Essentially, Saturn restrained Jupiter, preventing it from falling any further towards the sun. Our solar system could have landed up with a 'hot Jupiter'. Many the reason potentially habitable planets are so rare is because Hot Jupiters are so common!

@@rachelar No, it doesn't contradict it. We know that rocky planets had to form close to the Sun, based on their constituents. However, they would not have remained close to the Sun had Saturn not prevented Jupiter heading ever inward towards the Sun. That would have ejected the inner, rocky planets from the solar system.

Potentially habitable planets may not be that rare. Currently, our observation techniques are biased towards large mass planets with short orbital periods (ie hot Jupiters). If we set up our current technology near Alpha Centauri and look towards our solar system, we won't detect the Earth, and we will miss Jupiter and Saturn because we will not observe the star long enough to detect them.

Late reply, but check this Wikipedia link (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_Interferometer_Space_Antenna) "Unlike terrestrial gravitational wave observatories, LISA cannot keep its arms "locked" in position at a fixed length. Instead, the distances between satellites varies significantly over each year's orbit, and the detector must keep track of the constantly changing distance, counting the millions of wavelengths by which the distance changes each second. Then, the signals are separated in the frequency domain: changes with periods of less than a day are signals of interest, while changes with periods of a month or more are irrelevant."

I believe static electricity charges are what cause tiny pieces of dust to buildup and combine with other dust particles. A crew member on a space shuttle mission years ago demonstrated this static attraction force with a clear plastic bag of small pieces material that, after shaking it up, the small pieces of material would begin to cling to other small pieces in a matter of seconds. In time gravity will become the major combining force.

There's a part in Arthur C. Clarke's novel 2001: A Space Odyssey where the Discovery uses Jupiter for a slingshot effect to gain velocity to get to Saturn (I'm not confusing this with the 2010 movie, Hyams took the sequence from the first novel). Clarke notes that the law of conservation of energy is maintained, and Jupiter lost all of the velocity that the Discovery gained. I always though it would be funny to write a story where the accumulation of all the slingshots space ships did using Jupiter to get into the outer solar system would lead to Jupiter slowing down and falling sunward, eventually threatening the Earth. I'm sure you'd need like trillions of slingshots for that to happen, though.

As our sun ages and expands, there will come a time when someone in another star system, looking at our sun, will wonder why we have a hot Jupiter. So my question is, what type are stars are all these hot Jupiters orbiting. Also given the limitations of our current technology to see exoplanets, it follows that a majority of those we find in the early years, will be large planets, close to their star where they have the greatest gravitational effect (to induce a wobble in the star that we can detect) or have the greatest dimming effect as it passes between us and its star.

The most amazing thing about Saturn is that it shares the same axial tilt as Earth and Mars which does not match the Suns axial tilt, which suggests that Saturn, Earth and Mars are not native to this solar system and possibly have been captured as a mini solar system if Saturn was once a brown dwarf star. Doesn't it seem strange that as each one of those planets sit in a closer orbit to our sun that the axial tilt of each planet will be one degree closer to matching the Suns axial tilt meaning Earth 23 deg, Mars 25 deg, Saturn 26 deg. It's as if the Sun's electromagnetic influence is affecting their axial tilt by distance and time which makes me think the capture was recent by geological times.

My preference for nail polish has always been dark, midnight blue, and that's why I noticed yours first, because at one angle, it really looks like my fave, instead, LOL!

I noticed Becky excused use of Sa'urn with ACCENT rather than DIALECT. So... she is trying to speak "proper" English but her accent fights back? Also rewinding some video to listen this, I notice she said "pa'at" instead of "part". I think. I'm a Finn so I don't have as good ear as native English speakers to hear the difference for sure. English R has so little trill anyway it often sounds just like a lengthening of the vowel.

There is nothing at all improper about the northern dialect, or any other regional dialect. Even Scots.

I remember that Brian Cox's BBC series on the planets mentioned the 'migrating Jupiter' theory, but he didn't explain how it could first move inwards and then out again, which puzzled me. You did better in a fraction of the time! Incidentally, if you watch that series I think you will shriek in horror and disbelief at a howler in Cox's script, accompanied by a distant humming sound from Kepler spinning in his grave.

@Brian Coley As far as I recall, he *described* it but didn't *explain* it. Your own description doesn't explain it either. You say that the formation of Saturn 'arrested' the inward migration of Jupiter, but what needs to be explained is the fact (if the theory is correct) that Jupiter moved *back* from the orbit of Mars to its present position. If he explained this, perhaps you could add his explanation to your synopsis.
@geemanbmw4 жыл бұрын
@Brian Coley that's partly true that jupiters are the most common because current technology can more readily pick out large planets and current technology can readily pickup wobbles from small star red dwarfs it's much more difficult with large K type stars and up G,F A. But to say they are the most common is not true. Just wait till the technology improves and the detection around K & G Type stars with Earth like planets will be off the charts. And F8 and F9 stars have potential in wide orbits.

Thanks for this video -- When I was studying computer programming in school, one project I did was to port the old ACCRETE simulation of the formation of the solar system to Windows in C++. But I see now that ACCRETE is missing out a lot of details that I guess they didn't know about then, like gravitational resonance and the other things you discuss. Makes me wonder if there's another, open source simulation out there that's a lot more up to date. And I will say that I have no problem with how you pronounce "Saturn"... But I admit I've usually heard Kuiper's name pronounced with a silent "U", to rhyme with "piper" -- This is the first time I've heard it pronounced "Quee-Per". But for all I know that's actually the correct way.

Jupiter's orbital period is 12 years - how many Exo planets with 12 year or longer periods have we detected? Barely a handful. We've hardly been searching for Exo Planets long enough to detect planets with the periods we see in our own solar system. I'm convinced that the "abundance" of hot jupiters is a MASSIVE sampling error - these are by far the easiest planets to find by our current detection methods. I have a feeling that as we search more and we begin detecting more small planets with longer periods, we'll end up majorly revising our models of planetary formation again.

It's just a play on the sound of the names of these planets in the Solar System. Depending where you come from, maybe your natural accent prevents 'Saturn' sounding like 'Sat on'. Maybe it's a UK thing. Say it out loud, although I expect after all you effort to understand it, the joke won't be funny any more... Good luck...

I did the Astrophysics elements of my degree in 2004, at the time, the first exo-planets had been confirmed and Hot Jupiters were a new and interesting phenomenon. At the time, my lecture suggested maybe Jupiter had been like a cosmic corset, holding everything in place. Jupiter held the larger gas giants away from the Sun and stopped the rocky planets from being ejected. I now have an image of Jupiter being the stays in the corset and Saturn the laces, forcing the Solar System into the current shape.

(in jest) so the bloody Trappist system needs to do its piano lessons, that was appalling. In more serious mood that was what i was trying to find somewhere, VERY long time ago i've heard that Jupiter migrated had no clue why or how. Yes that gravitational pull would help stabilize proto-planets and debris belts in good positions. As for why Jupiter / Saturn stopped maybe it was just sheer speed of their orbit? when you get closer to sun you accelerate on your orbit and if you can not decrease the speed you'd catapult out of the orbit (wisdom learned by destroying sol in Universe sandbox squared over many many messy collisions).
