Exoplanets and the Search for Habitable Worlds

I love science fiction. My favorite is an old 1950's radio show called X-Minus One. One of the stories is called "Universe" which tells the story of a huge craft holding an entire civilization. They have been traveling in space for decades upon decades with no end in view😢

Glad you enjoyed the lecture! Check out Jessi Christiansen's recent talk on exoplanets: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0JbrLnzwDD0.html

@@LindaHallLibrary thanks so much! Will do 😁

Inspiration for future generations to overcome current limits?

Iiio

I agree, the nearest star is 25 trillion miles away, and humans have never been further from the earth than the moon... and we are searching for habitable planets? The point is probably that it's a sales pitch to keep the gullible public gung-ho about spending billions on the next bigger telescope. The strangest part is, even with our advances in technology, and ever improved space telescopes... even the JWST cannot determine whether any exoplanet is actually habitable. Period. It's not even close to having that capability.

It's a step closer.

All of this is proof

Depends, habitable for whom?

@@esnevip also a fair point

There is no proof that Earth is a globe, a planet and that it is suspended in outer space. Zero.

@@kordelas2514 please be satire..

@@esnevip It is not. I just shared the truth.

😅

We do not know what local visual effects in the sky known as stars and the sun really are and how they occur.
