The Most Horrifying Planets Ever Discovered 

Shout outs to the camera man for going to these planets

As much as it's interesting to know about planets that us humans would consider hellish, it's possible that some alien looks at Earth, and dismisses the possibility of life there, because its conditions don't support the biochemistry of any of the living things they know of.

He makes me feel like he's giving me information about locals in a small town. So fascinating

I don’t understand how people think our universe is terrifying or feel dread thinking about the vastness. I find it utterly intriguing, fascinating and exciting.

The more I see these documentaries, the more I love Mother Earth.

I like this narrator, he actually sounds good and isn't generic guy talking. He sound's like a southern news reporter.

“Its relatively close by, only about 485 light years away…” Well you know, that’s a quick jog to get over there.

Incredible to think I’d learn all this, from someone who sounds like they own a country store back home. Thank you for this.

It is wild to think that we once believed that our Earth was the middle of the solar system, yet now we discovered so many planets, stars and solar systems. We have gone so far !

Man, these kind of space videos give me massive cases of existential dread, but is still so fascinating that I can’t stop watching them. We’re so small in the big picture 😞

When we consider the number of uninhabitable planets vs the total number of existing planets (that we know of) in different galaxies, the chances that we as humans came to existence into the most perfectly balanced planet to sustain a plethora of life forms is quite a statistical anomaly.

Judging by how many planets are out there that we have yet to discover, can anyone truly say that there is no chance of there being life somewhere other than Earth? Myself personally, I feel it would be negligent to believe we are alone in the universe.

Oh my gosh, I can’t even begin to articulate how much I love that you’re a science channel with that accent. You’re my people ❤️

The narrator: 100% American.

Can't these planets have life that's just adapted to those type of conditions? Maybe OUR planet would be unlivable for beings that can survive in 4000 degree temperatures. I just like to think that. It makes me happy to imagine it.

I don't feel the dread watching these things. But then again, I grew up with my dad stargazing with a telescope and going to the Arecibo telescope for conferences and such, growing on science fiction and other nerdy things. I find this, incredibly fascinating. Dangerous sure, as space is, as driving is, as living can be. But not any less fascinating with amazing potential.

The scale of space is mind blowing

Just so everyone knows, the way we discover planets is through their interference with starlight.

Thanks to Joe from the Hardware Store for taking time out to tell us about Exo Planets. Love ya Joe 🙂🥰

I’m one of this people mentioned in the beginning of the video. I get fluttering in my heart and huge smile when I think about the vast endless void call space and all its beautiful destructive wonders. I would love to roam it for all entirety exploring all its wonders.

The more we branch out into the stars and space, the better we find something worth traveling to. I hope we have others to keep going.

Fear, Angst, Fright and off put? No. Such things fill me with Fascination, Intrigue, Wonder and a tinge of Longing. Its no wonder that i often dream of Outter Space and Planets. Its more comforting than some might believe.

I'm so curious about the scenario where the person or people who first looked and saw Dagon was gone. I just imagine a person or group of people repeatedly cleaning their glasses, recalculating their data, and checking their equipment before going to someone else and asking them to confirm that they had indeed lost an entire planet and what they were going to tell their boss, like looking for something your mother told you to go get for her and getting nervous because you know that if you go back and tell her that you can't find it and she looks for herself and she finds it, you're dead. "If I look and find it myself, I'm putting you on the nearest rocket, blasting you off to space, ejecting you in a shuttle, and sending you into orbit."

Usually with science, we discover that reality isn't as fanciful or sensational as what we used to believe. But with the kosmos, we keep discovering that what we used to believe wasn't even remotely crazy enough.

The universe seems to be full of strange things. It's nothing like what I thought it was as a kid reading science fiction novels. I bet it even surprises the people who wrote the novels.

Love that phrasing "everything they knew" about things we only know by distant photos.

GJ-436B: 822F on the surface that orbits its red dwarf sun every 2 days. The planet is mostly water thats been frozen into ice by sheer gravity. The ice is literally 800+ F but never evaporates because of the tremendous gravity keeping it locked in that state. HD-189733B: A bright blue planet that literally rains glass... Sideways. Winds reach 5400 MPH (SEVEN times the speed of sound, the color of the planet comes from the torched landscape and atmosphere of the silicate particles TrES-2 b: A gas giant planet, discovered recently (2006), 1.49 times the mass of Jupiter with an orbit of 2.5 days around its star. Its star is a class G star (exactly like Earths sun). It is the darkest planet ever discovered. Eternal night. The surface is so dark that it is less reflective then coal itself. The air on the surface is hotter than lava. The atmosphere is vaporized sodium, potassium, and titanium oxide-things that actually compound the problem by absorbing heat. The planet reflects less than 1% of the light that hits it, plunging the surface into complete darkness.

0:00 Well, you’ve found one! Me. Since early childhood I’ve found everything about space inspiring, miraculous and utterly peaceful. My father became visibly anxious every time some program came up on the radio or TV about space and it was a complete mystery to me why…

I’m from Texas so your accent makes it so much more enjoyable to watch!

We never stop to think that we're on a giant rock constantly hurling through space, stop and think how insane that is.

When "relatively close" is 439 light years away, it really makes you think about how small and insignificant we truly are. Everything we dream of and hope to do means nothing. Have a great day everyone.

Thinking about the vastness of what is out there triggers something primal in me

The fact that this is all figured out with math is nuts

Could you imagine having a telescope randomly view a part of the sky and a giant eyeball planet is staring back.

imagine the extra terrestrials telling their children about how weird earth and it’s creatures are XD

Some dreams can *NEVER* come true... Mine being able to visit another planet 😥

Good night to all who like to sleep under these shows :)

I really appreciate that you get straight to the point

Let's stand back in awe of those immense forces that are at play in black holes, but let's not worry about getting sucked into one. We simply don't live long enough for that to happen. Even if an infant child was caught in the gravity well and starting it's, at that point, inevitable unstoppable and quite infinite descend down unto the singularity, it would have died by old age many times over before dying from gravitational forces spaghettifying the body. We just don't have the lifespans to stomach going there.

I'm English learner and I can understand a lot of what the presenter speaks

We are viewing these planets in a micro unit of their lifetimes. Just to think that somewhere out their is a planet creating the perfect conditions to harbor life.

If there are any intelligent life forms out there intelligent enough to look in to or travel through space AND THEY KNOW we're here, they're definitely watching us

I could watch these videos all day so fascinating, I love the commentator too he has a calming and comforting voice.

What a riveting and interesting presentation. Thank you.

The term planet comes from I believe the Greek word for wanderer. With this in mind, orphan planets could just be called planet planets

Its just crazy to even think about the other possibilities to what else is out there on the trillions of other planets

If there is life on the first planet, it would be interesting to see what that would even look like

Man, as a kid, space was the coolest thing, now it’s the most terrifying.

19:09 If you take their technology into account then what they are getting from us is images of our planet's infancy before it began to develop and support life. The same way that when we looks at far away stars we're watching images of a planet or star that either no longer exists or is way beyond it's current level of evolution by the time it reaches us.

Space is so fucking fascinating, I don’t understand why one would be terrified of it

If CoRoT-7 is locked into position with one side always melting facing the sun and the opposite side being frozen, wouldn't that mean there would be a goldilocks zone in between the two?

Still wondering how the camera man got to get there and covered these planets.😊

Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly.

This was fun. Thank you. Especially liked the weather-related bit.

Just a note on Kapteyn B, recently a discovery was made indicating that the universe is about twice as old as we thought it was (new estimate is that the universe is 26.7 billion years old), meaning that the age gab between Kapteyn B and the universe is 15.5 billion years rather than "just" 2 billion years - assuming that Kapteyn B actually is 11.5 billion years old

It’s crazy how the shark species is older than some of these planets

first planet is literally todoroki

Don't forget- the people behind these discoveries see 3-5 pixels on a huge picture and theorize what is the reason it's light is the way it is... they never actually zoomed in on them or anything- 99% of these kind of things are theories based on calculations- please correct me if i'm wrong

Yeah these are nice. But only three unknown things about Space scare me: 1. Black holes 2. Whether or not aliens exist (both ideas are terrifying) And 3. How the hell does the universe exist and what the hell is beyond it?

I think of them as fixer-uppers rather than terrifying places I would not want to go to. Nearly all the terrestrial planets we are likely to find will need work to make them comfortable.

Bro crackin up on his own jokes got me lol

Really nice CGI. Solid narration but do keep in mind, all of the conditions and concepts of these worlds are theoretical, based on the data that can be collected about them. Scientists don't know any of this for sure but that isn't to say it's not amazing to imagine them.

The finale is *very* thought-provoking! Thank You!

So we can determine that rocks rain on a planet 489 light years away, but we can't find any signs of intelligent life?

Thanks... My nightmares were getting bland anyways. No seriously, sure these planets are massive, out of this world (literally) and beautiful, BUT THESE ARE EXACTLY THE REASONS WHY IT'S SO SCARY. How easy is it to get lost and be easily killed by these planets? What other horrors do they pose? Like damn...

When I was 7 the gargantuan idea and size of space scared me. Now that I’m older it’s interesting to know there’s something new to discover everyday.

Just imagine being in person out there for years and comming back realizing just how small you and your world arem

I love astronomy and some planets I knew. A few waarwn unknown to me. I was so relaxed and focused only on the video & when this beautiful journey ended in the form of a video, the sadness was great. I could have listened for hours. The speaker speaks with such a calm voice & smiles from time to time so that you can hear it out of this round tuner. The video could have been longer. There was no lack of beauty and professionalism. anke but unfortunately much too short for this beautiful Vio. And thanks to the speaker, beautifully and calmly spoken👍🏻

IT IS TERRIFYING TO KNOW THAT WE ARE ALONE IN THIS UNIVERSE AND IT IS EQUALLY TERRIFYING TO KNOW THAT WE ARE NOT ALONE IN THIS UNIVERSE

Good morning.. I Just found this channel in my feed.. Amazing content and subscribed immediately

Everyone: talking about how fascinating this is to watch Me: wondering if we'd find gold raining too

imagine if you were like superman just going to one of these planets when you felt bored building a house there or something

Glad to see this video isnt about the same 5 other planets as dozens other youtubers made

You might think we are insignificant, but to find a planet like earth is so unfathomably rare that we are indeed very very special and matter a lot

Earth is genuinely the perfect planet. But still makes me wonder there's gotta be more Earth's out there!

I like how we immediately assume that extraterrestrials drink water

I'm genuinely curious, wouldn't rogue planets cool down very quickly with no nearby star?

Without a doubt we're being watched, great video xx

With markets tumbling, inflation soaring, the Fed imposing large interest-rate hike, while treasury yields are rising rapidly-which means more red ink for portfolios this quarter. How can I profit from the current volatile market, I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $125k bond/stocck portfoli0

I personally think it's rude to call life on another planet extraterrestrial while it's on their own planet. I mean after all we would be the according to them

"Would definitely cost us a jaw..." that was great 🤣

This is hella dope. I could watch these all day

Very well done video! I absolutely love it!

I wish we had the speed to go see the plants but we don't have ships that go that fast and we can't or are able to stay in outer space for long time yet

Shoutout to the guy who knows how old the universe is. Need me a time traveling machine as well!

I honestly just like how the animation that introduces each planet includes a ship approaching it

I don’t know if you know that the planet Dagon is possibly named after an H.P. Love craft story. It’s a story about man learning about a cult that worship a hydride fish people. I thought that was pretty cool the astronomers named it after that story.

i love the emptiness of the space

The first one is basically Crematoria from the Riddick series of films XD ( it had a prison on it that was built into metal bunkers )

It’s 4am and my alarm goes off in 2 hours, will I go to sleep no I will not

I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't learn soon that the universe is much old then we thought. Like 100B+ older.

You said at the start “difficult to find a person who had a deep and serious though about the scale of outer space and our universe without feeling a chill to the bone”, well you found him, that’s me and I can prove it with an older post from the same day… chatting with a friend who stated “I may be crazy but I feel like you know something I don't lol” to which I replied : I know many things you don’t. What do you mean? 😂” They replied: “You tell me to be calm and enjoy it like you know everything is ok” to which I finished with “Because it is. We’re but specs in an universe way bigger than ours. We’re but a blink in the endless of time. What worries us doesn’t exists, it’s nothing to be worried about ever, it’s just time. Enjoy it while you have it. It will be gone before you know it.”

This is exactly what I'm looking for as far as space content goes

I'm here! Been theorizing about space all my life and was never terrified. :-)

My inner nerd is captivated. Subscribed!

I like the country accent on a video like this.

love this video. great content! new sub here

I'm so glad we have a planetary weather forecast channel on youtube . I can rest assured when not to visit those planets during any uncomfortable season.

I wonder if they got the idea for that planet with the Sun for that movie Riddick where the Sun kills everyone when it rises

J1407B: How many rings are you on? Saturn: About 3 or 4, my dude. J1407B: You are like a little baby. Watch this.
