Does Phailinsiam have a Trojan Exoplanet? 

It's great that we have an actual name for it, instead of numbers and letters.

​@@ReverseToadI'm glad no more keyboards are being beaten up to produce the names

Who comes up with these names?

@@avishalom2000lm I think the IAU (International Astronomical Union) controls whether or not a exoplanet/exomoon name follows the given criterias. Otherwise the astronomers that discover it can propose names for them. But the IAU decides whether or not it gets applied. I believe that's how it works. Usually each star system is named within a singular mythos (exception to this is the Sol system). Like the star and its planet in this video are all taken from legendary gemstones of Thai mythology.

@avishalom2000lm the public does, every few years the IAU hosts a competition called NameExoWorlds where anyone can submit a name (assuming they follow all the rules, which there are a lot of) and the IAU chooses which one is the best

Never expected to live long enough to see a planet being “ice” and “hot” at the same time. A true defiance to modern physics

@ChrisPTY507 it’s not actually made of ice, “ice giant” just means a planet similar in composition to uranus or neptune it’s mostly made of hydrogen and helium and water and such

finally someone that names ksp planets the right way❤

YES

Ice hot!

@@Chubby_Bub hot ice!

GAH ICY HOT- [now watch me nerd about this] Okay so how this works is that ice, is a solid. Solids are substances who's atoms are densely packed, and thus unable to flow or bend or move like liquids or gas (we don't talk about plasma). See, when the temperature is cold, the vibrational energy (i believe it is called phonon?) is slowed down, until it reaches it's freezing point and stops moving at all. This happens when particles are extremely tightly packed together, forming a solid! However, we can mimic this phenomenon without icy cold temperatures. High pressures can cause atoms to be forced together tightly, also resulting in a solid. So Phalinsiam is a hot ice giant due to water being forced into solid state from high pressure, but also due to it being hot. It would be liquid normally due to the temperature, but in this case the atmospheric pressure is higher than the temperature, causing the water to 'freeze up'. This actually comes under chemistry and not physics!!

yeah forgot to clarify that, i said “relatively” but forgot to explain it better lol should’ve said that it’ll remain within L5 and roughly the same distance from Phailinsiam, but of course there will be noticeable variations (especially if it has an inclined orbit)

we don’t know enough about it to make a full video on it but it is one of the exoplanets with an official name, it’s been named Dimidium since 2015 (but for some reason nobody knows it has an official name, and idk why lol)

@Kyplanet893 wow, I never knew it got a name

Isn't Dragur (PSR something something something) the first planet?

@segganew no, the two other planets in that system (poltergeist and phobetor) are draugr was discovered a few years later dimidium was the first one around a sun like star

It's named Dimidium

Thanks

Well if the dominating orbit criteria was removed, there would be like 30 planets in the solar system which would group up a lot of different objects together

@@potatomudkip Is that a bad thing? I don’t see people saying the same about the billions of mountains, rivers, and species that exist (only) in this planet.

probably not, it’s too far away from the sun and too rocky

not known for certain but it could’ve formed further out and moved inwards

exoplanets are normal planets an exoplanet is just any planet outside the solar system there’s big ones and small ones

@@Kyplanet893 well I never went to space but Jupiter is small I know that some are big and small i seen a exoplanet like Jupiter but bigger on RU-vid

there are hundreds of known planets bigger than jupiter, and thousands of known planets smaller than it

it probably didn’t, it most likely migrated to where it is

@@gabbls_ yea most definitely. I like this channel and the videos go in depth

Balls.

Of course you are like begging.
