Hello! Vincent and the Nirks are back for their newest adventure! It's time to Meet the Exoplanets Part 2! Exoplanets are planets that orbit other stars. In solar systems beyond our own. Join Vincent as he takes you to meet some of the most strange and mysterious planets discovered outside of our solar system.
Lyrics:
Out Beyond the 8 planets that you already know
There are many more solar systems to explore and we should go
Different stars that have their own planets and their own solar systems
Would you like to go with me and see if we can meet some?
I’m TOI 1338, and I was a surprising discovery
I was found by a teenage intern named Wolf Cukier that just started work at NASA recently
I orbit both stars in my solar system - they are binary
So, I experience stellar eclipses very regularly
If you are a Star Trek fan, then you will definitely be a fan of me
Unofficially known as Vulcan, I was discovered where Star Trek predicted Vulcan to be
I orbit an orange star in a triple star system named 40 Eridani A
Only About 16 light years from Earth, I’m 40 Eridani A b - come visit me someday
Let’s Go Meet an exoplanet – they orbit other stars
Some are very similar, some very different from ours
Strange and mystical worlds with wonders beyond imagination
Let’s go find some Exoplanets and see if we can meet them
My name is CoRoT 7b and I’m bad to the bone
I’ve been mistaken for the underworld, so You definitely wouldn’t want to call me home
I’m close to my star, one orbit takes only 20 hours, My surface is covered in volcanos and lava, not flowers
The sky literally falls on me, as I rain down rocks you see, A real nightmare it would be if you lived on me
PSR J1719-1438b
I have a really long name, but that’s not all that’s special about me
I orbit an actual millisecond pulsar – a super-fast spinning neutron star
And I’m so incredibly dense, I’m probably made of crystalline carbon or a giant diamond, how bizarre
I’m darker than night, I absorb the light, I’m TrES-2b
I’m gas giant planet a little bigger than Jupiter, but I’m definitely not jolly
Darker than coal, with an eerie red glow, I can be a little bit scary,
Consumed by heat and darkness, you’ll never know the secrets that I carry
CHORUS
A glamourous exoplanet, I’m GJ (Gliese) – 504b
What can I say, I love pink! It’s the color that looks best on me
I’m an extremely hot gas giant planet 4 times more massive than Jupiter
My incredibly intense heat causes me to glow pink, or magenta if you prefer
I’m under so much pressure and high temperatures I’m 55 Cancri e
Beneath my molten lava surface could be a precious diamond because I have such high density
I also have lots of silicates in my atmosphere reflecting light making my sky sparkly
And through my sparkly sky you would see my sibling planet Galileo watching over me
CHORUS
They call me Osiris (HD 209458 b)
I’m an evaporating gas giant, soon just a core is all that will be left of me
My atmosphere has hydrogen, carbon and oxygen that are all evaporating away
Orbiting close to a yellow star like your sun, my hydrogen tail creates quite a display
A beautiful azure blue HD 189773b
But don’t let my appearance fool you, there is nothing calm about me
My atmosphere is filled with particles of glass, my wind speeds are extremely fast
Blowing faster than the speed of sound, I have storms of sideways raining glass swirling all around
I’m Kepler 1625b a gas giant that is very special you see
Because I may have an exomoon orbiting around me
We could be a binary planet too, but our size ratio is much like Earth and your moon
My companion’s exomoon status is still waiting to be confirmed, we hope it will be soon
Now you’ve met some exoplanets – they orbit other stars
In their very own solar systems far outside of ours
Strange and mystical worlds with wonders beyond imagination
Keep looking at the stars and maybe you’ll discover one
