  • Good Vishual Video!!

  • Mantap!!, Gw suka ini. Thanks for shared

  • Good Video!!..

  • brilliant stuff here

  • great video

  • The Colonial Marines will make all your planets are belong to us.

  • It's only a matter of time till we stumble upon life

  • Comment removed

  • beautiful

  • Would love 2 be born in the next era just 2 see what we have found in the universe!

  • have they tried to cross reference star winking with wobble to verify their maths?

  • Kepler FTW!

  • AT the end of the video was that a system with 3 stars?

  • @Lucuskane Yes, it's a planet orbiting Gliese 667 C which is itself orbiting the binary star Gliese 667 AB. No discovery paper has yet been made available though.

  • @fauxpace Binary systems just increase the difficulty in finding orbiting planets, with either methods doesn't it?

  • @Lucuskane First of all, that depends strongly on the type of the binary star, but in general you are right, it makes finding planets more difficult as the movements are more complex. Furthermore binary stars have limited regions where stable orbits are possible:

    If the planet orbits around both components, it has to be far away enough;

    If the planet orbits around just one component, it must be close enough;

    otherwise its sooner or later kicked out its orbit.

  • @fauxpace Using gravitational microlensing for binary star systems seems the best method for me. Detecting planets that orbit both stars would be easier to pick up. Planets that orbit between them would not be as obvious, due to the gravity of both components.

  • @Lucuskane As far as I understand, the effect of gravitational microlensing is overcompensated by the decrease in luminosity due to the planet eclipsing its parent star.

    A planet orbiting between the components is, as far as I know, possible only if both stars are separated by a reasonable distance and the planet orbits much closer to one of them, which would make it similar to a planet orbiting a single star and similar methods apliable.

  • @fauxpace Then we can detect if a planet is orbiting one star or both stars by comparing relative transit periods, how long it takes for the star to blink.

  • @Lucuskane I'm sorry but I do not understand your reply, maybe because I'm not a native speaker :(

  • @fauxpace I meant, using the transit method to detect planets orbiting both components or just one. If a planet orbits just one of the components it will have a shorter interval than the planet that orbits both components.

  • @Lucuskane Well, I think in fact just one of these cases is possible at all. Close orbiting binaries only have stable orbits around both of them, whereas binaries set further apart only will have detectable planets orbiting one component as a matter of scale.

  • @fauxpace For close binaries, if anything object where to have an orbit around them, would we consider it a planet? I think it would have an unusual orbit, and be relatively far away from the two componets(plutoids).

  • @Lucuskane Yes, such an object is considered an planet when it is big enough, take for instance the binary NN Serpentis where two such objects have been found, but on usual elliptical orbits around the center of mass, unusual (that is not elliptical) orbits are only theoretically possible.

  • @fauxpace Didn't the astronomical society classify planets based on the gravitational pull of the star or stars on the orbiting planet? For binaries to have staple orbiying planeys, they much be vary far away. Does a binary system affect the rotation of the orbiting planet? ( 2 sets of questions here)

  • @Lucuskane As far as I am informed, an *extrasolar* planet is an object orbiting at least one sun that is not ours, not being a star or brown dwarf itself (the definition is a bit looser here due to lack of objects observable).

    A planet orbiting a binary on a nearly circular orbit can be as close as 2.3 times (elliptical: 4.1 times) the distance between those stars.

    I assume such a planet would be affected in its rotation in the same way as by a single star of equivalent mass.

  • @fauxpace Hi, just a partially none related question, are you an astronomer? You seem to know alot about planetary science or rather planet finding.

  • @Lucuskane No, I am not an astronomer but I am currently studying physics and I am interested in astronomy, especially in the search for exoplanets and extraterrestrial life, and I am very glad to have a nice conversation on that topic here, and even more so if I could be of some help :)

  • @fauxpace have they tried to cross reference star winking with wobble to verify their maths?

  • @masluxx If they got the chance to do that, they surely have done so. But unfortunately it's not always possible to apply both methods :)

  • @fauxpace you would think they would look for a system that they could just to make sure the two methods yield similar conclusions.

  • @masluxx Well, there are many such systems and they do give similar results. But whilst the wobble gives you only information on the objects mass and orbital period, the winking gives you also information on its size, but not on the mass. there is an interesting 7 planet system where both methods where appliable and yielded detailed information about the system (search for HD 10180).

  • @masluxx actually its the system described in the above video :D

  • how cool would it be to be able to fly around in a space ship blowing these planets up with some kind of ray gun. I bet it feels extremely satisfying to destroy something that took billions of years to make, especially when our own existence is a fraction of a fraction of time in comparison.

  • Is it logical to believe that beings having hemoglobin molecules in their blood are more likely to be found living on planets revolving around high-metal stars, since iron is an essential component of hemoglobin?

  • Imagine stopping all religion and all wars and start spending all that previously wasted money on space-exploration. All the money blown on war-industry globally would achieve amazing results.

    I wonder what religious people think when they see these clips. How does superstitious mind evade the marvels of space and remain in blissfull ingnorance.

  • I was born too early.. If there is a god out there, sorry i won't believe in you, but can you please reincarnate me in like uuuuuh 500 millon years? Thanks and kisses.

  • Now we can start to apply true relative values to the drake equation. This is great, this is what science is about.

  • God I love science and the stars.

  • It's so good to be alive and young in this era!

  • @EMPPT

    It would be even better a hundred years from now when more will be known....

  • excited for the next chapter...

  • This is awesome! I wonder if they're looking back at us? Haha :-)

  • @TonyN737 rephrase your statement if you can, I am not trying to be pedantic.

  • I have a high rated comment i want to see at the top, but Yt or upper wont allow it...

  • It's a great discovery, for sure. but I suppose it is not a surprise they would find planets orbiting around a star and some of them could have some resemblance to our solar system.

    the existence of technology to create such a powerful telescope makes me wonder if artificial satellites could not be spying our gardens already.

  • This is so fascinating.

  • What an interesting video. If I understand this correctly, the idea that random chance placed earth in its life-supporting position in our solar system may not be random at all.

    If I understand this correctly, their may be a pattern whereby solar systems form much like our own. Or, probably better put: the general pattern of the distribution of planets in a solar system matches the pattern found in our own.

    If anyone knows more on this, please leave me a message.

    Well done video. Thanks.

  • I don't like the inntonation of the narrator. How disgusting.

  • Being a exo-planet hunter sounds like a great job, it's what I am currently considering :-)

  • The sun referred to is called HD 1 ZERO 1 8 ZERO. Any scientist knows that there is a difference between O - the letter and 0 - the number zero. Making such an obvious error in confounding the two truly distracts from the video.

  • It would be nice to find out if there are any other form of life in those planets, maybe similar to humans...but i recon that it will be the last thing to comunicate to the world that they found other form of lifes do you think???

  • damn :( so many light years away. sux. be nice to have some more effective ways to move in space NOW. well i guess i was born to soon :(

  • This is an excellent presentation (concise and coherent). It's just remarkable how much data has recently been compiled on this topic. The advancements in electro-optical sensing technologies (along with unique placement strategies)have resulted in some wonderful discoveries.These are great times we're living in (for scientific achievement),and I can't even imagine what lies ahead in the near term. All involved in these efforts deserve our gratitude...

  • I can't imagine how people can't be facinated by the cosmos.

    Science is my religion.

  • God Damn when will find a real Planet, the one with people on it

  • you shouldn't be able to dislike this video

  • Pure motherfuckin' MAGIC

  • @yusefdoodie  lol

  • @yusefdoodie more like pure motherfuzucking MAGIC!

  • Hard to believe that as recently as 1995, the existence of extrasolar planets was theoretical.

  • @ForCurrentUse and a blarsehole

  • @Sardanapalus96 They will mean everything to everyone... one day.

  • @Sardanapalus96  The average person is stupid tbh.

  • awesome quality

  • Hello, anyone out there?

  • @lAuthenticl Yes, a LOLcat.

  • It is almost impossible not to beleive in God with so much evidence nodays. Makes it easier for the blind, led by the blind.

  • @solarorb How is it impossible not to believe in god? And what evidence are you talking about? Almost all the evidence I can see is against god.

  • @solarorb theres evidence for God? Not to freak you out but if you have evidence of God you will go down in the ages as THE most important person in human history, you can also expect a nobel prize. So what is it?

  • Fascinating! And judging by the commentary, we see again that when the religious right begins to lose, they squeal like pigs.

  • @Pyronak Consider gods first commandment in the bible-- don't eat the fruit from the tree of Knowledge. In other words, don't question, stay ignorant, and I demand blind obedience- he cared more for his damn apples than his children. This is his legacy- awareness of the world around you is forbidden. This is why they get pissed. The garden of eden sounded more like a concentration camp than a paradise- can't leave, 24 hr surveillance... terror in flowery words.

  • I've read on wikipedia that the star is 7.3 billion years old, and it's thus much older than our Sol. If the data is correct and if the star is a real Solar analog, then it's possible that HD10180 "swallowed" other planets during the course of time. Who knows... :)

  • Everybody go to utopiadesign and flag his profile for bringing irrelevance here

  • I love it.. going there for a short vacation in 2150. :D

  • @Davey850 Take me with you :D

  • What could be seen with OWL from the farside of the moon?

    Would it be possible to make a "ordinary" picture from an exoplanet?

  • Imagine how many more is to discover when the OWL is built. Shame that 1 month of Iraq war cost $ 60 billion and the OWL only $ 1.5 bln and yet no government is interested in founding it....

  • @LechuCzechu it pisses me off too. Governments ought to be saying "We have no time for your silly religious wars, there's SCIENCE! to be done!"

  • @LechuCzechu - Oh i am sure many governments are interested. However the ones currently spending that 60 billion, who have, or at least can borrow money from let's say (china...cough cough) don't want to. ;-)

  • @LechuCzechu I say send on what is present, not what's absent (doesn't affect human beings). What good can we get from exploring space, other than new resources? That will just led to more war if you ask me. I don't support war though. LOL Spend on cure for diseases etc.. :)

  • @LechuCzechu

    I guess it's more logical to prop up a collapsing country before finally letting it collapse than to explore space.

  • @LechuCzechu well our last president still believed the universe revolved around earth so were pretty far from a president believing that the stars arent holes in the black cape pulled over the flat earth...

  • everything is HD now, even stars... sigh...

  • Another great video!

  • Please stop replying to religious comments. Thumb it down or mark it as spam and move along.

  • Oh fuck... just fucking great... I came in my fucking pants.

  • why would anyone thumb this down?

  • Circling Omicron PerseiI!!!!!!!!(8) lol, sorry, had to do it.

  • @darkangelfire lol! you beat me to that XD

  • God hates satellites. Humanity cannot mock His glory for ever. He unleashed the flood before, and He can do it again. Pakistan has already felt his terrible wrath.

    God bless natural disasters!

  • @TinyCoconut PLZ tell me you're joking.

  • @TinyCoconut why would god not want us to explore the universe that he created for us. that would be like me giving birth to a child and not allowing to venture out in the world and make something great of himself. YOU are a FOOL

  • @TinyCoconut

    Yea... Last time it was the "boob quake", this time its the "satellite flood"!

  • @TinyCoconut LOL. go die in a forest fire. I'm sure you'd love that "natural disaster".

  • @utopiandesign You're either retarded or a troll.

    Fuck off jew.

  • @utopiandesign what the hell does this have to do with religion? Like honestly, not even bashing religion?

  • @utopiandesign Dude what the fuck? I just watched and awesome video regarding a solar system similar to ours. And, I was looking forward to reading interesting insightful comments about science, the planets, you know...REALITY! But instead I find your nonsensical bullshit about religion and garbage that's sending most of the world back to the Dark Ages. Nobody wants to hear about your invisible sky fairy! Just fuck off will you?!

  • @utopiandesign The pope, the vatican, scripture. Yeah. Funny thing that. A religious sect (albeit a freaking huge one) that has been wanting people to belive stuff like "The earth is the center of the universe!!" since word go, and condmened, harrased and burnt people alive when they didn´t agree. It took them 359 YEARS to finaly admit Galileo was right. You´ll excuse me if i find the wisdom of such a group lacking in the extreme.

  • What did I tell you ? :)

  • Science! It works bitches!

  • The universe is so amazing. So much I wish I could understand or see. Sigh.

  • his is more proof that A Super-Intelligence governs the universe

  • @crazybuttful

    Wtf? If there was a God, that paid any attention to Earth, what need would it need to create other planets?

  • @crazybuttful Proof? No. A compelling argument for some maybe but not proof.

  • Look gow far we've come, I'm truly greatful i get to see these awesome new planets and all, but when can we see the HD planets in HD?

  • There is no God.

    Stupid fucks.

  • @curlymolly70 got no proof for that and untill then im going to coninue believing

  • @curlymolly70 Well, yeah, obviously, but that doesn't have anything to do with this video. At least, it shouldn't.

  • @curlymolly70 when i was praying to god i realized that I was god becasue i was talking to myself

  • waaaat the fuck r u talking about...

  • It is my belief that the Earth is in quarantine. The manner in which we violate the laws of both nature and morality would be carried to other worlds. Therefore, our presence would contaminate them, causing their destruction as we are causing our own.

  • @utopiandesign

    Please be joking.

  • @utopiandesign Allegiance to the god of the ten commandments also means stoning unruly children, homosexuals and banishing women on their period. Sick shit.

  • @utopiandesign HAHA, you ARE joking, you can't really believe anyone follow the 10 Commandments. Have you really seen them?

  • @utopiandesign

    Really? Thats your argument? So if nobody did anything wrong, then everything would be perfect.

    Thanks for that.

  • @utopiandesign Umm, 'violate the laws of nature'? when? Do you mean 'contaminate nature'? And these aliens would have to violate a few laws of nature to transfer the signal of this quarantine alert to every friendly planet, and then send in the starships to our heliosphere, at a speed well past celeritas (because they would need to relay the message in time between the industrial revolution-> present if I got your "laws of nature" meaning)

  • @utopiandesign Are you saying that we all are like experiment rats in a game?

    If you will advance to next level right away I don't mind.

  • Concerning life on other worlds the Bible's book of Job addressed this 3400 years ago where GOD spoke these words, "Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the cornerstone thereof; When the morning stars [angels] sang together, and all the sons of God [men] shouted for joy?" Job 38:4-7

  • @utopiandesign What part of that was about extra-terrestrial life? Furthermore, it says that the earth has foundations. I guarantee you, there is nothing holding it up.

  • @utopiandesign What scientific evidence?

  • @jmg94j The difference between living and non-living matter, 20,000,000,000 vs 235 Exponential Bits of Information, the law forbidding mutation, "as little as one billionth of an animal's genome is relentlessly fatal", the depth of meteoric dust on the moon, the rates of erosion in the soil, the symbiotic balance of nature where all creatures rely on one another to survive, not to mention the supernatural: witchcraft, voodoo and Satan worship. Evolutionists stand in the rain & declare its sunny!

  • @utopiandesign And that supports a god or gods how?

  • @utopiandesign You don't actually believe in witchcraft and voodoo....do you?

  • @utopiandesign Bullshit holds the allegiance of billions, not millions, in bondageto false religions. There is no tangible evidence to support any religion. That stuff about bits of Information, the law forbidding mutation (which is total bull), the genome, and meteoric dust, etc is not evidence for god. If we could explore supernatural phenomena then it wouldn't be supernatural, it would be natural phenomena. It is arrogant, and dishonest to make supernatural claims without evidence.

  • @jmg94j "If we could explore supernatural phenomena then it wouldn't be supernatural" Supernatural is cause by any agent that the state of exist is unknown. It plausible to explore action of supernatural agent and never know it state of existence.

  • @spark300c How do we know when an action that we are exploring came from a supernatural agent? Just because we don't have a natural explanation for everything doesn't mean that we can insert a supernatural explanation.

  • @jmg94j muilptable qestions have to be asked. 1. all know natural forces are accounted for. 2. is what we experience well know with the supernatural variable removed. 3. evidence of intelligence. I treat like equation a+b+c=e. E can only be know when a and b are known.

  • @spark300c Once again, just because all known natural forces are accounted for doesn't mean you can automatically label a particular phenomena supernatural. There is lots about nature that we still don't understand. 500 years ago we knew nothing about the natural world and everything could and was labeled as supernatural.

  • @jmg94j yes there are areas we still don't understand but apply it were we do understand about nature. In logic equation a+b+c=e. a and b must be know. If a and b are not know then supernatural explanation can not be used. And example is some walked on water. If we know what he was wearing. The destiny of the water. the depth of the water. Plus we know the physics of Buoyancy. If we did not the physics of buoyancy that had to researched first.

  • @utopiandesign "to deny me my testimony is to renounce the essence of my life's experience". That has to be the most pig-headed, arrogant statement I''ve ever heard. Who in the hell do you think you are? It's as though you're trying to say that I am committing some sort of crime by refusing to believe in your experiences with your imaginary friends. Your testimony is worthless. You have already demonstrated your willingness to lie in defense of your faith. Why should I believe anything you say?

  • @utopiandesign Your an idiot.

  • @utopiandesign Sorry dude but yo're wrong not all mutations are negative just look at the humble house cat. some have 5 toes some have 4 and a vestigil one this is not really an advantage or disadvantage so both are evident in the species.

  • @utopiandesign Have you ever heard of a non requiter? It would have been enough to talk about the specific claim you made. But if you want to rant about a bunch of nonsense that you think I believe, this conversation will end pretty quick.

  • @TruthfulChristian2 And what is the problem here. Not all of us follow a fantasy religion. For me I think the universe is just to big for one God to watch over. So...... there you have it.

  • @TruthfulChristian2 You are actually a embarrassment to some chirstians who actually are scientist, which there are a few. You ignorance is destroying this country asshole.

  • @TruthfulChristian2 That description pleases me well.

  • @TruthfulChristian2 There is no way we can take you seriously.

  • @TruthfulChristian2 wow I just noticed that...he is liberal, and...blah blah blah the rest...wow....wait a min....you came to this conclusion because this person uploads videos from sources such as NASA, and ESA?.......Wow...Im amazed at your ability to peer into the uploaders mind......Ok... ok ill be serious now....So please.....SHUT THE FUCK UP!

  • The evidence against religion is mounting.
