  • 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

      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.

    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

    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.

  • @CokeCheese

    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.

    • @zimriel

      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.

    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.

    • @trifectaofchris

    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.

  • @verdi2310

    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.
