All language subtitles for THE SIGHTS OF SPACE_ A Voyage to Spectacular Alien Worlds (inglés_ASR)

[Music]

[Music]

all right

[Music]

[Music]

this is the novice three

an imaginary ship that can take you

anywhere in the Milky Way

maiden voyage will take you on a tour of

the wildest planets we have yet

discovered

worlds of burning ice

planets hotter than Stars

with clouds made of metal

[Music]

zombie worlds born From the Ashes of

dead ones

and hundreds of billions more are

waiting for us in our galaxy alone

these worlds will give us a glimpse into

how deep Nature's imagination goes

and create a map for future Pioneers who

might one day plant their flags on

landscapes we can hardly imagine

foreign

[Music]

as our journey to new worlds begins we

set sail for the closest Alien Planet 40

trillion kilometers away

[Music]

but the long road to our Cosmic neighbor

is paved with strange sights of its own

just an orbit of Neptune we slip into a

No Man's Land of icy Cosmic debris that

surrounds our solar system

paper belt

[Music]

this massive disc of Frozen material

contains hundreds of millions of icy

scraps

leftovers from the formation of our

solar system

out here

among the scattered bits of rock and Ice

live something strange

how Maya

a tumbling dwarf planet shaped like an

egg

foreign

Two Moons in an icy ring this bizarre

pluto-sized world is the fastest

spinning object in our solar system

[Music]

splashed across its surface is a

mysterious red spot

possibly a scar from a recent impact

and how Maya is not alone

there's a whole Eccentric Family of many

worlds lurking out here

dwarf planets like makeemake

and gong gong a red tinted mini Pluto

with a thin atmosphere of methane

the Kuiper belt could hold as many as

200 dwarf planets

and thousands more could be floating in

the space beyond

foreign

worlds may serve as a cosmic base camp

for Interstellar voyagers

[Music]

a final Outpost still bound to our sun

[Music]

and when we finally outgrow our home

system

the one nearest to Earth will be waiting

Alpha Centauri

in this triple star system a tiny red

dwarf star known as Proxima Centauri

orbits around a pair of sun-like stars

Alpha Centauri A and B

[Music]

as we approach Proxima the closest of

the Stellar Trio were greeted by two

huge dust belts that Circle the star

but further in we come to the real Gem

of this system

welcome to Proxima Centauri B the

closest exoplanet to home

with a mass almost identical to Earth's

and a density that suggests a rocky

composition this distant Earth cousin

orbits right inside its star's habitable

zone

giving it potential to hold liquid water

given how near and similar it is to

Earth perhaps this will be the first

Outpost for mankind around another star

[Music]

visitors could gaze up to see Proxima

Centauri and its two sister Sons

God

and on a clear night

our own son

a distant glimpse of home

[Applause]

but there's still a lot we don't know

about our Cosmic neighbor

star is so volatile that Stellar flares

could shock the planet into a lifeless

state

[Music]

the only way to know for sure is to go

there ourselves

missions are now being proposed that

could reach this system in as little as

20 years

using nanopropes powered by light sales

[Music]

ever touched down on Proxima Centauri B

it will become the site of the most

transformative event in human history

[Music]

foreign

mankind became an Interstellar species

[Music]

as we push farther into space we leave

the familiar behind and come across a

world beyond all human comprehension

gliesa 436b is about as different from

Earth as you can get

orbiting extremely close to its star its

surface is a scorching 438 degrees

Celsius

on a planet this hot you might expect to

find vast Seas of magma

but this neptune-sized world is

something else entirely

[Music]

a world of burning ice

[Music]

its massive gravity compresses water

vapor in the atmosphere into an exotic

form of ice called ice seven

foreign

that the ice can withstand burning

temperatures without evaporating

but the atmosphere is another story

blasted into space by the star's immense

Heat

and as the Starlight pushes on the

escaping gas it leaves behind a

comet-like tail

nine million miles long

[Music]

most planets in the universe will be

hostile to humans

but 39 light years away a tiny red dwarf

star is home to a potential planetary

Oasis

[Applause]

[Music]

trappist-1 system

a family of seven rocky planets huddled

closely around their Sun

these earth-sized worlds orbit so

closely together that the whole system

would fit easily inside the orbit of

Mercury

the inner two are suspected to be

venus-like

searing hot and covered in dense clouds

[Music]

and the outer planet trappist-1 H is

thought to be as cold as the South Pole

foreign

but four of the middle worlds orbit in

the star's habitable zone making this

system a possible Bonanza for life

trappist-1e is one of the single most

promising candidates for habitability

that we know of

and each of these worlds is far older

than Earth

giving potential life forms here a three

billion year Head Start

but this system has a catch

each of the planets are theorized to be

tidally locked with one side stuck

facing their sun and the other side

permanently exposed to the cold void of

space

temperature extremes could make it hard

for life to find a foothold

but in the right conditions one of these

worlds could hold vast oceans on the

sun-facing side where the star's heat is

just enough for liquid water

[Music]

an eyeball Earth

appearing like a glistening watery Iris

staring into space

[Music]

others could have a habitable strip of

land between dark and Light

the Terminator line

where the temperature is just right

[Music]

a Haven for Life between scorched Earth

and eternal winter

the Trappist planets are now a prime

target of the James Webb Space Telescope

which will gaze into their atmospheres

in search of Bio signatures

if our descendants ever reach this

system

they will look up to see The Sibling

planets decorating the sky

each clinging to the heat of their dim

red star

like campers around a fire

foreign

Beyond

64 light years away lies a world that

looks deceptively peaceful

a world where pasty white clouds float

above Lush deep shades of blue foreign

but as we get closer

this gas giant is anything but friendly

the winds here are the fastest known in

space

25 times faster than the strongest

recorded hurricanes

foreign

and those Cool Blues you saw from space

they're shards of silicate particles as

sharp as glass and they're being blown

sideways across the world with you at

seven times the speed of sound

if that wasn't enough to kill you then

the extreme heat would do the trick

the atmosphere here is so hot that it

can melt solid gold

and that intense heat is causing it to

evaporate at a rate of up to 1.3 billion

pounds a second

on this world from hell

even the sky wants to escape

[Music]

[Music]

as we journey the dark Cosmic highways

400 light years from Earth out of the

darkness comes a truly brilliant sign

[Music]

this newborn Planet might look familiar

at first

but compared to Saturn this massive

world is the true Lord of the Rings

this ring system is 200 times larger

nearly 120 million kilometers wide

almost the distance from the Earth to

the Sun

foreign

[Music]

[Music]

if Saturn's rings were this massive they

would be easily visible at night and

appear far larger than the moon

[Music]

researchers suspect that within a gap in

the Rings there lies a huge Moon bigger

than Mars where the views would resemble

something from an acid trip

over time the surrounding Rings will

condense to form a whole family of moons

possibly hundreds of them

but for now they offer a site unlike any

we've ever seen

evidence that our home solar system has

not prepared us for how varied and

dazzling other systems can be

[Music]

foreign

by some estimates nearly half of All

sun-like Star systems contain more than

one Sun implying billions of Worlds that

are home to Poetic twin sunsets

worlds that orbit not just two or three

but even four stars

[Music]

lands where your body casts multiple

shadows and you can gaze up at sunsets

and sunrises at the same time

foreign

this is an actual image of a three-star

system in the Orion Nebula revealing

massive rings of gas and dust whirling

around a triplet of newborn Stars

and within this Twisted swirl of debris

there's evidence of a hidden planet

carving out a gap in the gas and dust

the first planet known to orbit three

stars at once

[Music]

[Music]

then there are worlds that seem more

like stars themselves than planets

this huge scorching gas giant is tidally

locked to its star with the day side

that reaches a blistering 3000 degrees

Celsius hotter than the surface of some

Stars

dream heat heavy metals are lofted into

the atmosphere from the planet's

interior

as violent winds blow these metals to

the night facing side something

incredible happens

cooler atmosphere particles of iron

magnesium and other heavy elements

condense into clouds made of metal

foreign

huge metallic dust storms could rage

from one hemisphere to the other

unleashing a torrential rain of liquid

gemstones

this isn't the only planet of riches out

there

[Music]

21 light years from Earth this

supermassive rocky planet could be the

ultimate piece of cosmic bling

high concentrations of aluminum and

calcium pressurized under its extreme

atmosphere possibly forming vast

deposits of rubies and sapphires

[Music]

foreign

and scientists believe there could even

be planets of pure diamond out there

[Music]

with its equal ratio of carbon to oxygen

wasp 12b could potentially hold a

Diamond core

[Music]

but even if it does you'd never see it

from space

[Music]

shrouded in dark clouds of methane and

carbon monoxide that trap 94 of light

making it darker than black coal

[Music]

and its proximity to its star is causing

gravity to stretch the planet into the

shape of an egg

[Music]

but this diamond space egg has a death

sentence

its Stars intense gravity is pulling it

towards a fiery Extinction giving it

only three million years to live

[Music]

but for some worlds

death is not the end of the story

when massive stars go supernova the

ensuing blast wipes out any planets in

the vicinity

[Music]

death of one world can sometimes lead to

the birth of another

in the wake of this explosion certain

Stars collapse into rapidly spinning

cores called pulsars

sucking up huge amounts of Stellar

debris

on the Outer Edge can cool and condense

until finally a new world is formed

a zombie planet

built From the Ashes of the Dead

[Music]

foreign

worlds like this are exceedingly rare

but 2300 light years away this

billion-year-old Pulsar is the keeper of

not one but three potential zombie

planets

foreign

the closest Inn is drauger

[Music]

a tiny Rocky World smaller than Mercury

likely strip bare from intense x-ray

radiation

then we come to the first two exoplanets

ever discovered

a pair of zombie super Earths known as

Poltergeist

fobatar

each more than triple the mass of the

Earth

[Music]

soaked in the strobing light of their

dead stars the view from these planets

would be utterly alien

charged particles from the Pulsar would

rain down on the surface which could

light up the night skies with brilliant

auroras

[Music]

drenched in deadly x-rays with no living

star for warmth

it may seem impossible for worlds like

this to sustain life

but on planets with extremely thick

atmospheres those x-rays could convert

into heat supporting liquid water on the

surface

[Music]

and maybe even life

[Music]

know

thriving on a zombie planet

[Music]

exploded star

[Music]

[Music]

as we reach the farthest point in our

journey over 2 000 light years from

Earth

we have still only scratched the surface

of what's out there

[Music]

700 quadrillion other worlds are still

waiting

[Music]

planets that are drenched in light from

the Blazing center of the Galaxy

[Music]

World circling the rims of super massive

black holes

giant water planets with oceans that

reach thousands of kilometers deep

foreign

to visit these far-off lands is a dream

only our descendants can realize

if they ever set foot on alien soil and

feel the heat of new Suns they will

remember us as the first generation to

know these worlds

to study their formation and their

nature

[Music]

and to dream of one day

calling some of them

home

[Music]
