    2:54 So cool! I'm an atheist, but I would think it can't help but feel a little godlike, moving the most massive stars around like marbles...and then watching those marbles interact on the curved surface of spacetime. Just WOW.

    You explained wolf rayet stars very clearly, in fact I can say you explained it better than my astronomer dad who first described them to me and his description wasn't that easy to understand for people not in the field. Very nice job man! 👍

    I have recently started watching your videos and they are actually really good! I like watching Universe Sandbox and Space Engine when people know what they're talking about and on a regular basis. I'm surprised you don't have even more subscribers, your videos are really good quality!

    can you do videos where you just explore space engine, like get lost in different galaxies and find different kind of stars and planets and other celestial bodies? And ofcourse while you explain stuff too

    One of the most likely and darkest ways they are formed is by looking at clues from their companion star(or even stars).
    The most likely formation is when a supergiant has lost its own outer layers by a vampire star or a black hole.
    Wolf rayet stars have more in relation with white dwarfs than other supergiant stars(mainly due to their composition and the lack of hydrogen envelope).
    The system often starts with a red dwarf star(red dwarf can outlive their companion stars and in the process even start becoming more likely as a culprit)orbiting around a blue giant star, but as the blue giant star swells up into a supergiant star.
    The red dwarf stars gravitational forces will then steal the outer layers of that supergiant star and over time the red dwarf star will eventually become a blue straggler giant star, and then what’s left of that supergiant star is the giant core that is now called a wolf Rayet star(or a massive white dwarf if it less massive).

    If my sources are correct, and my calculations aren't wildly off, then the number of neutrons in the observable universe is approximately (by that I mean give or take a few digits) 1.194x10^94. I did this by calculating the number of neutrons in the solar system, multiplying that by 2 trillion (number of solar masses in Galaxy) then taking that and multiplying that by the estimated number of galaxies in the universe: 150 billion.

    Why do most large stars instantly go supernova as soon as you turn on the "Realistic" switch? Is it based on age? I tried making them younger and turning on the realistic switch had the same effect.

      it takes a long time for the energy from the core of a star to reach the surface, and light moves at a finite speed.

    The rarest type of binary pair is not a binary of wolf Rayet stars?
    But rather a binary system involving a wolf rayet star and a dead white dwarf star!?
    The reason I consider this star system model the rarest is mainly because of age and how long it takes to make a white dwarf star?!

    • @pokegen2000
      @pokegen2000 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Well, if you did somehow manage to shrink a star to that size without it collapsing in on itself, I think it would be a very faint brown star, a star not big enough to create nuclear fusion meaning it has a very low temperature so in theory you could touch it

    • @thamastersmooth
      @thamastersmooth 8 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @user-roninwolf1981
    @user-roninwolf1981 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    From what I'm taking away from this, Wolf-Rayet stars sound like they are almost like aggregate stars; like a cluster of stars packed in really close together, if different cells of the photosphere are producing different elements. My interpretation is that the star diffused into several stars, still bound together like a cluster of bubbles still adhered to each other, just as the main star is about to go supernova.
    I almost interpreted the whole spewing of gas out as the star "farting" itself to extinction. My question is, do these stars release these bursts of gas in series, or is it all lost in one incident?
