The Weirdest Stars in the Universe

Ajouté : 2026-05-26

[00:00:00]Somewhere in space, there's a star that rains glass. HD189733B isn't technically a star, it's a planet, [music] but it orbits so close to its star that the atmosphere hits 1,000° and the wind 5,400 mph. Imagine a storm.

[00:00:16]Now imagine that storm is made of melted glass flying sideways. Yeah, space said no chill today. Then there's 55 Cancri.

[00:00:24]E scientists [music] think it might have diamonds inside. The surface is covered in lava, oceans of lava, and one year there lasts 18 hours.

[00:00:33]So yes, a diamond planet exists. It's just 2,400° and 40 light years away.

[00:00:39]Space basically put the most expensive thing in the universe behind [music] infinite locked doors. And then there's Przvylski's star, a star so weird that scientists still don't fully understand it. It contains elements that shouldn't exist. Elements so unstable they decay in minutes, but somehow this star just keeps producing them. Some scientists think it could be nuclear waste from an alien civilization, others think it's just weird physics.

[00:01:04]Nobody actually knows.

[00:01:06]A star that's been confusing scientists for 60 years and its [music] response is just existing. Space isn't empty, space is just full of things that make [music] zero sense and somehow that's worse.
