The astronomy trick you can use to discover new worlds
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2021
- Astronomers are searching for strange new worlds called brown dwarfs, and are turning to citizen scientists to do it. Check out the online tool that’s helped discover 1,500 new worlds, and try it out for yourself. You may even find the “Bigfoot” of our solar system: the mysterious Planet 9.

You can help discover new planets here: www.zooniverse.org/projects/marckuchner/backyard-worlds-planet-9 . Try it out and let us know!
pin it!!!!!!!
Is this the next reCAPTCHA? “Find the brown dwarf to continue to the website”
"See, mom, I'm not a -failed- -star- , I'm an _overexcited_ _planet_ "
Verge Science: talks about space
Me who likes Star Wars: This is where the fun begins
Why didn't I know about this!!
I love Verge Science.
This video put a smile on my face.
Discover 5 new worlds this week with this weird home-made trick!
Astronomers hate him
Verge Science: *Talks about space*
Some guy: *Has multiple girlfriends*

Lmfao
Haha that's me, yeah I have 7
@@belguitou what a stud, 7.
@@belguitou yeah yeah i had 31 O_O
@@belguitou amature, I have 10000000000000, talk to me when you have more mortal
These type of episodes feel like netflix originals, love them!!
sounds like we could partially automate this using visual flow detection and some machine learning...
If only they mentioned that...
@@dykam sure, at the end of the video. But I very much doubt that a skilled machine learning specialist couldn't at least help humans out in that webinterface. Honestly, the use of volunteers here seems about as braindead as using humans to 'automatically' solve captchas.
I guess that's how teenage children get to discover new worlds and make headlines on the web!
"spitting distance" = 4-6 light years
Alternative title: "Astral projection"
This is incredibly intriguing. Seriously interesting study of strange objects.
Wish Verge didn't stop these videos.
For anyone that’s out there looking for dwarf planets on that platform, try classic invert, it makes it easier to spot them outside the noise
Awesome searching planets
Cool !
Wow pretty weird to think that there might be a ninth planet!
cant believe channel with 1 mil subs get only 200 views and 10 comments
yeah something is weird here lol
Its verge That's probably why
To find other stars we should look where they are expected to be not randomly. The closest to us will be in nearby berkeland current line.
Oh Jackie
Reminds me of cyberpunk 2077
V's best friend early in the game (especially if V is a corpo)
Umami should create that colored static for the last episode of Interface.
Seems like a great job for an algorithm.
@@markshiman5690 I will join you in agreeing with apostate001 lol
Suggestion: I think AI (or we humans also) could detect changes faster if images pixels were translated in numbers, so we can detect an anomaly in streaks of numbers. If we find one we can look up at the images to cross verify it.
Cory cut his hair. I like it
They should name those objects based on the people who found them .. that'll be really great motivation for millions of people haha
Now if they made this into a game and give scores and levels .. and release it to the public on android and apple store .. that would open the flood gates ...
Hey we might be coming to an end of being able to help personally, BUT can we offer our hardware for help? I would gladly give the astronomers my computers help whilst I am not using it.
To verge
GODOLD.GOLD
maybe the real Planet 9 was the friends we made along the way
In Star Wars, this trick is called "astrogation"
Isn’t this how Clyde Tombaugh discovered pluto.
Oye ¿Sería posible que subtitulen en español? Gracias
BCN
LOL. Interesting timing on this video. A study came out just today that basically rules out a Planet 9.
damn ive never been so early before
Still waiting for JWST to launch
haah ! doing Alt+Tab
A trick? This isn't a trick, this is science...
This kind of job of staring million of images and looking for patterns should be handled by an AI..
Me: visit the zooniverse website
The website: *Under Maintenance*
Bad timing! The site is up and running again.
I participated in this project years ago, on zooniverse. I dont rememer if I marked anything interesting.
Wake up, Verge Science
We have new worlds to discover
Astral projection
6 1/2 light years away is spitting distance? Wtf
I mean, the universe is infinite...so, relatively? Yes
Heck its even less than spitting distance in the grand size of the universe.
i mean, it is but it also isnt
This is just as my sci-fi animated show predicted, that soon the alien who is visiting earth in secret is a being who lives close to earth but will be discovered by earth soon.
Demeaning to the brown dwarf? Lol, since when stars get their feelings hurt? That's preposterous!
Why aren't they using AI and machine learning to automate this? They could process everything in a fraction of the time it would take otherwise.
They are
4:00 Has she not heard of machine learning?
It's a failed star goddammit nobody's feelings are getting hurt
This TERM IS UNSCIENTIFIC THAT IS THE SOLE REASON!
Firstly
I am not first
I’m confused. For decades, I have read that stellar objects are so common that they can be compared to grains of sand on a beach. Why should I be at all impressed that someone found yet another grain of sand*, especially one that is easily categorized with already-known sand grains?
*”we found another brown dwarf;” “we found another moon;” “we found another black hole;” “we found another supernova;” etc
For starters, there’s the brief list in the video of totally new phenomena that were discovered this way. Plus, it’s always good to have more examples to study from, that’s how we refine countless astronomical evolutionary models. And, some of these results suggest that the galaxy may be denser than we previously believed, which can have all sorts of other cosmological consequences.
Your comment assumes we already basically know everything in astronomy and it’s mere cataloging at this point. Which couldn’t be further from the truth. For instance, exoplanets. We’d expected almost all stars to have their own planets, but we didn’t know how common our kind of solar system was. Now we know about hundreds of exoplanets and many other star systems have some pretty wild configurations.
Getting better sensitivity on our instruments is always useful, even when it’s not immediately apparent. A large proportion of discoveries in science are incidental or accidental, very few are set out deliberately knowing what they intended to accomplish.
Because on the cosmic scale, this is like finding a new house at the end of your street. Like she said, the list of the 5 closest celestial bodies hasn't been updated in centuries, so to find something new, this close to home, is really surprising.
@@kaitlyn__L But such discoveries happened a very long time ago. This seems interesting as a matter of science history, but not at all as a matter of science being practiced today. No?
