I know it well. I used to holiday there with my family in the 80s.

Good times.

Technically, we have all the required elements to become a star, but we just ain’t big enough!
Big brain moment

1:00 I'm about to be 420 light years away myself 😤💨

[Juno_-]

1:12 The fact we can even take pictures of exoplanets and stars far outside of our solar system is pretty crazy to me.

It says something about the earth being the size of a nickel but they show a dime. Anyone else catch that?

[clarenzabalorio]

ROXs 42Bb is smaller than that of HD 100456b since I googled its size

Hello Ardit & Crew, this is quite interesting. I'm glad I found you guys. I learn something from 95+% of your videos, I just saw this a few minutes ago, Hopefully we will learn more about this Star, Do you remember a song from the early 70s by Joni Mitchell, with the lyrics, {"We Are Stardust, We Are Golden, And We"ve Got To Get Ourselves Back To The Garden, By The Time We Got To Woodstock We Were Half A Million Strong"} We are literally made of Stardust, Thank You For An Excellent Channel. 👍 😃

How disappointed were you when you found out this wasn't the voice of solid snake?

[Broncotube]

"If Jupiter were the size of a nickel." Interesting comparison! But the coin shown in the image with the basketball is a DIME!

[nataliekenny]

[Bgh-zyem]

How disappointing this is...not much views. YouTube is getting so mean 😞. Not promoting these priceless storm of knowledge 😔😔

“The biggest known planet in the known universe.”

As opposed to what? The biggest known planet in the _unknown_ universe?

[UnionPacific]

Isnt the biggest planet in the known universe HD100546B?

[CapitalTeeth]

Gas giants always tend to be the biggest, huh.

[valeriespurgeon]

Is it me or does anyone else thinks this giant star looks like Saturn?

[summerbreeze]
