Could we find life around low-mass stars? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice find out why life might be more likely around low-mass stars, what makes brown dwarfs, galactic archeology, and more with astronomer Emily Rice.
Where did the name “brown dwarf” come from? Learn about when brown dwarfs were first discovered and astronomer Jill Tarter’s research on them. We discuss star classification, why the letters are so out of order, and how brown dwarfs are relevant to the field of exoplanets. What is the difference between a brown dwarf and a low-mass star? Find out what the cutoff is for thermonuclear fusion and how deuterium can help low-mass stars fuse a little.
What is the difference between a brown dwarf and a hot Jupiter? Do we know how brown dwarfs are formed? What is the largest dwarf star ever discovered? Learn about age-mass degeneracy and how low-mass brown dwarfs could actually be old high-mass brown dwarfs. Discover the Sun’s tachocline and how the brown dwarve’s magnetic field may operate differently.
What happens when two brown dwarfs collide? What the heck is a blue straggler? Find out about the lifespan of brown dwarfs, galactic archeology, and metallicity. How do you tell the age of different low-mass stars? What would it take to capture a direct image of an exoplanet? We discuss the Trappist-1 System, the Goldilocks zone, and good candidates for Earth-like planets. Plus, a cosmic perspective on the importance of space exploration.

Yes, can you get Neil to help with IAU in changing the stars? Let's change the stars. What I mean is, get the IAU to, OFFICIALLY, make a new constellation. My idea for changing the stars includes Orion, Taurus and Pleiades (Subaru). Figure it's time to put something up there that's relevant to us, don't you think? Take Orion's belt and "Betelgeuse" becomes the head with a baseball hat. The 3 stars of Orion's belt make up the 3 fat belt loops on a baseball uniform. Below the belt are two legs bending at the knee. "Saiph" is the back foot and "Rigel" is the front foot. The spear pointing at Subaru/Pleiades is the bat and Subaru/Pleiades is the baseball flying away after being hit. "Bellatrix" is the hand that let go and "Aldebaran" of Taurus is the bat's tip. Put it all together and you get, "THE ALL-STAR." In my case, I see a left-handed batter with a, "7," on the jersey. Which makes him, "Mickey." (As it should be) But you can put any number you want, making, "THE ALL-STAR," any player you want. Pass it on, please and thank you. Don't worry, where I come from, crazy is a compliment. ;-P

Me and my friend, Michael, were bored in our class, so he had the absolute genius question of "I wonder how many bananas it would take to cover the largest star." So, we got to work. We found that most sources said that UY Scuti was the largest known star, with a radius of 1.118 billion kilometers. So, we had to convert the kilometers to meters, multiplying by 1000. But, a banana is a meter long, so we had to multiply by 100 to get the radius in centimeters. After this, we looked up the average size for a banana (15-20cm) and used the number in the middle (17.5). So, we divided the radius of the star by the average banana and, before plugging the numbers into the formula for surface area (4πr^2) and we ended up getting 157.6 nonillion bananas. After this, since we decided we could take this further, we found the amount of bananas it would take to equate the mass of UY Scuti. We found the mass of UY Scuti by looking up the mass of the sun (1.989x10^30) and multiplying it by 30 since the source said it was roughly 30 times more massive and then multiplied it by 1000 to get it from kilograms to grams (which we calculated it as 596.7 undecillion). Then we divided by the mass of a banana (we found it to be 180.56 grams) to give us our final answer of about 3.3 undecillion bananas. These are probably wrong, but we had a lot of fun doing it. Though, we now wanted to find how much you'd have to crush all those bananas until they became a black hole. I'd assume it'd be about the same size as UY Scuti's schwarzschild radius, but I don't know for sure. Could you help us understand how you'd calculate that because to find the gravitational constant, you need the gravitational force, and for the gravitational force, you'd need 2 objects according to what we were seeing. Also, thanks for inspiring my love for space and I'd love to watch some more awesome videos about black holes. :)

@@augustwest9727 I think I might understand what you're saying. If you're talking about shrinking the bananas individually down into Blackholes, that wouldn't be efficient because you lose mass between Blackhole combinations so you'd need more to make up for the mass lost. I'm not sure what the rate of mass lost it exactly, but I can give an example. If one Blackhole with a mass of 80 kg eats another blackhole with 80 kg, you'd have one Blackhole that has a mass of like 156 kg or something like that.

Can we really know how old the far galaxies and the stars within actually are? Yes we have models that estimate them based on the estimated elapsed time the alleged “big bang” (and yes I do understand that we have lots of evidence supporting the idea) but it seems to me that we are still missing something essential. I look forward to us learning more about those things we don’t fully understand, although I honestly don’t think it will be in my lifetime (I’m 67 at the moment) to the extent that we know what it is that we currently call “dark energy” and “dark mass”.

When they explained"Degeneracy" it reminded me of someone trying to explain the Postulated state of Quantum Superposition."we can't say it is this or that because it can actually be something which is both this and that, at the same time". Odd that is, but whereas Quantum Superposition may actually just be a "Mathematical Artifact" arising from our lack of knowledge, "Degeneracy" is a description of a "Real" observable Phenomena.

Anyone know if laminar flow in plasma can compress specific gravity of its container? My idea is to streamline the flow of plasma to the point of increasing specific gravity in a similar way to wrapping the object in question within a "subsoace bubble" or more functionality making the object more easily slip through any ambient fluid, be it water or air in the atmosphere or interplanetary space. The idea is to get twice the speed for half the energy input so a pseudo-gravity drive of sorts.

What is the difference anatomically between gas giants and stars, other than mass? If there is no difference, then why lump them in a category with rocky/terrestrial planets and not make them a sub category of star? Perhaps it’s best I put my $5 where my mouth is in Patreon.

I await the day that the newest season of cosmos... has a twist... and the season is: "Chuck Nice teaches you about the cosmos" and it's just Chuck Nice trying his best to remember everything he learned from Star Talk.

QUESTION: lets say you the observer is in a ship close to a black hole and are observing (from a side view) an astronaut going towards the black hole until he appears to stop. keep that exact point in space where the astronaut appears to stop, now take a planet and put its surface right at that point in space (that being that closest point between the black hole and the planet) now lets say the planet was spinning in place and did not start to crumble because of black hole, what would the observer see, because part of the planet would be in a space that seems to stop spinning and part of it wouldn't be in that space. Also would a planet size unbreakable object be able to spin , or just get locked up...

I don't know if this is the right place for suggestions. Anyway I hope you could explain the multiverse theory. Is it only fictional? I would love some Neil deGrasse Tyson's opinion on this

As soon as JWST gets to the nearest Brown Dwarfs, we'll learn so much more.

Somewhere in space of this commentary, I already attempted to answer, a theory, however, low mass star emission creating the terrestrial Habitability Zone does not reflect the organization of light for signs of life hospitable. Not enough fusion of the helium core hydrogen shelf's, to bring on quite red, M- dwarf.

A Call of Duty is a great unit of measurement for digital space. 500gb = ~4 x CoD. A terabyte is ~8 Call of Duties.

I would assume brown stars are more likely to contain planets more like the moons in our solar system. I also assume pairs of brown stars might be as common as it is for larger stars.
