Binary and multiple star systems are the most common in the universe. Single star systems like our own are actually rare.

My second favorite system behind our own. Can't wait until the James Webb takes a look.

Obligatory message to tell everyone to read ‘The Three Body Problem’ by Cixin Liu

There is this UKpostsr named Cody'sLab who filmed size comparisons using a pea as our Sun, a grain of sand as Earth, and a Football field as part of our solar system. If you put the Sun at the in-zone, then travel to Alpha Centuri, it took him multiple hours of driving OUT OF STATE to get to the location. It was nuts.

"In spite of all difficulties, the secrets of the universe are slowly giving way to our tenacity, and every day, space is getting a little closer." Wow! That line made me smile.

Loved the moving diagram of a 3 sun system...just imagine how many different alignments, eclipses, seasons etc exist on the exoplanets there. The Universe is an amazingly mysterious place. Thanks for sharing, just subbed 🙏🏼

Only a few of Earths radio broadcasts are at 100,000Kw and due to the D^2 law, that signal is lost in the galactic background radio noise at about 2.2 light years. So no, our broadcasts haven't reached even Alpha Centauri. Some RADAR and very high power directional signals yes, but due to angular movements, those have to be aimed precisly at, and track, a receiver to convey any meaningful information. Otherwise, it's just a "wow" moment.

The work and production in these is top end. Keep up the excellent work!

This kind of stuff really intrigues me. Can't fathom such distances with my mind and yet there are much farther distances in the universe. Totally mind blowing

So the short story is that for people who love the old Alpha Centauri game, there's way too little chance there's a planet in a habitable zone that could stay as such long term.

These videos just keep getting more intuitive and aesthetically pleasing!

this video just got you a sub, i love anything space related and this just made me feel like a kid again learning about the planets and stars. thank you for making me feel that way again. cant wait to watch all your other content!

The music of this video is in 5/7

Read the Sci-fi trilogy: The Three Body Problem. Was an international best seller out of China. About the Tri-Solarans and our place in the Dark Forest of the Universe.

Actually it is expected that our radio and TV broadcast range stops being a useful signal at a range of about 1-5 LY away. Physical proof is the difficulty maintaining contact with Voyager I and II.

Very well done video . I loved the images transitions perfectly tuned with the speech and sound effects .

Everyone knows there are Trisolarians living there.

So love Kosmo. Teaches me so much in plain beautifully spoken English, stunning graphics that show me what I could see if I were close enough. Many thanks. Never stop your amazing work.

Your videos are among the best on the internet. Thank you so much for all of the time and work you put in, so we can grow our minds. Excellent quality as well.

The Homeworld series really gave me appreciation for how tiny we are. Imo not the best rts series mechanically but its atmosphere and soundtrack blew me away.

Thank you for making this beautiful channel. I just found you guys. These are fantastic, fact-based productions you are putting out and I just want to thank you. I'll support you with a Patreon if I can. Like many other curious people, I love learning more about our cosmic neighborhood!

I always think about if we can even find a way to go 1/4 the speed of light we could be at Alpha Centauri in 17.5 years

Thank you . no one else has explained the Proxima system so well . very good animation

The solid production really clarifies the concepts identified by your solid research. Not just a series of pretty pictures as on many other science channels. Great work, keep it coming!

4.4 light years seems puny is galactic terms, but it’s freakin massive like we are talking about a star system 20 trillion miles away!!! Now think of a star 20 light years away, that would be a bigger distance

Life kept me occupied (as it always does), so hearing that the James Webb had a successful unfurling and is transmitting data, is fantastic news! Also, Breakthrough Starshot is news. Those microprobes are so... out there in terms of design, I'll definitely have to do more research. Last but not least, this is my first channel view, and your style of reporting had me hooked from the first moment. Great work!

This is the sort of presentation where your mind goes into full absorb-mode and you awaken at the end as if from a refreshing nap. Thanks for the mind-meld!

I love how accurate you are, not only with what we know but also with your wording. If there ever was an objective way to talk about facts, you sir are very close to perfection.

I love the star shot thing! That’s super cool! If your timeline is correct on the estimate of when we should be sending those out, I may not be alive to hear their findings, but just knowing that our little jellyfish looking things are floating out there in space will be cool lol

Loved the details and the presentation. The only thing I can think of that was missing was a description of the relative motions of Sol and Centauri. Will we be getting closer together over the next few hundred thousand to a million years, or have we already reached the closest point and are starting to separate?

Love this video and your calm voice. subscribed.

From Vega to the Arcturus system, to the Gliese system to the Altair and Ross systems- the Sirius and of course the Alpha Centauri systems - hoping the JWST gets pointed at them and finds more incredible discoveries that help us understand where we are in the Galaxy and whats around us within 50 light years.

You guys ever wonder if another civilization is just watching our planet because it's similar to theirs but still cant reach us? Like they could be watching a video of Earth and wondering if in their lifetime they would ever be able to make contact.

I was delighted to find this video. I had recently bought all three of the Arthur Templar series for my grandson for Christmas. I have to confess I wrapped the covers of each book so that I could read them all without marking them. I really loved them. I think my grandson will, too. I don’t want to give anything away about the plot, but Proxima Centauri figures in the trilogy. If you like a cool read situated in speculative fiction, then it’s a well-written trilogy and worth a read. The trilogy shares the Banner ‘Arthur Templar and the’ The first one is The Curse of the Nibiru, The second one is The Secret Codex, and the last one is the Serpo Gambit. I enjoyed each one.

I can't believe someone has already travelled there and filmed the stars and planets, hope he makes it back safe.

4:48 As King David hath said. O LORD You spread the heavens out. Like a curtain.

I have taken actual photos of Centauri A and B. I managed to seperate then with my 10 inch telescope I posted a video of my results,and showed a comparison with Chandra and Hubble's images. It can be seen on my UKposts channel called Screedy.

In February 2022, a third planet, Proxima Centauri d, was confirmed.

A job well done. It was like a lightening tour of Alpha Centauri. My favorite stars in a straight line.

A very good presentation! I just subscribed to the channel. Please continue with the informative videos.

Excellent, particularly the animation containing the three stars rotating around the common centre of mass. Please keep up the good work. Thank you very much for this video.

How very exciting! I had not heard of the other two hypothetical planets in the Proxima Centauri system. I hope they turn out to be something interesting.

JWST will tell us what we want to know. Looking forward to the fun from June onwards.

Thank you for this. Up until now I didn’t understand how the orbital mechanics of the Kentaurus system worked.

Your videos are in the top 3 astronomy channels i watch You should realize how excellent that is. Narrators voice is the best of all channels.l must say fantastic work my boy.Thank you

I don't know why but this was extremly interesting. It would be lovely if you guys considered making more videos explaining the structure of more solar system we have relatively a lot of information about, and what they contain

Late in the night, down the wikihole, and here I am. Subscribed' beautifully put together. Can't wait for jwst data!

This is the best explaination...ever👏

I hope humans get to take a good look at centauri within my lifetime. Doesn't need to be aliens, but finding another habitable plant there would be so cool

Alternative Names for the Stars 𝛼 Centauri A: Rigil Kentaurus 𝛼 Centauri B: Toliman 𝛼 Centauri C: Proxima Centauri

Thank you guys for great explanation & Animation... Best of luck..

sir, yes please. Lets keep in touch. Nice to have such a refreshing video to watch. The voice, music and the graphic is so captivating. Thank you very much. It gives us a chance to explore in our minds. The graphics between the stars was brilliant. It felt like, I was floating close to the star. That laser powered probe idea sounds a phenomenal as well. Nice thinking indeed! keep going humanity! I am with you!

I love how uncreative a lot of scientists are when naming things. "What are we gonna call the closest star system?" "Proxima." "What should we call this very large telescope?" "Very Large Telescope."

I absolutely love this channel

This was surprisingly good! Thank you!

Imagine if all of humanity worked towards getting to the next star, first stop the Moon next Mars

Great production. I didn’t realize Proxima centuri had 3 exoplanets

8:02 Yea but if it has enough nuclear components in its core, additionally the title forces from the close proximity to the star might provide enough friction to keep a dynamo going strong. We don't know.

fascinating and incredible video, added to my space notes immediately

This is the only channel I watch the ads all the way through. Gotta support my favorite content. Keep it up!

More. Of. This. Thanks. I'm interested in our neighboring star systems. One of my favorite images ever 1:05.

Im been missing out on these videos lately 😩 thats cause its been a month lol. I need a new James Webb video 📹

Amazing video love this channel soo much

It's doubtful our radio signals are comprehensible after passing through our heliopause and that of a receiving star. Besides which those signals were not configured for transmission through interstellar space. By the time they could be received, they would truly be noise.

Amazing vid, once the James Webb Telescope is up, I wonder what we're going to find.

Utterly superb video, brilliantly done

That was well done. Thanks very much.

Love your dedication....

I would like to hear about the time dialation affect on other planets and stars.

Best episode about Alpha centaury ❤️

What a cool channel this of yours! Thanks for sharing!

I think I heard Proxima B has a 3/2 orbit like Mercury. Also the BLC-1 signal was detected very near Proxima, which later was claimed it was interference. Strangely the Toliman mission is being launched to look at the system!!!!

I'm surprised you guys don't have more subs... This channel is worthy of so much more.

A much awaited video. After one month almost. 👍🏻

You guys quickly became my favorite channel in regards to the cosmos. The quality of your content is just parsecs above the rest; however, it seems lately the rate at which you release content has slowed further and further, and the length of said videos have decreased tremendously as well. What a shame, as I would refresh the home page every day in hopes that there would be a new Kosmo video out.. but to no avail. Here is to hoping you all churn out some fresh content with some meat on them soon.

Onc you truly grasp the size of space, I think the natural conclusion is that intelligent life almost certainly exists elsewhere. Our star is not at all special, and if life could form on Earth, my feeling is that it also originated on other planets. I really wish I was still around when humans finally make contact with other life. I think it will happen eventually, but not for a very, very long time.

Nice work Kosmo 👌🏻🥇

Love the content keep up the good work

Fun fact: the ort cloud is more than 7,450,000,000,000 km away from the sun(0.78 light years or 50,000 au) not one light year in my speculation

The best thing we can say is that the star system is close by. It would make for some interesting photos for sure. It's doubtful humanity will ever leave the solar system but we could send robotic craft to check things out.

Great video! Subscribed right away

Excellent video, it is factual, well structured, with beautiful animations, good narrative en diction

I can't remember which ancient civilization it was, but I saw on the History Channel where these people from long, long ago knew Alpha Centauri was a dual star system despite it not being something you can see with the naked eye. I've always found that very fascinating.

What the odd of three star having a connect bound with each other happen to be the nearest star to our solar system?

What a great video!!! Thank you very much!!!

Thank you for such an amazing video. 😃

Proxima Centauri B planet sounds very similar to Io moon around Jupiter, similar difference in size ratio, similar orbit - and Io is NOT a pleasant place to be: high radiation from Proxima Centauri star which is a flare star, multiplied by the strong magnetic field like Jupiter has causing X-rays; and also lots of volcanism due to the geological effects of the tight orbit and slow rotation. That slow rotation would also minimize B's own magnetic field, as it does Io; leading to more radiation getting through and less ability to keep any air. On the other hand, Io has a ring around Jupiter because of all the gases in its orbit, I wonder if Proxima Centauri B planet would have less of that due to its greater gravity, or a bigger one?

I was able to comprehend the vast distances of the universe when i took LSD and got drawn in to a different dimension to experience the loss of time traveling trough the universe itself in an almost never ending dream. It was quite the experience.

top work..many thanks.

Excellent video, my man.

The work on this channel is beyond excellent! However there is one big issue: How will human beings ever come up with faster probes and/or other better ways to cover such vast distances when they are still preoccupied with geopolitical issues such as the rubbish going on between Russia and Ukraine. Joined brain-power is what mankind needs to come up with interstellar solutions. In fact, even intra-solar issues need that cooperation. Look at how Russian astronauts came to the rescue of American astronauts earlier this year. That is what we really need! Keep up the good work. God bless!!!

When single shines the triple sun, What was sundered and undone Shall be whole, the two made one, By Gelfling hand, or else by none I'm pretty sure Jim Henson had the Alpha Centauri system in mind when he wrote "The Dark Crystal" I'm always fascinated by this stellar system, in fiction and in reality. Could the probes actually get there in only 20 years? I wonder if I might live to see the first images from another star's planets? That would be so amazing.

4:51, …”pepperonious.”

Amazing work mate🤙

I think you wrongly mentioned that the system is actually coming closer to us. As far as I know in thousands of years the sirius will actually be closer to us than proxima system as its moving away from us.

I wonder if you could use the clockwork radio principle to power a probe that won’t be needed to be activated for decades, or possibly even longer. Like a probe sent to Alpha Centauri perhaps, with Solar Radiometers on the probe to both activate the probe as it nears the Solar system its aimed towards, and recharge the clockwork mechanism like a giant self rewinding watch that never stops running. The electronics would have to be powered like a clockwork radio, negating the need for batteries or Nuclear power, which will degrade over extremely long periods. This is the issue with the voyager probes as they age, despite the fact that the electronics and computers within the probe are functioning perfectly after nearly half a century of constant use. The probe would have to be large and capable of making independent decisions, which may require a large amount of older hardier computer chips. You could even go a step further, and have small landers on the larger probe that could be fired and directed towards other planets. They could be hardy probes, with a self contained non rechargeable clockwork power source of their own. Preferably a hardy probe to gather planetary data quickly, similar to the Venetian and Titan probes of the past. The only issue would be having a secondary rechargeable clockwork mechanism to power the transmitter, which would have to be very powerful for the extremely long distances to earth. Storage of information until broadcast would be vital. If Spacex can reduce the cost of launches further, perhaps we could have a mother ship probe that could launch smaller satellites like a Clockwork Cassinis, to examine planetary systems and their moons, as well as launch the aforementioned smaller probes. This is a bit long winded and hypothetical, but its worth thinking about.

Great video very informative and awesome

"...one hundred and fifty percent smaller than..."? * How in the hell does THAT work?* I'm not a mathematician. But I DO know that one hundred fifty percent is by definition LARGER than the base object being measured. I point this out because of how often I hear people who most certainly SHOULD know better than to use this errant method to describe things. An object cannot be "twice as small" as another object when comparing the two. In order for this type of comparison to be used, there must be another object by which to compare the first two objects. For example, "Star A is half the size of star B, but star C is even smaller...twice as small as star B as compared with star A". I know this can seen as nitpicking, but given the current levels of education in the world (how much the AVERAGE PERSON can use accepted scientific and mathematical knowledge, as well as logic and reason, to identify, test, observe and interpret their environment), we are in trouble. Fueling this recession of intelligence, ironically, is the age of information in which we live. Any person can inject and spread incorrect information to the world. And people do this on a regular basis. Flat earth, anyone? So when those who are in a position to affect the world by spreading real, scientific knowledge fail to do so correctly; when these people fail to enforce and maintain THEIR OWN PRINCIPLES of logic (by incorrectly phrasing mathematical relationships, for example), then societies, or more specifically, the people of those societies lose their ability as a whole to think, to learn, to understand, to interpret, and to communicate scientific principles and ideas accurately and effectively. This type of bass-ackward logic, that one thing can be twice as small as another without a third point of reference is just wrong. I can only ask that, moving forward, your videos and other communications would be more careful when it comes to these small, SEEMINGLY insignificant errors. Yes, it can seem like nitpicking...I get it. But when those who are responsible for "maintaining the standard" fail to do so, then what outcome is possible other than a loss of precision, the necessary loss of knowledge which follows that loss of precision, and the general reversing of understanding? I've heard it said (and I wholeheartedly agree) that those who have become the Great People of History didn't do so by doing any one thing supremely well; rather, these people became great because they did all of the small, SEEMINGLY insignificant things very well. In other words, it is only by the careful guarding of the finer details that the overall picture can gain clarity. Maybe thinking of the situation as a digital image, which relies on the fidelity of its individual pixels for its overall sharpness, would help to see the importance of this issue. After all, the last thing we need is to revert to a Neo-Dark Age of ignorance, especially when it is wholly preventable with the disciplined application of principles which we already know.

There is a life in Proxima Centauri's Proxima B. Ps Alpha Centauri is so interesting and mystic. 😊
