  • Its nice to know that no matter how much I clean my room that the universe will always be dusty af. Imma show this to my mum
  • So there are 40 billion earth-like planets in our galaxy alone, and yet EVERY single winner of Miss Universe has come from earth.

    Crazy how we know the wind speeds of a planet I had never heard of, but we’ve still never been to the bottom of the deepest ocean floor on earth. Very strange but, science I guess.
  • One planet you should have included was the “fifth giant”, which used to be in our solar system. According to a theory called the Nice model, named after the city in France where it was theorized, there was once a gas planet between Saturn and Uranus. It was pushed closer to the sun by Saturns gravity, and then got violently ejected out of the solar system and became a rouge planet. We don’t know what happened to the planet after that. It could be any planet we have observed. It could have been destroyed by a black hole. We don’t know. There is another planet that used to be in our solar system called Theia. It was a rocky planet about the size of Mars that was between Earth and Mars. It was pretty close to Earth. It’s fate was even more violent then that of the Fifth Giant. By then, Earth was a hot, lava flooded hellscape. And so was every other inner planet. Earth was starting to slowly cool down. But then Theia and Earth started getting closer and closer together. Until the two planets smashed into each other. Theia was completely destroyed, and the two planets fused. If Theia were any bigger, it would have destroyed Earth too, and both planets would be reduced to asteroids. The resulting explosion completely reset Earths progress of cooling. It left a lot of debris in Earths orbit. So for a short period of time, the Earth had a ring system. Then some of the debris started clumping together. The whole ring fused into one body. And that body was our Moon. So technically, the Earth sacrificed a neighboring planet so that it can have a large moon.

    This guy went from dressing like James Bond to an 1800's gold miner

    Props to the cameraman. He recorded these deadly planets upclose just for us
  • @ETHENE22
    To be honest the universe scares me... The whole universe is so big and it scares me that I can't even imagine how big it is and how small we are. I have respect for the people that can deal with something like this. It would make me crazy to deal with this.
  • @outhouse9451
    My problem with finding planets that “can support life” is that we really don’t know that another kind of life form can exist within different kinds of environments
  • @kailee6787
    my brain cannot comprehend that we are NOT the only living creatures out there, the universe has always fascinated me and how there are millions of planets, black holes, stars. it’s so amazing and i wish i could explore the universe in my life time
  • @BullsMahunny
    "Basically, it's Saturn .... on cocaine." Pure science here. 100%. Give this man his PhD now
  • @EphyPinkman
    He sounds like a NPC that explains you the quest he's about to give you
  • @arisdrik
    I like how he adds humans at the end as the scariest and most inevitable being in the universe
  • @thenut1978
    Fun fact: It’s very likely that if humans were to encounter alien beings, we wouldn’t even be able to recognize them. It’s often said that alien life could be as simple as what we already see on earth to something we wouldn’t even be able to fathom with our senses.
  • scientist: we've discovered a new planet and we have the responsibilities to name it. also scientists: slams head on keyboard
  • @desireer6915
    This is the first time I've ever seen one of your videos and I'm blown away! You are a brilliant storyteller! I loved the synergy between information and entertainment that you've concocted!
  • I actually love that Earth is mentioned in this video. It didn't surprise me at all, because for some reason, I just expected it to come up. Of course, considering the countless horrors that can be experienced here, that's probably why. In a way, life can also be terrifying.
  • @samsandwich3362
    Imagine what a weather channel reporting on these planets would be like, Hello Everybody it's me Jon repotting the weather forecast to you today! Today is a beautiful day as the wind speeds are a cool, 5289 mph, and an average temperature of 967 degrees Celsius. there is also a slight downpour of molten glass this evening. Since the weather is so cool we decided to talk to our meteorologist, Michael what he thinks of this weather. Jon: We should be connected to him now, What is your opinion of the cool weather and temperatures this evening. Michael: (Loud wind sounds) Jon: Michael? Michael: (More loud wind sounds)
