Red Dwarf Stars: The Embers of Creation

Been wanting to do a video on red dwarf stars for a long time. I love the fact that they are going to be the only stars left in a few trillion years.

Tony I watched this the night you posted it 5 years ago, and it's as stunning as it was then. You referenced this video is your newest SFN, and it really reminded me of alot of things. Thank you Tony, you made my night.

Live fast, die young - Giant stars
Live slow, die last - Red Dwarfs

@StrangeKobold Whoops, I completely forgot! Sorry!

Keep Looking Up

I know it's not the same now... Dammit.

perfect timing for a Tdarnell video. I was feeling pretty low checked youtbue and this beauty was waiting in my sub box like a shinning piece of gold in a sea of chaos... Thank you sir.

You have such wonderful taste. The music on this and your other video's is just the best! That Cling piece along with the opening animation and your voice just brought the hair up my arms. Just beautifull Thank you for this!

Mr Darnell, thank you for those REALLY interesting facts about the red dwarf's life span in comparison to other stars. Amazing!

I love these videos. They remind me what an amazing universe it is.

Tony, your videos are some best on this site. I love seeing new ones on my sub page.

Majority of what you say in your videos I already know because, like you, I'm a astronomy geek. But I really enjoy the way you splice your images together and the tone of your voice (no homo). It lets me dream about the cosmos while I watch your videos.

Don't you ever stop!!

Great movie as always. Your movies are very informative. I also really like your voice, Imo your vids are one of the best if not the best space videos on YT.

Im so used to the new News format, that I'd almost forgotten that it was videos like this one which made me subscribe in the first place :-)

[CynthiaJanesMusic]

you have a really nice voice to listen to :)

Eu adoraria pesquisar mais sobre essas estrelas porque são bem interessantes. During the early years of the universe were giant massive stars more common than red dwarfs?

The ending terrified me, when you said the sky will be dark. It's such a scary thought to thing of the universe ending like that. Even though all of us will be dead long before that, i wish i could live on to see the ending of the universe, although it scares me it would be the greatest experience in the world

[Clap_Codex]

Wow. I got goosebumps during the last seconds of the video.

[Kromhoff]

loved the song at the end, great work!

its been ages since my mind has been boggled

@ArmourTheLlama But the habitable zone is much further in, making the gravitational pull in a red dwarfs' habitable zone powerful and almost equivalent to the pull of the Earth and Sun. And the Sun's apparent magnitude is -26.74 in luminosity. A red dwarf's luminosity viewed in the habitable zone of a potential life-bearing planet would be around 23-25 apparent magnitude [with an average of 24]. That's only slightly dimmer in degrees than the Sun. The star would appear about 3x bigger, though.

Great video as always! even though I have heard all of this before, you put a nice touch to it!

[AnimeFanatic]

As much as I like Neil Degrasse Tyson, I think that Tony should've been tapped to host the new Cosmos series.

[MindLessWiz]

Great video! I hope to see more of those in the future.
