --> 00:11:27,760 from the new horizons team and this has 283 00:11:30,990 --> 00:11:28,840 been the puzzle we don't see this 284 00:11:34,170 --> 00:11:31,000 anywhere else in the solar system or 285 00:11:36,510 --> 00:11:34,180 maybe almost nowhere else the closest 286 00:11:38,540 --> 00:11:36,520 analogue that my advisor Steve and I 287 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:38,550 could think of is the Hawaiian Islands 288 00:11:43,410 --> 00:11:40,810 you can see here this little depression 289 00:11:45,420 --> 00:11:43,420 little deeper here around the island and 290 00:11:48,390 --> 00:11:45,430 the reason why that is is because when 291 00:11:50,580 --> 00:11:48,400 you have volcanism so the you know new 292 00:11:52,590 --> 00:11:50,590 rockets gets gets formed then there's a 293 00:11:55,890 --> 00:11:52,600 whole volcano here and it kind of ways 294 00:11:58,050 --> 00:11:55,900 on the crust and kind of flexes it down 295 00:12:00,960 --> 00:11:58,060 and so you can see the the flexure here 296 00:12:03,590 --> 00:12:00,970 so it kind of looks like this so could 297 00:12:07,230 --> 00:12:03,600 this could this be happening on Sharon 298 00:12:09,300 --> 00:12:07,240 again if you do the math you can find 299 00:12:12,090 --> 00:12:09,310 the minimum or did I guess the maximum 300 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:12,100 thickness of the crest here so that 301 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:14,050 it'll flex you know if it's paper thin 302 00:12:17,250 --> 00:12:15,970 of course it'll flex but if it's a 303 00:12:20,370 --> 00:12:17,260 hundred kilometres thick maybe it won't 304 00:12:21,930 --> 00:12:20,380 right and so you find out that if it's 305 00:12:24,630 --> 00:12:21,940 above a few kilometers it's really hard 306 00:12:27,510 --> 00:12:24,640 to flex it this way and the only way you 307 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:27,520 can get something you know solid or not 308 00:12:31,350 --> 00:12:30,010 viscous for a few kilometers is that you 309 00:12:33,870 --> 00:12:31,360 need to have a lot of heat coming under 310 00:12:35,580 --> 00:12:33,880 it because the surface is so cold here 311 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:35,590 and the only way to get so much heat is 312 00:12:42,990 --> 00:12:38,370 to have some sort of cryo magma chamber 313 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:43,000 so some sort of you know viscous ice or 314 00:12:47,310 --> 00:12:45,370 maybe liquid right under the surface 315 00:12:49,260 --> 00:12:47,320 that maybe erupts a little bit of 316 00:12:50,970 --> 00:12:49,270 material and flexes the crust or it just 317 00:12:52,980 --> 00:12:50,980 kind of comes under the crust and then 318 00:12:55,890 --> 00:12:52,990 it collapses over it in this sort of bit 319 00:12:57,930 --> 00:12:55,900 here so again I'm not saying this is 320 00:12:59,400 --> 00:12:57,940 happening today or that this has 321 00:13:02,400 --> 00:12:59,410 happened all over the history of Sharon 322 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:02,410 but perhaps you know when the last bit 323 00:13:08,130 --> 00:13:06,610 of the ocean froze the the in interior 324 00:13:09,450 --> 00:13:08,140 the ice can it took more space than 325 00:13:12,150 --> 00:13:09,460 water and kind of squeeze whatever 326 00:13:13,230 --> 00:13:12,160 pockets of water were left up to the 327 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:13,240 surface so Brad you were asking a 328 00:13:16,890 --> 00:13:14,770 question about this there how can you 329 00:13:18,390 --> 00:13:16,900 get this by squeezing water it's kind of 330 00:13:20,130 --> 00:13:18,400 a witch of shooting it up to the surface 331 00:13:24,060 --> 00:13:20,140 and kind of overcoming the negative 332 00:13:26,490 --> 00:13:24,070 buoyancy of liquid water in the ice so 333 00:13:28,620 --> 00:13:26,500 anyway just just to sum up so Sharon 334 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:28,630 Pluto likely form when to partially 335 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:31,330 differentiated progenitor is collided 336 00:13:34,980 --> 00:13:33,490 and we can reproduce the structure that 337 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:34,990 matches the densities of Pluto and 338 00:13:39,690 --> 00:13:38,290 Charon the thermal mulling strongly 339 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:39,700 suggest that churn had an ocean for a 340 00:13:44,250 --> 00:13:41,290 long time another until today but for 341 00:13:45,900 --> 00:13:44,260 civil billions of years so you know diff 342 00:13:47,550 --> 00:13:45,910 other solar systems are younger than 343 00:13:50,940 --> 00:13:47,560 ours and it's very possible that there 344 00:13:53,550 --> 00:13:50,950 are oceans in many places elsewhere even 345 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:53,560 though now i'm sharing today and it 346 00:13:58,020 --> 00:13:55,330 looks like ocean freezing shape the 347 00:14:04,780 --> 00:13:58,030 surface so that sharon actually had an 348 00:14:16,670 --> 00:14:14,480 questions remark hey good talk mark I've 349 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:16,680 set a question I'm not really a 350 00:14:22,310 --> 00:14:19,410 geologist but for like the Hawaiian 351 00:14:24,050 --> 00:14:22,320 island analogy those are thought to be 352 00:14:26,380 --> 00:14:24,060 formed by like mantle plumes which are 353 00:14:30,620 --> 00:14:26,390 different from like getting a volcano 354 00:14:32,810 --> 00:14:30,630 forming from a magma chamber so I don't 355 00:14:35,930 --> 00:14:32,820 know is it just is it just a issue of 356 00:14:39,980 --> 00:14:35,940 the size scale of the feature itself 357 00:14:42,620 --> 00:14:39,990 yeah I would say so so you know you when 358 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:42,630 you talk about mental plumes versus you 359 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:43,890 know volcanoes are rising from the 360 00:14:46,850 --> 00:14:45,690 tectonic processes and and so on someone 361 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:46,860 who's more of a geologist then we can 362 00:14:51,590 --> 00:14:49,890 correct me if I'm wrong but essentially 363 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:51,600 it's just telling you that the magma has 364 00:14:55,310 --> 00:14:53,730 a deep source and kind of very local 365 00:14:59,389 --> 00:14:55,320 source so that that's the case for the 366 00:15:00,920 --> 00:14:59,399 Hawaiian Islands the the magma chamber 367 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:00,930 here you're talking about a very small 368 00:15:04,910 --> 00:15:02,130 scale thing compared to the scale of the 369 00:15:07,009 --> 00:15:04,920 plumes or the plumes would be and who 370 00:15:08,660 --> 00:15:07,019 knows if there are plumes but the source 371 00:15:10,850 --> 00:15:08,670 of the magma is hundreds of maybe 372 00:15:12,350 --> 00:15:10,860 thousands of kilometers deep but the 373 00:15:13,910 --> 00:15:12,360 magma chamber here you're talking just a 374 00:15:16,100 --> 00:15:13,920 few kilometers right so it's just a 375 00:15:17,990 --> 00:15:16,110 little blip around the plume and maybe 376 00:15:20,689 --> 00:15:18,000 the the ascent is kind of stalled 377 00:15:24,980 --> 00:15:20,699 because again the water is supposed to 378 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:24,990 sink in ice so you know it's competition 379 00:15:29,569 --> 00:15:28,050 between the squeezing forces that and 380 00:15:31,189 --> 00:15:29,579 the pressurization that makes the fluid 381 00:15:32,930 --> 00:15:31,199 go up and the gravity that makes it go 382 00:15:34,550 --> 00:15:32,940 down and so at some point you might 383 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:34,560 reach some zone of neutral buoyancy 384 00:15:37,310 --> 00:15:35,970 where he had a little bit of 385 00:15:38,889 --> 00:15:37,320 accumulation I think that's what happens 386 00:15:43,819 --> 00:15:38,899 in their terrestrial volcanoes as well 387 00:15:48,439 --> 00:15:43,829 so yeah it's not incompatible yeah yes 388 00:15:51,350 --> 00:15:48,449 um so how is the surface age determined 389 00:15:52,790 --> 00:15:51,360 because you know generally I think about 390 00:15:55,370 --> 00:15:52,800 surface ages being determined in terms 391 00:15:57,970 --> 00:15:55,380 of crater counting but that surface to 392 00:16:00,110 --> 00:15:57,980 me does not look saturated with craters 393 00:16:02,090 --> 00:16:00,120 so I was just wondering how they 394 00:16:04,329 --> 00:16:02,100 determine the surface age yeah this is 395 00:16:08,900 --> 00:16:04,339 an excellent question and again people 396 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:08,910 more aware than you can can answer so 397 00:16:13,610 --> 00:16:11,130 the in the Kuiper belt it's it's pretty 398 00:16:15,769 --> 00:16:13,620 hard right the the absolute dating we 399 00:16:16,590 --> 00:16:15,779 get usually from critter counting comes 400 00:16:20,009 --> 00:16:16,600 from the your 401 00:16:22,019 --> 00:16:20,019 the moon so you know you can date 402 00:16:23,759 --> 00:16:22,029 originally some rocks from the moon you 403 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:23,769 know how many craters are on them and so 404 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:26,170 you have some sort of a scale it's it's 405 00:16:28,949 --> 00:16:27,490 actually really hard to extrapolate the 406 00:16:30,569 --> 00:16:28,959 scale elsewhere in the solar system and 407 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:30,579 particularly in the Kuiper belt where 408 00:16:35,790 --> 00:16:32,050 the collisional history must have been 409 00:16:38,999 --> 00:16:35,800 so different so the the way it's been 410 00:16:41,550 --> 00:16:39,009 done it's kind of 22 with models of how 411 00:16:43,769 --> 00:16:41,560 the caravel population changed over time 412 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:43,779 through collisions and so on and it's 413 00:16:49,319 --> 00:16:45,370 informed by the size distribution of 414 00:16:51,090 --> 00:16:49,329 care belt objects currently as they are 415 00:16:52,949 --> 00:16:51,100 observed so I'm kind of on the on the 416 00:16:55,829 --> 00:16:52,959 big end of it the ones that you can see 417 00:16:56,910 --> 00:16:55,839 and on the small end of it mostly it's 418 00:16:58,230 --> 00:16:56,920 built from what we're seeing on Twitter 419 00:16:59,910 --> 00:16:58,240 and Sharon said kinda it's kind of like 420 00:17:01,470 --> 00:16:59,920 a snake bites its tail right you can 421 00:17:05,669 --> 00:17:01,480 date widow and sure and based on what 422 00:17:08,100 --> 00:17:05,679 you see on them so and they've been 423 00:17:10,340 --> 00:17:08,110 competing models currently the the new 424 00:17:14,010 --> 00:17:10,350 horizons team has strongly converged on 425 00:17:16,490 --> 00:17:14,020 a single model that seems very plausible 426 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:16,500 and according to this model to the 427 00:17:21,210 --> 00:17:18,490 service efficient is really old even 428 00:17:23,250 --> 00:17:21,220 though it's spiracy created just because 429 00:17:26,309 --> 00:17:23,260 it hasn't impacted that much there 430 00:17:28,260 --> 00:17:26,319 weren't that many impactors so that you 431 00:17:29,970 --> 00:17:28,270 know that's one model that everyone's 432 00:17:32,490 --> 00:17:29,980 agreeing on but who knows right it's 433 00:17:34,289 --> 00:17:32,500 it's all model dependent our results of 434 00:17:36,630 --> 00:17:34,299 a late ocean saying that the surface is 435 00:17:38,549 --> 00:17:36,640 maybe perhaps you know or at least the 436 00:17:40,710 --> 00:17:38,559 planes are two billion years old still 437 00:17:45,810 --> 00:17:40,720 for is also model dependent so it's kind 438 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:45,820 of reaching your agreement there yeah so 439 00:17:51,930 --> 00:17:47,650 assuming New Horizons data four billion 440 00:17:54,830 --> 00:17:51,940 years is correct um I mean it is what 441 00:17:58,260 --> 00:17:54,840 you've what you found is that contradict 442 00:18:00,299 --> 00:17:58,270 new horizons I mean the if there's an 443 00:18:01,950 --> 00:18:00,309 ocean underneath for two billion till 444 00:18:04,590 --> 00:18:01,960 two billion years ago yeah doesn't 445 00:18:08,970 --> 00:18:04,600 necessarily have to show itself through 446 00:18:11,940 --> 00:18:08,980 surface features not necessarily you can 447 00:18:14,700 --> 00:18:11,950 kind of compute how much Sharon should 448 00:18:16,620 --> 00:18:14,710 have swollen you know based on how much 449 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:16,630 ocean there was so there was an ocean 450 00:18:20,730 --> 00:18:18,850 200 kilometers deep and the density of 451 00:18:22,950 --> 00:18:20,740 water is blonde at the city of Isis 452 00:18:25,169 --> 00:18:22,960 blood and Sharon should inflate by block 453 00:18:26,399 --> 00:18:25,179 and essentially you can kind of account 454 00:18:28,110 --> 00:18:26,409 for the whole extension through the 455 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:28,120 canyons for example but the canyons 456 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:29,410 themselves look 457 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:32,570 there were four billion years old so in 458 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:34,490 this sense you know it's contrary but 459 00:18:37,660 --> 00:18:36,290 perhaps the canyons are due to something 460 00:18:40,500 --> 00:18:37,670 else and they could have in a notion
