Have you read the short story "Night Fall" by Isaac Azimov? This was a story about people living on a planet in a system with multiple stars that never saw darkness. One day there was an eclipse and not only did they see darkness for the first time, but they also saw the dark sky filled with the stars outside their own system, and their civilization collapsed.

It’s coz, in the story, the inhabitants of this planet have evolved to be afraid of the dark (they do have darkness in caves etc.), and this eclipse, which occurs every 2,000 years and lasts several hours, is enough to end the civilisation every 2,000 years

Remember that this is scaled up a bit from a planetary scale.Close orbits of more than two stars is probably less stable, and therefore much rarer. And long orbits are so long that it's basically an extra star from our perspective. Like Proxima. It is orbiting the two other stars there, but about 0.2 light years away from them. If you're on a planet orbiting Proxima you'd just have two bright stars in the night sky, not two additional suns. And if you were orbiting the other two or one of the other two, you wouldn't even be able to see Proxima without a telescope. They are barely any closer to it than we are here and very faint.

I was gonna add something I knew from studying this on my own before finishing the video because it seemed like you were wrapping up but then you addressed most of it. Only other thing is that iirc it's statistically more likely for the few planets that ARE found in binary systems to be in the system's habitable zone because in most systems that would be within the much narrower range in which a planet could actually maintain a stable orbit to begin with. However, that doesn't necessarily apply to larger multiple star systems, which are far rarer to begin with due to the three-body problem.

Well done, a rarely covered subject interestingly explained.

So true 😂

There are many other types of possible orbits that aren't ellipses, such as ones that shift from one barycenter to another. These can be stable if the planet has a resonance with both barycenters, such as two orbits around the first, followed by three around the second, then back to two around the first again, and so on. There's also degenerate orbits, where the planet sits motionless at a barycenter of two stars, or even weirder, oscillates up and down along a line perpendicular to the stellar plane at that barycenter. Depending on models used for star system formation, stable non-elliptical orbits are somewhere between vary rare to virtually impossible. But in the vast multitude of star systems, there's probably a few of these out there.

@Dragrath1

3 жыл бұрын

The question though is stable for how long with time unusual orbits are far more likely to be disrupted as they depend on a number of special circumstances like resonances to be maintained. He also pointed out that more massive stars have a higher rate of occurring in multistar systems ranging from virtually all O and B stars to less than a quarter of M dwarfs so statistically that is likely to skew things a bit.

@tumu_bandit

For general purposes you can think of the multiple stars as a single star. If we are in a planet that's inside the Goldilocks zone then it wouldn't be so much different due to the long distance between any habitable planets and the barycentre. But yeah if they are smaller stars then there's a case of having perpetual day (even in case when the planet is not tidal locked) or atleast close to it.

@iamdmc

3 жыл бұрын

​@@tumu_bandit While a binary star system may have two stars that orbit each other (or a point where their gravities balance), there is little reason to expect that the orbit of their exoplanets would be stable as the gravity they experience increases and decreases Add a third star to the mix, and it's likelier that the orbits become unstable

@adm0iii

3 жыл бұрын

If the stars orbit very close to each other, or very far from each other (or some of each), then the system is just about as likely to have a Goldilocks zone as a single-star system; the pair of close stars effectively act as a single star for determining the zone, and any very far stars have negligible influence on the zone. But for the same reasons, such systems wouldn't have much effect on day/night cycles. A close pair of stars would rise and set within an hour of each other, and the far stars wouldn't be bright enough to turn night into day, similar to the way our Full Moon just makes it a bit less dark. So systems with Goldilocks zones tend to have day/night cycles, and vice versa. But there's bound to be a few exceptions. Note that if a planet is tidally locked to a star (or close pair of stars), it will have one side in permanent day and the other in permanent night.

True story.

looks at device, thinks ho hum.... then Hurray!! .. an Astrum video :-) and weirdly was thinking i must look this topic up just a few days ago, thanks again

I’ve been curious about this topic for like 20 years. This video was done really beautifully. Thank you! *drools rainbow*

Love this. Great upload.

I know this is off topic but I was trying to imagine what our galaxy would look like from a planet orbiting a rogue star at say 100,000 light years from the galactic plane.

These exist. There are planets in the Magellanic cloud dwarf galaxies that orbit the Milky Way. Instead of seeing the Milky Way as we do -- only edge-on from the inside with much of it blocked by interstellar dust and gas -- they'd see the it as a full spiral covering half their night sky.

I'd very much like to see a representation of that. :) I keep trying to find what Pluto's largest moon, Charon, looks like from the surface of Pluto. It's so close that apparently it would be quite stunning

I wonder if it is possible for planet to have a permanent solar eclipse. If the moon of a planet is the right size and has the right orbit can it just perpetually block out the star?

Well you can, as long as the moon’s orbital period is as long as the planet’s orbital period

@@James-le8gd Hm, not in my "back of the napkin" thinking. That would require a star to be orbiting a planet. And then that star happens to be the same orbital period of the moon that is blocking its light. Which is of course an orbit that is not possible. Now, a moon with an atmosphere that is in eclipse might be something incredibly stunning.

Imagine a permanently lit planet from 3 or more stars.

If it had intelligent life, the effect on evolution, vocabulary, and culture. What determines day and night. Is there fear, or celebration upon alignment? Look how our astrology, and eclipses have affected us.

Me too. This was more complicated than I thought it would be, and I couldn't see the planets

Just imagine the kind of stories people would make with binary stars as sun their mythology and philosophy and beliefs would be really interesting

Brilliant video, thank you.

Super interesting. I enjoyed this immensely!

You mentioned that "most" planetary systems contain a singular star. This is surprisingly incorrect; according to The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation of Australia, "up to 85% of stars are in binary systems with some in triple or even higher-multiple systems." Edit: You corrected yourself at the end of the video, I was referring to the statment made towards the beginning.

Hoping to see more multi star systems in sci fi. IMHO, they're indeed as alien as possible

if you apply that logic: since gravity has no range limit, technically the whole universe is an even bigger multi-star system.

Another beautifully made video!

This was an interesting topic to learn. My fascination for cosmos has increased a little more after watching this comprehensive explanation. Beautifully explained with charts, images, animations etc., and simple language. Please accept my gratitude for teaching me something. Thank you for making a video on a nice topic.

I feel like I’ve just watched a thing on circuitry. Wasn’t a fan of the diagrams used in this video. Just found it more confusing. Much prefer seeing the examples as a series of rings/solar system personally. As for quality tho, A+ again man! :)
