[00:00:00]What if the smallest and most ignored world in our solar system suddenly became the most powerful object in space? This is Pluto, a tiny >> [music] >> icy dwarf planet sitting far away in the dark edge of the solar system. It is smaller than our moon, >> [music] >> colder than almost anywhere on Earth, and usually forgotten by most people.

[00:00:18]But now imagine Pluto starts growing, not moving, not glowing, just growing bigger and bigger.

[00:00:25]At first [music] Pluto only becomes a little bigger, but even that changes everything because in space size means gravity.

[00:00:32]Pluto's moons, including its biggest moon Sharon, would feel a stronger [music] pull. Their orbits could wobble or shift. Now imagine Pluto becomes the size of Earth. Suddenly, it could hold a thicker atmosphere around itself. It would still be freezing cold, but under its icy [music] surface pressure and heat could melt hidden layers of ice.

[00:00:53]Deep below the crust, Pluto could hide massive [music] underground oceans. From outside it looks dead, but inside it may be [music] alive with movement. Then Pluto grows again until it becomes the size of Jupiter. Now it is no longer just strange, it is dangerous. [music] Its huge gravity would pull comets, icy rocks, and dwarf planets from the Kuiper Belt, >> [music] >> throwing them in every direction. Some of those objects could be fired toward the inner solar system, turning space [music] into a dangerous shooting gallery. But if Pluto kept growing until it became like the Sun, [music] its core could become hot enough to start nuclear fusion. Our solar system would have two suns.

[00:01:30]>> [music] >> Earth might still orbit our Sun, but the night sky would never be truly dark again.
