Love to watch this because its full of great information about things outside of are realm...not to mention the speaker was very attractive in so many ways.

[@Jenab7]

So for every eclipsing habitable zone planet you see, there are lots and lots that you won't see, simply because of the improbability of transit for randomly oriented orbits.

[@carrotteeman4008]

good question,how does our star Qualify I do not have an answer to that question,but you could try to google it @ see what you get.

[@jaspalraina220]

How do u calculate the mass of an exoplanet by wobble method considering that the system has multiple known planets of varying volumes & may be a few undiscovered ones & the degree of wobble of the star is actually balancing the gravitational tug of all the planets & the planets themselves may be in differnet directions🤔🤔

Why is it so important a planet be the same/similar size of Earth? What is the significance of the size if the planet is possibly habitable?

[@qqqqqqqqqq7488]

Your bones can support a limited amount of weight. Your lungs and heart would wear out quickly. Why die when you can vacation in Bermuda instead.

[@tracyavent-costanza346]

the presumption is that a planet similar in size and distance from a similar star class, COULD host life, was the basis for the project. As is typical, MUCH MORE diversity has been detected, but the challenge is also partly to develop the means to DETECT bodies like ours. Now having done that, at least we know that our own solar system is not especially unique, so the chances of there being life elsewhere, given the advances in the last 20 years or so, the odds now are VASTLY greater. Still, not positive contact, at least that the general public has been informed about. We did want to confirm or refute the notion that the occurrence of rocky planets ( with atmospheres and water if possible ) were either rare or not rare. What we did more or less confirm is that "hot-jupiter" solar system varieties typically do NOT include terrestrial-type planets in the habitable zone, and also confirm that the detection of solar systems more similar to our own, took some further improvement of our detection and elimination "pipeline" inspection process.

[@bofumytofu]

I understand the what, but I don't understand the why. What good is looking for exoplanets in solar systems we'll never visit?

[@Emdee5632]

It has to do with trying to find out how common or how uncommon planets around other stars are. What does it say about those stars? What does it say about the planets in our own system? How unique are we? Is there a reason why our solar system is what it is, compared to other stars? And so on.

[@apillusions]

why would a orbital cycle close to earth matter if planet size and temperature is good

[@tracyavent-costanza346]

density of the planet morphology (hence mass) would figure into that, as would spectral class of the star (hence size/mass and therefore gravitational hold on the orbiting planets) among other things. And as she said, binary or more complex star systems would also change that entire picture.

[@springhillgolfer878]

I don't understand the "transiting" of a planet. Isn't it always orbiting the star and transiting it? Doesn't Earth "transit" the Sun 365 days of the year?

[@shanemarx9210]

If an observer happens to be in the right place, yes. If they are not looking at the system edge on, that method won't work.

[@tracyavent-costanza346]

"transit" just refers to object B moving in front of object A from an observer (earth)'s observation angle. As she said, technically such occulting objects are ALWAYS projecting a shadow SOMEWHERE into space but if not happening to be on a plane with earth, we would not see that event. The same applies to objects in our own solar system, including the sun, moon and planets. Those are MORE OR LESS on a plane (the ecliptic) but other solar systems could be randomly oriented.

Ah yes, red dwarfs... much more common, therefore the average is something different. Fair point! So, how does our sun qualify in the yellow star? department? I often feel I am the only one in town that not only calls our sun 'sun', but Sol or a star as well :-)

[@tracyavent-costanza346]

"yellow" is a certain general morphology and a spectral color, associated with the Hertzprung-Russel ("HR") diagram, describing the "major sequence" of star types. It has far reaching implications and so far has proved to be quite reliable with respect to modeling not only stars but probable star-systems and their planet behaviors.

[@marthanewsome6375]

The whole point finding another planet similar to our own is to prove we are not alone as a living planet in the universe. Before we can even work out how to get there, we need to find these places. Finding new planets that people could live on would also benefit humans in the future, when the earth may become inhabitable, because of asteroids or something happens to our sun or we become too over populated.

[@milkybar06]

Well said.

[@raymondanielson8438]

Nobody will leave this planet without some "help"

[@springhillgolfer878]

5 Billion more years for Earth. Then the Sun turns into a Red Giant and it's all gone. No life. It's possible that a giant asteroid will wipe us out before then. And what about overpopulation? Will we be able to leapfrog to another Earth out there? I think there are 512 other G type stars within 100 light years of Earth. Is it possible that one of them would have a planet we could live on? So many variables. A Jupiter like planet to attract all the comets and meteors that would otherwise hit us. Plate techtonics. An atmosphere. A magnetic field. Oh yeah, the most important element: liquid water. And fresh water for us to drink. It can't all be ocean saltwater.

@@springhillgolfer878 If, by then, we don't have the technology to easily extract salt from seawater, I have doubts about our ability to develop technology to traverse "100 light years" within any logistical context.

That's true enough mate, but the reams of data the science team collected has still got way more discoveries to make.

[@tracyavent-costanza346]

the alignment and positioning equipment gradually had arguable failures but the "extended project" was based on the assumption that those could be compensated for. And they mostly were, but eventually the power sources ran out, and that pretty much ended the active use of the Kepler. There is however a mountain of data downloaded from it, and that could still be analyzed for years if not decades, especially as the "pipeline" modeling was gradually improved.

[@SinJeeeah]

I wonder if we can take pictures of Pillars of Creation with Hubble which is 7000 light years away why can`t Hubble take pictures of these "closer" planets? Eg.: Recently discovered Kepler 438b is 470 light years away. Is it because of the relative small size of these planets? Pillars of Creation are giant gas formation compared to these small planet dotts...

[@peter6649]

The answer to your question is Hubble has been doing that since 1995 I believe. The problem in comparison to the pillars is the light from the host star is so bright they have to remove it from a false colour image in order to show the actual planets. Also keep in mind that the reason why we even see the pillars of creation and other nebulae is due to the stars shinning their light on these gaseous formations. So you can imagine how bright an actual star system would look like if peered at from a very far away instrument like the hubble.

[@SinJeeeah]

David Agaybi Thanks! I have never seen gaseos formations with my own eyes. (through a telescope) Are they really looks like than those on pictures? You mentioned that the reason why we even see the pillars of creation and other nebulae is due to the stars shinning their light on these gaseous formations. I thought these pictures are colorcoded pictures based on the heat of the gas.

[@tracyavent-costanza346]

in comparison with the size of a planet, the "pillars of creation" are gas formations that are larger than entire solar systems.

[@tracyavent-costanza346]

[@tracyavent-costanza346]

my impression is that the Webb and the TESS are slated to be positioned at earth-moon Lagrange points, rather than on the moon itself, but if lunar based it would seem most sensible for such very sensitive instruments to be on the FAR side, hence shielded from RF interference coming from the earth. Then of course requiring an up-link like the chinese chang'e lander on the far side is now using. I am not however aware of any such plans at least on the part of NASA.

[@GGlad100]

Titius - Bode law (Liesegang) There is proposed a hypothesis according to which the regular structure of planetary and satellites systems can be explained as a consequence of spatially periodic condensation of gaseous matter during the formation of the Central Body. According to the hypothesis, the periodic condensation on cosmic scales is analogous to the Liesegang phenomenon. Calculations indicate that the hypothesis is in agreement with certain facts: the mechanism of condensation under consideration does not contradict the basic laws of diffusion and s number of physical models: creatacad.org/?id=21&lng=eng creatacad.org/?id=24&lng=eng www.eso.org/public/archives/releases/sciencepapers/eso1035/eso1035.pdf www.universetoday.com/87784/applying-the-titius-bode-rule-to-exoplanet-systems/ www.scielo.org.mx/pdf/rmaa/v47n1/v47n1a12.pdf Now the Titius-Bode law sometimes helps to find new exoplanets! According to the model Saturn is younger Earth. Titan is younger than Saturn! The violation of law may be in the latter stages of the evolution of planetary and satellite systems as a consequence of the action of gravitational forces.

[@tracyavent-costanza346]

i notice that sometimes you refer to this as a "law" and other times to a hypothesis. I'd guess without being especially familiar with gaseous condensates on planetary scales, that this is hypothesis and yet to be confirmed, let alone applied for determination of which planets are the oldest.

[@Gezoes]

Our sun is not that big, it's quite an average star. Our larger solar planets probably wobble it just the same. The Earth, like Mars, Venus, Mercury, are harder to detect. Someone may be lucky enough to see planets crossing the sun, but that chance is also smaller, because the sun is not that large. The planets' orbits are also stable, not egg-shaped, what might cause a larger wobble. We are well-hidden, I worry more about our tv-signals ;-)

[@tracyavent-costanza346]

fear not...research has been done on hundreds of stars with respect to their sun-spot activity, and those spots are often a good deal smaller than the shadows of transiting planets. So we have the light-gathering resolution necessary to do this kind of work for stars (as Natalie notes) within around 3000 light years. Our galaxy is about 150,000 light years radius, so if we are only seeing 1/50th of our own galaxy, we have a ways to go by stellar standards to really have a LARGE set of random samples. Even so, as we accumulate more data, we do have some means to normalize some of the curves that she was describing, and getting some notion about what "normal or typical" solar systems look like. Incidentally Kepler and Huygens' observations pretty much confirmed that planetary orbits are elliptical, not circular.

Yes, dark matter also doesn't interact with any of the matter we do observe, which is part of why it is so difficult to detect apart from its gravitational influences. So this still would not pose a problem for interstellar travel.

that's the plot of 1999.

Ticky21 except for the dubious amount of radiation coming from the sun that is one of the main problems of getting to mars...

planets were not the after thought, they were one of the targets, further more, consciousness was the ultimate target/goal/formula.... it was not happenstance , it was formulated from a consciousnesses to produce terrestrial consciousnesses to look upon itself... god ? no, not in the sense of our ancient religious perspective , that's all too complicated, it's goal was much simpler... and successful.

interesting how you know this. She was referring to the sequence-of-events in the formation of a star-system, whose examples are observable elsewhere. They are still going on, and older stars are also dying.

[@fefaini]

ah ok. Thank you. I guess that would be an important consideration lol

[@UnknownPreacher2]

We failed to take care of this planet and they want another one to exploit.

Why build these huge space colonies to go to a new solar system. Just so we can get off the ship & go down to a new gravity well (planet). Would it be cheaper to build Oneil Colonies in our own solar system using resources from the asteroid belt. There is enough there to make homes for trillions of people. In fact all we need is a star with an asteroid belt.

[@TheHireTheBetter]

"Why build these huge space colonies to go to a new solar system." I must have missed when we did that. All of this work is to seek life in other systems, it doesn't mean we actually want to go there and build colonies. It would take hundreds if not thousands of years to get to any of these exoplanets anyway.

And live off of what? Rocks?

[@peterwestberg9894]

She just looooooves saying the word "balls" doesn't she?

[@freshhug]

What's wrong with her arms? is it just fat or wtf?

[@tracyavent-costanza346]

maybe unlike a clothing model, she is not emaciated and actually eats occasionally.

[@xeveneddison2236]

[@tracyavent-costanza346]

[@Hellraiza804]
