The Most Terrifying Planets EVERAdded:
I I I I really enjoy conversations about space. There is this video that landed on my for you page. Johnny, this is a thing that just landed on my desk.
>> It is perhaps the best thing I've seen in the last 6 months.
>> The most terrifying planets with the Okay. Most terrifying planets ever discovered. I love space. What is up, morid? I think space is the coolest thing ever. A lot of people fear space, hence the title. I think I'm more afraid of the ocean than I am at space. If there was two options of exploring the ocean or exploring space, I would easily pick space all day every day. Without a freaking doubt, you freaking for real. I love I know, believe it or not, I'm kind of a smart duck when it comes to the things, these things. And I wouldn't say I'm that smart, but I know a thing or two for sure. This video might show what my brain has in store. Let's see. The most terrifying planets ever discovered.
I think Jupiter will be number. It's It's a terrifying planet, but Jupiter is a necessity because it blocks all the asteroids coming our way. Did you know that? M uh by the way, I learned that Jupiter was a gas planet during senior year of high school. Anyways, let's watch the most terrifying planets ever discovered.
Ones that are terrifying. And does anybody remember the my mom took us to get nachos and pizza? I probably sound like a sleeper agent to y'all. The planets of the solar system. Y'all remember that? Oh, no way. Am I that old, bro? I know the last one. There's a new updated version because Pluto couldn't afford rent. See, I find this stuff very fascinating. Why is uh Pluto a dwarf planet? How do how do I get the non AI [ __ ] Because it has not cleared the neighborhood around its orbit.
It orbits in a disc-like zone beyond the orbit of Neptune called the Cooper Belts. Okay, so it's just too far out there. It's not It's not part of the neighborhood. My very excellent mother just served us nachos. It used to be something else. Ah, my very excellent mother just served us nine pizzas.
That's what it was. Anyways, work our way towards the ones that are hellish nightmares. Number seven, the burning ice planet.
This is number seven. Yo, I'm going to say Jupiter. Hold on, I'm cheating. I don't want to look. Jupiter is infinitely worse than I'm pretty sure Jupiter has constant hurricanes the size of Earth. It has acidic rain and glass flying through it. And if you breathe, you'll [ __ ] die if you even get anywhere near it. All right. Anyways, >> 436b is one of the most terrifying planets you will ever hear about. It is believed that the planet's entire surface is covered in extremely hot ice capable of reaching temperatures 800° F.
Shouldn't we just call that [ __ ] like lava? Yeah, hell. This is hell.
>> Now, I know that sounds confusing and makes no sense.
>> That's Thank you. How is it ice? But it's over there in 800 freaking degrees.
But don't worry, lucky for you guys, I know how to read. So, let me break this down a bit further. This bizarre superheated ice is formed by the planet's immense atmospheric pressure, not by cold. But instead of me just rambling off facts and telling you about these terrifying planets, let's make this a bit more fun. I will be placing you on each of these planets so we >> Don't do that. So we can see exactly what would happen to a human under these extreme conditions. Let's begin. You are now in a modern spaceship and are just about to enter Giza 436b's atmosphere. A terrible decision. Instantly, the spaceship begins to overheat and its structural components start to deform thanks to the planet's atmosphere being primarily made of heated helium and hydrogen. Around the 30se secondond mark, things can go one of two ways.
There's options. One of two ways. How?
The fact that there's there's two options here. I'm dead. [music] Look, the whole [ __ ] ship's in fire and I'm being compressed. Whatever the quicker one is, I'll go with that. The ship could be crushed from the increasing pressure or the entire ship could vaporize from the blazing heat.
>> I think that honestly they're both quick. I choose either or.
>> Congratulations. You survived anywhere from 30 to 90 seconds. But for the sake of the video, let's say you were in an indestructible spacecraft and managed to safely land on the planet's icy surface.
>> Doesn't matter. As soon as you step out experience then as you step out of the ship all >> I love this channel like I see like we have a [ __ ] a chance.
>> All the moisture in your body instantly flash boils then vaporizes leaving you dead within a couple of seconds.
>> Really?
>> Let's try that again. This time you're wearing an indestructible spaceacuit.
You see the glowing ice covered surface and you feel the spac suit high winds. You look up and are greeted with a dark black red sky. Powerful lightning storms light up the atmosphere, revealing the enormous and violent storms all around you.
>> Yeah, usually if a planet is under extreme conditions, there's going to be [ __ ] natural disasters. Earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, lightning.
>> Honestly, it's a pretty chill experience compared to what's to come. Number six, the terrifying gas planet HD8060 is yet another horrifying planet. A hot Jupiter gas.
>> Do y'all believe there's other elements out there that we are not aware of or like don't possess?
Really? I don't know. Is that ignorant to think of? Like saying I don't know. I believe there's other life out there. If you don't think there's life besides us in space, that's [groaning] grow up. But like I don't I I thought like other elements. What could we like? What would this element do for us? That's something to think about, brother. Space is infinite. It's growing. I'm aware. It's constantly being filled with this thing called dark matter.
>> Giant with a wildly elongated orbit that is about 11 times larger than Earth's radius. The reason why this planet is so scary has it's okay, guys. It's only 217 lighty years away.
>> Has to do with its incredibly wild temperature swings as it goes from deep space to nearly touching its star. When the planet is closest to its star, the temperature goes from around 450 to over 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
>> And it doesn't turn into a star.
Interesting. A gas planet is a failed star in a sense >> in just 6 hours. Now, I know it's hard to visualize these numbers. So, let me put it in a way we can all understand.
450° cooks a beautiful pizza, while 2,000° cooks a terrible pizza.
>> Hope that helps. But let the simulation begin. You are back in a modern-day spaceship and are about to enter the planet's atmosphere. Of course, you will be entering the planet at its hottest.
As you enter, the ship's speed instantly begins to accelerate at incredible speeds thanks to the planet's gravitational pool. Within seconds, the outside of the ship's temperature rises over 7,000°, which begins to erode the craft's heat shield. Around the 30-second mark, begin to descend past violent storms, high winds, and violent jet streams. As pieces of melt and vaporize, around 60 seconds, the hull begins to deform and eventually implode due to the everinccreasing atmospheric [music] pressure, which means you have imploded as well.
>> Oh, without a doubt.
>> Congratulations. You survived an entire minute. A new >> Yeah, I was about to say that's longer than the last planet.
>> Personal best. Let's try that again, but this time you invested in Bitcoin at 10 cents and were able to purchase an indestructible space. Don't remind me.
So, what would happen if you were to step out of the ship at the planet?
Looks like a looks like a a planet.
>> Actually already know some undiscovered elements due to calculations, atomic mass, and knowing about the electrons and all that sciency stuff.
>> All that sciency stuff. Really? I thought that the universe was capped at the elements that we've discovered on the planet and our neighboring planets cuz we've been to Mars and like we've taken Well, no, we haven't been to Mars, but we've sent a a sound so stupid saying that. Oh my god. We've been to the moon. The moon's just [ __ ] a giant [ __ ] rock. That's so interesting. What is out there, BRO? WE NEED TO GO TO MARS.
its buoyancy point, wearing no protective gear in less than a millisecond after the hatch opens, you would be crushed to a pole. My god. Then completely vaporized into the metallic ocean. Now, for that one person at NASA who accidentally let this video autoplay, I got you. If you were to step outside the ship, this time wearing a modern-day NASA space suit, you would be crushed to a pulk [laughter] and completely vaporized. This is because the atmosphere is millions to hundreds of millions of times more pressurized than Earth's >> and you are next to a [ __ ] sun.
>> Let's try that again, but this time you're wearing an indestructible and highly advanced spaceuit. As you exit the spaceship, you instantly lose sight of it in the hazy glowing infinite ocean. You no longer know up from down as you float suspended in the endless abyss. Out of nowhere, electrical currents trickle around you, giving off light. if only for a second. An absolute nightmare. Permanently stuck playing an ocean level. Number five, the disappearing planet. Cororo 7b's one of the hottest rocky planets ever discovered. A rocky super Earth.
Approximately 70% larger in radius than Earth. Now, what makes this planet so terrifying is its extreme proximity to its star as it is 60 times closer to its sun than Earth is. It is also tidily locked, meaning that the same side is always facing its star, creating a ocean on one side and a dark rocky oven inferno on the other. The planet reaches temperatures up to 3,600° F. I could take that, >> which is so hot that its rocky surface is literally evaporating into space, slowly shrinking the Oh, so over time, the planet's probably gone already then, though. Isn't that cool? The one thing that's really cool about space is we're looking into the past. All the stars we see, sure some could still exist, but a lot of them could have already been blown up. Light just takes so long to travel here. You could get a nice tan there. [screaming] You're on to something. Here's what would happen if you were to enter the planet's atmosphere with this state-of-the-art spacecraft. [music] Instantly, the craft's heat shield reaches over 7. I love the music. You know what's so me and the guys, we searched up that once a star explodes, it goes into supernova.
The explosion is so great that it is able to blow up neighboring solar systems and neighboring galaxies. Dude, do you know what that means? We could [ __ ] die at any moment and we wouldn't know. I could be in traffic like, "Oh, traffic again. I'm gone."
That could be happening right now. Right now. I could be up drinking my coffee on my patio. You wouldn't even realize. You wouldn't. So, like, don't live in fear.
You know what I mean? Or do it'll be instant. You're scaring us. No. Live every day happy. Oh my god, guys. This is supposed to be a wakeup call. Live life to the fullest. [laughter] Oh my god. Isn't that crazy, though?
Thousand° and begins to erode rapidly.
[music] Within 20 seconds, the craft's outer shell begins to crack and melt, destroying insulation and causing the inside of the ship's temperature to quickly rise, baking you alive. Don't worry about it, though, guys. Listen, we we'll be fine. Within 30 to 45 seconds, the entire ship is shredded to pieces, then quickly vaporized with no traces of its existence left behind. But let's say you were in an indestructible ship and managed to land on the planet's surface.
What would happen then? As the hatch opens, >> is that a dragon?
>> Your eyes, skin, and organs would vaporize in seconds. This is some [ __ ] that would happen to Meg and Family Guy, bro.
>> Before you ever see this happen, I always think about Meg. fell a thing.
>> God, I don't have a crush on her. She's [ __ ] >> That's rude. Never mind.
>> Let's try that again, but this time you're in an indestructible and highly advanced space suit. As you step out of the ship, you're instantly blinded by the sun.
>> I love the I love the character's face.
>> Since it's 360 times larger than our sun from Earth, luckily, you would be able to walk on the lava ocean. This molten rock is incredibly dense. It would feel like walking on burning tar that clings to your feet with every disgusting and sounds very painful.
>> But if you were lucky enough to spawn on the dark side of the planet, you would actually be able to walk around freely on solid ground.
>> Would it just be really cold?
>> At least when you're not busy being tossed hundreds of feet into the air by the planet's violent and powerful winds.
Number four, Wasp 127B. I think let's try to guess what could happen on this planet from this image alone. It's acidic rain.
Either that or this very sharp glasses.
I think it's going to be either glass or acid.
>> Wasp 127b. Wasp 127b is yet another incredibly horrifying planet. A gas giant that is about 15 times Earth's radius. One of the >> about like Jupiter then. That is a very pretty planet. The fact that these planets exist like what's their purpose, bro? What do we got? I don't know. They they just they're just there. Guys, don't worry. It's 520 lighty years away and if it was to come rapidly our way I have a plan.
>> The many reasons why this planet is so terri why do they exist? I don't know the big bang theory >> fine is that it currently holds the record for the highest winds ever recorded >> and we just know that I mean from looking at this image if this image is real I think I could safely assume and come to the conclusion that that shit's [ __ ] moving. Look at that. It's moving so fast that it's blurry. For reference, the highest non-torrnatic wind speed ever recorded on Earth is approximately 250 mph.
Non torrenatic. When the [ __ ] did that happen? Did I miss an event? Do we have like someone that could vouch for this in the chat? Someone's like, "Yeah, man.
I was there." Whoa, dude. How does that happen? Take a guess. Where? Somewhere with like just plain [ __ ] land.
Easter Island Heads that that [ __ ] Hold on. Let's see, bro. I'm actually like I'm curious. Where was 250 mph's wind speed recorded? What a sharp sentence. Hurricane the summit of Mount Washington. Oh, okay. It was Australia.
Australia? Really? Wait, what? Oh my god. Yeah. In 1996, 250 mph. Why do people willing? Like, why do y'all live there, man? Get out of there. Feel like every day there's some sort of like country disaster event going on. 250 mph, which is strong enough to send a human hundreds of feet into the air.
Neptune, we have some Australians in the chat.
Yo, was anybody around? Are y'all a victim? I'm really like I'm This is a safe space, yo. All right. Neptune. Oh, sorry. Why am I reading it? which has the highest winds in our solar system, has winds that reach as high as 1,500 mph. Faster than the speed of sound [music] and almost four times faster than the winds of Jupiter's red spot.
>> Four times faster than that, bro.
>> Winds this high would obliterate you on contact.
>> I believe it feels like a [ __ ] wall just smashing you >> your body to a cloud of vaporized tissue. But get this, >> tell me. Wasp 127B has a recorded wind speed of over 20,500 mph. I can't even fathom that. That shit's fast, man. I could probably like outrun that thing lowkey. A regular person hit by a wind for this strong would be completely erased from existence instantaneously.
But okay, let's say you manage to enter the planet's atmosphere. But okay, >> with a modern spacecraft, within 5 to 10 seconds, the craft's heat shield is destroyed by the thick metalrich atmosphere. Around the 15-second mark, the craft and everything inside is torn apart [music] and swept into the jetream. The craft and your body are shredded, scattered, and absorbed into the winds, erased so completely that it's as if you were never there. But just for fun, let's say.
>> But just for fun, let's say. Yeah.
>> You were a stormchaser with tech so advanced, you could fly into these storms in an indestructible spacecraft, stepped out in an indestructible space suit.
>> You could go flying around.
>> You would instantly be taken by the wind and crushed inside of the suit from the extreme G-forces, separating soft tissue from the bone.
>> Oh my god, I completely forgot about the G-forces. That's insane.
>> Obviously, the suit still needs a bit of work. Number three, >> the iron rain. Is it just iron raining?
>> The iron rain furnace.
>> Oh my god, it's just molten lava. Just [ __ ] raining.
>> Wasp 76b.
>> Ew. Come give me a kiss.
>> Is a terrifying hot Jupiter gas giant infamous for its molten iron rain. And >> that's a cool picture. It's a very cool picture. I like that. I mean, I wouldn't go there.
>> Winds that reach over 10,000 mph. The planet is massive, nearly twice the size of Jupiter's radius and around 20 times Earth's. The planet is also so close to its star that it's tidily locked. One side is forever scorched by intense heat, while the other remains a dark, hellish landscape lit only by its molten iron rain. But let's say you were placed in charge of a modern spacecraft and enter the planet's atmosphere on its sunny side. The craft will immediately report temperatures hotter than molten lava around the 3second. I love the music >> mark. The heat begins to destroy the craft's heat shield thanks to the iron vapor in the atmosphere. And around the 5 to 10 second mark, the craft's entire structure begins to melt, which includes you. Around the 20 second mark, the entire craft and you are nothing but debris taken by the high winds, which eventually get so hot that they vaporize, leaving no traces of your existence. Since I've already covered what would happen a ship at the buoyancy point of a gas planet, let's switch it up a bit. This time, you're an adrenaline junkie looking for your next fix. So, you'll be skydiving into the gulping down some air. Within a fraction of a second, you're incinerated.
>> Oh my god, I love like the whatifs, dude. Like, what if you do land safely and you hop out? Doesn't matter. You breathe, you're dead. [laughter] Now, just because I know you're wondering, let's say you skydived on the dark side of the planet away from its sun.
>> Doesn't matter. Isn't there still [ __ ] molten rain falling from the sky?
>> Within a fraction of a second, your skin and eyes flash boil. Your lungs and organs collapse under the atmospheric pressure.
>> Oh my god. As your body is ragdalled across the sky, molten iron rain sears through your crushed body. Within 1 to two seconds, the scorching wind shred you into tiny pieces, which quickly sizzle into vapor carried away by the storm.
>> So, I don't mean to look like a psychopath. I'm over here just smiling.
Like, I find this all very fascinating.
>> But let's say you exited the craft wearing an indestructible space suit and decided to skydive into the planet. What would you experience then?
>> Let me guess. Let me guess. Let me guess. Let me guess. Molten hot. We're landing. We have an indestructible suit.
indestructible [ __ ] spaceship. It's really hot. The winds are not that high.
I think once we land, it might just be like the floor is so hot that it sticks to your [ __ ] outfit. I don't see us dying in this scenario. I think it'd be so hot. No, if the suit's indestructible, that means internally inside the suit, we should not feel any consequences from the heat. So, what's going to happen to us? Air pressure. Oh, I think the planet is too close to the sun, which makes it more dense, which m which which makes the gravity more let's see.
>> As you freef fall through thin gas clouds, your descent quickly increases in speed. A few minutes later, the sky shifts into a glowing orange haze as you continue passing through thick vapors in the atmosphere. Out of nowhere, your body is violently spun and tossed in random directions as supersonic winds slam into you. That's when the noise of the storm roars all around you as if you were inside a massive hurricane.
Lightning storms arc overhead, exposing the alien metallic clouds in the environment. Around this point, you will see the infamous molten iron rain spreading as far as your eyes can see.
As you continue to fall deeper into the I think I would just die from like information. Not even information, just [ __ ] I would be I'd die from just being mentally exhausted. I'm being tossed around constantly. I'mma die from a migraine.
>> Atmosphere light fades. Sounds disappear as you are submerged deeper into the reflective ocean of metallic hydrogen.
>> Ocean.
>> Once you finally reach the planet's core, you will be completely surrounded by what looks like a glowing fog made of superheated matter. Your final resting place. Wow. Okay, so we have an indestructible [ __ ] suit. We can live there. planet being eaten alive. Wasp 12b is one of the most unique and terrifying planets ever discovered. Look like a junkie, man. He's [ __ ] tweaking out. This is what the planet looks like. That is so cool. I think the reason why this gas planet is not turning into a star is cuz it's not dense enough. There's not enough mass in the planet to compress and explode and turn into a star. That has to be the reason why. Only 1,300 LIGHTY YEARS AWAY. WOW. I might be around to see that.
>> Disgusting. The reason it looks >> disgusting.
>> Disgusting. It looks cool.
>> The reason it looks so ugly and deformed is that it's currently in a death spiral with its star slowly being eaten alive.
A visible trail of gas can be the nearby star. Its close proximity to its star also means it's tidily locked. So, one side is forever scorched with radiation and heat, while the other is forever scorched with radiation and heat, >> but also completely dark. The planet is a hot Jupiter gas giant that is almost twice the radius of Jupiter and nearly 22 times Earth. How is it not?
>> Let's get to the good stuff. Let's say you were to enter the planet's atmosphere on the ugly deformed side.
Well, surprisingly, you would still be pulled towards the planet rather than the star.
>> This range, the planet's gravitational pull is much stronger. The moment you enter, the craft's heat shield begins to glow from the intense heat. Temperature inside quickly begins to skyrocket as well.
>> It's like a sauna. Around the 5 to 20 second mark, winds as high as 1,000 mph slam into the craft, vaporizing the craft's shielding at incredible speed.
Then around the 20 to 60sec mark, the entire ship is fully consumed, shredded apart into molten debris as the metal becomes liquid before everything eventually vaporizes. Let's try again, but this time you've entered the cheat code indestructible spacecraft. [music] And instead of exiting at the planet's atmosphere, buoyancy point or core, you will be exiting here, right at the center of the planet.
>> We're going to get ripped apart. That is the worst spot to [ __ ] exit.
>> Planet and its star. Time to find out whether you would go towards the star or towards the planet. I mean, I got money on the sun. The whole [ __ ] planet is being sucked in by the sun. Planet.
Place your bets. And three. How'd he know I was going to place a bet? I'm going right. That's why I'm saying you're going to get ripped apart. That's why That's You know what? I'm going to say the middle. Two. One. Go. I knew it.
>> Okay. Try again. But this time, we're shedding the bulk and heavy weight of the ship. Only wearing a light and indestructible spaceuit. Where would you go then? Place your bets. And three, two, one. sources tell me, word of mouth, it's I I still believe we're going to stay in the middle. I mean, if it if it's not the middle, the sun surely wins. The sun has to win. The sun is sucking the planet, so it's going to suck us. [laughter] >> Go.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Obviously, you head towards the star again.
>> No duh, dude. Like, what are we doing here?
>> That should have been really, really obvious. Number one, the glass storm pl.
What? It's so cute. Look, even the the the picture looks great.
>> HD189733b is a hellish planet. That is >> That is so [ __ ] pretty.
I like how these planets are getting closer and closer to us. It was like in the [ __ ] 20,000 lighty years away to 1300 >> than any nightmare you could ever possibly dream of.
>> HD. HD. We We gave it the name HD cuz it look at that, bro. That shit's so [ __ ] beautiful.
>> The planet is enormous. around 15 times Earth's radius. From the outside looking in, it appears to be a larger version of Earth covered with beautiful tropical beaches. But I guess it's time to find out what would happen if you were to enter this planet's atmosphere.
>> Freeze to death, insta frostbite, shards of ice being blown into you.
>> You are back in a modern-day spacecraft and have just entered what you thought was a vacation getaway. Instantly, [music] the ship begins to glow due to the high heat of the atmosphere. A great sign that you picked the right day to go to the beach. Around the 5-second mark, the craft's heat shield begins to warp, melt, and vaporize. 10 seconds in, supersonic winds slam into the craft as molten glass particles in the atmosphere shred the craft to tiny pieces. Within [music] 20 to 30 seconds, the tiny pieces of the craft and you are completely vaporized and carried away by the wind. It turns out that the planet isn't a giant ocean of water. It's almost entirely made up of scorching hot hydrogen and helium. Reaches a whopping 2,200.
>> [ __ ] it. That's hot, dude. Even I don't think I can survive that.
>> F has stronger winds than Neptune, and even rains molten glass sideways, making it a horrible planet to vacation to. So, you're probably wondering, why the hell is the planet blue if it wasn't meant to have any visitors?
If you're thinking that, bro. Oh my god.
God bless your heart. I got to pee, bro.
Hold on.
[music] >> Cuz look, it's so beautiful, bro. It's so It's so blue and it looks so welcoming. Well, that's because the planet's atmosphere contains tiny particles of glass, which are great at scattering blue light, making it the worst scam in the known universe.
>> That is cool. So, it's it's uh catfishing.
>> Reason why it deserves the number one spot. And yes, just like all gas planets, the simulation always ends the same. Instant vaporization anywhere on the planet, followed by suspended in the dark metallic oceans. It's a gas lighter.
>> Honestly, we are sick of these planets and we hate them.
Yep. Wait, no, I don't hate them. The [ __ ] Like, why do you hate it?
[music]
