Underrated comment.

[@Cobra0789]

@@thesage1096 actually it's more likely that these are computer generated with a lot of artistic license, not telescopic images. For such small objects that far away, they have to use differences in transit to detect and measure them. The only images being taken is likely that of the light coming from the host star. The rest is 3D modeling with an approximation of what is believed to be the right planetary texture. Even the planets in our solar system are usually rendered this way, although with much higher accuracy as we have actual images to pull from.

[@naturaltruth1596]

Sounds like religion.... talk about a 'disadvantage'.... i.e. India: Just have to attend religious ceremonies. Just have to bathe in the Ganges.... no matter the cost to reality.... It also reminds me of the stampede in Israel. "Is this what god tells you? Do you really think he cares?" Humans wrapped this planet in plastic and sh*t all over it. Is god proud that humans have destroyed this world thru their loins? Do you really think you get sloppy seconds?

I know of one instance where a really dangerous and hectic world was used. In Mass Effect 2 the shadow broker has a base in the atmosphere of a planet close to it's sun. It gets so hot on the day side that everything burns, and so cold on the night side that everything almost instantly freezes again. On the edge there's a constant huge thunderstorm going on, sweeping across the planet. And the shadow broker flies his ship inside of that thunderstorm, following along. It gets power from the lightning strikes, and it's noted that the ship would almost instantly get destroyed if the ship's systems stopped absorbing all that energy.

[@Beryllahawk]

I would love it if Sci Show Space could explore some of the really old sci-fi speciulative fiction stories. There are so many famous ones of course - Ringworld and the Smoke Ring from Niven are two of my favorites. But there are others - short stories in which things were hypothesized that we have since discovered aren't correct. Things like Mercury being both the hottest AND coldest place in the solar system (when we thought it might be tidally locked to the Sun), or some of the colder planets being basically flammable - if you landed on them with the (then-standard) "rocket stands on its tail" thing, you'd create an inferno!

~4:20 Saturn's self-heating helium rain: Ok, so check me here: the rain falls due to gravity; friction heats the rain; heat is radiated to space. I'm going to assume we mean IR radiation here, since it's hard to have thermal excitation of space. Right? So, you're directly radiating gravitational energy into space. Energy doesn't come from a bottomless source - not even gravity: gravity is created by (or a property of) mass. So are we converting mass into heat? I mean, that's kinda what stars and fusion do already, just a LOT less quickly, but that's not something I've ever heard proposed before.

The thing is, if someone is looking to "write" about an extraterrestrial planet there needs to be "viability for life" even if it was technology built over the planet where the technology makes use of the planet to sustain the technology, like if there was reliable technology to use what's happening within the planets atmosphere just close enough to act like a nuclear reactor generator without causing the technology (or the structures at large) to be pulled into the planet. The main thing people want to write about are planets that are habitable even if it had to be made habitable like adding carbon dioxide to Mars.

A torus planet has been imagined. Now, as to whether or not its natural formation is possible, that's a debated point. On a Torus planet if the view is clear enough, you could see further looking to the east and to the west. If you're on the inner part of the Torus, you'd be able to see the other side of the Torus if the atmosphere is thin enough. Apparently, there could be a binary system of planets that orbit so close they end up touching, which would link their oceans and atmosphere if they had them. Another interesting binary imaginary planet system would get extremely close every once in a while, close enough to share atmosphere, or even possibly touch the surface before separating once again... There could be more planets orbiting a common point so that occasionally you'd see a bunch of planets in the sky at once.

This should have been titled strangest planets we can see in our neighborhood of our galaxy- certainly not strangest in the universe. That’s really hyperbolic. We lack the ability to see planets in other galaxies, and can actually only see planets in a relatively small patch of our own galaxy, and even then we can’t see most planets because their orbital period is too long, or they aren’t at the right angle to make a transit.

At 3:20 into this video , are Jupiter and Neptune actually contracting ? Is there evidence that this , contraction , by both planets is actually true .

There are also other famous exoplanets: the diamond planet, the styrofoam planet, the planet darker than coal, etc.

I have an idea about Kepler 78b; What if it was in an orbit that was shrinking, but once it reached the orbit it's in now, another body came close (like another planet, large asteroid, or moon) and gave it a boost, putting it into a stable orbit.

Wish i got to hear the whole story. The more data i get the happier i am. Fast forward it to satisfy the attention deficit viewers. What a drag man.
