  1. A correction - I mention that neutron stars have 10-29 solar masses. That is actually the mass range of the stars neutron stars originate from. Neutron stars after a supernova are actually about 1-2 solar masses. Sorry for the mistake!

  3. Thanks for watching! I hope you liked this video, it was one of the most tricky ones for me to make, so I hope it worked out. There's a lot of information to digest in it, so feel free to pause the video to read the captions for more insight. All the best, Alex

  4. Yeh that was jaw dropping when I first saw it! Really clear and gives great context

  5. I can't claim credit for the HR diagram, but I produced a lot of those visuals myself in Space Engine and Universe Sandbox. I agree with the above comment, you should definitely check them out, I'm sure you'd find it fascinating!

  6. I'll add it to the list!

  8.  @thatgnaralooguy  if you google Space Engine, there will be a download link on the official website. It can also be bought on Steam

  9. Close.. Haha no it's the number inside a catalogue. And there's lots of different catalogues which categorise different types of objects, so in the end there are a lot of letters and numbers. That's the simple answer!

  10. Yes oops. I'll pin a correction in the comments

  11. I would think it's possible! But we would be talking about vast distances in between the objects

  12. 1 solar mass = 1047 Jupiter masses

  13. Yes to all of them!

  14. I've done one with Scott already!

  15. The biggest "super-earths" they talk about are slightly smaller than Neptune... However they really don't have enough data on this yet so it could be a while before we have a more precise definition

  16. Ho ho ho 😝

  17. We weren't getting very many views... I might try again at some point :)

  18. We don't really know how well we'd adapt to higher gravities, but even a little bit higher wouldn't be a comfortable experience

  19. Maybe this is the video you are looking for :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9ZiUEuUeHE

  20. And so did you watch? :)

  21. Thank you! I'm putting a lot of effort into the polish, glad it's noticeable :)

  22. You are right!

  23. That's the point, it's not about the size really, it's about the mass. A planet can be larger while still being far less massive

  24. And yet...

  25. Yes they can!

  26. The planets have to survive the red giant stage first, but you are right, there should be some out there!
