You'd expect the second star to disrupt the planets' orbits pretty quickly. Looking forward to seeing more about this system. Thanks, Anton.

@gregdamario5808 29 күн бұрын

Yes! With a second star circling "Jupiter close" every 230 years, how did either star form planets and even if so, how does either star keep any planets? These are STAR level masses entering the interiors of each other's solar systems. The Oort Clouds, the Kuiper Belts and all the planets of both stars would either be flung out of the systems or slowed in orbit to crash into the stars, wouldn't they? This is more than weird.

@zimriel 29 күн бұрын

There's maths in the paper; the system is stable. Or to put it another way: the mutual orbit of these stars constrains possible inclinations and masses of the giant interior candidate planet "b".

@TanyaLairdCivil 29 күн бұрын

@@gregdamario5808There are resonances and points of stability even within such a system. It is within those stable resonances that planets form. Consider how Pluto is able to stay inside the Solar System, even though its orbit crosses that of Neptune. This is possible because Pluto and Neptune are in resonance. Pluto and Neptune pass through the same space, but never at the same time. Whenever Pluto crosses Neptune's orbit, Neptune is on the far side of the Solar System. Something similar would happen in this star system. Whenever the second Sun comes barreling through, everything that sits near that orbital distance would be far away.

When the "three body problem" appears to have no real-world stable solutions, I am extremely surprised that a binary system can include one star having multiple planets, especially, as noted, when one star is in an extremely eccentric orbit that approaches the other star every 230 years.

People living on a moon orbiting this warm Neptune would have regular day & night cycles, as well as big nights when it transits behind the planet. They'd also get some really weird weather every two & a half centuries, as the second star of their binary system swings back through its perigee.

@rangaweerakkody165 29 күн бұрын

Even if it is a sun sized star, distance of 4AU is not good enough to drastically heat up a planet which is around 1AU around. The additional energy would be around 1/16th increase. Given the second start is smaller, this value will further decrease. But it may stir up meteor showers of unbelievable magnitudes.

@_ninthRing_ 29 күн бұрын

@rangaweerakkody165 Sorry I wasn't clear. I was actually thinking in terms of how the secondary star would affect the Coronal Dynamics of the primary. I suspect that this would lead to quite an increase in Ultraviolet rays hitting the moon's stratosphere, as well as Solar Energetic Particles (from solar flares or even coronal mass ejections) agitating the magnetosphere of the Neptunian planet - both of which would do freaky things to the weather patterns of this hypothetical pseudo Earth-like moon.

@user-li7ec3fg6h 21 күн бұрын

Well said! Wikipedia has also no such name explanation for Percival like in the Video, but it does refer to the knight of the same name in the Grail story of King Arthur. However, it is also reminiscent of another very old german legend by Eschenbach from the 12th century called Parzival or the famous opera by Wagner called Parsifal and its main character of the same name. At its core, this is an old tale about a man who has to pass a test and is transformed by an adventure. These legends played a major role in the education of knights in the Middle Ages. It was always about so-called knightly values. Unfortunately, too often the mistake is made of not recognizing what contemporary designations or names are based on. Different spellings in different languages can often be decoded phonetically. Many names given by astronomers go back to really old stories.

The planet is shorter year, thus closer orbit than Earth, so would be warmer. Our Moon and even Mars are not large enough to keep water at that distance. So anything to have water would require a moon about Earth size to have water. Unlikely with a Neptune size planet to have a moon that large, unless captured. So most moons would be airless/waterless. Anton may have over hyped it.

I have no direct experience, but for some reason academia appears to be a cut-throat business. I've read about & listened to many examples in history where one person would take credit for an idea proposed by a colleague, leaving the colleague bereft of credit. Examples I can recount: The story of graduate student Jocelyn Bell, who discovered the first pulsar, (using radio astronomy) comes to mind. Another instance was where Bret Weinstein communicated to a colleague his theory that cancer research mice may be predisposed to developing elongated telomeres. This eventually lead to the colleague taking share in a Nobel Prize, based on Bret's theory, but leaving Bret bereft of due credit. The lesson: If you stumble upon a novel idea or theory, collaborate only with those you deem trustworthy and personally see it through to its conclusion.

@caejones2792 29 күн бұрын

Everything about this system makes me less optimistic about its possession of habitable Planetary Mass Objects. First, isn't the current best model that hot Jupiters form past the frost line, then migrate inward over time due to tidal interactions with the rest of the system? What that suggests to me is that both planets are the survivers of catastrophic restructuring of the system, presumably helped along by the second star. Second, while some sort of stable resonance seems essential to keep these planets where they are, all the tidal variation on geologically short time scales makes it seem like large moons would be in jeopardy of being lost. And third, how big a moon are we expecting? Nothing necessarily constrains Percival from having a max moon size like the top 7 moons in our system, but it is a bit telling that we have four planets with large moons, and all of them fall into a relatively narrow range of sizes and masses. Since the gravitational situation in this system differs in significant ways from that of our system, and the signs are that these planets are migrants rather than forming near their current positions, that all makes me wonder if large moons stand a chance of surviving. And finally, accepting that, in spite of the difficulties, Percival could have a large moon (which I'm already predicting we'll name Penelope or Ariana), isn't it likely to have more in common with Earth's moon than Earth? Smaller than Earth, hotter, probably drier? Heck, if this hypothetical moon is captured from the leftovers of the hot Saturn's migratory destruction, I'd expect it to be even drier than Luna, because volatiles would have had a harder time surviving the migration than rock. Don't get me wrong; the system everyone's excited about does sound cool and it'd be awesome if it turns out closer to the optimistic versions. But I'm kinda feeling more optimistic about Proxima B, which we know is bombarded with superflares and probably lots of asteroids.

Wonder how they’ll observe these Moons, it may be silly but maybe the Gas Giant will be a very tiny coronagraph that will block out some of the star’s light making it slightly easier to see the moons?

I guess the second star would not disrupt habitability. Earth is 1AU from our Sun, so a similar star that is for example 4.5AU away would be about 1/20th as bright as the Sun. Our Sun produces 100 kilolux of direct sunshine at Earth's surface, which reduces to 1 kilolux on an overcast day. So a second star yielding 1/20th of that would be 5 kilolux extra, which isn't much comparatively, and certainly clouds would produce more variation than that second star's presence would. It might still heat the planets up a little more than usual, but the elliptical nature of orbits and seasons could already have a larger effect. They might have a slightly milder winter or a slightly hotter summer for a time.

@carlossaraiva8213 29 күн бұрын

This is definately one of the most interesting star systems i ever heard of. I suspect the smaller orbiting stsr will not add much to the heat received on the planet in the habitable zone. Thanks to the square by the distance rule. Even if the orbiting star was Sun-like it would still have a negligent add to the energy recieved by the habitable zone planet given it is 5 AU away. Just think of how cold it is the region of Jupiter's orbit that is 4.5 AU away from our Sun where ices prevail.

Some moons around the planet in the habitable zone would def have atmospheres

Its where one of my alien world DnD setting is IRL. It has weather mechanics because a gas giant swinging an earth like planet around will make the seasons and climate very different.

The weather on the planet or any moons around it would be nightmarish whenever the other star comes within close range. It might even be so destructive life would be impossible.

I still say we should count exoplanets in units of "keps" where kep = kilo-exoplanet. And it's short for Kepler, the space telescope that found thousands of exoplanet candidates. Use "kep" the way you use "dozen" but it's 1000 not 12.

Please correct me if I'm wrong (and I'm SURE someone will!!🤣) but Percival was one of the Knights of the Round Table, i.e. King Arthur. Also the main characters' alternate ego in Ready Player One (LOVED the book, the movie was meh). It seems rather odd that a binary with kind of eccentricity hasn't ejected a bunch of planets yet. It must have one helluva resonance!

I never watched Harry Potter, but Sir Percival is a character from Arthurian legend; one of King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table. Sir Percival is often celebrated for his quest to find the Holy Grail.

Imagine what Earth would be like if every 10 generations the 2 main seasons would be "no night" and "super-hot-and-bright daytime" for half a century.

Are Exoplanets inhabited by huge insects with exoskeletons? Makes sense to me.

So when we do find a planet we can live on, what will be the First thing we check for? It will probably be in a star system we know nothing about and a system where we don't know anything about. How will we know that planet isn't in the path of a planet killer before we try to set up living there? Sorry if this is a dumb question

@dreadogastusf3548 29 күн бұрын

Not a dumb question. But be reassured. Before we would go to the immense effort to send people that far, it would be thoroughly investigated. Better telescopes than we have now would have looked long and hard. At least one very fast probe ship would have gone and taken a close look at the system. When the colony ship arrived, they could get a much more detailed look for dangerous asteroids. And with the advanced space travel capability, steering planet killers out of the way would be fairly easy.

Yes. They are in the research paper upon which this video is based. Follow the link in the description.

Is there an undereporting on possibilities on moons do you think? Or are some of them clearly to write off in spite of a probable numbers likelihood advantage? I'm gathering more difficulties in finding them but that could be giving us a bit of a blind spot in our estimations?

I don't know why "Habitual zone" is still a thing. We've all but proven life could exist outside our hab zone in the various moons of gas & ice giants in our solar system.

@eldersedai870 29 күн бұрын

It's still the space where liquid water is likely to exist on the surface of a planet, instead of just underground oceans like europa. If we're going to contact another intelligent civilization out there, it's probably not going to be one that's stuck under a layer of ice on the surface.

I wouldn't think planetary moons in that system would exist due to the perturbations caused by the binary star given how close it comes...

Hello Dear, Wonderful Anton! I am wondering, if one of the stars in a binary system has planets, would there be a noticeable gravitational affect when the other star makes a clise orbit? Hiw about if both stars have planets? Something to " chew " on while falling asleep. Have a Wonderful week, Wonderful Persons!

@a.m.7438 29 күн бұрын

Is it possible we could find a "nearby" habitable planet with better equipment that was probably there the whole time that we couldn't see because of previous space sight challenges that prevented us from noticing, or is our neighborhood pretty much mapped out?
