ESOcast 35: Fifty New Exoplanets
Loading...
Uploaded by ESOobservatory on Sep 12, 2011
Astronomers using ESO's leading exoplanet hunter HARPS have today announced more than fifty newly discovered planets around other stars. Among these are many rocky planets not much heavier than the Earth. One of them in particular seems to orbit in the habitable zone around its star. This ESOcast we look at how astronomers discover these distant worlds and what the future may hold for finding rocky worlds like the Earth that may support life.

@tbcslayer You probably will be dead. I think it will take like a century for humans to create a machine that will be able to reach other galaxies. Maybe if aliens do exist and they decide to show human how there UFO work. Maybe then you will get to see those planets.

@TheKingscooter3790 We won't all be dead. Only the one's not traveling at the speed of light, like the ones aboard the space ship that takes us there.

@StarStruckedSam It would take us a near unmeasureable amount of time to get there. If we aren't all dead by then, it'll be fine.
