ScienceCasts: Getting to Know the Goldilocks Planet

[@Barseps0]

Any news in connection with KEPLER always gets a thumbs-up from me. Thanks NASA :-)

[@SyntheticParanoia]

Always nice to know something new. I really hope that we are able to find an Earth-like planet out there. I really want to know is it possible to duplicate earth conditions far out in space.

[@lightsidemaster]

Good to know there are people like you, who know what we could achieve if we all would work together.

[@TastyGamingQc]

you never heard of Glisel-D it is in the good zone to have liquid water and they were also talking about underneath of a moon from jupiter who might hide liquid water.

[@Oracleofice19]

I heard the planet doesn't rotate, it only revolves, that means that one side of the planet is getting light non-stop, and the other side is getting NO light non-stop. So it might have life on it but probably not.

[@LKWPETER]

Yes you are right. I confused both, I mean Alpha Centauri. But even Alpha Centauri is too far to be reached in even 10 generations.

[@MistakenImpressions]

4.3 I believe. Good example of a trinary system.

[@Alessandro-B]

Sorry, Andromeda is the nearest large galaxy, known as M31. Though at about 2.5 million light years away, it is rather far.

[@DarkAsgaro]

Keep up this series!

[@Javierm0n0]

Say what you will but who says a planet has to be the same size as earth? It could be bigger or smaller, the universe does work in proportions, just a thought.

[@js7161]

i get it, goldilox planets planets that are just right

[@LKWPETER]

Even if we found a planet on Andromeda, the most near solar system, we could never get there, because we would need technique for traveling faster than light and this is impossible.

[@CricketTimes]

Why not just point down and say, "There it is! A planet that could support life!"

[@ladyclassicalwrites]

It would be awesome if these exist! This video really *was* fascinating...also because there will probably be aliens there to study

[@LanceWinslow]

This is awesome, now to prove Drake's Equation, albeit that theory prehaps has underestimated the reality. We need to find clues to life.

[@w0o0tko3drs]

if we only invested all the money in space research instead of war... where would we be now

[@jerzeydolphins]

i mentioned that to a Congressman and he laughed and walked away..whats that say ?

[@staszekgobi]

It's not impossible but it wouldn't last long, physics...

[@MrMinecraftlord12345]

true

[@apismellifera1000]

Who knows we could a Pandora world

[@MilahTimeWisdom]

HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE THE WORD Pleiades IN EBONICS PLEASE RESPOND

[@TheDonSchwei]

why the robotvoice?

[@MrMinecraftlord12345]

and crush anything that tries to crush us

[@Neueregel]

keep it up

[@Wrong_dongle]

Thanks Nasa :D

[@flashoftruth]

hahahaha, good one! you do realize that is an oxyMoron don't you?

[@TastyGamingQc]

very far and maybe even discovered new species even if it's only primal

[@VangbroYellowboi]

interesting...

[@thedrooze]

We're searching for another planet similar to earth to support human life because we realize eventually humanity will destroy this beautiful marble we live on. Just an idea.

[@robertthekingful]

i don't care for earth sized planets, only earth like planets

[@throwaway2011]

he wants to study another goldilocks planet yet we aren't even done studying our own

[@SyntheticParanoia]

Why? It would mean that we can colonize other planets that will provide living conditions and resources, and whoever knows what else... Humanity could, in one point, in the future achieve "Type 3" civilization. And if conditions could be replicated somewhere else, it's not far-fetched the idea, that life could also appear and exist. If so, the vast Universe would be a bit less lonely place :)

[@Lightscribe225]

Because that's as groundbreaking to the scientific community as pointing to water and saying "You need to drink this or you will die!"

[@AutoPsychotic]

I wonder how much the guy gets paid who comes up with the acronyms like the one for "FINESSE".

[@sayman175]

Why are people yelling on these posts? Strange humans who think their opinions matter!

[@w0o0tko3drs]

we spend tons of money on war on soldiers dieing in war, on weapons, airplanes, imagine if that was spend on ''space travel ''or

[@justinlutzfl]

Or maybe they will want to study you!

[@Creamagination]

Mars

[@Coolish2488]

I don't get it lol?

[@ladyclassicalwrites]

lol

[@RachelChoyHoHe]

how do you know the moon is a he, it might be a she. :)

[@KillR3l2o4]

plee-ades idk hahaha

[@shakirfadzil1912]

who creates money? cant we just get the money from the creator? well ...

[@aboodapaloozaSHOW]

OMG! Where there is sun there is life. I bet you 110% If nasa finally invents a rocket that can go beyond trillions of light years ahead we could have extraterestrials or better of a new HOME where we can be gay!

[@roshiakbenjamin3683]

the sun scorches the earth 7 years starting next summer the cat is out of the bag ...... paranormal stories.com subsection malachi

[@Zachmman1997]

LOL i am viewer 10000

[@flashoftruth]

crap...again, i thought we were the only ones? ;) PLEASE STOP looking, if you find one with life it'll fuck up a lot of people's minds and many are batshyt crazy already.

[@DarkAsgaro]

Because it would shut up all the religions and people that don't believe in extraterrestrial life ;) And perhaps, with the discovery, the US governement will give NASA a bigger budget.

[@ZipingL]

If all that money earned by atheletes and drug lords went to science, where would we be now?

[@MilahTimeWisdom]

WHAT IS TESS???? SPEND MONEY ON WHAT IS TESS THO??
