Forbidden Planet is one of my favorite movies. For me, the discovery of planet with a vanished ancient civilization would be one of the most interesting things of all time.

Anton, you're one of the hardest working Youtubers there are. Thanks very much for another great video.

[Rev_GC]

Exceptionally well presented. Thank you for including some of the hypothesis as to how these might come to be. Very informative.

[Microplancakes]

Anton, you are the wonderful person!!! I'm so thankful to have found your channel!!
I'm sending all my love, as best I can, to your wife and you!!!

[toms]

Always appreciate you explaining different phenomena - especially when some sensational headlines are circling the press.

[Matthew-ldwx]

I've been watching your channel for some time and I really enjoy it

[mikelouis]

This is why science always deserves funding. Fascinating!

[m.c.]

I think, the planets should be smaller around a brown dwarf, but at the same time they should make up a larger portion of the star system mass, because a brown dwarf star has less gravity, thus allowing a small seed to form a large planets . The lack of heat would probably allow less dense atmosphere to be stable .

Episode 749 this year of "We don't know know half as much about stellar physics as we thought we did..."

[MCsCreations]

The weird part for me is the scientists surprise. If binary stars can form... Why not something like this?

[eirinym]

I've always thought that stars that are orange dwarfs, smaller than our sun, but larger than red dwarfs would be the best candidates for earth like planets. Longer lived, and cooler, but still massive enough for planets to be far enough out receiving plentiful light and not usually tidally locked.

"Forbidden" planet = better click bait. Mystery solved. Thanks Anton. The world needs more straight shooters like you.

[jfabiani]

Thank you for your work Anton. Its so needed.

[folee_edge]

I love that there are mysteries to solve ❤️

[EksaStelmere]

When a scientist says "incomplete" you must always remember that's slang for "we were wrong, moving on".

[stevenkarnisky]

Ya hafta start somewhere with research. Describing the conditions around red dwarves; adding what is known about how planets form; then making predictions about what planets could form around a red dwarf. When something different is found, science must go over the material and add new research. Baby steps, but eventually the job gets done, and there is more data to predictupon.

Thank you, Anton!

Aw, you can pretty much tell when Anton isn't happy about what he's covering, just by the way he says "Hello, Wonderful Person" almost dejectedly. These very good science communicators, like Anton, Dr. Becky, Fraser Cain, etc., are always frustrated when the news outlets get their reports so blown out of proportion or just plain wrong. They know it doesn't look good for science when the news makes these things look so different than what they are. 😒

[captainkenno]

It seems best to accept that we have a lot to learn about how and where planets form... I will add it to the list of stuff I know less than I thought I did.

[Techmagus]

A simple solution could be: Stars very often come as binary stars, if there is an early distortion one of the two could underdevelop and instaed of making it into a sun it just gets a huge planet. I will call this the distorted red dwarf binary hypothesis😁

[CeliniaGava]

Seem like it could maybe have been a binary system, but one of the stars failed to ignite or went dark after it ignited. Fascinating nonetheless. Thanks for the always great videos!
