A detailed exploration of the fantastical planets in the Milky Way, including their unique characteristics and the potential for future human exploration.

Summary

  • The NAVIS III is an imaginary ship that takes viewers on a tour of the Milky Way's wildest planets.
  • Planets explored include worlds of burning ice, planets hotter than stars with metallic clouds, and zombie worlds reborn from dead ones.
  • The Kuiper Belt and the closest exoplanet to Earth, Proxima Centauri B, are potential outposts for interstellar voyagers.
  • Other notable planets include GLIESE 436-B with Ice-VII, the TRAPPIST-1 system with potentially habitable zones, and WASP-12B with a potential diamond core.
  • The journey also speculates on the existence of zombie planets orbiting pulsars and the vast number of unexplored worlds in our galaxy.
