A tidally locked planet would be unlikely to possess a magnetosphere due to its lack of rotation. Without that, it would be unable to retain its atmoshere and transfer heat from the light side to dark side. Most red dwarfs are what's called flare stars, frequently producing CMEs that would make our Sun's superflares look like a kitten's sneeze.

[@juliekonicke5329]

[@chucksellers8422]

I was going to write that I just don't think that there is life on tidally locked planets due to the extreme temperature differences of the 2 sides. Your argument is a better explanation..

[@nigelft]

​@chuck sellers With your example, we have already can see the effect of that, in the case of the planet, Mercury. In a Young Adult novel by Arthur C. Clarke, he speculated that if there is life, it would exist in the 'Twilight' Zone between the 'Day' Side - permanently facing the Sun - and the 'Night' Side - permanently facing away. Given the extremes, iifc (I haven't read that book in decades) then life would be in the form of giant 'beetles' far bigger than humans, that survive on the minerals in the rocks, but also uses its 'wings' as solar panel, if the terminus on the 'Day' Side shifts just slightly into the 'Twilight' Zone. I think he wrote that they were openly hostile, perhaps because they're territorial, as one threw a rock at one of the Astronauts, that was part of the first, or so, manned mission to the 'Twilight' Zone, damaging his space suit, in his legs, to the point they both had to be amputated ... I can't remember the title, but the key theme is of a young man, whom, having won a space competition to go anywhere on Earth, as a much larger space station, in LEO, has been internationally declared as being on 'Earth', he argued the point to get on board ...

Damn, you really have to sit and admire what our telescopes can do. Anxiously awaiting for the JWST photos slated to release on July 12th. I remember when I first saw the Hubble Deep Field image and was in awe when I was younger … so much from just one small spot in the sky. Then again to see the Ultra Deep Field? Made me both feel excitement and sadness. Exiting to see what we’ve been able to do with our short time here on Earth compared to the universe’s estimated age as a whole, but extreme sadness knowing that there are so many galaxies out there that we’ll never get to visit or see, let alone really know if intelligent life is on any of them. Just imagine … we sit here and dream of a day of being able to find an exoplanet that is able to inhabit intelligent life. We wonder if there could be a group out there just like us, on a planet way out there in space wandering if other life exists. It’s a wild thing to think about. You wonder if they’re advanced, going through their early years, or in a similar timeframe as we are with advancements. Can’t help but let your mind wonder to think what words they have for their everyday items, if they believed in God(s) or believe in a religion, if they ever discovered electricity, radio, or have something like the internet or even music. Saddens me to never know.

After getting over the miss-hearing of 40 trillion miles for the correct 40 trillion kilometers, I enjoyed this entry into popular understanding of how large 'space' really is and the monumental effort it will take even to get to members of our local planetary neighborhood. The narrator, Perry Ann Norton, did a most commendable job, with a very smooth and lucid tone, cutting through the sometimes over exuberant background music. I look forward to hearing Ms. Norton's voice on more video's from this channel. Overall, an outstanding production.

Why not target main sequence stars just like our sun instead of red dwarfs? Humans have a better chance of survival arround them.

[@ryanotte6737]

It may just be the practical reality that something like 70-75% of stars in our galaxy are red dwarfs and that our nearest neighbor is a red dwarf. We are training our instruments like Kepler on all types of stars, but so far as one day sending a probe, the documentary focused on the low hanging fruit proposal sending our first interstellar probe to Proxima Centauri. We could get results back in two decades rather than, let's say four for Sirius. If we get to the point of mass producing these proposed laser-sail probes, I'm sure we very well could be sending many of them to a good number of our stellar neighbors.

[@norrislaitinen5011]

You're giving the wrong examples for the habitable zone. You can't call a planet that sits on the outer edge of the habitable zone a Frozen world locked in ice. That does not put it in the habitable zone. That puts it outside the habitable zone. The habitable zone places a planet in an area where liquid water can exist on the surface. To say life may survive without night is also really stupid. Parts of the far north, as you had already said go without night for many months otn the summer. The life there does not shrivel up and die. So I think we have our answer. To state life may survive without night is just really dumb.

Or we can use one of the two nuclear drives that have been developed and travel a fraction of the speed of light and get there in 40 years. Admittedly thats still a long time, and i reckon while were perfecting the technology and developing moon bases, moon mining etc we can just send flybys to our nearest stars. By the time we get information from our probes a long time would have passed. And we could build and launch from the moon instead. If we find out a man trip wouldnt be a waste of time we could even end humans

[@olddave5084]

Same answers as usual. New Horizont was the fastest space probe the mankind sent into the void. It took 10 years to reach Pluto, those are 0,015 % of the distance to this exoplanet. Once again the myth of mankind saved by an unknown technology, after having doomed the Earth, which is about to be transformed into a dead world for ages. The problem with most of people believing this kind of myth, is that they don't realize what it means being 4 light years away: we're not talking about distance here, but sacetime, meaning all what we see is not to reach anymore for EVER, thousands of years away from us... don't you catch up that simple thing, that those worlds are there, but for ever out of reach?

A more realistic location for the light sail launch system is actually the dark side of the moon, considering that our natural satellite is tidally locked to us, building a high powered laser battery there would present no danger to earth ever and thus be a much easier sell to the nations of earth, and the lack of an atmosphere would enable the lasers to get much more propulsion to the sails of the micro probes.

[@artemismoonbow2475]

Serious question: Wouldn't that mean that they would be effectively "off line" for two weeks a month as the moon orbits the earth? I suppose the same is true on ground based systems, but the cycle would be daily. I suppose 12 hours daily vs 2 weeks monthly isn't an issue in the void and over 20 years. And the answer isn't going to change my life, but this is a comments section and I'm curious.

[@krshna77]

There is no 'dark side' of the moon... But if you mean the *far* side, that would unnecessarily bring HUGE extra costs for the ground structure, just for lifting all the lasers, dishes, generators/solar batteries and all other equipment all the way into space, then lunar transfer, then deorbiting everything, assembling, etc. Not the mention the costs of maintaining a human base there, with everything that it requires. Or alternatively having an AI automated infrastructure to deal with deploying the laser array, which would bring even MORE HUGE costs of manufacturing, carrying to the moon, etc etc etc etc. Are you even serious.
