Indeed. Who was she and why is a telescope being named after her (rhetorical question)? A video on how instruments are named for certain people would be great. More details about how the technological challenges of the coronascope and platform stability are to be addressed will be welcome as well as what kinds of sensors will be needed to get the desired data, and any other problems not mentioned so far. Also, how crowded is the Lagrange point right now, and how crowded can they get before there’s no more room due to various instruments blocking each other’s view? I mean, we know that Space Is Really Really Big but the Lagrange point is limited.

When I was about 12 and first decided I wanted astronomy and astrophysics to be my life's work, I never thought we'd be able to directly image an exoplanet, whether with a ground-based, or space-based telescope. Heck, the material at the time was still fuzzy on whether our data indicated real exoplanets. Almost 30 years later and this is where we're at. So when the HWO launches, imagine where we'll be with our imaging capabilities and machine learning capabilities to better enhance our data analysis. Fantastic.

This is interesting. I have worked on spacecraft, including both NASA and military, from the late 1970s. The long timeframes to research, design and build these devices can often be daunting to individuals. Sometimes, because of funding issues among others, there is a stop and start cycle. For example, I worked on the design of what became the ISS in the 1980s. When I started on that project, I had a bunch of older colleagues who worked on it in the 1970s. Construction in space finally began in the late 1990s. As with most space science projects, one is always trying to do something that hasn't been done before. This includes the instruments, of course, but also the spacecraft structure and mechanisms themselves. From the inception of the Landsat, it was recognized that handling and disseminating the massive amounts of data was important, thus the Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) was developed. It was considered a big innovation at the time. This new satellite sounds like it may generate much more data. Fortunately, the idea of putting specialized processing in the cloud is well advanced. It started with large engineering simulations and is now in full swing with AI.

By the current parameters being used to classify a planet inhabitable, Venus would meet the parameters from outside of our solar system. The "Goldilocks Zone" is pretty much useless.

I think I read that cloud cover greenhouse effect is a variable that can have a big effect on what the habitable distances from the star actually are, but that extends the habitability further from the star, which I guess doesn't help us with the orbital frequency. Unfortunately, heavy cloud cover greenhouse doesn't seem like it will help make high orbital frequency planets habitable: see Venus LOL.

Having to “wait” for a planet to cross its star isn’t even the biggest drawback of the transit detection method! A bigger problem is that in order to even be able to detect a planet using transit in the first place, the exoplanet’s orbital plane has to be aligned perfectly from our vantage point. But… the orbital planes of solar systems in the galaxy are a completely random affair (with respect to the plane of the galaxy). As such, if some solar system say had an earth sized planet located 1AU from its start (like earth is from our sun), there is less than a 0.5% chance that the planet’s orbital plane is aligned such that we could detect it from earth. In other words, it makes no difference how long we wait for the planet to cross its star since from our vantage point we would never see it crossing its star.

Hey Dr Becky, I’ve always wondered what your opinion on J1407b is? I’ve heard a lot of people talking about it acting as if it is definitely confirmed to be a planet or a brown dwarf with rings but I’ve also heard that it has never been seen to transit its star since its initial discovery thus causing people to think that it was a rogue brown dwarf with a protoplanetary disk.This confuses me although what if J1407b just has a very far out or elliptical orbit. But even then would its ring system even be stable? How does its proximity to its star affect the size of its hill sphere? I know the closer it is the smaller the hill sphere is (?) but then why have I heard it predicted to have a orbit very close to its star? Anyways, I’m in no way an expert if you can’t tell and just a preteen with a strong passion for astrophysics and I was wondering if you had any answers to my questions, I know there’s a lot of them!

Having just completed a course in astrobiology, it seems inevitable that life will be found in the galaxy. More to the point, we should find life in our own solar system, with several moons good candidates. It just seems that the chemistry of the universe is geared towards life as we know it. The bigger issue is intelligent life. That we have had life, both created and destroyed, on this planet for so long just informs us that life is most likely probable. In that same vein, that we have had life for so long but only produced ONE intelligent species would seem to indicate that intelligent life is much, much rarer.
