The Loneliest Planet 

Imagine ur a planet chilling with ur other planet boys and then you get flung away from them at 30,000,000mph 😔

To what charity can I donate to give these orphaned planets a home?

I love how we're anthropomorphizing these rogue planets that are for all intents and purposes blissfully unaware of how fucked up their existence is

The idea of a planet that formed without a star to begin with and has always been in darkness is incredibly haunting. Sounds like a wonderful setting for a grimdark novel.

I never thought I would have so much sympathy for a planet.

So in theory, a year on such a planet equals one orbit around the galaxy?

Scroll through the comments and see how many start with the word “imagine” That’s a great indicator that these videos are getting people thinking, which is a good thing.

Imagine just standing on this planet. The sheer loneliness. The cold. The awe. There are no words, just a sky that cannot he described in words. You may be forever isolated from humanity, but a what cost? You see something no human ever has and probably ever will see- our home, our universe. In its very prime beauty.

It is no longer “existential crisis”, it is “universal crisis”

Just had a crisis trying to picture the nothingness

When Uranus gets smashed with a rogue planet

It feels at times like the sheer emptiness of the space between planets, stars, and even galaxies is scarier than cosmic horror stories.

I'd like to recommend the short story "A Pail of Air," written in the 50s, about Earth becoming a rogue planet after a passing black hole drags us into interstellar space.

Imagine this planet in the Bootes Void.

Wow. Didnt realize I had so much in common with a rogue planet. The life and characteristics of a rogue planet as described in this video 100% felt like a metaphor for my life.

Imagine if one day far away into the future, we figure out some technology that defies laws of physics as we know it, allowing us to travel between galaxies in a near instant, having that ship traverse a direct line to them. And then, our first intergalactic trip.... ends because the spacecraft smashed into one of those rogue planets floating between the galaxies. Just how unlucky would that be? xD

I like to imagine a gigantic Rogue gas planet flying through the universe and runs into a nebula and as it's flying through accumulates more and more gas and right before it exits it ignites into a star

You make genuinely interesting commentaries, you are extremely underrated

So how about a rogue solar system? I'd love to watch a video on that. A star with several planets plunging through the endless void of intergalactic space...

Loneliest planet: **Exists** Edgy 14 year olds: *Our loneliness*

"What's wrong?" "I'm in this video and I don't like it."

So that's where all my hopes and dreams went...

The most depressingly beautiful script ever created. The sense of loneliness. . . No one on earth could possibly relate. No matter how alone we think we might be. Beautiful. Just beautiful. Ask the guys from Cryo Chamber to produce the soundtrack of your next video (but only if it's of a similar nature to this one)

They need a friend. Maybe a happy little moon or a happy little space probe to keep them company

Imagine the wind blowing though the canyons and mountains of these dark planets as we speak.

Ah here we go again, SEA giving me yet another existential crisis

I never thought I could feel sad for a lonely planet in the middle of dead space

The sigh at 16:12 is exactly how I feel when I see articles or studies with those name classifications in them. The comedic timing is also PERFECT, and the ending pause at the "...three......point one" had me rolling! lol

The feeling of loneliness in the dark is quite compelling but to speak the names of these nomad planets is more tongue-twisting

Imagine those dark, frozen worlds in the void of intergalactic space... traveling into the nothingness... forever...

I just love the idea of aliens evolving on these rogue planets. Their biology would be adapted to running in such cold temps.

16:12 I love the exasperation as you read of the "name" of this planet...

Nobody: 14 year old kids: ‘I can relate so much to this’

"If anything sentient could travel into intergalactic space, it would surely be both terrifying and maddening." You would make Lovecraft proud.

Maybe this is where Triton came from. It collided with Uranus, knocking it sideways, then slowed down it was captured by Neptune and started its inclined retrograde orbit.

Why does laying on a rogue planet, in intergalactic space, while looking out into the void sound so calming.

Why do I feel so sad for these rogue planets.

"Darker than dark, colder than cold, lonelier than lonely..." *Shows beautiful intergalactic space imagery* -well.. now I wanna visit

Imagine a rouge Planet with deep oceans and a really big Moon that can keep the planets Interieur warm for a really really Long Time. You would pontetionally have Life thriving in These oceans for eterneties without desterbence due to the layer of ICE above. That actually Sounds quite nice lol

It's terrifying thinking about being flung to intergalactic space. You could potentially just travel forever, damned to an infinite journey with nothing around.

"Voids between creation... " Such cool writing!!

I wonder if it’s so quiet that you would be able to hear your own heart beat and blood move... maybe so quiet you can hear the planet’s core move

Fun fact: apparently there existed a “Fifth gas fiant” in the Solar systems, wich was similar to the “Ice Giants” (Uranus and Neptune) and got ejected during the formation of the Solar systems

I'd love to stand on a rogue planet! I hope when I die I can wonder the universe forever!

I just want to hug them, and let them stay in our solar system. :( They never deserved it. It’s like planets are the babies, but the parent (sun) either rejected or exploded into supernova

Imagine floating around in an empty void, waiting endlessly but with no sense of time, pure emptiness all around you, absolute coldness and lifelessness, and you can only just wish that you never existed at all...

My heart goes out to the individual who captured these shots. I can only hope that your journey brings you ever closer to the warming embrace of a star. Godspeed, my cosmic friend.

No 😢 poor lonely planets :c Give them a family

10:43 This place (intergalactic space) is darker than dark, colder than cold and lonelier than lonely. This gave me the chills.

The description of intergalactic space is just incredible. It would be like the ultimate nihilistic future for a planet on that trajectory. You’d be better off not existing. Love these videos. I watch this playlist every night in bed...

👍 Arguably the best astrophysics/cosmology channel on RU-vid.

“But more lonely, freezing and silent than you can ever imagine” your choice of words is poetry my friend.

Imagine standing on an earth adrift halfway between Andromeda and Milky Way.

"...life on these renegade celestial bodies is more probable than you think, but more lonely, freezing and silent than you can ever imagine..." - nice writing there.

That was wonderful, educational and somber. The cadence of your magnetic narration kept me in a state of mourning, until your dreadful gasp before revealing the mundane categorical name of the second rouge planet ever discovered, which literally caused me to laugh aloud. Thank you SEA, for this and all the inspirational presentations you have bestowed upon us. I can, and have, listen to your soothing and impressive articulations for hours at a time. You are absolutely captivating!

Cosmic dating site - Rogue Planet: "Lonely planet looking for a star to warm me up!" Amazing video! Thank you so much! Actually, a week ago I wrote a comment on another channel requesting a video on rogue planets, and it's you who made the video! :)

Your commentary is just amazing. The music and soundtracks behind the videos of almost nothingness just blend the mood perfectly and complements the points you're making. I love it.

SUPERB VIDEO. SUPERB SCRIPT. SUPERBLY NARRATED. The sadness of being a "Lonely Planet" is palpable, and so beautifully portrayed by the narrator. This definitely my favourite SEA video - and that's saying something as they are all superb.

i was bored ...but this 16:11 somehow cheered me up ^^

This is a great video on rogue planets. Existential dread aside, thanks for the explanation. I’m glad the RU-vid algorithm led me to your channel.

Fascinating video, well written & presented, thank you.

That description of rogue planets who drift into the intergalactic void game me chills. The line between art and reality blurs once more.

Your content is way better than most on RU-vid, it's factual and relevant! keep it going man

just awesome, the images, the music, the narration, the atmosphere, everything. Your channel is a gem. Also, thank you for adding the musics used on the description, I am really enjoying "Let The Pain Speak to Me"

Who on earth is naming these planets? These names are a complete train wreck.

A history teacher of mine once said: "We study our past to comprehend our present, and build from there our future". At the end of class he said: "Our future might be uncertain forever, but we must forever be certain that there's still enough left of it to learn". Now, unlike then, I understand his words. And hope, _as faith itself, remains the flame alighr in the darkness forever."_

This is quite possibly the best space related video I've found on RU-vid. Thank you.

This is the closeted ive ever came to crying over planets not that close but still

A Nomadic Planet forever searching for a Solar System to call Home.

The void of space is such a frightening thought. No sense of anything normal only lonyness and emptiness and darkness.

One great thing worth mentioning about intergalactic rogues and loneliness. One could argue that loneliness requires something to experience it. Could a Rogue Planet host life? Sure but not forever. But what about a Rogue Star? A star getting flung and dragging its planets out with it. Imagine something in the habitably zone here. It evolves up and casts its eyes to the night sky... and it's dark. A couple bright blurs, and many more but dimmer dots twinkling above. They investigate how far away these objects are and they are... incomprehensibly far. They can't even figure out a number with nothing local to even base it off and scale it up. They are just "far". Stars? What's a star? Their telescopes only show those tiny dots on zoom in looking like those bright blurs. When looking at the bigger blurs, they certainly notice a few bright dots between them but they can't identify them. Maybe those blurs are like fractals, made up of deeper blurs within them, all blurring together in one collective mass we call a galaxy. They wouldn't be wrong, but how could they know their own Sun wasn't anything but unique? Are they the only things living in the universe? Probably. Afterall they know their life is sustained by their sun, and they can't find any others out there. Maybe there's some theories that life could exist inside those blurs, associating the light with the warmth, but others might protest saying life can only happen where it's dark, as too much light could mean too much radiation. Since they can't comprehend distances properly, they might assume that because their sun is bright, it could be seen from anywhere like a beacon. The only non-blurry light source in the universe, and that if aliens existed, they would have to exist around their own beacon in the universe, but those other suns don't exist, there's no evidence for it. It seems like a given that for any creature to truly become space faring and immortal, they need to know space exists. You're not going to have fish at the bottom of a frozen ocean or mole people underground realising that there's more beyond their finite realm. No matter how smart they get. Maybe the fish people in an effort to go as far up as possible, with advancing mining technology and protective warming gear make their way to the surface to discover... nothing. There's no water, no ice. Any eyes they might have, either blinded by the universe above them or too out of focus to even comprehend the lights in the sky existing in the first place. Subterranean peoples will not have aspirations for the stars because they can't even see them. So what is a lonlier fate, A rogue planet lost in darkspace, with a population that will never know beyond their ocean, or a rogue solar system, with a population that can look to the stars and see nothing to indicate they are among other forms of life in the universe?

his voice makes me wanna sneeze

Get out of the comments and pay attention

How to pique the interest of the audience, seemingly on a subject matter that initially seems like a dead-end, and yet, SEA not only brings it to life, but gives us a whole new perspective of these wondering celestial bodies, and the thoughts that conjure, based on said oratory. Superb! (again).

the soft piano music playing in the background has me incredibly emotional

I haven’t watched your vids in a while, and coming back to this after your last geometry dash video, I’m honestly so proud of you man. Keep up the good work! I’m really liking these scientific videos

Thank you. I happened upon this video and found it stellar! Subbed.

Wow, I had no idea how much better you've gotten until I went back and listened to this one. I've been a fan for years and watch/listen to your videos before bed and just hadn't noticed the gradual improvements you've made. The biggest difference is your pacing! It is SO much better! Kudos to you and I hope you are still finding as much joy in making these. I really really appreciate you adding captions too as I am deaf. Thank you so much.

When I think of anything living in intergalactic space, I can't help but imagine that it was deliberately exiled there... I love the idea of some ancient secret deliberately buried inside a lost planet in an intergalactic void, quietly waiting in the eternal midnight for eon upon eon until someone is clever enough to assemble the coordinates and daring enough to go look for it when it's needed again. Or to accidentally release something imprisoned there...

I don’t think they feel lonely, it’s us that are lonely

Another amazing video! As others have said, your channel seems way underrated. You put together really well-written and illustrated mini-docs of so many fascinating astronomy topics. This one is mind-boggling - it's terrifying to imagine being on a rogue planet that was flung into intergalactic space. That is just insane.

"but how do you LOSE a star?!" You forget to cherish her.

U sir truly are incredible. Outstanding video, God bless you

I learn so much from these! It’s always so interesting to learn about space, you’re one of the first channels that pop in my mind when I want to nerd out. And I’ve been here since 40k subs, so I can’t wait to see you get to a million. And it WILL happen.

haven't seen a sea video since his vid on riot and cyclic. cool to see he's started making more types of videos and found a new community.

A masterpiece. I have shown this video to many of my friends and it has moved them as well. Thank you for existing.

Why does this channel not have more subscribers? The subject matter of their videos is always very interesting - more often than not, even deeply intriguing; The imagery presented is always breathtaking; and last but not least, the narrator has such a pleasant and calming voice. I hope they will continue to make these superb videos until the universe ends! ;)

At around 11:00 hearing that just made me feel lonely af 😅

Great writing and narration about genuinely mind expanding topics. Your videos are fantastic and I learn a lot from them, so thank you. Would you kindly do a video about Olympus Mons, the highest mountain in the solar system?

Just found this channel and so glad I did. I’ve heard about some of the content but it doesn’t matter. The storytelling is superb.

That sigh will carry me through my week.

this video was oddly comforting

So fellow humans , does watching this video makes us realize that how lucky we are to be here just in the right place ?. Thank you universe 💥

I m crying 😭😭😭 this is my story

Brilliant documentary! Absolutely fascinating!

Imagine capturing some of these planets, the resources and technologies we could develop.

Love the structure pace and thought out commentary of this video, older ones were a little more thrown together but this is really well done. Keep it up.

It is not so bad to be alone. Everyone thinks it must be horrible. But when given a try, being alone is very liberating and gives one the ability to use more of your resources much more creatively than with others. Being alone is not the nightmare many people believe it is.

LOLOLOLOL Your exasperation at the 16:20 mark when reading the rouge planets ''designation'' was hilarious. I would have hoped this planet would be named something malevolent like EZEKIEL or HARBINGER or STEVE. You produce better documentaries than National Geographic...thank you for making these.

Instantly subscribed. I love your content and especially your commentary.
