    Great work! As someone that has no formal education beyond highschool this and your pillars of creation video were amazing and i could follow along for the whole thing! Thank you for putting yourself out there and please keep it up.

    Very informative video and easy to understand.
    Only the cuts is video are quite disturbing.
    Also try to keep the line - compound and elements - could be confusing.
    Anyway this was just cosmetic issues - the rest is great job :)
    Maybe I would welcomme some explanation why on spectrum is visible water and not jud oxygen and hydrogen - not in this video just fo curious people separate :)

      Appreciate you taking the time to watch and give back some constructive criticism/feedback. These are very helpful. Thanks.
      Will keep some of these points in mind while making the next video. Sure , will try covering your question as well!
      Cheers!

    Good to see you hired a new anchor.

    Seems likely there is selection bias in the planets we find via transit method? IE we are more likely to notice planets that are bigger and closer to their sun?
    Just thinking about identifying a planet like Neptune via transit, you'd have to watch it for at least 168 years to be able to identify multiple transits

      Thats a great question ! Absolutely you are correct, the farther away a planet is, the longer its period around its star is, and the smaller it will appear. All of these factors combined definitely biases the data for planet selection. Usually planets with orbital period of a few days/ a week at max are preferred.

      Is there a way for JWST or another tool to find Earth-like planets? A planet that travels around its star in a few days would likely be too close for life?

    • @mayukh_bagchi

      Definitely there is. So most probably earth like planets will exist in the Goldilocks zone where the heat of its star is not high enough to sustain life. Goldilocks zone on the other hand will also depend on the type of star i.e if its a massive hot and young star the Goldilocks zone would be substantially away when compared to a cooler brown dwarf. Again the disadvantage to being away is : larger orbital radius and thus longer periods.
      So ideally if you want to find earth sized plans which has a fairly fast period then it prob a needs to exist around a brown dwarf such that it can orbit closer. The Trappist system is definitely one of such target especially for JWST. The idea is again just to look for bio markers aka signs of life.

      @@ZackTillotson A planet that travels that close to its star is too close for life as we know it but there could be some lifeform there that thrives in those hot temperatures. Plus if the planet is tidally locked with one side extremely hot and the other extremely cold then maybe there could be life in the twilight area between day and night where the climate might be a little more temperate. Mayukh, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong that makes sense to me.
