HiI'm a top comment Addition: using another method, another 'average' luminosity result is ~0.0015... Means that on average 650 random Red Dwarfs can beat Sun
This is such an underrated astronomy education channel. Digestible, yet nuanced. I remember being subscribed to Anton Petrov at 8K subscribers back in early 2016, and I saw his potential to become big. Your channel has that potential too.
Not only you're talented at animating, but the amount of information you gave to us.... We need more channel like this! Also next time maybe, I wanna see a video about "what will it look like if we stand on a habitable planet orbiting a red dwarf". Will we see a perpetual red sky on the entire day side? Will the star look reddish orange through the Earth like atmosphere to our eyes? So many question!
this is actually a really good video as it mostly depends on the different sizes and brightness of 10000 random red dwarves, thus the video is more scientifically accurate.
Is it possible for a binary star system to exist between a red dwarf and a star like our sun? And if so, if the sun were to magically become a binary system with a red dwarf how would it affect us?
There already is one like that, in fact a trinary--that's what Alpha Centauri is. A yellow star, an orange star, and a tiny red dwarf (Proxima), all orbiting each other. As for how would it affect us here on Earth if the Sun itself had a red dwarf partner...depends on how close it is. Might mess up orbit stability if it's real close; might only look like a brightish star in the night sky if it's far away.
@@banananugget8149 Somebody tested it before in universe sandbox appearenetly at the orbit of jupiter it wouldn't affect us too much... well beside the fact that sometimes we will have a dim red light at nightime on earth during certern times of the year
Talking about all ofthese red dwarves, I wonder if it would be possible for a Sun-like star to have a red dwarf partner _AND_ planets orbiting around it! And I do mean a red dwarf, perhaps as far out as Uranus or Neptune. Would some rocky planets, especially closer ones to the Sun-like star, remain in a stable orbit?
@@iapetus6110 You would think so, but no, I specificly stated that the red dwarf should be close to the host star. Alpha and Proxima Centauri are rather far from eachother, therefore not fitting the idea I talk about.
@@philippinescountryball7436 I've seen a few crossovers, like a planetball one with a black hole or a supernova or something, and then it cuts to Polandball looking at a picture of the destruction from way far away on Earth and being like "Pretty!" :P But that seems to be fairly rare.
What if 65Billion Red Dwarfs(All of Red Dwarfs in galaxy) vs The Luminosity of R136a1 (9Million suns) 1Billion Red Dwarfs vs 1 Blue Giant star(example Rigel)
You actually don't need 10,000 red dwarfs to equal the Sun's luminosity - Considering they have masses between 0.08 and 0.6 Suns, all what you need is taking two to thirteen of them (depending whether we are at the high or low end of the range), let them merging et voilà your Sun-like star!
hwo about this star called, EBLM J0555-57Ab? it's a red dwarf, and it's size is nearly the same as saturn, so by using fancy math 10,000 EBLM J0555-57Abs can defeat only above 1 sun
Didnt you made some comma mistakes either in your math or in your video? Using the data you given me i came to the conclussion thats they all can beat sun (exluding the lightest stars and the average value) but still good video PS: I just misread it so hes still right
