How do they find and research a planet 1000s light years away? Its amazing and fascinating…

[@Paulius-lb4ng]

Or 10 Billion light years away. Basically huge telescopes and then chemical spectral analysis, pretty amazing no doubt.

[@hrdman2luv]

They don't. All they can actually see the planet. Even with the James Webb, the supposed planet is the a black dot that eclipses a sun behind it. When I found this out, I was a little pissed because I was started to get very interest in astronomy and the thought that we might actually know of planets that were livable. Then I did the math and realized that that closest black dot, Proxima Centauri b, at just over 4 light years away, would take over 200 years to get to, at 1,000 mph.

[@BobbyLongghorn]

Light provides so much information. I think if we encounter an advanced race they will have mastered technology using light and all its spectrums

[@hrdman2luv]

If space interest you, as it does me, my advice to you is to not research too much. Once you get down to the details of how they know certain things, it will disappoint you. Here's one example. The only known habitable planet they claim to know of, they don't even have a picture of. What they do have is nothing more than a very low resolution video of a sun. The planet itself is merely a shadow as it orbits that sun. @@Paulius-lb4ng

Rob Simmons created the 2002 Blue Marble earth image that graced the screens of the first iPhones in 2007. at the time Simmons created the Blue Marble earth image, he was the Senior Program Analyst, who worked as the Lead Data Visualizer and Information Designer, Code 613, Climate and Radiation Branch, Earth Sciences Division at the Sciences and Exploration Directorate. this is quite a title to hold; it even comes with a code; that sounds secretive. Simmons admitted in an interview that the 2002 blue marble was created by him using Adobe Photoshop software. Simmons stated: ''it is Photoshopped but it has to be.'' Simmons stated that he took data images from a NASA satellite to create the earth as ''what I imagine it to be.'' if the earth is truly floating in an empty vacuum of space, a photograph of the earth does not need to be Photoshopped, as claimed by Simmons. NASA could simply send out a rocket with a camera into outer space and take a picture of the earth. NASA allegedly had no problem doing just that in 1972. however, it seems that with 30 years of advancement in technology NASA lost the ability to take pictures from space. the real reason that NASA must resort to Photoshop images of the earth from space is that there is no outer space and the earth is not a sphere floating in that non-existent space.

[@thecomment9489]

A little correction. The planet mentioned at 4:26 is within the Milky Wat galaxy and not located 100 million light years away as this video says. In fact there is no planet we know of outside of out galaxy. Even detecting stars separately outside of our galaxy is a impossibility as of now let alone their planets.

[@jasoncourson8112]

It's not impossible to detect stars outside of our galaxy.. we can see them with our sensitive telescopes like the JWST... just like a x-ray machine can see inside you our machines can see those too.. we've detected over 2 trillion galaxies in our observable universe.. most ppls minds when they are confronted with something that either challenges they beliefs or shown something that just overwhelms them shuts down and immediately rejects it and says well it's impossible or that's just scientific theory.. ( which is different than I have a theory) the Andromeda galaxy which is the closest galaxy to us is on a collision course with our own galaxy and will merge to become the Milkdromeda galaxy.

[@hmingthanacolney2974]

Researchers confirmed an exoplanet, a planet that orbits another star, using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope for the first time. Formally classified as LHS 475 b, the planet is almost exactly the same size as our own, clocking in at 99% of Earth's diameter copy paste

[@shilaumbron]

How can they say it is still a gas??? How can we say about the present Situation of the planet while we are seeing the past

[@ihateeverything9137]

I assume you know what a light year is A planet takes millions to billions of year to turn from gaseous to solid (liquid takes less time) and the exact time frame depends on radiation level , impact of Celestial bodies , planets composition, size. So a planet which is millions of light years far away could have changed its state (like you asked) If a planet is 100 or 1000 or 100,00 light years far away , its most likely still gaseous. Sometimes planets like jupiter or saturn remain gaseous forever for billions and trillions of years

How long could seasons last on an Earth tilted 98 degrees, like Uranus? Would we just have two seasons, or all four?

[@fabriziobiancucci7702]

It would still be 4 seasons because for two times only one face of the planet would be direct to the Sun and other two times the rotation would be normal, even if the sun would rise from north and set to south and vice versa once the planet would be on the other side of the orbit. Summer would be when one side of the planet would be revolted to the Sun, autumn during the normal day/night cycle, winter when it would located on the other side, and spring again in the normal day/night cycle

[@ihateeverything9137]

Depending on the specific orientation of the tilt, you could have one or two very long seasons with minimal variation in temperature or daylight throughout the year.
