Planet Discoveries Revisited: Hubble's Universe Unfiltered

The field of extrasolar planets has exploded over the last couple decades, providing an entirely new suite of information on planetary systems in general and perspective on our own solar system in particular. One of the most exciting advances came when astronomers were at last able to see a few of these planets directly. Even those who maintain "I'll believe it when I see it" now have visual proof that our solar system is not alone in the universe. However, science advances rapidly, and the discoveries announced only a few years ago are already ripe for an update. Revisiting three direct detections provides confirmation, archival data, and some spirited scientific discussion.
"Hubble's Universe" is a recurring broadcast from HubbleSite, online home of the Hubble Space Telescope. Astrophysicist Frank Summers takes viewers on an in-depth tour of the latest Hubble discoveries.

19:01 That's exactly what I wanted to hear, I'm also looking forward to a new Unfiltered series with Frank as the host!

[@MusicByNumbersUK]

JWST? haha comming soon 2018? nope 2021 lol

[@Guest-xu5vz]

Thank you Dr. Frank, I had so many questions about planets, Orbits, Stars and how everything works in space, Your videos gave me a great insight, Thank you

[@sulijoo]

Wow, this video is nearly 6 years old and the JWST still isn't ready. So sad. So frustrating.

[@soniaannakeller66]

I am waiting for 2018! Thank You Dr. Frank Summers!

If one guess how many Jupiter sized rouge planets there are nearby - If we look at our solarsystem - maybe as much as stars or twice that - so there should be like 2-4 rogues gasgiants within 4 light years -So the nearest planet we visit would be on a orbit around one of those.

The bit about the planet George and Uranus was interesting . But I must say that I don’t want to know about Uranus.

Upon reading the comments, I see we have picked up a couple of people whose tin hats have sprung a leak.

[@hausberlin2752]

What I would like to know is can the Hubble telescope see a fourth dimensional planet ?

[@morgunstyles7253]

Ok. Im convinced. This is the best channel of its type on the internet

[@EllaShartiel]

CAN'T WAIT FOR JWST UNFILTERED!!

[@wwjudasdo]

Dr.Frank will you be my Dad?

[@jari2018]

I enjoyed this video more thatn new cgi- vidoes everyone does nowadays

[@nickpagano6086]

JWST is up there now did it solve the question

[@minh-hieunguyen6096]

So how is the answer now? This is 2020 already.

[@LoungeFly02]

That projection of Fomalhaut B looks to be more like a comet rather than a planet. Good to know that more data processing is still going on for it to determine what the object really is.

[@dilibau]

Finally Dr Summers! Welcome back!

[@SamaraLovesU2]

19 people have no clue how awesome this video is

There are not a great many things that I am looking more forward to then JWST coming on line.

I see your using the same set from my tenure.

[@gene546]

sir, I like your program; very professional; though I do not agree with most of the current hypothesis on astronomy, never the less it does not mean that everything in it is untrue.

How many spaces in the universe

I like this man. He is passionate.
