The Closest Alien Planets
Ғылым және технология
As the James Webb telescope becomes operational, we'll soon start receiving more data than ever before on the exoplanets nearest to us. The only problem is.... what ARE the exoplanets nearest to us? Today we're taking a look at our closest neighbors to see what our chances of finding alien life are close to home.

The red dwarf being more common is a dual factor, of which you only mentioned one. A smaller star requires less gas to form, i.e. more can be formed from the same material available aka more are created. They also burn dimmer but for longer than the larger stars do, therefore the ones formed stick around for longer. So more are formed, and the ones that are formed stick around for longer, giving us two reasons to see more of them
I'm so glad you made a channel like this! You are one of my favorite geography content creators, and now you've crossed over into my other favorite topic of astronomy! Please keep up the amazing content. I can't get enough!!

@@mtgoat179 Why are you asking me? I’m not an astronomer, physicist, etc. I literally go to school for art, space is just pretty. Unless you want a public opinion, then I think plants definitely count as life. Thing is for reference of our own history, animals evolved shortly after plants but only after fungi already did, as we are more closely related to a hallucinagenic mushroom that’ll give you a good time than the hemp that provides the cannabis. If a planet is more resembling to fungus, that counts too. But regardless, plants indicate life more as animals move around all the time, a plant is reliably stationery.

I'm loving all your videos so far!
Everyone asks “what da dog doin” but no one is asking “how da dog doin”
Actually, the JWST wasn't primarily designed to sus out exoplanet details. It can do some of the work, but only if that work can be done in the infrared spectrum. TWINKLE, PLATO, ARIEL, and hopefully in the future, HabEx, are specifically designed to characterize exoplanet atmospheric composition and other relevant parameters to quantify habitability.
Your two channels are my favorite between all those im subscribed to. Your videos are a treat! And I'd absolutely love an astrobiography video
Fantastic you made this channel! Can't wait for new videos.
Love the Chanel! Its great to have someone finally covering the topics you do! One thing that I always think about when I hear about new planets being discovered is wanting to go and explore them somehow someway, but when you realize that the mass of the planet, also equates to the gravitational force on the planet (1 earth mass = 1 G of force) so if a planet has 4x the mass of earth, it is going to have 4 G of force on it, an average 200 lb man on earth is going to weigh 800 lbs on the new planet, so it's not like you would be able to pick yourself off the ground let alone walk around on this new planet. I am going to watch your video on habitable exoplanets next, hoping you have this in the equation in that video
Discovered your channel! Great job keep up the great work!
i love the space videos, keep em coming!!
Your channel is criminally underrated
I didn't remember watching this a few months ago, but I liked it over there so I assume that I did. I had always thought of the astro side as a continuation of geography and biology, but you do you, bro

8:54 I see you are a Avatar: The Last Airbender Fan. I am in good company. 👊🏾
Great video and good work. Like you stated, many of these systems likely harbor smaller worlds and moons that we simply cannot yet see due to our technological limitations. Even Alpha Centauri A and B almost certainly have one world according to the data. It has simply proven a difficult system to investigate.

I remember hyping the Alpha Centauri system when they mooted it in the mid 2010s and... getting burned, when they retracted their findings. (Our host might have flashed a screencap or two about the hype, but I'm actually glad he didn't, because I might have started weeping. What an embarrassment that was.) Proxima's system by contrast has held up.
not enough videos, they are addicting
I wonder if any life out there in a different system, has observed our planet and talks about how intriguing the possibility of life on it could be....
First video of yours I’ve stumbled across and loving the content so far! A question I wonder about the potential habitability of Proxima Centauri’s planets (barring radiation death), is what effect does the primary sun being a red dwarf have on biological bodies? I’m assuming it’s giving off less heat and light in general, as well as a creepy red glow over everything.

If the distance between Proxima Centauri and A & B isn’t massive, I suppose the other stars could supplant the necessary light requirements?

I hate to be the guy who asks "Link??" but, I'm honestly asking, I'd like to watch this. I was under the impression there was research about "Goldilocks Worlds" which claimed that K stars were better than even our G star here. Although there was some talk lately that K stars emit almost the same infrared as G stars so the "habitable zone" would likely be just another Venus zone. Anyway like I said, link plz
Thank you for making the pluto and this video. It really bridges the gap in high school astronomy to the dense craziest of college astronomy where they talk endlessly about some planet or nebula billions of light years away with no meaning to us or relations towards our galaxy or solar system.
you mentioned how one side facing the star (tidal locking) seems to be the norm for planets orbiting dwarf stars, this is because objects become tidally locked quicker when what they orbit is closer / bigger. This is why the moon is tidally locked to the earth, but earth will not be tidally locked to the sun for perhaps many billions of years, though Venus and mercury are.
Can u do a video on what’s the solar system boundaries
Some scientists now think red dwarfs may only flare at their poles. This would make the habitable zone plants safer from radiation
Nice!
I wonder what happens to the older videos. I had them saved and downloaded 🤔
Astro Pro 😁
in the back ground i see that you use space engine. i love that game
New intro? Doesn’t matter to me, just curious, love the work!

You are underrated
Atlas pro = Astro pro
yes
More like this
The blue purple pink planer is so pretty
any updates on the jwst for exoplanets?
14:34 Tidal locking can also be on a 3:2 resonnance, like Mercury or Venus, and the planet could have a (quite slow) day/night cycle, which would help to regulate the temperature on the surface quite a bit. 24:50 O and B stars are very unlikely to have any planets around, for 2 main reasons. One, their intense light and UV radiation quiclky blast away and ionize the protoplanetary disk around them, makin acrretion of materials very difficult, if not impossible. And lastely, their very short lifetime (especialy for Early B and O stars) is incompatible with the time necessary to form planetary bodies.
nice
I liked coming back to this after Starfield released to see how many of the discovered planets were in it given the catalog name of the stars in the game
You the best
Space AND biology yes pls
would the tidally locked planet have an active dynamo at all?
Thank you. Very interesting. Btw I am watching you from Russia

Has anyone gotten time to find Planet X. Tracking the proposed orbits focusing on its likely distances and then farther and closer . the three prong approach would make many other discoveries along the way to proof to its existence or fantasy.
An amazing channel. Not only do you not use the words Shocking Discovery in the headline but it's your real voice and sartorial elegance. More importantly, the question you raise are interesting. How would a being living in a twilight zone measure time? And how does the age of a system effect things? I think Epsilon Eridani is a quite young system.

Re: Proxima D is likely thoroughly scorched? I dunno. Remember we're probably talking about a tidelocked world. There could be some pretty unexpected stuff happening so long as it can maintain liquid water on the margin or on the cold side and doesn't enter a moist greenhouse state.

All these types of videos should start with the disclarmer "life as we know it". We know so little, it's best not to make too many assumptions about how life can or can't occur out there. Also I can't image how it would be to live in the moon of a gas giant, and what crazy mythos might emerge from sentient races living in them.
