    I hear "forty light-years" and start feeling as though that's super-close compared to everything else in the cosmos. Then I remember that the Voyager probes haven't even gotten one _light-day_ away from Earth.

      Yeah, it does sound close until you remember just how fast light travels. I doubt humans will ever make it that far away from earth. The best we can probably do is send robots/ai once we can accelerate a ship to a meaningful fraction of the speed of light.

    no panic, surface gravity is 31,8 m/s² on LHS 1140b. It's really hard to get off Earth with s.g. of 9,8 m/s². So probably they can't leave their planet. The escape velocity must be huge. For those who want to go there: you can check in every time you like but you can never leave lol

      The formula for the escape velocity is v = sqrt(2gr), where g is the gravitational acceleration on the surface and r is the radius. So LHS 1140b has around sqrt(6) times the escape velocity on earth. And it also gets easier with more height. So I think that‘s not too high but of course also not that easy.

Maybe there's a place out there that can house us and maybe there's a place that can do it better, we should totally be looking and if we can make it happen all the better. But there's still going to be only one place we evolved in.

    • @marcozelioli
      @marcozelioli 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      That sounds like a fire concept! Just imagine how life could adapt to such conditions!
      There could be some creatures that go into hybernation until the moon blocks out the scorching sun again. There could be swarms of flying/ jumping, migrating insectoids following the shadow of the moon. Fish that come to the surface when the moon covers the sun and dive back into the depths when it moves on. There could be swarms of flying tartigrade/ plancton-like creatures escaping the heat by flying high above the surface when the sun shines and only coming back down to mate when the moon blocks out the light.
      And let's not even get started on the plants! They would probably be much lighter colors like white/ silver (similar to the desert ant) to reflect most of the light. These flowers would bloom during the eclipse when the moon blocks out the sun. There could be entire ecosystems of floating reflective algea/ plants where underneath fish live in the root system and provide important nutrients.
      Obviously, your idea needs some more polishing, I think in order to make it work, you would need at least 2 stars to illuminate both sides of the planet constantly.
      The ideas here are endless. You could call the book something like "scorching" or "eclipse".

    Frozen on the dark side, but not necessarily frozen all the way down. Water ice is a good insulator, & esp if there is internal geological activity or strong tidal forces, there could easily be liquid oceans under the ice on the dark side. It would be a very interesting biosphere if there was one.

      However, as the other commenters pointed out I think as long as they could develop scientific methodology they would be able to determine that their world was round. For example, they could look at the angle their sun makes at the same “day” and time in different parts of their “eye”.

      If the planet was an ocean world, the night side would be more impassable than the Arctic Ocean. Add an Earth-like atmosphere and there would be a massive thermal where its sun would be at the zenith, driving convective wind currents and making the temperature difference less extreme. There could even exist a perpetual storm at that point.

    Correction: If a tidally locked planet is mostly rock, but has enough water
    to cover it completely, and is cold enough that said water is frozen, except
    in the substellar region, then, in the long run, the result would have to be that:
    • The substellar region becomes a desert, surrounded by a massive wall of ice,
     ice that is continually melting; thus there should exist permanent rivers and lakes.
    • The wall of ice is constantly creeping inward (toward the substellar point),
     pushing rock along, like a bulldozer, and this would pile up into mountains,
     but running water and creeping ice would carve deep canyons.
    • All the evaporating water forms a perennial ring of snowing clouds.
    • Around the substellar point, there should be a landscape gradient suitable
     for savannah, “lake region,” forest, montane ecosystems, and tundra.

      Much depends on the temperature of the dark side of the planet. If it's cold enough to freeze the inert gas in the atmosphere (nitrogen) then there might be little atmosphere at all.

    If we can get Breakthrough Starshot tech to be common place, perhaps launched from the moon, we would learn so much more about the cosmos. It would be great if LHS 1140b had rotation, and land. Trappist and LHS are basically 40 light years away- not terribly far given cosmic distances. Thanks Anton.

    So an eyeball frozen water world, that's interesting. I'm imagining a world that's probably not this one but just a bit hotter where the water on the closest part where the melted patch is evaporates away. Then the water vapor is caried to the far side and falls as snow that builds massive ice sheets until nearly all the water is ice on the far side and the near side is a desert. But the mass of the ice on the far side pushes glaciers toward the hot side all around the planet. And the glaciers melt into rivers that flow into the desert and dissappear into the sand but with greenery on their banks.

    It would certainly be an interesting world to study up close. Being that large it's more likely to have held onto some atmosphere, and a magnetic core could be possible. It also may not have had active plate tectonics like our planet if it ever did, since a similar moon to ours is highly unlikely to stick around if it even forms. Any water would mean it has some interesting chemistry on the surface, especially if it isn't alive and the planet is as earthlike as it currently seems.
    It kind of sounds like darwin IV being so close, and considering everything else.

  • @charlesjmouse

    Very interesting, thank you again.
    Ordinarily when I hear of planets around red dwarfs that 'may be suitable for life' I automatically think "ah, no." Tidally locked planets close-in to such 'flare stars' will be at very best barren rocks...
    ...but an 'ice-shell world' with or without an 'eye' with an abundance of water may be in a better position than most to be technically habitable. I hope now or in the near future we will have the ability to check such bodies in greater detail.*
    *My gut tells me the solar system is an island with life in a very large and barren universe. Indeed, it's very likely that even here only Earth has life. But that's no reason not to look, and I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

There'd be no continents like here, hence the name ocean world. Water makes up roughly 0.023% of earth's mass. With an ocean world that's roughly 20 to 50% of the mass.

It discusses observations of rapidly rotating, fully convective red dwarf stars, confirming that their flare activity occurs at higher latitudes, sparing any equatorial orbiting planets from being bombarded. Life might then find a way exist.
