Prologue: Our Sun
Before diving into these stars, let's briefly talk about our own. Our sun is without a doubt the most important thing in our solar system for a whole host of reasons. Not the least of which is because it's what keeps us "together" in our orbits via its powerful gravity. What's more, it provides us with heat, with light, and these two things are a major reason why Earth has life on it at all.
10. Ross 128
Our first star that we're going to look at is Ross 128, which is about 11 light years from where we are right now. Unlike our own star, Ross 128 is a Red Dwarf star, which means it's not only smaller than our own sun, but it doesn't burn as bright. Thus, it doesn't give off as much heat. In regards to its size, it's actually only 15% of the mass of our own sun. Which is not that big when you consider it.
However, the thing that really differentiates Ross 128 from our sun is the fact that it's much older. An analysis of the gasses within the Red Dwarf point to it being over 10 billion years old. Which means it's only 4 billion years younger than the entire universe. Which in contest is not that long. Plus, that's just the age of our own sun.
9. Epsilon Eridani
One of the interesting things about this star right off the bat is that if you know where to look, you can see it in the night sky. What's more, you can see it in the sky without the aid of a telescope. Part of the reason for this is that it's only 10.5 light years away from us, which means it's closer than Ross 128. The other reasons for its visibility is that it's a rather young Orange Dwarf star. By "young" I mean in the scale of stars, as this one is said to only be about 1 billion years old, which is much younger than our own.
8. Luyten 726-8
Found 8.7 light years away from the sun, you'd think that Luyten 726-8 and the system it's in would've been a very old discovery that astronomers found while researching the night sky. But in fact, it wasn't discovered until 1948. Which goes to show that even with great technology, it can take humanity a while to find certain things.
7. Sirius
Here is a star that you no doubt have heard of for a variety of reasons, mainly because its name is rather popular and has inspired a lot of names. But have you ever wondered why that was the case? The reason is very simple, Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. It's about 8.6 light years away from us, but what really sets it apart, and sets it up to be so bright, is that it's part of a binary star system.
6. Teegarden's Star
In 2019, a pair of planets were found 12.5 light years from Earth, and they were found to circle a star known as Teegarden. What made these planets so noteworthy was that they seemed to be very Earth-like in nature.
5. Lalande 21185
Heading to another Red Dwarf out in the universe, we turn our attention to Lalande 21185, which is about 8.3 light years away from us. But, like other stars on this list, it's moving in a way that'll put it much closer to the Earth over time. In about 100,000 years it's believed that it'll be around 4 light years away when it "passes by us".
4. Wolf 359
Despite having an epic name (because wolves are epic, that's scientifically accurate!), Wolf 359 is known as a star where "science-fiction meets reality)
3. Tau Ceti
Tau Ceti is a very curious entry on this list, mainly because it has a lot of similarities to our own sun. For example, Tau Ceti is only about 20% smaller than our sun, which is better than some we've detailed before.
2. Scholz's Star
You might think that Scholz's Star is one that we wouldn't pay much attention to, especially since it's 22 light years away from Earth, and thus not exactly close range.
1. Alpha Centauri/Proxima Centauri
If you were to ask the question of what is the closest star to our solar system, you would be told that the system known as Alpha Centauri, and that would be correct.

NOTHING makes one feel so alone than the vastness of space.... and I love it
Really hope that the James Webb Space Telescope will not delay again in 2021. Really want to know more details to our closest neighbors.
It's almost a movie , the long road to go. Btw it wasn't designed to be stored so long..that alone might d.o.a. it...fingers crossed ,godspeed
I know people need to eat so money dries up for certain programs that you can't eat. And I'm good with everyone getting to eat, but I sure wish they would get that sucker out there. Cuz I want to know more, and until James Webb is is functioning they won't start working on the next really expensive giant space based telescope. With the life I still have that will be the closest I'll ever get to another planet.
Looking at this comment from a year ago it’s cool to see that it’s fully working now
Great content. Well done.
thank you for distracting me from my death.
Thanks for the video. I've recently realized that the stars within 20 light years. At 20% the speed of light we can get to them within 100 years.
I love the content, space will never get boring. Great job
Why did you show TOS when you talked about TNG with Wolf 359?
**My ears perk up wih Wolf 359 is mentioned** I was going to say something if you didn't make the Star Trek connection! Great video as always!
How could you mistake TOS for TNG? Now send Janeway to the Oroville and we'll let it slide.
Great video! Learned something new today👍
This video ignored Barnard's Star. The 2nd closest system to us.
Wolf 3-59? Kirk and Spock with the bridge from TOS? Mon dieu.
I love space keep the good work
I don't quite get No.2 Scholz Star on this list. So it is said that it passed through the Oort Cloud 70,000 years ago, but the effects of its passing haven't reached earth yet? Or does it mean the Scholz binary system will come back and pass through Oort again and cause damage in the future?
What happened to the sun like, Indi system, Epsilon in particular?
Love it!
👍
I first learned about Teegarden's Star years ago, for the obvious reason. And I was fascinated to learn about its exoplanets!
Very interesting loved it thank you
I was hoping that you would have covered some of the brown dwarf stars.. They are interesting in their own way :(
The Luhman 16 binary? I think WISE 0855−0714 is under 10 Mj which makes it a rogue planet. Although yes we need a study on that.
Man those stock videos are amazing, never knew that you can observe so much in the middle of the day with a reflector telescope
Another great video topmarks, great stuff,😁😆😉🧐😇👍
Of all the stars u had mentioned. Can u do a video with diagram in where or which part in milky way galaxy they are located
Great job👏👏👏
Beautiful presentation
In Isaac Asimov's "Foundation" and "Robot" series, Tau Ceti is the home star of the planet Aurora, the first extrasolar human colony. It's also the biggest and most powerful of the "Spacer" worlds. Robot Daneel Olivaw is from there.
Have you read project Hail Marry? You might like it, it's no Foundations but its interesting and talk a lot about local stars.
I thought I was the most important thing in the solar system
Sorry, that is the Tangerine Nightmare.
Great vid
Awesome!
I like informative videos like these more
informative!💛
good video, would be much better if u put entrys in order from farthest to closest
1 light year or 22 it doesn't make much difference as it's impossible to cross either distance.
Great video. I'm not sure what the difference an orange dwarf as compared to a yellow or red dwarf star is. I guess I need to inform myself. I also wonder what the estimated number of stars within 10-15 LY from our solar system is. Also how many of those are Sun like stars. As it seems that most planets in the habitual zone around red dwarf stars appear to be tidally locked making them not great candidates for complex life.
I generally like what you do but this time it looks a bit scattered and all over the place, seams to me that it would be more. Interesting if you made it chronologicaly from the closest to the further away
Nailed it
The Sun is a yellow star. Lemons are also yellow. But you mentioned that a blue star Sirius A is moving closer to us. Does this mean other lemons will also turn blue?
Are you inbred
@@hewhoisalwaysnamed_7469 sorry, I am not familiar with your practices, perhaps you can find a community for that elsewhere
You mentioned at (5:33) that it would be studied for a while.
Imagine the Quantum Internet used in space with its Quantum Sensors to study at another level.
Now imagine Quantum Teleportation instead of using the Quantum Internet to study with in space, and then use large lasers like the military has, to send the Quantum Teleportation to other planets like Proxima B, instantly collecting data for a simulation, sends the data back to the Earth through that Quantum Teleportation, possibly back through the large laser.
And this would make an image, video, or 3D volumetric hologram as it gets back to Earth, everything about the planet Proxima B, instantly seen, e.g. imagine how fast a Quantum Computer can make simulations because of how fast Quantum Teleportation at 3 times the speed of light can travel around our own planet.
Now imagine as Quantum Teleportation matures, about 20 times, 50 times, who knows.
And now imagine sending Quantum Teleportation as it matures, back to Proxima B and other planets in other solar systems throughout our Galaxy and beyond.
There is another big picture to be seen here besides sending particles like Photons for Quantum Teleportation or the Quantum Internet, and as Quantum Teleportation matures.. imagine sending large objects "not alive" like devices, machines, vehicles, buildings / structures, and so on.. to other planets in other solar systems and beyond, but we aren't at that point yet for large objects.
8:52 Yes, Wolves are VERY epic.
Life will be unlikely in the Sirius system for quite some time? Laughs in Sirian
6yrs old me. Hey fun fact the stars are rocks that is light. That was 6yrs old me 💀
Nearest is Proxima Centauri - about 4.25 light-years away from our Sun - which with current technology would only take us about 50 or 60 thousand years to get there. In the vastness of deep space - the universe sees practically no difference in size between humans and microbes.

nice video
K type stars are the best for habitable planetes
Wolf 359 was a great episode
Do other star systems have their own Oort Clouds?🤔
Not to nitpick, but you mention Star Trek TNG but used images from Star Trek TOS. Totally not the same thing.
Well at least Darth Vader wasn't shown.
only a nerd would care or mention it.
Go and do bum stuff with your bum chums.
@@buckeyeman7631 Quite. "Not to nitpick" and then does, pure goldy.
What about Wolf 1 through 358?
100 Hexes on whoever put up OST images instead of TNG for Wolf-359
Which way do the planets actually revolve around the Sun, cos both clockwise and anti-clockwise are shown here?
Both! It all depends on which way you're looking at the Solar System. If you're "above" it (looking "down" at it from above the Sun's north pole), the planets appear to be revolving counterclockwise/anti-clockwise. If you're "below" it (looking "up" at it from above the Sun's south pole), they appear to be revolving clockwise.
@DamonNomad82 Okay, so anti clockwise. Thank you.
How do you know that it is tidally locked?
They don’t know for sure. But they assume so, because most planets that close to their star will be tidally locked. Or so they think?
Thank you for the info, but I don't think they are accurate about that. It comes mostly those Christian religious scaptical so call scientists. It is because any object when you throw to the empty space then it is automatically rotate on its own orbit. So does those planets. I think those planets rotate on it's own orbits, probably much slower speed. You may say our moon doesn't but that is also not rotating around any Sun rather planet. I hope I am right!!
how come the scientists know that the scholz star has interacted with us.
"Aradni"?
Epsilon Eradni lol
Wolf 359 : shows images of Star Trek TOS instead of TNG...
Lol, came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed.
Like Sirius is The Unknown Star
Neer The Sun it’s In The Botton Of The There’s Like Thousands Of Unknown Stars Like Peacock
Bernard star is close to us also
"make sure to like or dislike the video"
Me: hehehehe I'm gonna dislike it
TON pictures? Battle for wolf 359 is from TNG!!
The nearest another sun is 4 billion light years away, so doesn't it mean that all planets within at least 2 billion light years is part of our solar system..
Dyslexia rampage😂
Tau Ceti gets my vote.
Wow
Could the ancient visit to the Oort Cloud have caused the effects that make people think that there is another planet out there?
Could you having been dropped repeatedly on your head be the cause of your problems?
@@boffeycn I was asking a serious question.
@@colinp2238 And you asked it poorly.
Please take time over your questions and pose them in a fashion we may all understand.
@@zimriel Who died and made you my teacher?
@@colinp2238 apparently, your teacher died... of shame.
How can they figure out a planet so far away is tidal locked to the star? I thought they only saw a dip in the light of the star to show planets! Imagine the sun never going down! Or always dark out!
They get data of the light. When there a big gab of light missing they can work out there a planet
If the system is very old and the planet is very close, the burden of proof is more to prove the planet is NOT locked. Mercury used to be assumed locked.
Although yes, Mercury was eventually proven to be tidally locked ... different, 2:3 years:days. But then Mercury's orbit is also eccentric.
There's a star close to our sun called proxima centauri
Tau Ceti is a Blue Star Tau Ceti Has Plannets Call Avalon Hades Aporirte And Boreas
You completely missed Barnard's Star at 5.3 light years away....
I guess the Barnard star doesn't exist....
Or Procyon
I was about to mention that, but you beat me to it.
Me gave good percentage USD Women
We currently live in a three star system. Jupiter and Saturn are only seven to nine percent different than our Sun. Failed stars.
Look at them in the infared, look at the description of brown dwarf stars.
They are stars.
And that was a failed comment. A star is a star, a failed star is not a star, it is a failure just like you. And then I saw your conspiracy theory subs, including ThunderboltsProject.
Do you shoot into the air when you do a handstand? No. End of the ThunderboltsProject.
Are any of these Stars ,Siblings to our Sun .?
Sooooooo..... What happened to Vega??
At (4:54) you said that "it wasn't until 1948, which goes to show that with great technology, it can take humanity a while to find certain things".
You know that new "emerging" technology, new Quantum Technology will find things like what you mentioned.. much sooner, and sometimes very fast depending on how advanced we are?
You seem to underestimate what "great".. technology really is. As you think too small and is this because you're short - sighted?
Do you realize what Quantum Computers can do for simulations? And Quantum Teleportation sent across satellites and on large lasers like the military uses?
Look at many other new space satellites coming on top of that.
And you know that some things like Graphene are ignored in those technologies like new telescopes that are coming, that are known so far. Let that sink in.
Realize how advanced we could be, quite literally. And see the big picture there.
And when a new emerging technology comes out, and it discovers something new or that we haven't seen before, that is why it took so long, because we didn't make something like that emerging technology, Quantum Technology. Let that sink in.
It takes a whole other level of good innovation, and that is happening these days with a lot more people, especially younger people with their ideas, as good innovation hasn't been like this in the past, you really need to see the big picture there and why things are accelerating in technology, so fast that you can't keep up with them these days.
----------------------------------------------------
Do you know about Integrated Photonics, Graphene Spintronics, Graphene Twistronics and so on?
Graphene with specific magnets can make our classical computers "that we use in our homes" 1,000 times faster, and the possibility of using only 1% of the energy.
Graphene optical / Transparent Transistors can be used for Photonic Computing.
Graphene lasers seen in a video like the one on my other channel, in my "Graphene playlist", can be used as the fiber optics for Photonic Computing.
A lot of electronics are going to be replaced, imagine these used in the ground telescopes and space telescopes.
Now imagine many other creative ideas "good innovation" to a whole other level, with Graphene and Quantum Technologies, used in ground telescopes and space telescopes, or new types of telescopes and other emerging technologies, Quantum Technologies that we don't know yet, for exploring space.
And because a lot of these emerging technologies that are coming out, things could happen much sooner when it comes to examining space and space exploration.
--------------------------------------
If you want to know more about Graphene and Quantum Technologies, follow the steps on my channel.
Who knows, maybe one of you guys, or many of you guys will come up with different creative ideas for space exploration, and many other things around emerging technologies.
Be creative by using my other channel with the steps on my channel, to find out more about Graphene and Quantum Technologies, only ever think like this about those 2 things, and get to know all of the Quantum Technologies and the Quantum material Graphene. Be a visionary and optimistic, a good innovator to a whole other level, example with Graphene and Quantum Technologies.
I'm sorry but you are making a fool out of yourself for taking what was said in the video out of context. I mean seriously this is one of the dumbest comments I've ever seen on RUclips.
@@aj3682
1. You lost already the moment you threw insults.
2. Everything you say is deflected back at you on my other channel, try not being ignorant and actually going to my other channel to learn what I was talking about.
3. Everything I said was a fact from proof, you would know this if you weren't so ignorant and actually went to my other channel to find out.
It's not like I can just give links since a lot of channels keep people from using links or the comments go hidden, sometimes it is the RUclips algorithm, at other times it is the channel since I can see the option under my own channel's settings.
Greed and corruption in the U.S. because of a lack of interest and lack of care as the result, is why there is so much ignorance towards learning to be a visionary and optimistic, a good innovator with new innovation to a whole other level, with Graphene and Quantum Technologies.
If you're not willing to watch and learn everything on my other channel, completely focused on it with no distractions at all, then you are the one showing a personal problem and not mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of perspective, and not worth arguing with.
The only one making a fool out of himself is the one being an ignorant fool, an oblivious sucker such as yourself.
Don't blame others for your ignorance, closed - minded, and short - sighted behavior, that's your personal problem, not mine.
You can either go there to learn from my other channel, or get lost, go away.
Do not comment to me again.

An the plants rotates 385day.. Compared to others know plants an it's star.. That it's either tidlely locked or almost the same distance from its sun to be habitable for life to thrive.. Rite

Ehmm... The narrator says "Sirius A is a Blue Star."
NOPE... Sirius A is an (A Type) White Star... NOT (O or B Type) Blue Star.
As many amateur or professional astronomers personally observed, it shines quite bright & white.
The colonization of other worlds is not possible, unless you plan on destroying all life on that world, or you terraform a lifeless rock. It bothers me when scientist talk about colonization like science fiction. When we colonize space, we will build habitats outside the atmosphere. Only when we can live away from the Earth for generations, can we travel between stars.
@@zorbathegreek8339 As much as I have fantasized about faster than light travel, the difficultly is nothing to sneeze at. One cannot discount the fact it may not be possible at all.
