Human beings have discovered over five thousand five hundred exoplanets. Recent observations from TESS found exoplanet with an orbit of 82 days and another measured in hundreds of days.
Did you know that almost all stars have a companion planet? It’s important to get to know the exoplanets and especially their atmospheres in a little more detail.
Astronomers have concluded an observation of Proxima Centauri b and found that the planet does not transit its star
TRAPPIST-1 has held our attention because it has so many rocky worlds orbiting a star that may allow some of them to have liquid water
The formation of rocky worlds from dust particles containing ice & carbon, increasing the possibility of Milky Way filled with aquatic planets
Join us today as we deep dive into Hera and Clippers journey to look at other worlds, also news from black holes.
Most exoplanets discovered without actually see the planet at all & astronomers are working on starshades to resolve planets directly!
The next big milestone for exoplanets is a telescope that can see beyond beyond the frontiers of our knowledge: The Roman Space Telescope
TRAPPIST-1 c receives a similar amount of radiation from its host star as Venus gets from the Sun. So the question, is this planet habitable?
How common are habitable planets? Where’s the life? How common are planets that could potentially support life?
