  • When you look up into the sky on a nice and clear night, looking at around 2,000 stars in our galactic neighbourhood, you're not really seeing the full picture. While you do see thousands of stars on a good clear night, there are actually planets orbiting those stars, which are invisible to us.
    Learn how we use the transit method, radial velocity method and gravitational lensing to find exoplanets!

    This is a video I shot quite a few months ago and has been sitting unlisted for a while now but I thought it might be a topic you're interested in. Enjoy and sorry about the poor lighting!

    I really like your form of videos. Even though there's asap and minutephysics out there, these seem a bit more interesting and it's always nice having more science videos on youtube.

      Serj I like this channel, even if it is small the current range of videos are neat.

    Are you from New Zealand? If not, your accent sounds VERY similar.

    Would it actually really be possible to make our way to another planet outside of the solar system?

    • @sciBRIGHT

      With current technology it would take thousands of years to get anywhere. We need to be travelling at much faster speeds to make it to these other planets. Sadly this probably isn't going to happen anytime soon, depends on how quickly our technology can evolve.

      ***** i think it would be awesome to make it to these other planets. who knows what's on them!?

      ***** where is voyager one? is it close to any other stars?

    • @sciBRIGHT

      Sabian Voyager 1 is currently around 127.63 AU away from us on Earth right now. The nearest star is 276,357 AU away! Every year Voyager 1 travels 3.5AU away from us, which means it's going to take a very long time for it to get anywhere close to the nearest star!

    Don't you reckon it's pointless studying all these exoplanets if we can't reach them?

    • @battlefield3tv415
      @battlefield3tv415 9 років тому

      Battlefield3TV seems just to me to be a waste of money!

    • @iamagoat3922
      @iamagoat3922 9 років тому

      Battlefield3TV we might be able to reach them soon

    • @iamagoat3922

      Battlefield3TV it might not be too far off
