Atmosphere of SuperEarth GJ1214b - Eliza Kempton (SETI Talks)

[macschomo]

The sensitivity of detection capabilities are unbelievable. I see every SETI postings and it gets preciser more and more. This is transparency in science. I wish German institutes would make the same work. And the Germans get money from the tax payers. So they must make their great work more visible, like SETI makes it visible. And you guys don't get money from the state. So THANKS...

I wonder how many from Seti have watched movie Contact.. atleast the narrator reminded me of that maincarracter. What comes to the data in here, i wonder how much recearch does Seti put in engineering these devices and how much interpreting information given by them? Space is huge, is it necessery to manually search each solarsystems form, encluding other particles that transit informaton from cosmos - otherwords, can this do automaticly?

@Mikaelaxo1 I think 100% of people at SETI have seen the movie or read the Carl Sagan book 'Contact'. If you'd like to earn more about how the SETI search is carried out, google 'SETI Talks Beacons' and 'SETI Talks ATA'

I am so grateful for these posts thanks! My father was an Astronomy professor. He died in 1995 before most of the exciting discoveries in extrasolar planets occurred. I often wonder what he would say about these discoveries.

[setiinstitute]

@TheTripp09 Our pleasure to bring them to you - we have more extrasolar planets talks in the works!

as big a challenge as finding extraterrestrial life is an even bigger challenge would be to find a life form from another world that is more pleasing to the eye than the carbon based life form that is narrating this video.

Extremely interesting talk with amazing statistics. I cannot imagine how difficult it must be to measure a 1% or less "dimming" of a star so unimaginably far away. It must be fascinating to study exoplanets and now I'm waiting to hear the news of the first exoearth!

To many uhh's and ahh's making me loose concentration.

[Olikiscrazy]

JWST is on the chopping block. =/

[AndreLeCoz]

i could actually anticipate her uhhs and umms, every time!

[wideheadofknowledge]

BS in physics. Haha! I have a BS in physics and everything else. What happened to a good old BSc?

[ColdSig]

Hey, Eliza. You're very intelligent, very talented, and super cute, too... just relax.

[BecuzIt]

to be not so frank the uhhs aren't that bad, but she could do with saying it less

[drmoroe30]

Close your eyes and listen to the dude giving the introduction- it's Murray from FOTC.

Cheer up Murray, don't let um get ya down!

[setiinstitute]

@drmoroe30 Murray Hewitt is a Kiwi though, and this guy is an Aussie. Close your eyes and listen to the 'i's and 'e's and you'll hear the difference. Thanks for the feedback!

[sonicase]

it's pretty sad that jwst's funding could get pulled, it could help with determining exoplanet atmospheres

Eliza might want to work on cutting down all the "uhhh"s lol

[fishbone937]

science!
