Pulsar Planets Are Really Weird! These Are the First Ever Discovered

Ever since scientists began finding exoplanets in the 1990s, all manner of weird and wonderful worlds have been found orbiting distant stars beyond our solar system. But it's the very first exoplanets ever discovered that are arguably the strangest. Sometimes referred to as the doomed planets, these weird worlds were likely born from one of the universe's most fierce events. So how did these planets form? What do they look like? And could life exist on their surfaces? These are the first and arguably strangest exoplanets ever discovered.

I first learned about the Lich system on this channel, in the video about the most extreme exoplanets discovered.
I still go back sometimes and watch that video for its incredible content. Very enlightening and fascinating stuff.

[petsounds]

Always look forward to your videos. I learn so much about such incredible things! Thank you V101!

PHOBETOR sounds like a great name for a death metal band. 💀🎸

Another exceptional presentation, Rob.
The high quality of your content continues to amaze me.

I love how these planets are being covered. They’re so interesting!

We astronomers are a bunch of nerds with really cool toys and I love it.

[darkfox]

Amazing visuals and quality commentaries must be a V101 video. Great stuff you knocked it out the park.

[rowshambow]

The Lich system is one of my favorites.
And it was at some point a candidate for a strange matter system

I miss the Arecibo Observatory. I remember going there with dad in 2006.

Imagine some kind of electromagnetic form of life. They'd probably love it there.

[MorganSeveret]

And now imagine that you are colonist and see it with your own eyes in the sky...
Great video.👏

My favorite isn't a planet but a Moon called Titan & the awesome view we got to see from the Huygens atmospheric robotic space probe. It was the best & only look ever of this unique Moon 2.5 hrs to land and 72 min of data collection before contact was lost. The amazing thing about this was the view of the descent of the probe. From mountains to valleys and geo formations . It was a beautiful to see something that took 7 years to get there & in such harsh environmental conditions. I must thank you so very much as you did a Fantastic job on a video of this prob and the Cassini craft that it piggybacked on then sent data back to. Appreciate your efforts and quality content thanks for all friend Luv&Peace. Cheers to continued success.🙂✌🏼

Your videos are fantastic. This one is of really fascinating. Particularly, you image of what it would look like if you could see it from the surface. Have you ever done anything on magnitars? Also, have you done a video on could life exist on a planet that have binary suns? Thanks hayden

So planets can orbit dead stars too?? That's incredibly fascinating to know.
