Did James Webb Find an Atmosphere Near TRAPPIST-1?

Join us on an interstellar journey as we explore the mysteries of Trappist-1, a distant star system that has captivated the imagination of astronomers and scientists alike. Recent observations have sparked a fascinating question: is Trappist-1 hiding a hidden atmosphere? In this video, we'll delve into the latest research and discoveries, examining the possibility of a concealed atmosphere and what it could mean for our understanding of this enigmatic star system. From the potential for life-supporting planets to the implications for astrobiology, we'll uncover the secrets that Trappist-1 might be hiding. So, buckle up and get ready to venture into the unknown!

The process of atmospheric loss of a planet’s atmosphere from the host star bombarding it with ionizing radiation was so much better explained by this guy, than most other creators! Whoever the narrator/host/creator of this channel is one of my favorites of all the other creators in the science education community! His voice is so great to me because I’m a southerner so I appreciate his southern drawl

[@justinhicks3783]

100% agree

[@ropace37]

I really enjoy the rhetoric being explained in a way that makes it easier for a wider range of people to comprehend. Most cc’s try to over analyze or dumb it down too much, but this channel sorta hits that sweet spot where you don’t feel intimidated by all the jargon, while still getting the important points about the galaxy and solar system. Keep up the great work!

[@CraftedCreationsReview]

The balance between simplifying concepts and keeping the science intact is spot on here! Makes learning about space so enjoyable 🚀🌌

[@jasonmilton]

We love your videos please keep it up!! 🎉

[@billywestlock8242]

Who is the narrator? Love his voice. Makes me fall asleep

[@Mr.Robot90]

It's Ai most probably. I used to think wow what a great narration, then he said, in this video, Fermi Paradox in a very weird way, and I think "he" messed up the word extraterestrial and said something like extratestial. So yeah.

[@nutier]

Amazing video that I like ! Thank you for sharing . Is the Trappist stay in our galaxy ? Happy week to you !

[@EdwinLH2796]

We should go there.

[@Ancientalienshistory]

The Earth's magnetic field is a dynamic force that has undergone significant changes throughout history, including geomagnetic inversions. Understanding these transformations reveals the fragile balance that sustains life on our planet.

Thank you astronomy Elmer Fudd for the video

[@branimirsalevic5092]

Only 40 light years? If we get going really early tomorrow morning, we'll be there around 9PM January 8, 6025.

[@simeonlarsson8889]

From one thing to the next, came here for the discovery, yet you only touched on it.

[@jaydils9680]

Please do a video on our binary star

[@stateazure]

20:45 I don't care what kind of professor he is, there is no maths or probability that we can use here, it's pure speculation. It's funny when a so-called professor throws around a bunch of numbers and comes up with a completely arbitrary solution and then state the maths or probability show life is very likely/probable, it's just not how this works. If we were even to find another 20,000 habitable next week, nothing changes, we still can't place a probability on life elsewhere.

[@tiddiesattic]

I wonder what the sky would look like on each planet.. could you see the others & their moons day & night🤔

[@victorgarciasilva8183]

Hi Space Matters project, would it be possible to activate the automatic youtube audio transcription to spanish or another language, the whole world will thank you for it.

[@rollmops7948]

the planetary system was discovered by a team led by Michaël Gillon, a Belgian astronomer at the University of Liege. Some news reports incorrectly attributed the discovery of the TRAPPIST-1 planets to NASA; in fact the TRAPPIST project that led to their discovery received funding from both NASA and the European Research Council of the European Union (EU).

[@emjem99]

Huh? You mean there are places that aren't America?

[@AndreTJones]

Love your southern accent

[@troygaspard6732]

Being that close in they would be tidally locked, with one side facing the red dawrf, and one side always dark.

[@Adlileis]

But can gold be found on the surface?

[@dherman0001]

Theres an asteroid near neptune that has more gold than all of earth. There are ethical discussions about mining it, which we can now do. It could cause massive upsets in economic markets. Quite a thought excercise to learn about it and ponder the global economic impact.

[@raywalters243]

Exactly, they taught us in grade school that our sun is a YELLOW dwarf 😂

[@schizooffspring]

red dwarf stars seem hostile to life and theyre the most common stars which doesnt give alot of hope for an abundance of life through out the universe

[@fredthompson5997]

25:06 look. If we can identify problems with plants with comparing different pictures. Aliens if able to fly around the universe then they would be able to analyze our ability and our intentions.

[@KevinClayton-c6e]

Crazy system,

[@miketaylor7023]

The dark forest hypothesis is not a theory. It's a plausible possibility of likelihood as a percentage outcome based upon advanced intelligence life forms arising from an unlikely source of events . Seperation of space is one measure that could seperate two advanced intelligence alien species. To cross interstellar space may be much harder than achieving technologies. Then the possibilities of further evolution to achieve super advanced technological capabilities is an unknown quantity. Logistically to travel to star systems within 50 light years is a headache and a half. Especially if they want to attack. Logistics are harder to manufacture in alien environs on different planets and moons. Unless we have truly advanced tech it currently looks like we and other aliens need factories to fix spacecraft and make parts ,water,food, and medicines. Might any aliens have logistical troubles as well? Not only is distance an impediment in aliens finding and exploration of life which creates a vast time seperation as stars orbit this galaxy. But the likelihood of encountering that rare technological alien species within the same timeframe seperates us in time as well as space. Extinctsion events are always a possibility until knowledge and tech transcends basic life support and allows for evolution to continue in thriving artificially created habitats. Which is way beyond our technology and capabilities . And then when you're trying to get there you are using up resources over time factoring where deplinishing sources of energy and raw materials mean a limit to success being within a finite range of probability. Then there are alot of stars out there. And let's say your world is 40 thousand light years away. That's 80 thousand years of communication time. That's alot of technology . It's very likely interstellar communication isn't possible with tens of thousands of light years in distance seperating two alien tech species in the unlikely event that they both have evolved technology within a concurrent time frame simultaneously. And to see alien techno or bio signatures from 16,000 light years away is like looking back into the past 16,000 years. It seems likely in rare instances aliens across the cosmos will meet eachother. Maybe within a shared solar system too. But the given likilihood must be astronomically small that it will occur very often within a 100 light year radius. And probably much further than that! It might take 100's of millions or billions of years to increase any possibility of alien encounters. And it's probably not going to be a friendly joyride . We might not the way they look or smell. Or their attitudes. Or they might loathe the humans they encounter. And it's hard to explore other star systems. To visit every one you'd most likely run out of time . Maybe aliens aren't a big deal to some alien species . Or individual aliens. We think they're out there in space and scattered across time . But with so many stars and worlds to discover it's a probability that no star system or world has any special significance in the grand scheme of the entire universe to actually mean much more than the mundane fact that alien life is a normal occurence scattered across the cosmos within a trillion or more galaxy clusters. There are no special ones observing under one electromagnetic spectrum. Just other ones . Infinite individuals with basic needs scattered throughout time and space. We're still going to kill spiders and eat cows. And have monstrous attributes that we may subdue. But countered with the malevolence some benevolence mixed into the contradiction of all creatures and things like energy and empty space creating a dualism to the entire universe. A contradiction between nothing and something that always exists beyond space or time. It's unlikely that alien encounters will turn into fantasy island very often. Rarer events within rare events are the most likely odds of what can or will happen .

[@pms9838]

I'd suggest 40 light years is in our solar neighborhood

[@lilac9639]

I think if we do find a habitable planet we could get to that was not as advanced as us we'd just take it. Thats what we always do. And this could also be done to our planet too from other civilisations. I really think thats the way it'll go 😮

matter cannot create itself GOD created the universe and created us, this is literally in the laws off physics so i wouild love someone to try to debate this

[@thomascopley9591]

Alot of this is speculation, JWST has found the first Trappist planet has no atmosphere. Let's look at the others

[@volodymyr960]

23:12 Incorrect. In Africa, there were no strategic resources for imperial European countries. No much coal, no oil, no metals for strategic resource mining. The extraction of resources and transportation from there was unprofitable. There were no buyers of European goods there, because these people lived at the Stone Age level. Some colonies were generally unprofitable, as was the case with German colonies in Africa. Only losses for the colonizers. So, the version that aliens will need Earth's resources is a complete absurdity. For those who will travel enormous distances and spend thousands of years traveling, such a trifle as Earth will not be very useful.

[@blackfish4147]

In my opinion, the reason that the theory is ridiculous is because all of those and more are readily available throughout the galaxy, and in much higher concentrations and without 8 billion people living on them. The only resource exclusive to Earth is us, and that is a huge assumption. I was surprised to hear that S.W. Hawking stated that publicly, he was supposed to be smart. Maybe the combination of the substances that they would want and a potential slave population would appeal to them but there is one thing that has become obvious to me since I arrived on this planet. Humans are more trouble than they are worth.

[@JohnShields-xx1yk]

We could visit other civilizations, but it would take 300,000 years using a primitive craft, using propulsion from the rear with rockets. Only when we can manipulate space/time could we travel unimaginable distances instantaneously, it won't be with archaic technology

[@benny982]

we still destroy each other and where the danger for other live where ever it is , even if we find simply nature we destroy it !

[@edu.M.A.0077]

The Fermi Paradox is a texbook example of Circular Reasoning. The question, "Where is everyone?" was answered by physicist Professor Stanton Friedman. ie: that intelligently controlled craft, not manufactured on Earth, have been documented in our skies for many years. In this context, the question, "Where is everyone?" seems ridiculous. The Fermi paradox is therefore a textbook example of Circular Reasoning because it assumes the point. A scientist or logiscian cannot assume a position. A position must be demonstrated via evidence.

[@jayy_lyrics]

We are not alone

[@dherman0001]

what religion tells you this?

[@vinrusso821]

It's a rocky wasteland, just like any of the billions or trillions of planets other than earth. There are an infinite amount of things that have to be perfect to form life. And another quadrillion times that for intelligent life. We are unique. There is no other life.

[@johncomitz9479]

Wow You are sooo smart

[@JeffGarrett-ou9xs]

It was 4 light years from earth now its 40 light years from earth wtf

[@jasonmilton]

I don’t care I want to move there and start over!

[@Alexandre.Savine]

"Dark Forest Theory" reminds me famous statement about generals, preparing armies to the past war. "Manners" of the XIX century are not cured entirely, but there are some positive trends in humankind self-treatment. And I hope - when the time of space expansion comes, we'll get even more civilized. Also, if there is a civilization capable of interstellar travel, it can find not one habitable planet but many and chose ones without civilizations on them. This way expansion will be easier than dealing with some unpredictable neighbors.

[@YourCuddlySloth24]

Honestly, I'm for searching for them. If we're gonna go explore other planets anyway i rather know ahead if they have intelligent life. It can mean the difference in mindset, purpose, and what we bring to that planet. Especially if we're the "we come in peace" aliens to them, don't wanna spook them either.

[@TheRealSnakePlisken]

[@Dullday57]

They won't be picking on it when it becomes a red giant...

[@pompomotaku2296]

The light spectrum and star classification run on different systems. Light being white is something they tell 5th graders for the sake of simplification. Red shift happens to light over immense distances, does that mean all light is red?

[@UnchartedWorlds]

We'll get there in due time. 50-100 years we'll have humans there. Mark my words everyone.

[@darrenpretula706]

no chance in this short period, add some thousand years and perhaps yes if humans dont destroy themselves

[@pms9838]

No chance 😅😂

[@Donkeydoodl]

Travelling at 17,500mph, it would take around 1.5 million years to arrive at Trappist-1 😅 unless we invent teleportation, there's no hope
