Exoplanets Galore - 32 New Extrasolar Planets Found

[TheFocomo]

I love how they got the coolest looking geek in the lab to do the presentation.

[Ksixstring]

i dnt understand hw ppl can be religious after watching this.

[TheChristianRight09]

@Ksixstring science the how, Christianity IS THE WHY...

[cocktaliana]

Then it goes away in certain spaces, the surface rotate as it's normal, but in certain period of time the planet gets closer and closer like a sink with water and heavy materials, but because of that and the heavy materials going thru the orbit and the planet rotation looks like the heavy metals and compositions are going to do contact but the magnetic field of the planet and the sun erratic fields make me think that mercury has a concentration of elements more in one side than the other, that

[cocktaliana]

I am a mix of pure Mayan and half French Spanish, thanks to 5 de mayo, I been always interested in the stars the sun and the life, not good with school, but 8 years in education, I know a lot thanks to books,it took me 2 years to write english and 4 to speak, I been in the shadows for a while, but I found a problem with our solar system,All the planets got a course to rotate, and I saw that mercury got a different rotation,most of time it passes very close to the sun...

[Zurround100]

its a real shame that we can barely see the planets, seeing detail meaning evidence of LIFE is basically impossible. Imagine if alien beings a hundred light years away could barely see the EARTH, no way in hell they would be able to see US on it....

[MochizMuM]

Dr . j you are adorable lol.

[mcplanetearth]

watch?v=b6tZLkIRpJU Watch this vid for some awesome renditions of tidally locked worlds. Thanx Be sure to watch in 720p

[Shenlonbe]

i wanna see real pictures or movies !!!!!!!!!

[AClarke2007]

These are heavy hints of something else (am I allowed to write that).

[dmana3172]

Hello Et!!! Are you out there somewhere????? Well, they can't hear us.:-( But let's hope we will hear from them one day after we find the earth like planet. :-)

[mrtecno99]

We need more informations !!!!....

[Kinjamaimai]

WHAT!? Habitable zone!? AWESOME!

[gabigp158]

Certainly we discover extraterrestrial life.Only we have to wait.

[TonyN737]

That'd be cool if they could zoom in and focus on some hot alien babes lounging by the pool, tanning their six-legged bodies!

[7Losses]

@TonyN737 Thats just.....Disturbing lol!

[thesparitan]

They need to put more research into finding exoplanets. If they can find enough earth sized planets then we can better understand the drake equation.

[ClarksonsinUSA]

America has an orbital telescope for decades,eat our dust Euro's.....

[jxvwp]

@ClarksonsinUSA

Actually the HST (Hubble Space Telescope) is a combined NASA and ESA project. And it's actually europe that stores all of the data from Hubble in multiple supercomputers.

[ClarksonsinUSA]

@jxvwp a question ,why was Europe so far behind in deploying a GPS system????

[jxvwp]

@ClarksonsinUSA

Actually we haven't developed a GPS. We just use your satellites.

But hey. Here's a fun fact. Did you know that the automated star cameras on the satellites were actually a danish invention? So without that all you satellites would crash or think that they were somewhere else.

[totalermist]

@ClarksonsinUSA

Funny as this may sound, the space-based telescope with the largest single mirror ever built is actually the European Herschel telescope...

It's a little known fact, mainly because 1) it's an infra-red telescope and 2) ESA does very little about publicity.

Most scientific space projects these days are international collaborations anyway, and that's a Good Thing(r).

[edgaras1973]

is there is any life in the extrasolar planets?

[1961arnie]

if we are an intelligent species god help us

[fabianoasc]

Life is probably common in the universe.

About intelligent life is another question, on Earth among millions of species we had only two ( Homo sapiens neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens sapiens).

If this happens in other extra-solar planets , than intelligent life is very rare.

[AlienPositron]

Life is rather common; intelligent life considerably less so.

[1961arnie]

has hubble ever look ed at the alfa century star system or sirus of any of our closest niebors

[biunyia]

i should imagine that would have been the first place that they would have looked at ..... i would

[yourmovieworld]

where near?

[SkullSyker]

YESYESYES!!! i so wish there is alien life on at least ONE of those planets!! i think its 100% SuRe!!! OMG IM SO EXCITED YAAAY WERE SAVED FROM OUR POLLUTION OF EARTH AND GLOBAL WARMING!!!! but we need too learn from our mistakes and dont fuck it up this time...  we are given a second chance!!! :D YAAAY

[ZeroHumans]

@SkullSyker Of course there's millions of planets with life but humans won't reach those stars before they blow each other up-thank gods for that :) It would take a primitive human rocket millions of years to get to other stars. Anyway humans don't deserve to leave this planet and they're too dumb for that kind of tecnology anywa so other planets and their animals are safe :D humans have to clean up their own mess on earth and stop breeding like roaches but they're too dumb to achieve that.

[yoFarhan]

how do they noe how those exo planets looks like up close??

[Lechaton2113]

@yoFarhan they dont just artists representations

[yoFarhan]

dats a lie lolz.

[Jakkoia]

OKAY. I know its a stretch but what is that song that plays at the very end after the dude says bye, the one with killer bass. (If it is a song at all xD and not just a ditty)

[320iguy]

Ah, question? were all or some of those images real or CGI?

[tekproxy]

Which images are you confused about? The pictures of planets?

[320iguy]

kinda were the ALL CGI or were some of them as such?

[tekproxy]

No, Star Trek is real and we actually have pictures of the planets up close like that.

[jethr088]

That's fucking AWESOME!

[MrAvenged]

Exuse my spelling mistakes.. Fat thumbs on my iPhone keypad !

[MrAvenged]

It's not impossible just highly improbable intelligent sentinent beings worth contacting are out there. Think of the random things thy have happens in earths history to allow us to inhabit the earth i.e the moons formation and tectonic plates. Without these things we may not have evolved the way we did. By to be so certain other beings like us exist ... Just stupid. I don't think we would get along with other beings from other planets anyways.. The holocaust, the crusades, wars In Iraq etc..

[320iguy]

you know that's a pretty pessimistic perspective friend, though i can see what you mean. there are too many people out there that want to meet with other life and exchange notes on the science issues that they address every day. so i am not to sure that other life would be so likely that we would not trip over our selves to get a message to them.

[desertjournalonline]

Great video. One possibility is that Earth is merely a colony of people from numerous planetary systems.

[tarose71]

it's interesting that the discoveries like this are starting to fill in the values of the variables in the equation designed to predict the number of other intelligent species that may exist in the universe, and while there may still be some error in that formula, i think we are starting to see that it is becoming a very real possibility that it is indeed true for there to be other intelligent life out there somewhere

[pattonnn666]

there is about 25200000000000000000000 stars in the area (universe) we can see today, so there is certainly much more than that...

[ekiroto]

Put some commas on that baby, I am not the freaking rain man here.

[coil311]

Great video, thanks for this!

[fantasticalNINJA]

too short

[canadakim1]

We have been lied to our whole lives. We wasted our money on education that was meant to mislead and not lead. This was done to keep us as hoodwinked as possible. Time to wake up people. The world you live in is not the only world with life - it's just one of many.

[1imax111]

dramaqueen:P

[canadakim1]

do some research buddy

peace and light

[1imax111]

light? sure, i guess, you dont want to burn my retina's do you?

And research in to what?:P aliens who haven't communicated with us? or cropcircles?:P

No seriously. You tell me to "do some research", so what do you want me to research? Buddy.

[canadakim1]

sit quietly. you will know.

peace and light

[1imax111]

Right...

peace, light and intellectual stimuli

[FSK1138]

we can see all this ...but we can't even see 7miles to the to the sea floor or even tell that is on the moon LOL SCIENCE !!!! LOL

[azteck]

that's because it's not up to who ever studies the universe to study the ocean floor.

[holyhell5050]

Seeing long distances in the near vaccume that is space and not seeing through 7 miles of densely packed H2O molecules is not really *that* suprising, is it?

[FSK1138]

well you did not get my point - it is not that we can't - it is because no one is doing it - if they found a alien waving back at them  we still can't go there -- but we can go 7miles and see what life is there - my point was, this is cool but there is much more to learn just 7 miles away :) !!

@azteck the ocean floor. is a part of the universe --LOL

[holyhell5050]

I wouldn't say there's much more to learn 7miles away, afterall the volume of space far exceeds the volume of our ocean. I do get what you're saying, but we are exploring the oceans - heard of Autosub6000? The robotic submarine destined to explore the depths of the Cayman trough in the Carribean.

Also your reply to azteck is lame - quarks and leptons are part of your body, but a GP doesn't need to know about how they work...

[Koss42]

now that is science! Score!

[cmbears17]

thats awesome, i can't wait, til we colonize other planets

[SplinterInYourEye]

Oh i wish too. unfortunately there is very little funding going into solar traven/exploration. I personally think that our progression of technology in regards to space exploration has slowed so much that we wont see a moon base in my lifetime and im only 22.

[bangNL94]

we need to learn how to terraform first. or we might have to travel 200 years @ the speed of light to get to a maybe colonizable planet.

[Leadman1989]

"my god it's full of stars"

that are surrounded by planets that could harbor life

new and interesting life forms that for now are relegated to the realm of imagination and possibility

[DooMDrat]

The more planets in habitable (for us) zones, the better! That'll help shut up those cretards who insist Earth being in the right place (for the life that evolved on it) was some sort of magic miracle.

[lazyperfectionist1]

What? You want to combat idiocy with facts and logic? You're dreaming!

[Gubby007]

@lazyperfectionist1... Seems like you've accomplished that with a simple sentence..

[TheMathKing]

Yeah, if logic worked on creationists\IDiots, they wouldn't exist.

[systematic101]

Same here. Of all the things I would like to be alive for that is at the top of the list. For me it's the most important question to be answered.

[hitssquad]

@DowntownCrony "overpopulation"

Have you read Julian Simon?:

juliansimon. com/writings/Ultimate_Resource

juliansimon. com/writings/Articles/POPENVI2­. txt

"more people and more wealth has correlated with more (rather than less) resources and a cleaner environment - just the opposite of what Malthusian theory leads one to believe."

[biomanwin]

Ya, the whole oil spill thing makes the environment so much cleaner than when we were nomads. That was when our population was the smallest, so according to your correlation that means the planet would have been filthiest about 150,000 years ago...

[NeedsEvidence]

AAAAHRRRG, German accent!

Cool video:-)

[DyfnalltDH]

that would be pretty neat wouldn't it? we could like, share technology, depending on who had the better.

[ridelo]

Can anybody here tell me how these observations have influenced the estimate of the number of planets in our galaxy? And of the number of habitable planets?

[Jink5]

One again, nature surprise us beyond our wildest imagination.

[puncheex]

If such a project were to be undertaken (and this video certainly doesn't even approach the subject), I would assume that everything we know now would be available to them (download the net?), and they would then be free to follow their own wishes/desires/needs. Trying to direct remotely over stellar distances is a foolish goal. Read Hogan's book, Voyage from Yesteryear for one such effort.

Besides, it would be hard to start a colony on a planet, habitable or not, that has 20x Earth mass.

[Katalyzt]

★★★★★

[JBSauce]

Great news! And a lava covered planet, too...that's fairly awesome.

[belliebum12]

My checklist of extrasolar vacation destinations just got another item.

"Lava surfing"

[9noitulover]

All these new exoplanets, but no stupid humans on them willing to kill each other. Good now lets try to keep it that way.

[Shimiz]

You know you're a stupid human for saying that right?

[zhuljiks666]

There will be no stupid humans, when our scientists go there :). They will leave us here...

[zhuljiks666]

I mean stupid ones will never get a chance to go there. And if I were a scientist I would think how to accomplish that.

[AbdultheImpailler]

cool vid, thanks for posting!

[kurt30001]

Where is the "U.S.S Enterprise" or the "Event Horizon" ( minus all that Hell rubbish ) spaceship when we need it ?!! All these hundreds Exoplanets we have discovered and no way ( yet ) to visit them ! Unless there is break through in space travel we will be stuck in our solar system for now ! It is such a shame !!! The new discoveries of more Exoplanets are so very exciting !!!

[554466551]

I figured it out: remote viewers! We'll get 'em to sketch what's there from having seen it in their astral travels!

Or we could maybe slap them around a bit. Might be more productive.

[mattghtpa]

What's makes you think there has not been a breakthrough in space travel?

And, why do you think it would even be shared?

Because, if you really think about it, for all intents and purposes, rocketry really hasn't advanced in a 1000yrs.

They're still using a propellant and lighting it with a match, basically a bottle rocket.

Ion drive seems as far as they want to allow and admit.

[IFloridaMotocrossI]

Yeah, and lets not forget the alien base on the dark side of the moon! =D

[mattghtpa]

And what's that got to do with my comment?

[RollioPolleaous]

I think I recall reading somewhere that the problem they're dealing with when it comes to Ion tech is that once the ions reach a certain density they start repelling each other and you just can't push more through the drive. You would have to lift the drive into orbit using a rocket but I expect he numbers of satellites equipped with Ion drives to climb in the coming years.

[mattghtpa]

Have any interest in theoretical science?

Familiar with Eugene Podkletnov or hyper-rotational superconducting ferrofluid while in Bose-Einstein condensation?

You may have heard of the Biefeld-Brown Effect.

And whatever happen to SCRAMjet and the tri-propulsion single stage to orbit lifting body?

Why does it seem that when ever a new technology that would allow safe, feasible, efficient, and low cost space travel, it just disappears?

[TheMathKing]

The Bose-Einstein condensation state of matter, only happens near absolute zero. Lots of energy is required to acheive that, energy we don't have.

[mattghtpa]

Yes, in order for super fluidity, 2° above absolute zero is required, but I don't think it is unachievable. The ferrofluid is also pressurized to 250k atmospheres, but like I sated, it's theoretical. If you need more details I contact my friend, who is a physicist, and Ill get more data, just be specific.

Podkletnov studied rotating super conductors in a vacuum, which is achievable.

[TheMathKing]

I too am a blooming physicist (in the slow process of blooming, been leveling up my math skills for a decade to be a super physicist later on). This is the work of engineers, but engineers are taught a very simplified and broken version of reality. This is all "statistical mechanics", and it's far more advanced than what most engineers are capible of. Physicists\Mathematicians are capible, but too uninterested in using it. (it's old hat once it's been understood). We need better engineers!

[mattghtpa]

What are you thoughts on Nassim Haramein work?

Also is the coil that Marko Rodin developed new or just physics repackage?

[mattghtpa]

They really expect us to believe that the billions poured through NASA that the space shuttle, a 40yr old death trap, is the best they can do?

They sent men to the Moon in a craft mostly made of metal foil and controlled by a computer with less computational abilities than $10 calculator and some watches, but then 40yrs later seem too dysfunctional to repeat the same achievement or suspiciously underachieved.

[DeadlyChinchilla]

Its called beaurocracy. There's more of it today.

The issues, mainly the failure to produce a real space-station (orbiting platform), meant the shuttles were glorified gas-guzzlers. Instead of searching space, they were sent for days-long trips into orbit to conduct tests and studies.

That, and not having military payloads ended up making them less a priority than other things, to the government.

It would be nice to have a respectable program in progress again...

[AcanLord]

You might just have it soon. when the shuttles are decommissioned and the Constellation program its going it shall become very interesting.

[DeadlyChinchilla]

All I can say is... its about freakin' time!

I think we can all agree, sending our trained astronauts into space in the old-style shuttles is like digging them a living grave. We can do far better. I've heard good things about the private creation of space-faring craft, so yes, its about freakin' time. ^_^

[mattghtpa]

Well I certainly cannot disagree with any of that, but something about NASA seems more like a dog and pony show rather than a serious space program.

Then I think that it also seems highly unlikely that something as strategically valuable as local space would not be completely exploited.

Things don't add up and just make less sense and appear more like a shell game or side show con.

It's my opinion, but I feel certain there is an intentional stagnation of space exploration.

[DeadlyChinchilla]

What "local space?" Our orbit is about all there is, save the moon. We may have the capability to send astronauts, but that doesn't mean we just shoot them out in every direction. Its a "dog and pony show" because NASA has to jump through hoops for what little funding they get, and because not having a safe vehicle means they can't guarantee any spacial activity.

Mars is up to 2 years to get there and back home. The issue of going beyond our local space is also one of realistic caution.

[mattghtpa]

"What "local space?" Our orbit is about all there is, save the moon."

You really dont think that if the space progrm from the 60's had progressed at the rate they went to the Moon that humans could be exploring the moons of Jupiter?

I do. I think it could easily be achieved. Fusion rocket engines were developed in the 70's with magnitudes more energy production and efficiency. Using the Moon as a staging base and mine lunar soil for H3. Ready made fusion fuel.

[DeadlyChinchilla]

Chemical propulsion taps out at 40,000mph, tops. Sounds huge, but in spacial terms, its a crawl.

We can actually create anti-matter, but creating a single teaspoon could bankrupt the USA. Then there are matters of radiation, which we have *not* yet figured out how to protect astronauts appropriately. A single second of space walk gives an astronaut about 6 MONTHS worth of on-the-ground exposure. Then there are supplies issues there and back

Its far more complex than just getting there.

[mattghtpa]

I wasn't refering to inertial confinement fusion.

I meant Helium-3 that is supposedly abundent on the Moon used in a aneutronic fusion.

[TheMathKing]

I am not familiar with either of them, might be a good read later on though. I am basing my claims on the educational objectives of most engineering departments at universities. Engineers don't really get to explore concepts and classes that don't traditionally have financial value. Statistical Mechanics, for example, would be replaced with classical thermodynamics. Quantum Mechanics would be replaced with forms of chemistry, or not taught fully. Of course, they could learn beyond this though.

[TheMathKing]

They do this with good reason too. It takes a lot more commitment and effort to learn the more "pure" physics, and that effort requirement will reduce the number of engineers that graduate per year. You can only really teach hardcore physics and math to people that want to devote their lives to it, and engineers are usually driven by creating things using science, not absorption of science. It's nobody's fault.

[RollioPolleaous]

The shuttle is an articulated truck in SPAAACCEE It's an industrial machine, It does what it was designed to do best doesn't enter into it.

[mattghtpa]

It's still a joke either way.

[TrollN3m3s1s]

FANTASTIC!!

[MeloDeath31]

Exiting! it would be so cool if they'd find actual earthlike planets with life on it soon :x

[AtheistThatsATheist]

This is a lot better than "the lattest pictures from Hubble" This channel is called best of science so whenever it goes off to show the latest space pics i feel like im wasting my time. However this is new information for me. Best vid in a while

[RadarKat73080]

I wonder if there's life on the "Super Earths."

[ReverendAtomSmasher]

I enjoyed this. Thanks!

[Kamidake83]

Cool =D

[Taiiena]

Amazing! Thank you for uploading <3

[sci0nparag0n]

Maybe your first but if you have nothing real to say your just a fucking dumb ass.

[normskis69]

Nice
