Astronomers using Hubble Space Telescope data have new observations of a candidate exomoon associated with Kepler-1625b. If confirmed, this exomoon would be quite large, with a mass and radius similar to Neptune. The exoplanet Kepler-1625b is itself quite large, a planet initially estimated to be several Jupiter masses. Please join Tony Darnell, Carol Christian, Alex Teachey and David Kipping as they discuss these new observations and what they tell us about this new exomoon.

Prof Kipping is the principal investigator of a project which has been searching for exomoons over recent years and in our latest research paper we've find exciting evidence that the exoplanet Kepler-1625b appears to host a Neptune-sized moon. The embargo on our paper in Science Advances has just lifted and we wanted to give our viewers a Cool Worlds exclusive! In one two videos we've shot, David explains some of the history of our project, how we came to observe this planet and the properties and potential reality of our exomoon candidate. ► Companion Video by Alex Teachey: https://youtu.be/eGjgD27Dtpc ► "Did we find an exomoon?" earlier video on Kepler-1625: https://youtu.be/8V9QHn5oHMs ► "An Update on our Exomoon Candidate" earlier video: https://youtu.be/vDXJAtLLiyw == Referenced papers == ► Teachey, A. & Kipping, D., 2018, "Evidence for an Exomoon Orbiting Kepler-1625b", Science Advances ► Teachey, A., Kipping, D. & Schmitt, A., 2018, "HEK.

Alex Teachey is the first author of our new paper presenting compelling evidence for an exomoon orbiting Kepler-1625b. The embargo on our paper in Science Advances has just lifted and we wanted to give our viewers a Cool Worlds exclusive! In one two videos we've shot, Alex goes through our new observations of Kepler-1625b using the Hubble Space Telescope and explains why we think the exomoon hypothesis is the most viable hypothesis to explain this new data, yet why we still think it's best to think of this as a candidate rather than a discovery. ► Companion Video by David Kipping: https://youtu.be/vlcc2MdYaik ► "Did we find an exomoon?" earlier video on Kepler-1625: https://youtu.be/8V9QHn5oHMs ► "An Update on our Exomoon Candidate" earlier video: https://youtu.be/vDXJAtLLiyw == Referenced papers == ► Teachey, A. & Kipping, D., 2018, "Evidence for an Exomoon Orbiting Kepler-1625b", Science Advances ► Teachey, A., Kipping, D. & Schmitt, A., 2018, "HEK.

The first science observations from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, or TESS, are providing valuable data to help NASA scientists discover and study exoplanets — planets beyond our solar system. Children around the world, from ages four to 12, have an opportunity to contribute to NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. Winning artwork from a contest that runs through Oct. 17 will be used to create a 2019 calendar with different space themes for each month.

TESS's first planets have been found! NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite released its first full-frame image last week, but astronomers also submitted three papers detailing the discovery of two new exoplanets. These exoplanets are a first for TESS and are designated pi Mensae c and LHS 3844 b. pi Men c orbits a star much like our Sun, while LHS 3844 is a red dwarf star. But both planets are ultra-short period planets and are most likely tidally locked, and probably not suitable for life.

Watch Professor Farisa Morales talk about planetary system formation, leading us to explore the uniqueness of our Solar System. The briefing also includes information about the tools and techniques scientists use to study these systems. Professor Morales also speaks about the formation of planets in disks, and ongoing efforts to detect them.

Are we alone? How unique is our Earth? Should the hunt for life beyond Earth uncover a multitude of habitable worlds and few (if any) inhabited ones, humanity would begin to understand just how lonely and fragile our situation is. On the other hand, if our hunt yields a true diversity of inhabited worlds, then we would learn something fundamental about the commonality of life in the cosmos. Like this content?

Last year, scientists discovered the hottest known planet belonging to the ‘Ultra Hot Jupiter’ category, and more recently detected often-elusive iron and titanium vapors in its atmosphere.

In this episode, is it possible to find exoplanets using their gravitational wave signatures? It turns out it is possible if the orbit of the planet is close enough and short enough to the host star, in other words, if the gravitational luminosity (I love that term) is bright enough. So what kind of exoplanets can we expect to find using gravitational waves and from where?

Let’s talk about ExoMoons, you know, those moons in orbit around other planets around other stars in our galaxy. Is it possible that they might be better harbors for life? Even in our own solar system, the moons Europa and Enceladus look the most promising, even better than Mars. So, what about elsewhere? Could life be better found on an exomoon around and exoplanet around another star?

According to Business Insider, NASA is launching a new planet-hunting space telescope in April through the use of a SpaceX rocket. The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, or TESS, for short, is a spacecraft that could discover thousands of worlds fairly close to Earth. Scientists also expect to find about 50 small, rocky planets that may be habitable to alien life . TESS has already begun its two-year mission to hunt for exoplanets and it may reel in its first candidates for new worlds this week https://www.businessinsider.com/nasa-space-telescope-tess-searches-for-alien-planets-2018-8 http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

There are lots of amazing recently discovered earth like planets in the Goldilocks zones of the universe, so lets take a look at the most earth-like planets that can support human life! Subscribe for more! ► https://goo.gl/pgcoq1 ◄ Stay updated ► https://goo.gl/JyGcTt https://goo.gl/5c8dzr ◄ For copyright queries or general inquiries please get in touch: [email protected] Be Amazed at these top 10 earth like planets! Gliese 667 Cc - Gliese 667 is a triple-star system that is located 23.6 light years from Earth. Kepler 22b - This confirmed exoplanet that is part of a star system 587 light years away from Earth. KOI-7711.01 - KOI, or Kepler Object of Interest number 7711.01, is one of the more recently discovered potentially habitable exoplanets to date. Proxima Centauri b - Proxima Centauri b is currently the closest candidatefor anEarth duplicate within the Milky Way. Trappist 1d - The habitable zone of Trappist-1 is home to at least three planets that are very near each other. So near in fact, that one looks like the moon of another, size-wise. Kepler 452b - Kepler 452 is yet another star that closely resembles our Sun. As a G-type main sequence star, its habitable zone lies almost within the same region earth sits relative to our Sun. Kepler 186f - Kepler 186f is an exoplanet that is only 10% larger than our own, very close to being the analog of our Pale Blue Dot. Kepler 62f - Another rather heavy oddball, Kepler 62f bears somewhat of a resemblance to Gliese 667 Cc.Itsabout40% biggerthan Earth. Kepler 438b - At only 10% bigger than Earth, Kepler 438b is the closest earth clone we’ve found to date. KOI-7923.01 - KOI-7923.01 has a measured size that is 97% the size of Earth. In terms of habitability, this exoplanet even beats Earth’s very own twin, Venus, which is “only” 95% as big as our home.

After a successful launch on April 18th of this year onboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, the next generation of space telescopes to look for exoplanets, in our galaxy, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite has completed its commissioning phase and is now ready to take observations. TESS promises to expand our catalog of exoplanets and bring humanity a little closer to finding out if we are alone in the galaxy.

TRAPPIST-1 is an amazing system discovered last year featuring seven roughly Earth-sized planets all transiting their diminutive parent star. Could there be an eighth? If there is, in this video Prof Kipping argues that it should be possible to precisely predict what the orbital period of such a planet would be. Right or wrong, this prediction provides a falsifiable hypothesis to test our understanding of the rules governing planetary system architectures. ► Kipping (2018), "Predicting the Orbit of TRAPPIST-1i", AAS research note: https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.10835 ► Gillon et al.

Astronomers have found dozens of potentially habitable planets outside of our solar system called Super-Earths. According to Business Insider, since 2009, the Kepler Space Telescope has discovered about 4,000 exoplanets and roughly 30% of them are Super-Earths. A small percentage of the Super-Earths have a strong gravitational pull which means the planet's surface is just the right temperature for liquid water, but there's also a chance that the larger ones could be made of mostly hydrogen and helium gas like Jupiter and Saturn and not be hospitable for life. The only reality we know for sure is that astronomers are still gathering details as the data comes in. http://www.businessinsider.com/what-is-super-earth-2018-6 http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

A team of astronomers has discovered three infant planets around a newborn star. Two new papers published in Astrophysical Journal Letters Wednesday describe the finding. The astronomers in Chile used the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). The three infant planets were found around a young star located about 330 light-years from Earth. The star is twice the size of Earth's Sun and four million years old. https://gizmodo.com/new-technique-reveals-hidden-infant-planets-orbiting-a-1826798242 http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

ALMA has uncovered convincing evidence that three young planets are in orbit around the infant star HD 163296. Using a new planet-finding technique, astronomers have identified three discrete disturbances in the young star’s gas-filled disc: the strongest evidence yet that newly formed planets are in orbit there. These are considered the first planets discovered with ALMA. The video is available in 4K UHD.

Mars, Pluto, and extrasolar planets. Hosted by Seth Shostak and Molly Bentley. Pluto, we hardly knew ye. Well, not anymore! Until recently, Pluto and Mars were respectively the least-known and best-known planet-sized bodies in our Solar System. Thanks to the New Horizons spacecraft, our picture of Pluto has changed from a featureless dot to a place where we can name the geologic features. And with rovers and orbiters surveying the red planet, we now know much more about Mars than our parents ever did. Examining our planetary backyard has provided insight into the trillion other planets in our galaxy. Dive into a mountain lake and trek though the driest desert on Earth with a scientist who’s had not one but two near-fatal incidents in these extreme environments. Find out what questions compel her to keep returning. And scientists on the New Horizons mission remember why the nail-biting Pluto flyby almost failed at the last minute. Find out what surprises Pluto offered and what the mission might uncover as it heads to its next, outer solar-system target. Also, from Earth-like planets to super Earths and water worlds: a tour of some of Kepler’s most intriguing extrasolar planets.

Thanks to NASA, you can now virtually travel to an exoplanet.

The U.S. space agency recently launched its Exoplanet Travel Bureau.

Watch Slava G. Turyshev (Physicist, JPL) and Louis Friedman (Co-Founder and Executive Director Emeritus, The Planetary Society) discuss a mission to the SGL focal region that could provide us with direct, multi-pixel, high-resolution images and spectroscopy of a potentially habitable Earth-like exoplanet. The speakers address some aspects of mission design and spacecraft requirements, as well as capabilities needed to fly this mission in the next two decades. This lecture took place at the workshop "Technology Requirements to Operate at and Utilize the Solar Gravity Lens for Exoplanet Imaging" at the Keck Institute for Space Studies on May 16, 2018.

At best, we typically only know the mass and radius of exoplanets. But really, when we find rocky planets we'd like to know whether their interiors are similar or dissimilar to that of the Earth. Conventionally, this is impossible, as there are simply too many possible models and just two measured quantities. In a new research paper from our group, the Cool Worlds Lab here at Columbia University, we think we've helped crack at least part of the problem. Our new model, called HARDCORE, is explained in this video by the lead author and rising senior undergraduate at Columbia, Gabrielle Suissa - enjoy! ::More about this Video:: ► Suissa & Kipping (2018), "A HARDCORE model for constraining an exoplanet's core size", MNRAS, 476, 2613: https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.02019 ► HARDCORE code is available at GitHub: https://github.com/gsuissa/hardCORE ► Columbia University Department of Astronomy: http://www.astro.columbia.edu ► Cool Worlds Lab website: http://coolworlds.astro.columbia.edu ► Outro music by 8-bit Universe "Harder Better Faster Stronger [8 Bit Cover Tribute to Daft Punk]": https://8bituniverse.bandcamp.com/track/harder-better-faster-stronger-8-bit-tribute-to-daft-punk ::Playlists For Channel:: Latest Cool Worlds Videos ► http://bit.ly/NewCoolWorlds Cool Worlds Research ► http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsResearch Guest Videos ► http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsGuests Q&A Videos ► http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsQA Tabby's Star ► http://bit.ly/TabbysStar Science of TV/Film ► http://bit.ly/ScienceMovies ::Follow us:: SUBSCRIBE to the channel http://bit.ly/CoolWorldsSubscribe Cool Worlds Lab http://coolworlds.astro.columbia.edu Twitter https://twitter.com/david_kipping Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cool.worlds THANKS FOR WATCHING!!

The space telescope CHEOPS (CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite) instrument has left a clean room in Switzerland, where it was assembled and tested, and is now in Madrid for further launch preparations. The telescope will study hundreds of known exoplanets using the transit method - measuring the dip in light as a planet transits its parent star. CHEOPS will herald a new era of discovery. Its precision measurements will give more detailed information about a planet’s structure, atmosphere and surface temperature. It was built at the University of Bern and the mission is a partnership between ESA and Switzerland with additional contributions from Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. Integration and testing of the CHEOPS spacecraft is ongoing and the project is on track to reach flight readiness by the end of 2018. This film contains soundbites from Willy Benz, CHEOPS principal investigator, ESA/University of Bern and Andrea Fortier, Cheops Instrument Scientist, ESA/University of Bern. ★ Subscribe: http://bit.ly/ESAsubscribe Learn more: bit.ly/ESACHEOPS
