👩🏽💻 I'm Dr. Becky Smethurst, an astrophysicist at the University of Oxford (Christ Church). I love making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm. I like to focus on how we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still don't know. If you've ever wondered about something in space and couldn't find an answer online - you can ask me! My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars.

It's been 30yrs since I worked as a 'proper' physicist, but hearing this enthusiasm and the stories about PhD grads led studies just had me grinning the entire time listening to this.
I haven’t been away from the scientific field as long as you have, but watching their excitement reminded me of the good ol’ days. It made me envious and I wish I could go back to those days.
Ditto albeit with these changes: 'proper' chemist, and make that 50 years.
I'm only an enthusiast (definitely not a scientist) makes Becky that much more credible for me. Thanks. Already liked her style of presentation.
I love Dr. Jake Taylor's enthusiasm in this field of science.
I couldn't agree more!
Except it's a negative when it's so naive. Think chinese hype minister.
💻
Seriously. His excitement when he realized that he'll get to talk to her again in the future about TRAPPIST sold me on him. I wanna go to the pub with him and listen to him geek out more.
I’m a semi old type of human being (61) and I remember when Doctoral Supervisors would snatch up those Nobel Prizes. Having just started University as a mature age student, it is refreshing to know that young people are at the forefront and are acknowledged as such. I really enjoyed that interview. Excellent. (I meant every word and hope the algorithm does too).
They made me want to start a PhD in exoplanets, and I'm closing in on 50 and have no background in exoplanets at all!
Hey Dr Becky, this is for you and Dr Jake.
How does an astrophysicist organise a party?
They planet!
Not on the moon obviously...
No atmosphere.
You're a wonderful science communicator. Much loves
Thank you for this interview with Jake. It is truly thrilling to see two brilliant young minds celebrating this new window to the universe that JWST is. 👍
Dr. Taylor's enthusiasm is just wonderful! He reminds me of just how exciting science can be.
I love those chats and collaborations, learning so much including on how those teams work and the impact of those discoveries! 😊
Thanks Jack and Becky for sharing the whole chat unedited for us to enjoy!
Thank you for inspiring people to peruse physics ❤
It's great to watch 2 so scientists chat about their work, so full of enthusiasm! And in terms that even I can understand. Thank you Dr. Becky and thank you Dr. Taylor for your work and your time in science communication. Which I think is so important, that the results of your work are made public.
great interview! Jake seems like such a brilliant and lovely person, Kudos to them and their team!
Love your work m8. You make learning really interesting and fun.
Thx guys… amped for Trappist - if two or three are similar or same… wonder what the process of photosynthesis will be like there - atmospheric combinations/light filtration could make for some wild color combinations, in terms of plants/atmosphere/clouds etc. It’s almost time. ✨😊✨
Hi Dr. Becky: you always have some of the best content on the tube. Keep up the always informative and educational content. 😎😄
These are some of my favorite videos. I love the excitement and energy Jake has! Science is super cool.
I was lucky enough to work the JWST broadcasts and it was a dream like experience. Surreal to hear people talking about it outside of the studio experience I had. 😂 We were freaking out with joy too.
I love the enthusiasm and encouragement of young researchers :)
What an exciting time to be an astrophysicist. Or just an ordinary space fan who gets to see some of the science results here on CZcams, thaks to all those hard-working proper scientists and great communicators. Looking forward to many more discoveries being shared online.
Dr. Becky, I love your channel, I learn so much, thanks for this great interview and thanks for all of the videos that you keep putting out. It's such an exciting time for astronomy and it REALLY helps to have someone like you break things down for us laypeople. I'm a very happy subscriber.
Stuff like this makes me excited to learn more astrophysics
When I see Dr. Becky and her colleague's enthusiasm, I almost regret I did not study astrophysic. It is amazing to see people so exited about their work. I am so thankful that you are sharing this with us. And I am looking forward more JWST discoveries!
Thank you for this interview.
When Becky recites JWST, I keep mistaking what she is saying. Now I figured out what I thought I heard: Jade-U-S-T
First, seeing Jake enthuse over his work and his opportunities was wonderful! Second, your interview technique was masterful, with beautifully selected questions, fantastic segues between them (also nimbly following-up on Jake's comments), and a truly amazing wrap-up.
Spectacularly well done. Thanks so much!
I was surprised that finding photosemistry in other planets makes scientist so exited. It it is common with Sun light, how are others stars different? There are billions of billions of them, many has to cause photochemistry in their planets' atmospheres. But after this interview I understand that the recored data can say so much about the composition of the explanet's atmosphere and possibly also their way of formation of the planet and that is really exiting. It opens door into new worlds.
I am eagerly waiting for your video when the spectroscopic analysis of the planets in the habitable zones of systems get published.
Kepler is nearer than the wasp system, so it would be interesting to see what gets detected there.
Hope that happens soon.
It's so exciting to hear/see two Doctors talking so happily about something that I'm so interested in, even if some things may go slightly over my head (depending if I'm stopping and reading the data lmfao)
It's honestly enjoyable to just have something to look up and theorize about, and these videos are so very interesting and give inspiration for young people I'd imagine.
These videos are definitely giving inspiration to younger people. My teen and tween family members are huge fans of this channel, and the JWST discoveries overall.
Their classes have also been making cardboard models of the JWST.
@@cjwrench07 that would absolutely be epic! Very cool.
Dr Jake describing ‘we’re studying Trappist!’ Is a whole mood 😂
Incredible that we can analyse exoplanets atmosphere and learn so much about worlds so different to those in our own solar system.....plus Dr Becky plays the Ukulele!

"There's more I wanna say, but I can't say it just yet".
Please make another video once he's allowed to reveal more! :D
yes!!!!!!!!!
Really cool interview. It's mind-boggling to me that we can know anything at all about a planet's atmosphere hundreds of light-years away, much less the complexity being seen now. What an exciting time for astronomy!

Love this story. Love hearing about the initial excitement, everyone jumping in on slack unable to contain themselves. Fun.
Love the ukes Becky!
I just love watching and learning from you ,. I will buy something as soon as I can afford to help your channel
The current climate of exoplanet research only makes me want to learn to do exoplanet simulations more than I already did want, not really sure where to start though

Finally got my Reflections hoodie delivered and black friday socks.
Looks amazing in the flesh, fits like a glove
Highly recommend grabbing one before Christmas.
Turns out the post office was forced to drive packages around & around waiting for a sorting station to free up space to deal with them.
Hence delivered to edinburgh then kinross then back down to england then back to edinburgh then finally to Fife.
Nice Information Dr. 👍🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Thank you Dr, Jake Taylor! That was amazing... looking forward to the new information that is going to be getting released! And, I'm afraid I have to agree with Dr. Becky... black holes do rule!
I prefer galaxies. That's my love.
I love seeing excited scientists!
The N band spectrum from 8-12μm is my favorite. Because that's what uncooled microbolometers are sensitive too.
Sadly JWST can't be compared to ground based observations at all. And we most likely won't get a catalog of bright source for me to try and image.
Have you done a video on the papers about planets orbiting black holes? If not can you do a video on that?
Wow. I would also appreciate such topic. That sounds awesom.
So cool
good stuff
I think it is absolutely mind blowing that JWST is looking at stuff that we need a microscope to see here on Earth.
Yes, it's about the light frequencies (parts of the spectrum) that get absorbed, get blocked by these different chemical compounds.
You have the star - and a planet that luckily for us crosses before that star on each orbit around that star.
The people can analyze the unobstructed starlight and compare it to the starlight that gets detected as the planet is in front of the star (the star gets dimmer a tiny bit from our vantage point as a planet of that star gets between that star and us. Not all planetary systems are aligned that way, that we can observe that, but some are).
The frequencies of the star spectrum that don't get through the planet's atmosphere, these frequencies get blocked by the chemical compunds in that atmosphere of that planet.
Yes, it's mind blowing that such accuracy is possible. Luckily it's not pure telescope resolution down to the microscopic level on that exoplanet that is needed, it's a little bit easier, but still an accomplishment.
Professor Becky, can the phenomenon of photochemical reaction occur in the atmosphere of the planets of our solar system such as Jupiter or Saturn?🤔🤔
I would also want to know.
A very interesting interview. May I ask though, why wasn’t it a face to face interview if your are both at the same university?
Maybe the answer is: the usual crappy weather in the UK ? 🙂 Or just used to recording remote conversations, no need to make a new setup which has it's own risks.
@@autohmae Ah yes, watch out for those "risks". Last time the government pushed psy-ops to these levels was the late 1930s
@@tinfoilhomer909 what words would you have used for not doing what she usually does and thus have the chance it not going as planned ?
@@autohmae Good point, she could have forgotten to keep her JAB PAPER PLEASE up to date and he could have got her in trouble for bloodcrimes, or vice versa. I honestly can't tell who would be the snitch in this situation. All I know is that science is absolutely compromised by the modern "lockdown" cultural wave.
@@tinfoilhomer909 If you think a worldwide pandemic, with millions of points of corroborating evidence, is just psy ops. You really must have bought into and believed in McCarthyism and the rest of the Cold War’s propaganda machine.
Especially, when Nixon pushed the brand new “War on Drugs” to demonize, incarcerate, and disenfranchise his Right-Wing’s political enemies (Hippies & POC) domestically. His was the real start of the modern foray into Dog Whistle politicking to the European-American majority. Actions that just so happen to coincide with the aftermath of the highly opposed US Civil Rights Act.
Just look at Nixon’s disgraced “Drug Czar” John Ehrlichman’s actions, before his fall due to Watergate, and his influence on the later policies and politics of people like Ronald & Nancy Reagan. If there was a visible vulnerable minority, they would exploit fear of them for easy political gain.
Question to natives, what is Jake's accent ? In which part of England it is used ?
He as an accent that's close to RP, so he doesn't sound like he's from any one particular part of England.
Sounds bbc
I have what is probably a silly question so please be kind. We know, due to redshift, when light is travelling away from Earth. I assume that process also includes light that has already reached Earth and passed us by. So how do we know that the objects we observe in a particular part of the universe are actually in that specific location, and we are not observing the (for want of a better description) "tail end" of that light? Is there a gradient we can measure to ascertain that?
We only see snapshots of the Universe as they were when the light left those objects, millions or perhaps billions of years ago. Many of the objects farthest away will no longer exist today, not just in the observed position, but at all. The supernova we saw in 1987 was from an star that exploded 186,000 years ago, for example.
But astronomers don't think that way when observing the Universe. Since we can only see the Universe as it looks to us, now, when they observe say, the star system TRAPPIST-1, which is 39 light years away, they don't think "this is what the star system looked like 39 years old" they say "this is what the star system looks like to us, now."
So, while astronomers know that all the distant stars and galaxies they see have moved or even blown up or faded in the time it look their light to reach us, they don't worry about that. It's how they look to us now that matters. We're still getting accurate photos of what the Universe looks like.
@@EnglishMike Thanks for taking the time to reply m8, I appreciate it. I'm aware that what we see today is basically a window to the past and it is not representative of what actually still exists today. I was more wondering on how we deduce that the light we are currently seeing isn't light that has already reached Earth in the past, passed us by, and is now travelling beyond us in another direction? If I can use an analogy (I know there is no up, down, east, west etc in space) how do we know that the light we see from distant objects "west" of us, isn't light that originally came from "east" of us? Tia.
Mick,
I think I can answer that. I think you might be confusing the perception of light, ie what we see with light travelling through space.
Think of being on a boat at sea, a wave from the west moving to the east only rocks the boat once, once it is past us it can’t rock us again
It’s the same with light, once we intercept it, the light is past us forever.
Cool
Wowww this interview made me smile on a bad day. Dr jake cute af btw can i get a number lmao j/k
Keep up the nerdy passion I’m definitely a new fan xoxo
Question for Becky and Jake:
Are there more stars in the universe than planets, what is the ratio?
Answer: No, and nobody knows exactly
@@notforwantoftrying1 There has to be an approximate answer, and i would like to see if they both come up with the same ratio 🙏
Stars are easy to see, planets are not. There are planet around stars, but there are also rougue planet. An there maight be planets around black holes. How about planets around brown dwarfs? Or system of planets orbiting planets? Our posilbility to see planet orbiting stars are limited and observing rougue planet is a copletely new thing. How can you count what you cant see? I thing that this entire field of csience is under fast develepoment now and it is still too soon for any reliable estimates.
Awaiting the results on Trappist. That is going to be the most watched ones.
Our local fox affiliate showed the artist rendition saying it was an actual image of the planet.
Fake newz
🤦🏻♂️
😢
Raining Glass sounds like a Gary Numan song.
👍🙏
I have seen claims that there are galaxies that predate the Big Bang. Specifically this applies to structures within GLASS-z13. What's your take on this?
Jake Taylor, the aging baseball catcher from Cleveland??
Jake! Keep it secret! Keep it safe!
I still don’t understand what the presence photochemistry actually implies and why it’s such a big deal? Like I get it’s the result of a planets atmosphere being triggered by starlight, but don’t all (or at least most) planets have exposure to starlight? HELP ME
Don’t worry I just watched the actual video and it’s explained 😂
I was also surprised that finding photosemistry in other planets makes scientist so exited. It it is common with Sun light, how are others stars different?

But after seeing this video interview I understand that the recored data can say so much about the composition of the explanet's atmosphere and possibly also their way of formation of the planet and that is really exiting. It opens door into new worlds.
I think it was not so much a presence of photochemistry but a presence of a certain molecule wich they did not expected in the atmosphere of a gas giant, which can be explained only by a chain of chemistry reactions involving star light. That molecule and that chain of reaction was not expected to be found and that is the thing that makes the discovery exciting. The presence of the molecule and the presence of that particular chain rection can reveal much about the composite of the planet's athmosphere and the chemical reactions which are happening there.
@@samuela-aegisdottir right yeah that totally makes sense
Astronomers are living now the dream that particle physicists wished they had lived when the LHC went online. There were advances in particle physics, but nothing compared to what astronomy is going to live in the next decade.
Do you like Cool Worlds?
JWST is a brilliant instrument and important advancement in astronomy and cosmology. So I am doubly disappointed at 2:15, when Dr Jake and colleagues use the latest imagery as an excuse to SLAC off.
Rich lands... I like potassium! Be surprised, probably a reason worth going there for!
I mean who are the losers that don’t wanna watch the full interview???
Butterfly Nebula?:

Please you young physicist always do this. Venus would give similiar indicators. But if O2 shows up or O3 then WOW. But the star type and size of planet its orbit around star. One orbit is 5days crazy insane planet. It is fun. Keep up the work kepler scientist understand but they are working more on tecknology signatures. Photosynesis took 2billion yrs to make 03 finally. Rocks and the oceans took most of the o2 at first then finally 03 was made
Pretty good little video but I struggled to stay interested. He kept putting out what seem to be good information but unlike a normal video which has visual images of what is being talked about or small video clips, it was just to say in my own terms, nothing interesting. I like science and space and all of that but I really struggled to make it to the end of this. Just FYI, love your Channel Dr Becky. 😀
Yeah this is part of my “in conversation” series - there is no B-roll overlaid like in my normal Thursday videos, just the chat. Check out Thursday’s video with Jake if you want more of that vibe
Hey Geeks :)
Say hi to martin rosenlyst for me :))
Hes so cute
The conditions for life are showing up in places other than Earth. To date life has not made an appearance but do keep looking.
wen spaceships??
😃😄😁😆😅5 Smile's. Aaaaaaaa Fabric's especially with hubbles jwst explains the red shift if another hole goes straight through yet ripped the other fabric any data?? think a-12 not a -43.... going to get hot??. And when you getting the full map we'b thing need a second length hubble to that ring object outer variant!.
Español >>> Inglés
Great interview, but did they really analyze the spectrum of the tv screen? I'm not an expert, but that doesn't seem like it's gonna work. That's not anything close to raw data because of the video feed compression algorithm, then the image's compression algorithm (they probably did not send raw data to whoever broadcast it) and then whatever's the interpratation that your output device makes of it 😅 which would probably not be a problem if you capture the output data directly but there's still the first and second problems.
I expect that it was a first approximation, ‘what can we see’, examination. Not what they built their papers on.
it feels like this dicovery is SOOO expected that it's not very interesting. fine to have that stept but..next one please
If there is life on exoplanets can we call its inhabitants "exo-men"?
That would be Marvel-ous.,
^_^
Alien life perhaps.
The first life "we" might dicover from another planet will likely not be intelligent...unless of course said life visits us here on earth.
Why talk so fast
Is he a flat Earther :-) . Hahaha . Joking 🤣🤣🤣
Flat Eathers live on a giant Pizza in a constant fear that a giant rat is gonna eat them.
Wow there's rocks out there just like Earth. What million year life cycle are they in. Stop looking for other life cycles. Educate yourself for what you know.
You look so cute
😍😍😍😍
I've noticed that you never have straight men invited in your channel. It's always women and when I tough you were gonna make an exception whe have this happy flower. I'll admit that doesn't mean he didn't have anything interesting to say, but what are the chances that straight men being so underrepresented in your channel is just a statistical fluke. I think we can say with 95% confidence that you are actively avoiding them.
Who cares about photochemistry, where are the aliens
No cigarettes, no black coffee, no pure giga Chad alpha masculinity, no wonder astronomical accomplishments have slowed to a crawl since the early 80’s.
why the gay propaganda straps?
What concern is it of yours what he wears?
So you watch a science video on exoplanet atmospheres in order to show off your intolerance? Get. A. Life.
An exelent interview with an expert scientist about a brand new discovery enhancing our understanding of other planets' athmosphere possibly changing our models of our own solar system origin and 5 scientific articles written in record time with next to come and the only thing you took from that interview is that he wears straps you dont like? Poor you.
Thanks Dr B for not being a prima Donna Princess and explains very complicated info to the level we normies can understand. Have all of all of your awesome books as well. You rock,”.
