What Scientists Mean by Eyeball Planets

Welcome, my name is Phil, and in this video I discuss what eyeball planets are. Eyeball planets are a class of tidally locked exoplanets where one hemisphere permanently faces their host star. This results in an extreme contrast between the hot, illuminated dayside and the cold, dark nightside. The nickname comes from their appearance: the bright, heated hemisphere resembles a pupil surrounded by a darker “eyelid” of frozen terrain. These planets are of particular interest for astrobiology, since the boundary region — often called the “terminator” or twilight zone — may offer stable temperatures and potentially habitable conditions despite the planet’s overall extremes.
