  • Exomoons have been sought after for a while, and we've found candidates for moons around planets like Kepler-1625 b, Kepler-167 e, WASP-49 b, and even HD 189733 b. But there's a new contender: Beta Pictoris b.

      I think David Kipping is the leading astronomer studying exomoons. At least he invests the most time on it. He gets criticized by his peers for it, saying it's not important right now.

      ​@@dbsti3006I just watched an old video of his where he mentioned he was - for a time - pretty much the only one looking. He was worried (in the days when the Kepler mission was still operational) that younger astrophysicists simply wouldn't want to become an Exomoon researcher because they thought 'Dr. Kipling is going to find them all before I even get established.' So, in a way, I guess he'd say that there's a silver lining to the fact it's taken so long.

    • @Extrema207
      @Extrema207 3 дня назад +1

      Well this really depends on how red dwarf systems tend to be, since they're by far the most common star type in the universe and their systems are expected to be usually compact, with rocky planets and mini-neptunes, which doesn't allow too much space for moons

    The existence of a moon this size makes me sure that submoons are a thing somewhere.

      Religions' with end times popular doctrines likely will no longer have the apocalypse be exclusive to Earth (some by default aren't, e.g., Ragnarok); perhaps religions without end times will gain more favor, along with, as is already the case, religions that don't put an emphasis on the cosmos and things in it (e.g., celestial objects, meteorological phenomena, geological features, living things, etc.) being artificial.

    I'm so out of the loop, for some reason I thought we'd already started confirming the existence of exomoons, but maybe it's just me assuming exomoons exist because... well, it'd be really strange if our solar system was the only system in the galaxy where the planets had moons. Still, the first confirmed exomoon will be exciting! I wonder if there are Neptune-sized moons out there orbiting supermassive gas giants, if there are sub-moons... or would the gravity of the host planet not allow for that perhaps?

      m.ruclips.net/video/0_dm0xLtjnM/видео.html&pp=ygUYQXN0ZXJvaWQgZ3JhcGhlbmUgaG9sbG93
      Basically, asteroids are like a bunch of rubble held together by gravity, so if they were spun to the speeds necessary to produce internal-surface centrifugal acceleration of 9.8m/s^2, aka, 1g, then they would fly apart - a solution could be to first bag them in a strong material, then spin them.
      IMO I'd get economies of scale, where the asteroid materials would be refined, then make metals, plastics, etc. then fully-artificially construct O'Neill cylinders, Stanford toruses, etc.
