- For the first time ever, we have been able to take a photograph of an exoplanet orbiting a different star. TYC 8998 760-1 is a star about 320 light years away. The European Southern Observatory (ESO) have managed to take a photo of the star with 2 planets. We can now see planets round a star that isn’t our sun. The image was taken by the Very Large Telescope situated in the Atacama desert in Northern Chile.

It's Amazing how far we're pushing earth based Telescopes. Can't wait for the Extremely Large Telescope to come online. I wonder if we'll be able to detect temperature variations on the surface of these planets. That would be the first surface image of an exoplanet.
As much as I love Hubble and the amazing work that it has done, the earth based telescopes do an amazing job, plus we are getting better at reducing the effects of the atmosphere. The ELT will be amazing!
@@LearningCurveScience Yes, it seems like at the end of the day you get more bang for the buck from Earth based telescopes than from the space based ones.
There is a JWST to fulfill your excitement before ELT.

I am really surprised I am just 177th subscriber... top channel!
Thank you (I'm probably not very good at self promotion). It's always good to find people that enjoy my videos. I try to release 2 videos per week. The Wednesday video is an instructional video for a course I teach here in the UK (A Level Biology). The Friday video is a more general science video (basically stuff that excites me). Welcome on board.
Keep doing what you doing mate. I'm not a brain box lol but I left school and found out I love learning haha... especially about space... notifications ON
I can imagine that creating such great video is even more interesting than watching it. You have to do some research, make accurately scaled models, etc. Keep on doing great job!
Thank you. For me there is no greater privilege than learning something new. Every video is a voyage of discovery for me, which I thoroughly enjoy. I'll keep doing my best.
You know the mass of planet/object TYC-8998-760-1b is likely 14 times that of jupiter but it doesn't emit glow and without a deuterium burning limit meaning it is more likely a Mega-Jupiter a new class of very massive gas giant that starting out as brown dwarfs which have runs out of deuterium fuel
TYC 8998 760-1b is not a brown dwarf. But it might be a synestia.
Have you not looked at the recent data on the out of Africa theory? It seems that it’s been disproven.

Hey bro what would happen to Jupiter if say gravity or some crazy aliens decided to shrink it... Use your imagination
