The Nirks' Meet the Stars Part 6 – Meet more Fan Stars! Join Vincent, as he takes you to meet 12 very special stars that you, our fans, chose for this video! You'll meet sub dwarf stars, brown dwarf stars, Herbig Ae/Be stars, quadruple stars, light echoing stars and even a star with a theoretical alien megastructure! Thank you to all our fans who voted! Now, let’s go meet the stars with the Nirks®! Stars included are: Kapteyn’s Star, Luhman 16, HD 100546, Saiph, Naos, Gacrux, Earendel, Regulus, Castor, Fomalhaut, Tabby’s Star, and V838 Monocerotis! www.thenirks.com Lyrics: CHORUS Will we meet a sub dwarf star? Less luminous than main sequence stars. Will we meet a brown dwarf star? The missing link between planets and stars! Will we meet a HAeBe star ? Pre-main sequence stars with circumstellar disks they are. Will we meet the farthest known Supergiant? I really love science! A cool red sub dwarf, I’m Kapteyn’s Star, my luminosity is low In the constellation Pictor, the nearest star within the galactic halo I have at least 2 planets orbiting me including a super Earth planet 5 times more massive than Earth, it could support alien life on it We’re Luhman 16 - a binary brown dwarf star Only 6.5 light years away in the constellation Vela we are With masses between gas giant planets and small stars, we can’t fuse hydrogen But we do emit light and heat from radiation within I’m HD 100546, A Herbig Ae/Be Star This means I’m very young, and my fusing of hydrogen to helium has yet to start HAEBE stars are surrounded by circumstellar disks of debris Where new exoplanets are being born, like one of the biggest HD 100546 b A Supergiant from Orion, The “sword of the giant, “ my name is Saiph My strong stellar winds are causing me to lose a lot of mass, at a fast pace I’m really hot and I spin really fast so I expend a lot of energy! I’ll eventually expand into a red supergiant and supernova spectacularly! Who else is out There? I’m Naos, from the constellation Puppis, a very rare O type star A Blue supergiant, I’m one of the bluest and most luminous stars there are I’m extremely hot, approximately 42,000 degrees Kelvin And, I’m the closest O type star to your sun I’m Gacrux, a binary star from the Crux constellation Not only the top star, but the only red star in the Southern Cross Asterism The Southern Cross is a popular Earth symbol so I’m featured on lots of flags you’ll see And I’m the closest red giant star to Earth, maybe someday you’ll visit me I’m Earendel, The Morning star, a Blue Giant from the constellation Cetus The farthest known star yet discovered even further away than Icarus 28 billion light years away! They used gravitational lensing to find me A galaxy cluster between us acted as a magnifying lens, you see I’m Regulus, the heart of the Lion, in the Leo constellation I’m also one of 3 stars in the Spring Triangle Asterism I rotate once every 16 hours, so I’m egg shaped from spinning so fast And, surprise! I’m a quadruple star – 4 stars in one – and we’re having a blast! Who Else is out there? Chorus Will we meet a sixfold star? 3 pairs of orbiting binary stars? Will we meet the loneliest star? Shining bright in the dark where no other stars are! Will we meet an alien megastructure star? Behaving unpredictably, how bizarre! Will we meet a light echoing supergiant? I really love science! I’m Castor, of the Gemini Twins, I’m one of the heads of them Six stars in one or 3 pairs of binary stars make up my system All Six of my stars are gravitationally bound and dance around each other 5 separate but tight orbits we have with our sisters and brothers I’m Fomalhaut, the loneliest star, a bright light in a dark sky But I’m a triple star, so at least I have my two companions near-by There could be exoplanets hiding in my rings of gas, dust and debris Though, scientists now think my zombie exoplanet was just a dust cloud near me I’m Tabby’s Star and I’m a complete Mystery I’m confusing astronomers with my unusual fluctuations in brightness you see Am I a part of an extraterrestrial megastructure? that’s one way it could be explained Other theories are colliding comets, weird dust clouds, whatever it is, it’s strange! V838 Monocerotis, an amazing sight to see My outer layers had a rapid expansion eruption and I became huge suddenly This created a light echo, an expanding halo of light around me Illuminating and Revealing beautiful nebulae Who Else is out there? We’ve only scratched the surface There are billions of stars you see But now we’ve met a few And understand their diversity Let’s keep on Exploring Our wondrous universe Keep discovering new stars Which star will you meet first? © Copyright May 2023 Goes to Eleven Media.
