Outer Solar System is a Science video of BrainPOP aired on May 14, 2002. A close-up image of the planet with a question mark in the middle of it is shown against a night sky. TIM: Like the stuff in the Kuiper belt, objects in the Oort cloud are thought to have originated way back when the solar system was just starting up. Two inserts appear. TIM: Plutos moons, Charon, Hydra, and Nix, are also Kuiper belt objects. TIM: So the search for Planet X was kind of pointless An animation shows the camera panning across stars in the night sky. For all eleven planets, each ellipse lies entirely within the surrounding ellipse. An animation shows the blue-green planet with its tilted rings. ","What is the Sun? TIM: Yup, Pluto is also a Kuiper belt object. ","What is in the outer Solar System? TIM: Other large Kuiper bodies include Orcus, Quaoar, and Varuna. The one on the left shows the Pioneer 10 spacecraft and the one on the right shows the Pioneer 11 spacecraft. TIM: First of all, anything that orbits the sun farther than the planet Neptune is called a trans- Neptunian object. An animation shows Earth from outer space, with Moby's arms extending around the planet in a giant hug. "},"flag":{"type":"flag","instructions":"Create a flag that represents the solar system.
