- Exciting new result from the Cool Worlds Lab! Several years ago we started an ambitious research program to survey the sample of transiting cool, giant planets for exomoons. Our search is the first of its kind and provides one particularly interesting result - a new exomoon candidate, Kepler-1708 b-i. Today we discuss how we found this object and what it means.

What a time we live in. A time where a normal person, like me, has the possibility to get such discoveries directly from the source
God, I love science, and the scientific method, you really did try hard to kill this candidate exomoon! Well done must feel amazing with all the time and hard work invested. Tipping my hat off to everyone involved. Lets see if we can remove the "candidate" tag and make it official!
Sadly, the voices of ignorance can be just as loud...
😃
Welcome to Cool Worlds
@@spacetime3
What you love is "pseudoscience" and one day you may come to realise that these charlatans have filled your head with complete junk.
Can't wait to see what you guys do with JWST!! Your videos are like listening to a planetary poem. So well done.
It’s going to be v exciting
wait til it sees a technosignature, people are going to go nuts
@@paulkirjonen1226 Umm, on Neptune-size moon orbiting Jupiter-size planet? Unlikely. If life existed there, it would need to be radically different from ours, and then how would we recognize it? Only if that "moon" turns out to be an alien megastructure, but for that we will have to wait for better telescopes capable of doing spectroscopy at those distances.
Congratulations for your new paper in Nature Astronomy. I've just read it and I'm getting hyped for the future of this :D
epic publication 👏 congrats
Do you have the link?
@@ZZ-vl5nd in the description
It takes real courage to actively work to disprove what you want to be true especially when it's an amazing discovery and a peer-reviewed publication is on the line. THIS IS SOME OF THE MOST LEGIT SCIENCE I HAVE SEEN IN A WHILE. Mad respect!
Victor Garcia
Well you can't "fool a fool"!
Doing anything less would be not doing honest science. Publishing hints and hunches is OK only in the sense of "guys, this is funny; will you look into it with us?" invitation.
I missed my calling of becoming a scientist. David, you make the viewer feel as though we are involved and part of the team. Thank you. Maybe this question was already asked... Will you be able to leverage the JWST in your research? All the best to you and your team!
Yes my current student is preparing such a proposal right now!
Was so proud to see so randomly find articles about this in science magazines and thinking even before open the article: "this must be Prof Kipping for sure".
I think one of the key concepts I have gathered from this channel is: As with all other science, you basically start with a thesis that has to have significant evidence (i.e. be proven) in order for it to be valid. Thank you for this channel. I think that there is a renewed interest in deep space exploration in the general society these days because of mind provoking and (well explained) channels like this.
Right we try to remain skeptical until evidence overrides that
Yeah, goods scientists will subject their own hypothesis to explain the data to utmost scrutiny trying to come up with any other plausible scenarios that could explain the data before submitting a manuscript to a journal with good standing. This has been done in spades here.
The journal then sends it for independent anonymous review by specialists in the field who carefully read the paper and check the data to see if its been done carefully and the hypothesis is supported by the data. Sometimes further analysis or even measurements are requested from the authors.
After they respond with a revised manuscript and the reviewers and editors are satisfied with the response it appears in the literature and is subject to further scrutiny by peers in the community.
Other scientists may try to make additional measurements (possibly with different methods) to confirm or cast doubt on the results and publish their own work. Only when a consensus builds in the literature will this new knowledge be accepted as a basis for our understanding.
I wish more people understood how hard science is and how much has happened by the time things enter the literature. I'm really thankful for this channel which demonstrates both the rigor and passion required for science to progress. Besides, its just a really exciting frontier to follow.
What are you talking about. Of course Exomoons exist; there are OVER 700,000,000,000,000,000,000 planets in the UNIVERSE, and I'd guess that the majority of stars the size of the sun have similar characteristics like Oort clouds, Kuiper belts, asteroid belts, planets, and suns. Like, that's now planet formation WORKS, there's nothing being discovered here, lmao.
@@jeffw8218 Similar to the search for distant galaxies or new exoplanets, we don't seek exomoons to prove that they exist, rather we seek them to understand the diversity and patterns that their population will reveal to us. If you want to understand how the Universe works, you have to first find the puzzle pieces.
@@CoolWorldsLab I disagree, for the reason that seeing further/clearer in space is a matter of technology. In 10-20 years, we’ll probably have telescopes (maybe even the JWST) that will be able to see exomoons with ease. So it’s kind of a waste of time to do it now 🤷♂️. Better off to wait for technology to catch up, or to actively work on creating better telescopes.
Finding exomoons with today’s technology is like trying to see micro-organisms with a magnifying glass + using computers and combing through data. Better off to create microscopes (which is what humanity did).
We are in an exciting time for astronomy and science in general. I never could have dreamed of how quickly things would be changing since high school.
Especially now with JWST!
Blain Rinehart
You are being lied to, but you do not have the good sense to know it...
@@redblade8160 Lied to about what exactly?
@@blainrinehart8865 He probably thinks NASA faked the Moon landing or something silly like that
It blows my mind that we can see so far now that "is it an exomoon or _just another_ exoplanet" is even a question.
Eve Again
What you are actually seeing is computer-generated graphics you fool; a lot of this scamming is going on now to fool the public in many areas...
@@redblade8160 Oh shut up and go away
Well redblades sort of right they don't actually view it they measure it
@@Hakor0 Everyone knows that
@@EvieDoesCZcams
Did I spoil your sci-fi adventure?
Your videos always make me feel hopeful. Your perseverance and dedication is truly inspirational. Thank you and your team for everything that you do.
Thanks Evod!
Evod Nomis
Be careful what you hope for, it will only lead to bitter disappointment, especially with these types of channels!
Its absolutely insane how humanity is able to confirm an exomoon by looking at a 5 x 4 pixel wide image. Absolutely insane
I just saw a news tweet about this on Reuters. It was so awesome to see Cool Worlds in the news like that! congrats :)
Hey Congratulations to you and your team Dr. Kipping! Keep up the great work and the killer scientific inquiry!
Just like "hot Jupiters," "Neptmoons," if they really do exist, are something that we just couldn't imagine being real. It just shows how much we dont know, and makes we wonder what weird things Webb will see
Maybe, one day we find two Jupiters orbiting each other. Improbable, maybe, but not obviously impossible...
@@burkhardstackelberg1203 Possible through a direct tidal capture mechanism in fact
there are hundreds and hundreds of videos on you tube that are a total waste of time and teach us nothing, but videos like this one teaches us and enhances our knowledge of our home known as the universe. thank you.
One of my favourite science shows on the net. Excellent content and brilliantly presented. 10/10.
This must be your best video ever. Truly inspiring, and a great mix of humanity and cold hard science. Kudos to you and the team, both for the Nature paper and for this excellent science communication.
You've been working out! Congrats for the new candidate. Patience is the key to success
I love that you are capable of poetry as well as science in your introductions.
It's immensely frustrating that we will not be able to visit these systems in our lifetimes.
So proud of you Professor Kipping and the Cool Worlds team!! When something survives the intense multifaceted scrutiny of the devil's advocate, accept it and thank your lucky stars. You will forever go down in Astronomy history. Perhaps, one day, thousands of year from now, when we have our first colony on an exomoom, they will look up at they sky and thank you.
Well done!
I absolutely adored your description of your methods of finding your candidate exomoons -- how you go through every *other* explanation you can think of first, before reaching your conclusion (and only tentatively at that!) It's just so refreshing, such a great way of illustrating the Scientific Method (and the complete opposite of the "method" a lot of less scrupulous people use with their "reasearch", where they'll grasp at any tiny straw that supports their "theory", while ignoring or even trying to suppress all that doesn't).
I really hope you have discovered the "hot jupiters" of Exomoons! Every time we think we know something about space (like gas giants never being close to their stars), the universe turns around and says "nah". It's so exciting!
There is no such thing I am waiting for more than a Cool Worlds vid ❤️
Dr. Kipping is definitely this generations Sir Patrick Moore, and cool worlds is our “The Sky at Night”. IYKYK
Kipping is not only a national treasure but defo a global one 💪🏽✊🏽
Congratulations Professor Kipping. Very exciting news!
Thanks for the inspiring music Brad, which is so synergistic with the soul of this video
@@CoolWorldsLab very honored to have my music play a small part in these videos and this one was extra special! Thank you!
To my personal opinion you have executed the right path to declare the found object as a candidate. With the data you currently have you were not able to declare the object as a false positive, no matter what you did to prove otherwise. That is science in optima forma; having a hypothesis and executing all efforts to prove you are wrong and not by accident get distracted by confirmation bias or that you want it to be true. For now this is the objective truth, until proven otherwise.
Hopefully JSWST will give your team better data with a big chance that it be confirmed as an exomoon. Well done and congratulations with the results so far!
Thanks Alex!!
Don't give up hope! Even though I'm sure it must be emotionally draining at times, remember that you're an inspiration to many and your efforts are valuable both to them and the scientific community. Keep calm, and keep hunting exomoons :)
Thanks so much Tristan! Loving your music, keep up the inspiring music your end too!
@@CoolWorldsLabany updates
My heart melts listening to your planetary poetry
Great video. It makes perfect sense that the anomalous moons would be the first to be discovered.
I'm just stunned and amazed from the display that you induce upon us, the passion that you display is genuine and real, and honestly it's refreshing. To also see your research coming to fruition is a beautiful thing to see. Congratulations to you and your team on these amazing discoveries. Love from Georgia
Congratulations for this extraordinary discovery.
Your work is really inspiring, your perseverance is exemplary.
Beautifully expressed, Szabolcs. By the same impression on me, Dr. Kipping's lab has altered the trajectory of my desires and goals.
Every video on this channel without fail is extremely high quality. Keep up the great work :)
this channel deserves more subs… extremely underrated. The information i get from here surpasses all academics i’ve learned in all my years of school. on top of that, who wouldn’t want to learn more about what goes on beyond (us). Absolutely insane channel here. I hope more people get to see this profound and ground breaking data. Much love to Cool Worlds❤️
I couldn't agree more.
I'm going to watch this video few hours later from now, just before sleep. These kinda videos are like a lullaby for me 😁
I’d say that the likelihood of this exo-moon candidate turning out to an erroneous conclusion, due to unforeseen factors, is roughly equivalent to the likelihood of the Cool Worlds channel delivering content that is anything short of brilliant! Fantastic work, as always! 😆❤️🌌
Can't wait for any big news in the future. So people might find this a so what endeavor but if no one progressed other people's theories then nothing would happen. Remember people we only live an average of 75 years and a lot of scientists never see the outcome of there work. Keep it up doc
I love everything you do and stand for. Exomoons is such an interesting and underrated topic. I mean can you imagine a sunset from a habitable exomoon? Probably one of the prettiest sights in the visible universe.
I dont know if Im more interested or soothed by your videos
Nice! Congratulations and looking forward to more...
Congratulations on this exciting discovery of almost certainly not just star spots! 😄
lol
I'm happy for you and am excited as well. Always a pleasure to see real science at work. I'm sure you keep us all in the loop.
I have literally become obsessed with watching this channel!!!! I admit that it's difficult for me to understand some of the content, but regardless of that, I still find everything fascinating!!!!!!!!!
I have difficulty sleeping and when I can't sleep, I watch your videos, then as soon as it's over, I can fall right back to sleep!!!!....so, I thank you very much for that!!
Hope this gets confirmed Dr. Kipping. Congrats on this new paper.
Gosh, what an exciting video! Thank You and your team for uploading such great and desired content. I enjoy them, their quality, their depth and your calm, yet exciting delivery. I hope that this find will stand all the tests and that your dream cones true.
Best wishes and a huge Thank You to you and your team from Frankfurt, Germany.
Can JWST image this system? It's practically in our backyard at 6000 ly. Very exciting, youre making world headlines Professor! Ok a brown dwarf with a mini Neptune ocean moon? All orbiting a beautiful stable star?
He’s my favorite. I could listen to him read stereo instructions
The best series on CZcams. Thank you 🙏 for making these
You work the same way I build houses. We sit and talk and shoot down each other's ideas until we have an idea that neither of us can shoot down. People think I'm negative, but I'm just looking for an undeniable solution. That's why our work is so well regarded. Love seeing the same attitude in science!... If you have to ask if it's good enough, the answer is probably NO...
Let me guess - the opening line is something like: "As a cool morning mist rises into the wild blue yonder of Earth's wispy atmosphere, we cry a collective hoorah at the awe inspiring discovery of what might be another exomoon - a dreamy satellite of a far away world so unimaginably different yet simultaneously so similar - and we shed a warm, salty tear at the sublime realization of how wonderous this brilliant universe truly is.
one thing it is the science and all about it. but the other one is: THE WAY YOU ARE DESCRIBING IT, THE PASSION - PRICELESS!
STRANGE COOL WORLDS... A new dawn is rising, Dr Kipping. This is an amazing moment in the history of space exploration, both in real life and fiction.
I've always been a fan of peoples' ressemblence and I've always believed that people resembling one another has some greater meaning.
In your case, I can spot an exciting and awesome resemblence to Star Trek's very own Christopher Pike and I truly hope his return to TV in "Strange New Worlds" will also trigger some new excitement and support for real-life space exploration. The first two Trek shows have been a great inspiration for many young scientists and now the original Enterprise returns to inspire a next generation of scientists.
With Pike on ficticious screens and you, Dr. Kipping, on the real-life CZcams front of cosmology, young people have two great leaders with an amazing presence and charisma to look up to. Ad Astris Scientia!
This was a masterclass in the scientific method, awesome!
Why this is so relaxing to watch or even listen
Amazing job: you truly deserved these results!
The number of times I wanted to utter, "that's no moon... that's a space station" is more than three!
Another great video, thank you!
Congrats to you and the team for keeping on it and pushing the boundaries of known astronomy. :)
I have massive respect for you and your research team. Never did I think someone would post a research paper with nearly every video, and the fact that you give deep insights into your methods and you arent afraid to explore such difficult questions astonishes me. Congradulations on the discovery, and I wish you luck in all of your future research.
What a great presentation. With one of your statements all I could think of was, maybe it wasn’t a Moon, it was a Space Station! 🤣🤣
carry on ... wonderful work
I can't be the only person that gets a chill down their spine when he says "untill next time, stay thoughtful, and stay curious".
Bam!
Great video, thank you for all of your hard work.
What an amazing channel. Dr. Kipping thank you for your extra time and effort to share all of this. That intro got to me...I understand the struggle, the pursuit of trying to prove yourself wrong until hopefully your ideas and efforts remains. I sincerely hope you stay around, for us...but also and primarily for the well being of the cool worlds lab research
Congratulations Cool World’s Lab. I can’t wait for Webb’s data. Even more so, I can’t wait for Vera Rubin. I wish I had gone into astronomy when I dreamed of doing so as a 7 year old. I wish I had been better at math.
I've never been super into the Kepler mission or exo-planet hunting in general but this got me hyped! This is pretty amazing stuff! Look forward to hearing more about this in the future! I really hope you get more observation time of this candidate. Thank you for your work and content Professor Kipping! It's always inspiring and awesome!
Dr.Kipping you're amazing...
No words to describe how happy I am for you 💯🙏
Congrats 🍾🎉🎈
Really love the channel!
Your emphasis on removing all doubts is inspiring and shows how much you crave the truth.
Your explanation reminded me of the Apollo 15 mission and how after the first EVA when the guys reported their boots were wet Mission Control assumed a leak of the cooling loop for the LM computer. When they reported they had wet boots after the 2nd EVA Deke got on the Med channel and ripped CDR Scott a new one for talking on an open loop about wet boots! Again everyone in the Science community “knew” the Moon was a dust ball. Ahem
When the mission ended the soil samples were found to be wet an marked Crew Contamination and not studied further. Well when we found out the Moon really does have water NASA went back and took another look at the samples from Apollo 15 and realized they were not contaminated by the crew.
I’m sure you have found an Exomoon and it won’t be the last!! Good hunting!!
Congratulations to you and your team on the progress! Some amazing work
When the world needed him the most he returned.
Your videos are super amazing. Thank you for the work you do!
Congatulations David. This is a very important discovery. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us in your videos.
It's so cool to see how the scientific method is used in astronomy! I personally don't exactly understand what everything means, but my goodness it's so interesting!
I really appreciate your work and your way to present this topics to a broad audience. Thank you very much!
13:42 > Truly understanding what you are looking at is another level > A couple of years ago I would only have been able to hear the words, but I wouldn't have been able to even remotely grasp the meaning of such a statement. However, the bit I am still struggling with is "to accept it for what it is". And because of that I am truly thankful for people like you, who not just communicate fascinating discoveries, but who also communicate the years of effort it took to get to that point. Thank you!
- From somewhere in between Mathematics and Computer Science.
Congratulations to you and your team. I was interesting to read articles about this discovery here in the middle of Europe while watching your videos :) This channel has awesome quality, thank you and your team for the hard work :)
FANTASTIC. It takes the best of people to take on this challenge, you are it my friend!
Thank you so much for make all this understandable to us !!
This is great news. Will JWST be of any use in following up on the candidate Moon?
Congratulations on the discovery Prof, exciting news ... and once again a great video.
You are a huge asset for humanity... I really enjoy following your work
Wonderful video, i really enjoyed watching. I was wondering if dust rings(like jupiter has) could explain this data? Maybe under a certain angle and with a sufficient size and opacity it could block as much light as a moon. The brightness would also show a dip just before transit, like in the first transit. The second transit is different tough, and seems to only show a dip when exiting, does this exclude a dust ring? how to see the difference? Just curious.
Can you make a video of what Webb will be researching for exoplanets and what are its possibilities in this regard ????
Good job guys, love your work and content! Keep it up. 😊
Persistent is the key to success... Congratulations... To you and your team.. I also saw references made to your discovery on another channel... And the cool thing about all of this is that there are still many many more exomoons out there just waiting to be discovered... Very exciting... Congratulations again...
love you and your channel
you don't need those weird 2021 surprised youtuber thumbnail pictures. Just keep being yourself 😙
Congratulations.. I am so happy for you and your team on your hard work..
I love listening to you. You are captivating and informative. Much appreciated.
Been pumping the iron I see
Your confusing me with a super giant
(😆)
Great video! Exhausting every possible means to disprove your own findings demonstrate your dedication and integrity. Looking forward to seeing what discoveries you and your team make with data from the JWST.
Your dedication is out of this world! Keep finding cool things! ♥️
Congratulations on the findings - great video
Thank you all so much for your (hard) work.
Your methods and findings makes you THE guideline and healthy scepticism for me to somewhat weigh my quest for answers , and foremost if possible , not A but THE truth of things.
I'm someone who likes to plan out and wish to write stories in many different worlds. One of them takes place on a habitable super-earth moon orbiting a jupiter-like planet. It's actually your video on Kepler 1625b I that has inspired by me for this. Since then, I have been hoping for true confirmation of such objects to exist. I mean, except Mercury and Venus and many of the tiny asteroids and other small objects, a lot of celestial bodies in our solar system have moons, from Earth to Neptune, several dwarf planets like Pluto, Eris and Haumea, even some asteroids and TNOs. They have to exist out there as well.
I honestly can't wait for when the James Webb Space Telescope finally starts its mission. It's gonna open up so many doors, give us even more insight on our discoveries. Looking forward to the day when y'all can finally confirm that Kepler 1625b I, and Kepler 1708b I, are real objects, orbiting around their parent planet in a planetary dance, akin to the cosmic ballet of our own planets.
Congratulations to you and your team another great video. Thank you for advancing the knowledge of our species.
WoW! Congrats Prof Kipping! Astonishing!!
I want to investigate with him. I studied the habitability of a hypotetical exomoon around Kepler 1647 b and I admire his job. Thank you for your job David
Your videos are so inspiring, a combination of science and art. Just amazing, keep it up!
I thought you were just a fringe science talking person like those vsauce people.
Dude actually put in the work and found it himself. What a mad lad.
Great body transformation too!
Congratulations to you Professor and to your entire team!
Congrats!!!! great video!!
Awesome and inspirational video. Wonder if dips during transit can also occur if a planet has massive rings. This can be even harder pursuit to undertake :)
Ahhh! I had to stop working just to see this. You never disappoint Dr. Kipping. I'm rooting for you and your first ever exomoon confirmation!
