Discovery of Kepler-16b

NASA's Kepler mission has turned fiction into fact. A world with a double sunset that was first imagined in "Star Wars" over 30 years ago in a galaxy far, far away has become scientific reality. Credit: NASA / Ames Research

@jayejayeee Thank you and thank you for watching :)

@truemaskedwabbit if u only know the every 100 million years the sun gets 10% brighter and hotter. scientist say after 5 more or less due to overwhelming pollution that earth will become no longer habitable for life kinda like venus. the sun will only expand when its supply of hydrogen runs low and propably will not destory earth will go as far as venus's orbit making earth like Kepler 10b. but i really shouldnt stray but just ask if u want to hear some knoledge i have gathered

@theTerribleTyler If we don’t control how much of the fossil fuel we burn we’ll be having to get off this planet much sooner than what is estimated when our sun will become intolerable for human, animal and plant life. It’s not the sun we need to worry about at this point but we do need to worry about what man is doing to this planet.

@luckymarc32 Man will certainly make history in space travel. But I’m not sure if we’d want to wage war. It’s more about finding a new home to continue our species because in some billion years from now we’ll have to get off this planet if humans want to survive. :) Thanks for watching.

It is Tatooine. End of story.

@truemaskedwabbit I love the Universe, nice video. Don't worry the oceans we have create much oxygen, scrub CO2. Venus is 95% C02 due to natural causes, something that can and might happen to Earth. The cause is Volcanoes not this scare tactic of "climate change". Earth goes through cycles

@truemaskedwabbit if u only know that every 100 million years the sun gets 10% brighter and hotter it will expand when the amount of its hydrogen is depelted and could destory earth but it will probably only expand out to venus orbit kinda like Kelper 10b but scientist say we r cooked in 500 million years or less cause of overwhelming pollution i could speeak more so just ask and i will continue to tell u of the knowledge i have gathered

@theTerribleTyler It’s possible that there could be changes made in calculations. So far it has been calculated that in about 5 to 6 billion years the sun will begin to swell, meaning until then it will not get any bigger than what it is now. Nevertheless being prepared to leave much sooner is a wise decision, not just because of the sun but because of the world’s population and how to feed everyone. Happy New Year and thanks for watching.

@truemaskedwabbit acaly we have 500 million years to leave cause the suns brightness will become too hot for things to live on earth so maybe in the next 200 miillion years just to be safe wouldnt you say
