Was browsing youtube and I came across this video:
You would think that a show that prides itself on getting as much of the science it can right (as far as you can on a sci-fi tv serial), they would have at least scaled things properly...

I saw that video, but to be honest it's lame and he bases his analysis on purely what we know from our Solar System. The universe is big and considering that there are millions of planets alone in the Milky Way it is actual very like that there are quite a few that will be very likely unexplainable for some time.

I second Bridger really, an interesting video and analysis but who knows, maybe planets like that exists? Or the angle might reflect a different size to the actual one? Who knows, ether way, very nice find! Was an interesting watch!

Does it though? NASA has an interesting article about the science of Star Trek and how, as a tv show meant to entertain, the science is stretched or even made up in order to fit the story.

To be honest, i saw the youtube video on that and i must say some people really have nothing better to do in life.
It is a tv show. it is science fiction and in the end, we only scratch a grand of sand on the tip of the universe iceberg. We don't know what could exist and size does not matter.
Our Star compare to other stars in the universe put our star like a grand of sand.

Sol isn't really unique. Sure binary stars are very common, but single stars aren't THAT rare.
As for the planet, I consider that petty nitpicking. There are plenty of cases of downright bad science to nitpick the credits sequence that's there's just to look cool. It should also be noted that as much as people like to tout the science in Star Trek, it's still rather soft SF. A LOT of it runs on handwavium.
If they REALLY want to nitpick, they can talk about the time Voyager shoots its way through the event horizon of a black hole. Not possible since it's not an actual thing, it's a mathematical construct. SF Debris actual did a great example of why that was bogus by using the example of taking your cars max range on a tank of gas and drawing the maximum distance on a map; you can't just erase that perimeter on the map and magically drive through the hole. (Bonus fact, the event horizon literally means the horizon beyond which an event cannot be observed.)

Yeah, like the Enterprise-E's special feature : "add an additional deck at your convenience"

One of the best about size in Star Trek V with Spoke using is booster rockets boots in the turbolift shaft.
