I'm looking for something like a periodic/parametric table of planet characteristics. It might be useful to 'map' the thousands of planets we have found, so we might see where (in the table) we have not been looking (only the most obvious is 'earth-like').
sewer mutants. attacks from an evil Santa. repeated Invasions by Omicron Persei 8. You may think Futurama a dream, but to me - it is a nightmare. I thank god everyday that I wake up and discover I survived another 24 hours without being accidentally cryogenically frozen for 1000 years - the fear that haunts me 24/7. it defines my existence
I wish could see the real images instead of cgi or artists rendition it make me think they are hiding soemthing I should bought a telescope when i had chance
Do this telescope take photos of these planets? How do they know what they look like just by what they see now I believe we are not alone hope they find what there looking for other life but if they do they might not like what they find
We don't even know how Pluto looks like, we only have blurry images and we need probe (New Horizon) to get first high quality images of Pluto. In fact we don't know how a lot closer Ceres look like and we got probe coming there too. Thats how weak our telescopes are, so we never gonna see exo-planet until we get there atleast with the probe.... somehow :p
What alien would ever appear before this species. It would probably never see the light of day again after being dissected alive to gain knowledge of this alien life form. Pretty much the same they would do to us in a similar horrendous way...
What do they mean life as we know it? Hasn't it been relatively recently discovered that life can be nitrogen based too? Who knows what other elements can be the building blocks of life..
By "life as we know it" they mean life existing within the properties of what we KNOW (have observed and confirmed) to be life. In this case, that is currently carbon-based, requiring substantial quantities of water, and within a distinct temperature range (the star's habitable zone being the temperature range at which water could exist as a liquid on the planet's surface).
This is cool, being able to look up at 305 stars to infer 715 planets, but to look down to find parts of a 777-200, seems almost impossible. Both of these things, the aliens might have the technology to see. Always loved Astronomy and Aviation, NASA style.
The problem with a lot of these planets being so large, is that their core may be under so much pressure, that there is no liquid, and therefore no magnetic field...
***** I'm sure you probably know this, but... Jupiter is a Gas Giant, as you have mentioned, and, as such, it is nothing like our own planet or others of a similar assortment -- as our desired planet would be... Jupiter does have a magnetic field, far stronger than ours, but not for the same reason that we, or another planet of our same, would have one. There are plenty of shows on Science networks on the Tele that will [or at the least should] explain this and similar things if you already do not know of them, or would wish to expand upon what you already do know.
Definitely no pictures... you still can't get a clear picture of pluto, no way they can get pictures of planets billions of light years away. Raimo is correct, when they use computer simulation, it's just for averages, and in the video it will say so.
If you do the math, the mission cost about $.31 (that is 31 cents) per American citizen per year for the mission. Think we got our money's worth. Not really sure that 31 cents would stave off poverty.
***** And for the record, scientific discovery is a major catalyst for wealth creation which is why we eat 3 meals-a-day, live in a well sheltered homes and get to put silly opinions on hi-tech devices. Thank you science!
Playa Sanag Well given the fact that with our fastest ship it would take 60,000 years or so just to the nearest star...much less the nearest habitable planet...think it's safe to say the plan is NOT to rape another.
I think more time should have been spent elaborating on the multiplicity procedure rather than spending 25 seconds to needlessly compare planetary systems to completely irrelevant lion/lioness/prides (oh my)... unless planets have started hunting in packs, which is an entirely new world of problems (see what I did there...) Otherwise, thank you, I think it's money well spent and laud your accomplishments, keep up the good work!
Ismail mohamad one day I will die and turn into compost , then the sun will devour our planet and will emit matter from its explosion that will contribute to the manufacture of other stellar bodies until in a very very long time all heat will become entropy and the universe will be nothing, where's god then?
eismcsquared Where He has always been? This doesn't disprove His existence at all. All this does is to show that if He does exist, then He has made a very large, beautiful and diverse universe.
As an atheist, I must agree with John and Ismail. This proves absolutely nothing either way about the existence of any gods whatsoever and it is silly and childish to claim otherwise simply to get some attention.
A Phillips Its not silly or childish to stimulate debate and UA-cam offers this chance with the comments section. It is a shame that you appear only to be capable of a derogatory response. Unlike John and Ismail!
I think exoplanet discovery is one of the most exciting things happening today.
Wow thats amazing 715:305 = 2.2 planets per star!! Thats wicked

I hope I'm alive when we start colonising other planets and become like Futurama, all friends n all

tepitw 24/7 is that?
Wonder how much we will find after a new batch of telescopes come out in the 2020's
amazing
I don't mean to impose, but could you hurry up and discover the planet of the Asari? :3
We can only hope!
I prefer Noveria.Imagine how winter olympics will be played there :D
Yeah, instead of using sleds, they'd be using ice cubes with the contestants incrusted inside them xD
I wish could see the real images instead of cgi or artists rendition it make me think they are hiding soemthing I should bought a telescope when i had chance
Good job
Quelle belle nouvelle ! Merci !
OUIN UNE BONNE NOUVELLE ..
Do this telescope take photos of these planets? How do they know what they look like just by what they see now I believe we are not alone hope they find what there looking for other life but if they do they might not like what they find
they don't know what they look like, but they can judge the size based on the amount of dimming when the planet passes in front of the star.
We don't even know how Pluto looks like, we only have blurry images and we need probe (New Horizon) to get first high quality images of Pluto. In fact we don't know how a lot closer Ceres look like and we got probe coming there too.

Shadowriver WE WILL HAVE PICTURES OF PLUTO IN JULY OF 2015
ipukeatparties I mentioned New Horizons :p
too blurry, if visible at all
Just to think i could work for NASA one day(after my GCSE)
All satellites from BASA and ESA are working so good in the SKY! We got so interesting and unbelieving info from them! I can say only:GO ON!
What alien would ever appear before this species. It would probably never see the light of day again after being dissected alive to gain knowledge of this alien life form. Pretty much the same they would do to us in a similar horrendous way...
There are more moons in the universe than stars or planets

Phenomenal science reporting! Well done, NASA.

The Cosmos takes the place of Religion for me.
That is cool!!!
I bet there are a lot of planets out there.
We're definitely not alone....
I still don't understand how they went from there might be multiple planets to there a specific planets in specific orbital regions.
My guess is that judging by the star's intensity, and to rotation period of the planet they can estimate the distance from the star.
Thanks to NASA we can come to understand our spheres !!!!
The truth is out there.
I saw this on T.V.

nice ..
The problem with a lot of these planets being so large, is that their core may be under so much pressure, that there is no liquid, and therefore no magnetic field...
But if you look at gas giant`s like jupiter or saturn you see very strong magnetic fields.
***** I'm sure you probably know this, but... Jupiter is a Gas Giant, as you have mentioned, and, as such, it is nothing like our own planet or others of a similar assortment -- as our desired planet would be...

at least we are going to know were come from those UFOs ;)
So awesome … the future is ours … thank you … !
We introduce: "The Periodic Table of Stars"
Those zoomed-out colorful animations with different orbits, shells,... beautiful.
beautiful
SpaceEngine @ 2:58 ?
is this computer theory only? , but no definitive pictures or captures of the actual planets from satellites or such?
No theory, the transits of the planets have been observed.
Definitely no pictures... you still can't get a clear picture of pluto, no way they can get pictures of planets billions of light years away. Raimo is correct, when they use computer simulation, it's just for averages, and in the video it will say so.
Any Class M planets found?
Iris Guevara
No way to get to them.

Still not convinced that spending tax money on this is better than spending it to help reduce poverty.
If you do the math, the mission cost about $.31 (that is 31 cents) per American citizen per year for the mission. Think we got our money's worth. Not really sure that 31 cents would stave off poverty.

All the money that goes into this doesn't go to war, so it actually is helping to reduce poverty.
Playa Sanag Well given the fact that with our fastest ship it would take 60,000 years or so just to the nearest star...much less the nearest habitable planet...think it's safe to say the plan is NOT to rape another.
money spended for science is NEVER a wasted money... perhaps you prefer to live as we was 50.000 years ago...
The biggest collection of the planets we can never reach whats the point anything over a lightyears distance is impossible.
I think more time should have been spent elaborating on the multiplicity procedure rather than spending 25 seconds to needlessly compare planetary systems to completely irrelevant lion/lioness/prides (oh my)... unless planets have started hunting in packs, which is an entirely new world of problems (see what I did there...) Otherwise, thank you, I think it's money well spent and laud your accomplishments, keep up the good work!
more proof there are no gods!
how?
