When an astronomer says 'it's far", it's very very far. When an astronomer says "it's large", it's mind-bogglingly large. When an astronomer says "it's bonkers"...
This is very exciting. We can't be sure that any of these collisions will result in large moons orbiting Earth-like planets, but it surely means that Earth-Moon-like combinations are more common in the universe than we previously thought. In a young star system, any growing trojan that reaches 10% of the mass of its main planet will have its orbit destabilized, and simulations I've done on the public-facing solar system simulator on the University of Colorado website seem to indicate that a collision between the two is a not-uncommon result. Furthermore, the simulated collisions are often close to the 45 degree angle that we think happened with the Earth-Theia collision, and which seems to be one of the conditions for a moon to be created rather than both planets being destroyed. I can't wait for more news on Gaia20ehk, thanks!
The moon may make complex life possible, but bacteria probably wouldn’t notice too much if it wasn’t there.
Wonderful as always Anton. Thank you. ☺
this would have been awesome to see with my own eyes.
Was the hale marry book written before the tabby star case or before and tabby star happened to fit a bio signature
11,600 light‑years away! So now we just have to wait 3.5 billion years to see i life develops.
That's why when someone derisively asks "Who would want to live forever?" - I answer: "I do!" I want to see events like this with my own eyes. Planets being born. Life blooming on them. Glory of a night sky near the center of a galaxy.
8:45 I would say that rather than the Moon being necessary for life on Earth at all, it has helped stabilize Earth to create the conditions for long-term evolution into **complex** life. This is of course just a guess, but the things the Moon does for Earth mainly keeps life stable rather than provide the conditions for life in the first place.
This is amazing and so exciting discovery. Thank you wonderful Anton for bringing it to us on your channel!!
