Cuz it seem to me like the only exoplanets we ever hear about are gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn that couldn't possibly support carbon-based life. Professor: OK. Well, let's talk about that. First, as for discovering life.
To truly fathom where life beyond Earth may exist, we also need to understand the prevalent planetary conditions within our solar system, as well as in an ever-increasing list of known exoplanets. The middle chapters of the book dig into the specific astronomical conditions that led to the dev...
Brogi published in the June 28, 2012 issue of "Nature" on the use of high-resolution spectroscopy to capture light from the exoplanet Tau Boötis b, a technique which can potentially be used to study atmospheres on other non-transiting exoplanets. 年份: 2012 ...
Scientists 'dust for fingerprints' around a young star as it births exoplanets Euclid 'dark universe' telescope discovers stunning Einstein ring in warped space-time (image) Students' contest-winning pen, paint and poetry works shown aboard International Space Station Live-action 'Gundam' movie ente...
FEMALE STUDENT: So, uh—exactly why are we interested in these exoplanets, anyway?Is it to see if there's life on them? 'Cause it seems to me like the only exoplanets we ever hear about are gas giants, like Jupiter and Saturn, that couldn’t possibly support carbon-based life…. ...
Initially, we will have to concentrate on the nearer systems, because of their higher brightness. Right at the beginning we will have to determine whether life exists on exoplanets at all. And at the beginning we will be restricted to the most prominent cases because of the week signal and ...
How do you think the formation of Earth was similar to that of other planets in the solar system, and how may have it been different? What methods have successfully been used to detect exoplanets? Explain in detail how is a photoreceptor an interesting element of the visual system? How is...
Russell Deitrick models the habitability of exoplanets based on their Milankovitch cycles. He believes that being in the so-called habitable zone, a region around the central star where liquid water can exist, is not enough for an Earth-like planet to host life. However, how exactly Milankovitch...
The quantitative investigations have revealed the presence of Benford's distribution in various physical properties of these exoplanets. Further, some specific comments have been made on the possible generalizations of the obtained results, its potential applications in analysing the data-set of candidate...
What methods have successfully been used to detect exoplanets? 1. Describe how a star forms and the different stages of a star's life. 2. Describe the different fates of the different types of stars. 3. What forces are opp...
