    3:50 Answer: The telescope doesn't actually transmit detailed pictures of the planets. It transmits small shadows moving across the image of a star. These spherical shadows obscure a tiny part of light emitted by the star and move in an orbital trajectory (indicating they are planets). Based on the size of the shadow and the speed at which it orbits, they can tell how big the planet is and how close it is to the star. And based on that information, they can infer what the planet's rough average temperature will be, whether it falls into the "habitable zone" for liquid water, and whether it will be "tidally locked" (one side always facing the sun) or rotating on its own axis for different "days". Putting all of these factors together, they can produce a model of the planet (digital image representing what they think the planet should look like given what they know about it) and compare it to Earth.

    @professorramen224 3 года назад +2

    The way they figure this stuff out is really fascinating. The only things we have to go off of when learning about these planets is the light that reflects off of them and goes into our telescopes, and so over hundreds of years scientists figured out several ways to interpret the light, through properties like it's wavelength, energy, color if it's visible light, and other things.
    The wavelength patterns of light get shifted redder or bluer when the object moves farther or closer to us, so they can use that to determine relative speed, rotation rate, and other things.

    As a physics major sophomore I should say that the info from this video is not thaqt complicated to deduce, the only kind of challenge is technological, as you need really precise telescopes. And about the names, they are codes with meaning. For example, the letters at the end indicate the planet's number in the system. For example, Proxima b is the second closest planet to the star Proxima Centauri, and Proxima a is the closest. If we used that notation in the Solar system, Earth would've been Sun c or Sol c

    It looks like just a little point of light to us, but if you know what you're looking at you can learn quite a lot about it. A lot of it comes from just looking at how the light behaves. The object may be tremendously distant but its light strikes our eyes directly, meaning it's right here with us. We can take that light and manipulate it, filter it, break it into smaller components etc.. Computers play a big role in understanding the stars as well. Much of our understanding of the stars would be impossible without them.

  • @therealclart
    @therealclart 3 года назад +4

    Really quickly, I’d like to make clear, we have never been able to directly observe an exoplanet’s surface. By this I mean we have never actually gotten a look at what these planets really look like. With the extreme distances alone, this would be basically impossible. Then, the real reason is that the stars of which the planets are orbiting, are incredibly bright compared to the reflected light of the planets. It’s basically the same as trying to take a picture of a star on the other side of the galaxy during the day with a cheap Walmart telescope. The renditions this video shows are artist renditions. The way we discover these exoplanets, is by pointing the Kepler telescope at a star, and waiting until a planet passes in front of the star. Which creates a transit shadow/a partial eclipse that we can observe. So we only see the shadows of these planets. Despite this, we are able to detect specific elements in these planets atmospheres. Which is how we know what the atmospheres are built of.

    Fun fact: Much of the Kepler data was reviewed by ordinary internet users (including me) to detect possible planets.

It would alert the staff that that particular graph should be further reviewed for confirmation.

    You can't see the exoplanets like you can when you look through a telescope at mars or anything like that, Kepler detects planets by looking at stars for a long time and detecting when it's luminosity drops, if it occurs regularly we can assume that the thing causing it to become less bright is a planet passing between the star and the telescope, like a minieclipse. There's more math to it than that to figure out how big and far away the planet orbits it's star and all that, but that's the gist of it.

  • @Simon-hb9rf
    @Simon-hb9rf 3 года назад

    fun fact, the James web telescope featured at the end of this video will have the ability to analyse the light that passes through a planets atmosphere during a transit. by looking at patterns in the measured light spectrum we can actually detect the composition of these planets atmosphere, possibly including certain traces that would be indicative of life or perhaps even industrialisation.
    however given the vast distance this light travels you have to remember, we would be looking at the planet as it was million or possibly billions of years ago. such a method used to examine earth would only show signs of life in the last few billion years and industrialisation only in the last 50-200.

  • @NathanielStickley
    @NathanielStickley 3 года назад

    We are able to know (or estimate) the properties of these planets because we know quite a bit about stars, thermodynamics, spectroscopy, and orbital dynamics: If you examine the spectrum of a star, you can determine its temperature, luminosity, and mass. Once you know the mass of the star, you can use some equations to combine this with the period of the planet's orbit and the shape of the light curve (the change in brightness as the planet passes in front of the star), to figure out the size of the planet and the size of the orbit. If you observe the spectrum of the star over time, you can detect it wobble as the planet orbits it. The Doppler shift from this wobble can be used (along with all of the other data) to estimate the mass of the planet. It's sometimes also possible to look at the spectrum to partially determine the chemical composition of the planet's atmosphere. After the basic equations have been used to get estimates, researchers can take the extra step of running simulations of the system. If the parameters of the simulation are tuned to reproduce the observations, the parameters are likely similar to the real thing....so then you try to get different sets of parameters that can reproduce the observed results and finally you determine the likelihood of each set of parameters; the most likely set of parameters is probably pretty close to the truth.

    Bear in mind that finding these planets is one thing, actually getting to them in any reasonable amount of time is quite another challenge.
    We'd have to use generation ships to do it, most likely, if we can't figure out a _much_ faster way to traverse the cosmos. This means multiple generations of people would be born, live out a full life, and die on the ship. Not only that, but if we _were_ to figure out a much faster form of travel, especially if it approached lightspeed, we might be able to send that ship later and get there before the first one. Which would make everything the generation ship did for naught.

    Funny thing, exoplanets are actually not very east to spot. They might be large, but at such vast distances, even planets are too small to see directly. Instead, we sometimes get lucky, when the planet passes between it's own star and us here on Earth. In this case, we can see it dim the star as it moves past, or "transits". There's other ways as well, such as noticing the effects of a planet and surmising it's position.
    We can't see the planet directly, but we can tell that something like a planet is having an effect on something we _can_ see, such as a star. It's kind of like estimating where a strong magnet is on the hidden side of the table by watching where the magnet on top is pulled. You can't see the bottom magnet (without looking under the table, you cheater), but you can easily approximate it's location if it is able to pull the magnet on the tabletop.
    Most of the planetary details are an educated guess, based on what information they can gather from the spectrometry, proximity to the star, type of star, etc.
    EDIT: Oh, I should have just kept watching before I made this whole comment.

    You can determine almost everything from light and radiation. For example of you wanted to know the atmosphere of a different planet, all you have to do is wait so that the planet is infront of its star and then get detailed measurements of the light that passes through the planets atmosphere. The light will be reflected and refracted and thus we can decipher the atmosphere composition of a planet 100 light years away.
    Many other things are easily measured too, such as the planets distance from its star. All one needs to do is measure the light it blocks out as it revolves around its star. Because the stars size is know you can measure the amount of light as well as te intervals of blinking as the planet passes infront of its star. Using both time and size, you can surmise distance.
    Like these examples, there are tons of methods for decerning detailed information about far away places. Because the laws of physics as we know it is universal, we can apply our local solar system functions to other systems in tge galaxy/universe.

    I hope one day we can retrieve Kepler and put it in the Kepler Museum in Prague. Nasa might want it back for the Smithsonian aerospace museum, but I disagree

    "Why not give it a cool name?"
    Try coming up with 2,000 unique cool names lol
    And later 20,000
    And eventually 200,000
    And someday 2,000,000
    And it'll keep growing
    We just can't really.
    Cool names will likely be given to really important planets, such as ones we've colonized or found life on.

    The telescopes don't exactly "see" the planets in the traditional sense. It's actually kind of interesting to learn the science behind it. I'm very much paraphrasing here, but I can try to explain it. Keep in mind I don't have a degree in astronomy. The gist of it goes like this...
    From an early age, we are told the planets in our solar system rotate around the Sun, right? And the Sun rotates around what we think is a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A* in the center of the Galaxy. But what is not always described is that the Sun actually rotates ever so slightly around the planets and other objects in the solar system, too. Or, at least, it "wobbles" based on these other solar system objects. In fact, some planets -- notably Neptune and Pluto -- were first theorized based on similar "wobbles" in the orbit of other planets long before we could actually "see" them.
    With galaxies, we have been able to record changes in the way their light changes to determine how fast they are moving away from us. We know we are seeing light that is sometimes billions of years old, but we do see it. One of the oldest known, GN-z11, is moving away from us, making it what is called a high redshift galaxy. With stars in our own galaxy, we can also measure their redshift to see just how fast they are moving away as well or blueshift to see how fast they are moving towards us. These are shifts in the spectrum of light that move toward either the red or blue ends of the spectrum based on direction. Shifts in light were part of the foundational basis behind the Big Bang theory at the time of its discovery and taught us that the universe was billions of years old.
    So going back to the "wobbles" of planets, we have a way to measure a similar type of "wobble" in redshift or blueshift that we sometimes see in stars. In fact, we know from the makeup of the Sun that a Red Giant should have a particular spectrum of light that it outputs, and based on the shift we can tell how fast such a star it is moving over time. But sometimes these measurements show very very tiny "wobbles" showing the star's movement in relation to the other objects in its solar system. From what we would expect to see from the light, these are sometimes confirmed as systems likely to harbor planets, but we don't always know much about them other than the density of these objects and a general idea of where they might be in the system. Still, this provides us with candidate stars that we could look at closer to determine if a planet is possibly visible when it passes between the star and a specialized telescope watching that star.
    In some cases while watching these stars, such as Tabby's Star, we will see outright obstruction of light or specific kinds of light that we have to explain away as either dust, a massive planetary collision within the system, or some other type of interference. In other cases, however, we can actually see a full and complete planet pass in front of the star. This is called the "transit method" and I believe it is the primary way that Kepler finds stars.
    Using transit photometry when a planet actually passes in front of a star, Kepler actually gets to do all sorts of interesting things, like analyzing the spectroscopy of light to determine the makeup of the atmosphere of the planet. Combining that with data we get from redshift or blueshift measurements, we can narrow down the details of many of these exoplanets such as how big they are, how Earthlike they are, whether they are in the Habitable Zone for that star, and what other planets are in their system.
    Right now we are very much limited in what we can actually observe with existing space telescopes. We can really only really "see" the atmospheres of very large objects like gas giants in systems with a star like our Sun using coronagraphs right now. There is a new telescope with this capability being launched this October called the James Webb Space Telescope that is capable of finding planets about three times the size of Earth in these same systems. When it comes to red dwarf stars, however, it will be able to see planets like Earth. As far as galaxies go, it will put Hubble to shame, being able to take an actual picture of GN-z11 and getting us data on early stars that we theorize exist containing only Helium and Hydrogen called pristine stars. If we could analyze them it would tell us more about the early universe.

    bro, we can discover everything on space by using math and waves, that's how we guess there is a planet, star, asteroid or even bigger structures, we don't see them directly, we guess based on the numbers we read
