    "This means it doesn't rotate." Incorrect. A planet, moon etc that is tidally locked simply means that it's rotational and orbital periods are synchronous. For example, for the earth to be tidally locked so that one side constantly faced the sun and the other looked out into space, the Earth's rotational period would be 365 days, the same time it takes to orbit the sun once would be the same amount of time to rotate once on its axis.

    This was a fun watch. Scary thing is we just scratched the surface of exoplanets. So many more that can be far more terrifying that are yet to be discovered. Also, a very good balance of Peter and Chase. Loved the format.

    A piece of advice.

    This channel doesn't feel as it used to do.
    It's turning more towards an entertainment channel rather than an educational one.
    I would love more of the educational once rather than pushing it to make entertaining.

    This is insane… I just watched a video
    that goes even deeper into this. The part
    about the brain surging at death literally
    kept me up all night. Anyone else feel like
    we're never taught this stuff? ๐Ÿง

    Regarding number 8- WASP-12B:
    If it is pitch black, how can it glow at the same time? Would you kindly clarify, please? Thank you!

    i love these videos, but to think of it, these are just theories and intelligent assumptions, heck, we canโ€™t even explore the oceans 100% yet
