'Peanut' stars may explain rare supernovae

[sharpezor]

if there were an earth size planet that evolved life, the sky would look fucked,.

[eeikman]

Mmmmm hydrogen roasted goodness.

[D197JN]

That's a pretty big supply of butter.

[MrAnderson1985]

Yes yes, the Planters Star; In the honey roasted galaxy. Incredible find by Mr. P, he was kind of a nut though.

[321beth321]

looks like Mitosis

[MazeleyFanClub]

Nobody likes roasted nuts

[suiten123]

I think squirrels could swallow that star.

[mcgyvr2009i]

Oh a peanut sat on a railroad track and his heart was all a flutter!

[wo0obly]

imagine finding that under you couch.

[TedLee810]

Chuck Norris's peanut stars, please... WAIT! That's gross...

[handwritingsucks]

I say. This so called peanut star could explain the rare hypernova

[lov3shininn]

I want to eat that peanut

[iskim86]

binaries are rad

[macaws101]

thats one really big and very hot peanut that would destroy earth..........

[javislayers]

0:04 :O! pokefuckingball LMFAO down left corner

[thebirdman0]

bahaha!

[TEOCEO1]

@javislayers hahahah ;D So true

[franchescaroze]

its only two suns orbiting together

[Twargan]

well, i would say that 2 orbiting stars that are that closely rotating, i would think that they would merge before they supernova, just because of the shear gravitational force that they would exibit on each other, that being said, i think it is definitely PLAUSABLE that they can share material, if and only if they are in a merging state

[navras2006]

hmmmmm peanut butter /homer

[greatlavaflow]

objection! this can be real or it can be fake but to me it is real but looks fake

[adamdeliyia]

its an animation

[MallaganVloggs]

no shit, dude ^^

[Trisscarr]

Peanut butter jelly time!

[YonOtto]

you fatty!

[Chanak02]

@Trisscarr WAYAT WAYAT!!!

[ReapersShredder]

i think the stars are sharing peanut butter secrets

[joshig1983]

It would be weird to live on a peanut planet. I wonder if terrestrial planets can be shaped like those stars.

[Trisscarr]

Please do not feed the troll.

[mastercheeok]

the univirse keep getin stranger and stranger as we discover more....

[guitarmainia9090123]

why would somone want to look at a spinning yellow/ orage peanut??

[MAMOHT82]

cuz its freaking awesome!

[nar5038]

Any planetary orbits must be pretty hard to calculate ...

[dahunterfromrune]

i heard they were supposed to be like a binary system. only during formation they were so close that they fused and shared energy. there cores are apparently fuse in the middle. i duno

[blazednlovinit]

looks to me like if they exist, they have 2 cores and are just joined by the outer layers, i'm a bit skeptical myself of these things. never heard of them from anywhere else. they would have to orbit each other extremely fast

[dahunterfromrune]

you could be right. i never heard of peanut stars other than on here. however these would be orbiting so fast that they may acctually split apart dumbing gas on eachother. rather violent

[albedoshader]

Sooner or later both stars join because gravitational radiation pulls energy out of this system. After that you have on star left, the type of the remnant is dependent on the overall mass of the system (black hole, neutron star, whatever)

[desu38]

Milky Way, Peanut stars, what's next?

[qwasd0r]

Guys... I think... the universe is just a huge candy bar. Don't panic!!

[TheHollowFootman]

Oh noes!

So that means that in 2012 giant aliens are going to come and eat us!

[dannytheparrot]

What are you talking about?

[TheHollowFootman]

I'm referring to the 2012 apocalypse BS. The comment I posted replied to another one saying the universe was really a giant candy bar. Ergo, I made that comment as a joke

[m0onst9er]

wtf, now there's peanuts in space?!

o.0

lol jp

still preeety weird

[OrionSyndicate]

Turn your head and cough....

Again......

You have a hernia.

[kImPooT1121]

its a yellow star, hotter than a red star but not hotter than a blue star, it's kinda like sun...

[VancouverCanucksRock]

yeah watchout for salmonella

[dannytheparrot]

Uhh... what?

[VancouverCanucksRock]

WHat you forgot about the peanut salmonella shit that happend? Was that you that gave me a thumb down? IF so you and one other person are stupid

[dannytheparrot]

What does that have to do with this video? Nothing.

[VancouverCanucksRock]

I appologize for you have no sense of humor

[dannytheparrot]

What? Seriously, you're both mentally andd socially retarded. Please, leave Youtube.

[VancouverCanucksRock]

yeah coming from a retard with a User ID "dannytheparrot" You prob have an IQ less than a Parrot though...All you fuckin do here is bash people you fuckin cock suckin bitch. Were/are you molosted ? Keep bein a bitch behind your computer, fucker

[dannytheparrot]

Umm... that's for my sonic fan character. But, you know what? You are the most pitiful person I've seen yet on Youtube. Please, just go back to sleeping in a hole.

[VancouverCanucksRock]

You're a fuckin goof, you comment on my page but won't allow me to comment on your's? You're a fuckin clown bitch.

[dannytheparrot]

So? That's a sad reason to start swearing at someone.

[VancouverCanucksRock]

Hahahah yeah ok retard. Are you like 15 years old? "I'm gonna talk shit on his page but I am gonna make it so he can't comment on mine!" At least I don't delete my "hater comments" to make me seem more liked or some shit, unlike you stupid fake ass bitch

[dannytheparrot]

Are you 11? You're seriously acting like one. Dumbass. I don't delete them to make me seem better. I do it because I take those comments as spam. Besides, I blocked you because of your attitude. And look who's talking about hater comments, the one with pages of them.

[VancouverCanucksRock]

Hahahaha so there you were acting like you never get "hater comments" when you clearly just admited you get them hahah fuckin' queer. Oh and I don't have pages, and remember, you don't have any 'cause you delete them, just stick to roll playing with you queer friend there

[dannytheparrot]

ಠ_ಠ I don't act like I don't get hater comments. Look who's talking, The queer Canadian who goes and flames the crap out of everyone. You spelled role playing wrong, I only do it out of boredom. You are the saddest nobody I've ever heard of.

[VancouverCanucksRock]

Lol yeah ummm yeah anyone will know that you're the flamer if they go to my profile and read the shit you sent me, bitch

[dannytheparrot]

I did that because you deserve it.

[VancouverCanucksRock]

anyway go roll play with your child boyfriend

[dannytheparrot]

ಠ_ಠ You are the most pitiful..... thing I've seen on Youtube. You're calling me gay, (which I'm not) yet there's a high chance that you're a child molester. Lesbian.

[VancouverCanucksRock]

you already admitted to ROLL playing with the person on your page, freak

[dannytheparrot]

ಠ_ಠ Seriously, WTF are you talking about?

[VancouverCanucksRock]

Did you forget about when you admitted to role playing with that person on your page? "I only do it out of boredom" lol

[dannytheparrot]

That's not on my page, dumbass. ಠ_ಠ

[VancouverCanucksRock]

Why would you admit to doing it when you're bored then? Anyway like I give a shit what someone says who has "Knuckles" on their page....

[dannytheparrot]

What? You fail to make sense.

[VancouverCanucksRock]

I am sure you're the only one that cannot make sense of it

[dannytheparrot]

What do you even mean when you say Knuckles? ಠ_ಠ

[VancouverCanucksRock]

Ok that's not nuckles, I dono whoever that goofy character is on your page

[dannytheparrot]

Knuckles is an actual character..... wow, you're hoplessly retarded..... That's Leaf, and you don't even know what you're talking about, dumbass.

[VancouverCanucksRock]

I know knuckles is an actual character you fuck head!!

[dannytheparrot]

Well, why did you say he was on my page?

[VancouverCanucksRock]

Wow you're so cool giving every comment of mine a thumbs down, NOT.... Doesit make you feel better? lol....yeah anyway  I said he was on your page because I am not as familiar with the Sonic And Friends as you are!!

[dannytheparrot]

Okay, yeah, you're a lifeless retard. And that's my fan character. "Yeah, anyway, I said he was on your page because I am not as familiar with Sonic and friends as you are!" You sound like a Mario fanboy when you say that.

[VancouverCanucksRock]

Yes I am lifeless lol.....

[xixnightwolf]

Hmm... I wonder if 'Peanut' stars can hold a solar system.

[OwnedbyRamen]

So is there any name to this rare kind of supernova?

[subzeromind]

Planters

[EvilDOOER]

Why do I want a Snickers all of a sudden?

[funk192]

Thank u sir, u made me chuckle out loud.

+1 for you lol

[ukens1]

rofl that just fuken made my month...or year thanks

[mightyling]

Looks to me as if the stars are just closing in from their orbit.

This sucked, showed nothing special or new.

[PHDinkickingyourass]

ball sack stars!

[meanmrhyde]

RUN!!!

[nine9s]

I take it the unusual nebulae mentioned would be the hourglass-shaped ones, like the Ant Nebula?

[zemoyer]

their gravity keeps them from separating, but eventually they will form a single star

[Trisscarr]

I think my IQ just dropped

[dannytheparrot]

What? Don't try to act smart or something, that makes no sense.

[mg2sna]

Mmmmmm... peanuts!

And stars in the shape of peanuts? that could keep me happy for ever!

[spliz86]

When I see a nebula shaped like a penis I can die happily

[Zachmanz]

same here man

[barneybros]

why do you make me laugh so very hard?

[JetJL]

oval star

peanut star

whats next?

[ExDeeFace]

When I see a nebula shaped like a penis I can die happily

[bulldog99aus]

vagina star

[dannytheparrot]

You don't know anything about astronomy, do you?

[xjenimyx]

a very strange but intersting star shape.

[clayzee001]

goofy goober! lol

[shuu7777]

God looks like Mr. Peanut! I knew it, they called me crazy!

[maclennanld]

I don't know where we are ever going to get a top hat and monocle big enough.

[zman1512]

NUTS

[sim5191]

i think they will collide someday and explode.

[zucoy21z89]

The planets going around that will prob have a wobbley ride, but if close enough will do a good trade in roasted peanuts!

[ReverendFlatus]

Yes, very interesting. Yawn.

[ra2yuri4]

a couple of balls

[lol35654]

( . Y . ) lol

[SmiertSpionem]

It sounds like a chocolate bar.

[curlywurlylou]

boobs

[cab63868386]

i just have one Q? what stops the stars from falling into each other

[moskova100]

They probably have a large tangential velocity, meaning the enormous gravity between the two is insufficient to bring their centres of mass together as they move around eachother.

[imbordashell]

yay oven roasted peanuts

[berylman]

perfectly plausible idea.... the stars would have to be very similar in mass for this peanut relationship to be very stable

[diedavidtenchdie]

peanut stars go well with beer constelations. hehe get it? get it? lol *is bored*

[pisshead989]

hahahaha i dont get it

[diedavidtenchdie]

ppl eat peanuts when they drink beer. so its a peanut star.... u get the idea XD

[pisshead989]

i was joking *:D

[diedavidtenchdie]

lol. would u like some beer constelations?

our comments r a bit off topic now.. o well

[dannytheparrot]

Hahaha! You just lost thousands of brain cells and spammed the video by posting that.

[XTwisternickX]

lol siamese planets XD

[TheSanityInspector]

So, what is the rare type of supernova these things cause, then?

[gretliv]

um what is this?

i like your videos usually but i just dont understand this...

[vimsexyhips]

i think it could happen..why not?

[tdmnyd]

Don't be so paranoid. Who cares if you get fooled. Doesn't mean that you are a fool. This is real by the way. What is so hard to believe about this? Maybe you are a fool.

[ccaptorchen]

its not a April fools joke. they said so them self. a binary star system binded by gravity and slowly tightens its orbit and eventually forms a giant star or a black hole. this isn't uncommon in the universe. even IF its a joke its still true.

[Lix187]

no sound cant here it

[bLaSsSlAyEr]

no sound -_-

[Gnomusy]

See that peanut, wait for the size of the monkeys! hahaha :D Cheers

[Magnulus]

Actually, the peanut is for the elephants atop the Great A'tuin, the carrier of the Discworld.

[UKRickie]

April fools, how obvious?

[andopolis]

I for one welcome our new peanut overlords.

[takineko]

wow it just keeps going and going.. no favs, apparently peanut stars get no love

[gorlam]

its clearly an april fools joke how stupid can u be!

[newscientistvideo]

'fraid not. :) We did some April fool's stuff but not on the YouTube channel.

[lucasleivia]

theres no fooling you mate :s

*laughing into sleeve*

[jonesr999]

For scientists, these are some pretty fucking stupid bastards. Can't even upload a video that works.

[chris3443]

I became dumber watching this peanut float around in space. Some narration and facts would be nice.

[mormonic]

No sound!

[zodaTooth]

omg how amazing is that two stars feeding whorth a peek five thumbs upp

[psychicsnake1701]

Fascinating

[fearsombunny]

prity nifty

[nerdelicious5]

they should have called them superstars!

[hshabbir]

ha..ha..haha i get it..

[hartnell114]

wonder if theyd eithe rbreak apart to form a lavalamp type effect, it something huge collided into it to split it into two or would it eventually spin so fast itd create a black hole, hm

[BloomingWithJoy1]

=o

Ooooh pretty...

Can I eat it?

[hooh3923]

Wonder how planets/other space waste orbit these star-systems

[NoahUF]

They would orbit the center of mass between the stars

[jitsukadan]

As long as they are far enough away.

Anyone know what would happen for very close orbits? The equations of motion become non-linear I would think. (So I'd guess in general it would be a chaotic system.)
