Another excellent interview from you with Dr Bell. Thankfully I am retired and can find the time to watch your interviews. A lot of times I listen to your podcasts then I watch the interview to give me a better understanding of what it is all about. Unfortunately all of my friends are not the slightest bit interested in astronomy/space so I get very frustrated trying to find people who share my passion.
Awesome interview as usual! Loving these exoplanet studies. I also really appreciate the honesty and integrity of scientists who are doing this research. They're never jumping to conclusions, always considering all possible variables, and utilizing every technique available to them.
Dang, dude, you have developed such a well-considered, well-paced style and technique of running an interview! It's like watching a massage therapist at work over the course of an hour (and I was one). This is actually a rare skill in journalism, where most people poke and jab at their "subjects" like an impatient fencer. It kinda makes me wish I was doing something that you would have to interview me for, just to experience the sort of socratic exploration of the subject. You ultimately get more out of each interview than even the interviewee thought they would have to say about things, and that is some of the most interesting and evergreen material that comes out of it. Keep up the great work! Your efforts are truly appreciated out here. Happy Yul to you and yours :)
Was a very interesting interview to listen to, however I felt like he missed the mark on a few questions, either by misunderstanding the question and not quite answering it as asked or talking too much in terms of vague generalities as like "stuff" and "things". But darn Fraser doesn't pull punches with questions either, great way directing and interviewing! Was a good listen though, appreciate the opportunity to listen to a professional from the field!

Hi hi, love this topic and channel. I do have a quick question that has been bugging me for awhile now. How do the researchers know anything about the dust and the particles that are in the way between Earth and the spectrograph of the atmosphere they are trying to measure? Wouldn't the particles in the way between Earth and the distant star interfere with our results? There can be so many things in the way that is absorbing the light. Thank you in advance for your expert explaination
The distances involved are huge. Any gas near the star will be bathed in the star's light and heat which is then re-emitted and this is what is detected on Earth. Any gas in the light years of near empty and very cold interstellar space would not emit or absorb light at anywhere near the same intensity or wavelengths.
@@tonywells6990 thank you for the response. I have a childlike understanding of wavelengths, but I have heard in this episode researchers taking measurements at different wavelength. Is asking what this means too much for a youtube comments section? Is another way of saying the answer that the light bouncing off particles between us and there would be too dark to be measured if measured at all? Thank you
@@OriginalKajoulehaving a childlike understanding of something is fine, as long as you have a childlike desire to learn. And it looks like you do, so rock on! --A fellow person who understands way less than they'd like
They take observations both when the planet is in front of the star and when it is not, so they "subtract away" the spectrum of the star from the spectrum of the star and planet together, to get just the spectrum of the planet. If something between us and the star was causing a lot of interference, it would be interfering all of the time. So it would be subtracted out at the same time as the star's light.
Does NASA has a backup plan in the case Starship doesn't reach the necessary development for the Artemis mission? Or will just simply cancel the project?
There have been rumors that NASA is planning a backup plan allegedly called “Artemis 2.5” where Orion would dock with the early version of Gateway if Starship and/or Axiom’s spacesuits aren’t ready by late 2025/early 2026. The first two Gateway modules, PPE and HALO, are scheduled to be launched on a Falcon Heavy late 2024 or early 2025. Since Falcon Heavy has a perfect record right now I think the chances are good that HALO and PPE will be ready on time. However, these are rumors and may not be true. In addition, I think the HLS Starship will be ready but I think it will be down to the wire.
This episode is verbatim my favorite episode. Fraser asked all the right questions and Dr Taylor James Bell was extremely articulate in explaining the nuisances of the scientific method and the reasons why science is hard!
Is the distance of the cosmic microwave background uniform around us? If we are not in the middle, shouldn’t there be much greater variance in the temperatures reported to be shown by the distance/shift variances? How do we measure it’s barrier distance? Would the CMB’s uniformity appear differently in another part of the universe far from us?
Hi Frasier If there was an erath's tween with humans and our current technology, what would be the furthest away we would be able to confirm intelligent life on it?
I've read several articles that mentioned that detecting atmospheric Nitrogen is a potentially good biomarker for life, as it is integral to many molecules integral for life as we know it. Will you be looking for it in exoplanet atmospheric data?
When dealing with Warm Jupiters and other large planets that aren't too close to their stars is there concern about rings, or exomoons messing with the data? Like maybe water or other exciting chemicals come from the rings?
If we create a lunar base in a lava tube, how would open water behave inside of it? Could there be an artificial lake? How would open water work in a rotating cylinder?
at o:32, you said Centigrade. May I remind you that most of the world calls that temperature scale Celcius? You say it the Canadian way, eh? I have no room to talk, as a US Citizen. We call *everything" in antiquated units. As for me, I measure length in meters and centimeters. I will always translate if someone asks, but usually they don't. I am just teasing. The listener can translate to the units it wants; but please, no Rankin.
Is it just me, or does that guy not actually answer a question? I've seen alot of people on this channel that really should have been given time on Webb before this guy.
At 8:39 "Uh, Um, Yeah"🤨 This speech has NO place in Scientific Discourse.🙄 Hopefully his ability to put forth concepts and information will improve!🤞 Thanks Frasier!🥰 Mike in San Diego.🌞🎸🚀🖖
Great show Fraser. Here’s a question for you. Would it be possible to ‘deposit’ and leave stationary telescopes in space during our yearly orbit of the sun? I’m thinking that we could employ long baseline interferometry principles to create a giant telescope. Just a crazy thought. Please correct my thinking.
A stationary telescope would fall into the Sun. It needs to be orbiting with the Earth to remain in place. But that's sort of been done with NASA's STEREO missions, which put a solar telescope ahead and behind the Earth in orbit to see the Sun with 3D.
LOL, my phone's notification for this video said "How Did JWST Discover Meth..."
Jesse stop cooking! There's a whole planet's worth!

When you have time you should watch the live taping of the Q&As. Lots of astronomy loving people there! It's usually on Mondays.
Me too, nobody as interested as me either
Am retired but fortunately surrounded by aerospace engineers. We meet every Monday to discuss the latest from Fraser, et al.

Superb interview. More top quality content ty.
Perfect! Needed something to listen to while I cook and these interviews are always fascinating.
Wonderful interview, information, and perspectives -- thanks!
Great info! Guy was soo nervous. He does a few more interviews he'll have it nailed.
Great interview! Thank you and everyone for all your hard work!

New and different.

@@OriginalKajoule Yes, some gas molecules might absorb a light particle on the way from the star to Earth but the vast majority will not hit anything.

Wasp-80b sounds like a great candidate to have exomoons
I just love the phrase exomoon.. I don't think I can say it without smiling
Very exciting!
I learned a lot from this episode.
Really interesting 👍

Roman Space Telescope or Extreme Large Telescope? Which will tell us more about exoplanets?
Yes.
They use different instruments & techniques, and work in different wavelengths. They will be excellent compliments to each other.

Would the CMB’s uniformity appear differently in another part of the universe far from us?
Yes it's uniform. We are in the middle. The CMB would appear the same from anywhere. No Short answer for your 3rd question.
What is the farthest explanet detected and what is the average explanet detected?
Hi Frasier
If there was an erath's tween with humans and our current technology, what would be the furthest away we would be able to confirm intelligent life on it?

They zoomed in on the planet and saw Brian Cox waving back.
If we create a lunar base in a lava tube, how would open water behave inside of it? Could there be an artificial lake? How would open water work in a rotating cylinder?
Dr. Bell: (re: spectral class M dwarfs) "It's not fun to be baked by UV and X-rays."
Yeah.
at o:32, you said Centigrade. May I remind you that most of the world calls that temperature scale Celcius? You say it the Canadian way, eh? I have no room to talk, as a US Citizen.

I keep discovering differences in how we use words in Canada compared to other countries. Usually it's subtle, but every now and then...
Is it just me, or does that guy not actually answer a question? I've seen alot of people on this channel that really should have been given time on Webb before this guy.
So, ya.... Sorry Dr B.
Great guest. Um. Yeah. 😂
Jwst is cool, we hope, but why haven't you covered the NASA evacuated airship proposal for Mars?
Yeah
Q: So NASA is looking for the signs of Shit in space?
“Yay…had to stop watching.”
I’m sorry. All I can think about is Samual L Jackson saying “ Say yeah one more time m$&/?@ ….”
Dr Bell is very difficult to listen to.
At 8:39
"Uh, Um, Yeah"🤨
This speech has NO place in Scientific Discourse.🙄
Hopefully his ability to put forth concepts and information will improve!🤞
Thanks Frasier!🥰

All I hear is we're never going to admit to aliens. Give us billions of more dollars and we'll give you more pretty pictures.
