It's fascinating to think about what these far away planets might be like, hopefully JWST has already taken a look at it. Thanks for all your great content, and Happy Year!👍👍🪐🪐
Plus if there are only a few planets in the Ross 128 System, I think the chance it's actually a double planet increases substantially, which in turn might make the larger of the two even closer to Earth size.
Ross 128 is okay, I guess, but it won’t get very close. Gliese 710 is the real babe, as it is a K type orange dwarf. It will remain in the main sequence for perhaps 50 billion years, and in 1.3 million years it gets real close, less than .5 of a light year. Using space habitats, Our descendants will practically walk right over and get gravitationally captured by their new home, one which will last far longer that Sol.
Probably get very high winds ripping around the planet if one side is always facing away from the star but I guess that we'll find out in 75 000 years!
I would not consider this planet as a main destination. Red Dwarfs may live longer but their activity likes to strip atmospheres if there is no significant magnetic field on a planet to protect it from deteroidation. Also the tidally lock on planets is not helps it either. It's a hard task even with future technology to speed up a planet rotation and build a day night cycle via mirrors&shaders. I would consider planets which around 130-200 million km from their star, the star is similar like our star with 10-20 maybe 30 billion years of lifespan. In the future maybe these technologies will exist how to make planets habitable but then an advanced spacefaring technology requires to do these things.
Sadly, tidal locking most likely means that the planet is NOT habitable. This is due to the polar temperatures on one side, and the molten temperatures on the other. The only way the temperatures could be effectively maintained is if the planet is far enough away from the star that one side always has around 15* of temperature.
It's true, but there are some alternatives, like living in the twilight zone, or underground, kind of inhumane but that's what they say in inhospitable environments.

Thank you very much!! Happy New Year for you too!!
Planets heading our way, hope it gets here soon, I'm an old guy, hurry up.
Don’t worry, it will only be 6 light years away instead of 11 in about 79-80 (thousand) years 😉

Ross128b will only be 6 light years away in 79-80 thousand years?! Oh, I can’t wait 😝
Just behind the corner 😂😂

And there was I thinking it a long wait for Christmas...
I’ll bring the beer 🍺
You just got yourself a first class seat!

Wolf 359? OMG the Borg!!
It's coming towards us from light years away, this is fun 😒 this is sad

Thanks for the suggestion!!

No planet is habitable unless it has its own moon and own sun .
Evidence? One planet we know to have life doesn't prove it fact.
Orbits a red dwarf, is tidally locked , and gravity 30 % more than earth no thanks think give this place a pass
