Description

The Solar System is the gravitationally bound system of the Sun and the planets that orbit it. But what if we replace the Sun with some other extreme space objects? First of all, all the planets will lose their light source. Some of the planets might even freeze and the Earth won't be an exception. Normally, black holes are so far away that we can't see them even with a telescope. But something strange has happened and a black hole entered our Solar System and managed to replace our Sun! Let's see what consequences this would have for us and the neighboring planets... #brightside Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices [https://megaphone.fm/adchoices]

Bizzare System Where a Single Planet Orbits 3 Suns

We're used to having only one star in our Solar System: the Sun. It's a hot ball of glowing gases and holds our Solar System together. We on Earth can observe the motion of the Sun at beautiful sunrise or sunset. Just imagine two sunsets at a time - on a planet that has two suns! It's a real thing. Kepler 16b is a cold place made of half rock, half gas. But it has two suns, so you'd also have two shadows there. There's been discovered an even cooler planet: it orbits 3 suns! It's a gas giant similar to Jupiter and about 1,300 light-years from Earth. Let's travel right to that planet and explore the gravitational balance that holds the system together! #brightside Learn more about your ad choices.
