Kids, Learn about outer space and astronomy with the Nirks! Vincent and the Nirks are back for their newest outer space adventure! It's time to Meet more Exoplanets - Weird Worlds! Exoplanets are planets that orbit other stars in solar systems beyond our own. And these exoplanets are Weird! Join Vincent as he takes you way out into the cosmos to meet some of the strangest and most bizarre planets discovered outside of our solar system! There are Zombie Planets, Puffy Planets, tiny planets, Rogue Planets, Hot Jupiters, and even a screaming planet! Enjoy exploring the cosmos with Vincent! A fun and exciting musical way to learn about astronomy and science. Let's see who we meet!
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?
The Kepler Space Telescope found me, the smallest known exoplanet, I’m tiny
Orbiting a star much like your own, my name is Kepler 37 b
I’m only slightly larger than your moon and smaller than Mercury
So close to my star, I’m hot with no atmosphere and one orbit only takes 13 days to complete
I’m a tidally locked, Hot Jupiter gas giant named WASP-17 b (also called Ditsö̀)
I only take 3.7 days to orbit my star and I orbit backwards or in retrograde you see
Much larger than Jupiter but only half the mass, I’m extremely puffy
Not only made up of Hydrogen and Helium gas but I also have nano quartz crystals on me
CHORUS: 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
I’m a COol Companion ON Ultrawide orbiTS or abbreviated Coconuts-2 b
A very cold gas giant planet about 6.3 times the mass of Jupiter, that’s me
Day and night on my surface look the same because I’m about 7,506 AU from my cool M-type star
I’m very slow, it takes me over 1.1 million years to complete just 1 orbit because I am so far
I’m a survivor, burned and scarred, one of the hottest planets found, even hotter than your Sun can be
When my star ran out of hydrogen after about 10 billion years, it swelled up dramatically
I used to be like Jupiter, but my star consumed me, and now I’m smaller than Earth you see
I survived a trip that would destroy most other planets, but may be evaporating, I’m KOI 55 b (or Kepler-70b)
I’m PH1 or Kepler 64b, I have not one star, or two or three
A quadruple star system! I’m in an orbit that is called circumbinary
Every 137 days I orbit a binary star, but that’s not all there is to see
900 AU from me is another binary star in an orbit around my double star and me
CHORUS
I’m a very fluffy world, nicknamed “candy floss”, but, I’m not sweet I’m WASP 107-b
I have scorching temperatures, raging winds and smell like burnt matches because of water vapor and sulfur dioxide on me
Like Earth, I cycle my clouds through gas and liquid states but it’s not water showers you will see
My clouds are made up of silicate particles that rain down sand on me
I make my star wobble, because of my large size and gravitational effects, I’m LHS 3154
I’m a monster of a planet in a very close orbit to an extremely cool dwarf star
I’m too big for my star or it’s too small for me, either way I shouldn’t exist
How I was formed is a mystery, but my star and do coexist
CHORUS
My full name would take forever to say, so call me “Simp,” I’m bizarre
I’m roaming the Milky Way all alone, I’m a rogue planet without a star
I’m massive like my name, and very hot which is strange because I have no star to provide the heat
My magnetic field is 4 million times stronger than Earths, I have stunning auroras and a possible exo moon to meet
AHHH! I’m a screaming planet known as HD 80606 b, and I ask you WHY?
With a 111 day extreme elliptical orbit, I graze my star every time I come nearby
I’ll never escape this torturous nightmare cycle of having my atmosphere boiled to over 2000 degrees
And the howling of my supersonic winds and shockwave storms is the sound of my screams!
We’re Zombie planets, orbiting our undead Neutron star known as the Lich Pulsar
The creepiest exoplanets found yet, Our names are Poltergeist, Phobetor and Draugr
Our rapidly rotating pulsating star consumes us with endless radiation we can’t fight
It constantly pulses down on us like a lighthouse beacon and lights up our skies with Auroras like your Northern lights
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
