- In the last few years, scientists have discovered thousands of exoplanets - and a lot of them are surprisingly weird.

In 1584, Italian friar Giordano Bruno argued that other stars had planets of their own and that those planets had inhabitants. He had no real proof of his claims - they just felt true. But they were heretical enough to get the attention of the Roman Catholic Church. The Inquisition arrested Bruno, put his tongue in a vice, and burned him at the stake.
Four hundred years later, the idea of “exoplanets” (the term for planets outside our solar system) had become much more popular. Books, TV, and movies teemed with alien worlds orbiting alien suns. But one thing remained the same. We still had no proof that they existed.
Then, in 1995, astronomers discovered 51 Pegasi b - a planet orbiting a sun-like star in the Pegasus constellation. Many scientists were skeptical at first; this planet was almost too strange to be believed. Though it was about the size of Jupiter, it was closer to its star than Mercury is to our sun. Most surprisingly, it completed its orbit in just 4 days.
The years that followed brought a trickle of other discoveries, then a flood. New telescopes were sent to space and new computers crunched the data they collected. Today, we’ve confirmed the existence of nearly 5,000 exoplanets, with many more candidates waiting in the wings. Those planets paint a surprising picture of our galaxy. While astronomers once wondered if any stars have planets - now planetary systems seem the norm. 51 Pegasi b wasn’t a fluke - gas giants zipping around close to their stars (nicknamed “Hot Jupiters” or “Roasters”) are actually very common. We’ve also found lots of “super earths” - rocky worlds 2 to ten times bigger than Earth.
Our solar system, on the other hand, seems less common than some had imagined. We haven’t found anything quite like it. But … it’s still early. And the data we’ve gathered so far has many scientists feeling confident that somewhere out there, just waiting for our telescopes to swing in the right direction, is a planet like Earth.

Thanks for watching! Astronomers have found planets that make it around their stars in just a few hours. The planet K2-137 b completes 5 of its “years” in a single Earth day.
And the exoplanet with the slowest orbit? That’s COCONUTS-2 b - which takes 1,101,369 Earth YEARS to circle its star. By the way, COCONUTS is short for COol Companions ON Ultrawide orbiTS. -Adam
Thanks for making this video. I love the universe because it is just a vast and endless mystery with so many posibilities of life.

THATS TRUE BUT WE/SHE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS LYING AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA
Why didn't you mention the two scientists that received a novel price for discovering the first Exoplanet next to a sunlike star?
A million-year orbit? Wow, great excuse to get nothing done 'till next year.
This does not change the fact that in Antarctica there are 21 million penguins and in Malta there are 502,653 inhabitants. So if the penguins decide to invade Malta, each Maltese will have to fight 42

Penguins are white and black supremacists, and we amongus army can't tolerate that!!!

Would be insanely cool to read a science fiction/high fantasy novel with the setting of an eternal day on one side of the planet and an eternal night on the other side (like the one in proxima centauri b), with all the other fictional elements you can fit into that premise.
I believe your looking for the book “Proxima”
Romulans?
Luxemas, indeed that's an awesome premise. The region between the 'eternal night' and 'eternal day' is the terminator. The size of the terminator could be an important factor. If that region is sufficiently large, it might constitute it's own biosphere, with life eventually using that area to its advantage to evolve over time. Perhaps hardy life could adapt to some of the extremes at the edges of the terminator, being able to cope with the severe cold (on one side) and the oven-like heat of the other edge - who knows whats possible!
Tidally locked planet
Just set the story In Antarctica and you get the same thing
Part of me wishes that we had more sci-fi films and series that focus on alien environments and how humans have adapted to living on them. From big things like food production and social hierarchy, to the subtle cultural impact of seeing multiple planets in the sky or a giant one. So many stories could be told on these worlds.

Hope for what? Even at light speed the closest planet is a 25 years trip.
First, the world can still get awful without being on the level of [insert exaggerating disaster sci-fi work]. Second, unless we get the Alcubierre drive up and running, it's gonna take tens of years to reach those.

QUESTION: How would we find life on other planets with the way light years work? When we look at distant planets and stars that are millions of light years away, we are seeing them essentially in the past. The light has taken thousands of years to get to our planet. So if we did find life, how would we know if they exist right now, if they are millions of light years away? By the time we see the planet, the life might be extinct. Question also applies to our planet, Is that the reason ET's have never visited? They are too far away, and don't even know we exist yet?
We have no way of knowing for sure unless we walk up to their door and see unfortunately.
we dont even know if theres life in europa (a moon from jupiter). A way to know to send a high altitude sattelite like the one from earth and move it to an altutude where we can continuously observe it.
great question! i don't have an answer unfortunately.
Sadly, we can’t fix this problem with modern tech
Extremely interesting what you said.
Following that thought, imagine there is an advanced civilization with tremendously powerful and precise telescopes that they can point in our direction and could actually see at the scale of the creatures living in our planet.
If they were located about 65 million light years away from us, that means that they could be, or close to, witnessing the asteroid hitting earth and the subsequent extinction of the dinosaurs, live, real soon.
"What's the point? Why are we doing this?"
*"It's human nature to explore"*
I expected a technical and profound answer, but her answer is better (or even the best). Simple and genuine, yet explains all of it :)
Yep, the same drive that helped us explore less that 20% of the oceans.

JWST is specialized on infrared, which mostly looks as FAR away as possible for a long time at first (and also can better look through dust into places like the center of the milkWay).
It may coincidentally find extragalaxtic planets in other galaxies, but that is not too useful. It more likely may find out more about black holes and VERY large scale structures.
To find/see exoplanets (and likely even measure their atmosphere composition), you need a different telescope type, and more likely just a starshade-filter.
@@hermeslein6614 troll. 😂
As usual, excellent job here. Something that worries me by the fact of being explorers is the fact that it doesn't makes us conserve and value what we've discovered. This planet is our only home.
Can we appreciate that when Vox explains they always do it in a unique fashion . Got to admit the animation team kills it every time with the simple but effective presentation style!! ❤️
P.S : JWST is finally at L2 point , looking forward for cosmos to unfold !!
It's awesome you got Prof. Seager for this, she's a crucial authority for planetary sciences and her work has been really influential 👏🏽
yeah she appears to be one of the more interested scientists that are targeting dwarfs rather than trying to find a much rarer Earth like planet. Our sun is just not that common. I personally believe that targeting tidally locked planets is the way to go as they're most certainly gonna be much more common.
@@leecowell8165 Lee, I think that planets around red dwarf planets are a good bet given the sheer longevity of those types of stars, but we need to know more about them. For instance, there was once a fear that red dwarf stars might flare too often to allow life to survive long-term, but that apparently no longer seems to be a deal-breaker. As for planets being tidally-locked .... I think we should try to learn as much as we can about such worlds. A big question for me is - is the terminator (the area between the light side the dark side) survivable? Is it large enough to support a potential variety of life? Is there any evidence that that planet's tilt could change and cause the terminator's position to change suddenly (on geological timescales) Imagine a planet that has a thick-enough atmosphere and winds that allow heat to be evenly transferred around it. You could potentially have a tidally-locked world where the temperature is still consistent all over because the atmosphere and winds spread that energy evenly.
How are people so smart
I don't know about y'all but I'm way more excited these days about the JWST. And the next 6 months legit feels like eternity for me.
I'm excited too about it

Finally someone with my level of communication skills.
8:48. She said we explored *most* of the ocean while in reality, we barely breached the surface. We only discovered 25% of the ocean.
Exactly! I'd say even less than 25% (depending on the source). I'm pretty sure what she really thinks is that this work will help increase our civilization level on the Kardashev scale. Which is a lot more difficult to explain.

You really given some Outer Wilds, campfire s’mores, vibes going in this video about planets. Nice
There's a lot to love about this seemingly simple video: The jungle-lakeside-campfire interview setting which provide a more intimate, human feel to the astrophysicist; the neat animated illustrations which aid understanding; but mostly, the knowledge of where research is heading in the next decade or so, which I wasn't expecting when I clicked on this video. Can't wait for more information about TRAPPIST-1's exoplanets from James Webb.

Vox makes astronomy looks so interesting for everyone with their easily digest informations and awesome video production
Was the video game, outer wilds, an inspiration for the setting of this video? It almost looks like the cover art in some of the shots. The campfire and the marshmallows. All that was missing is the theme song.
I came here in the comments just to say that. Just finished the game, and then this video bumped. They even talk about a "poket solar system", just like that in the game haha. Amazing!!
The weird thing is, the earth is perfectly aligned to the moon's and the sun's movement. How odd that our galaxy is unique in its own too.
Why do you find it odd? Intelligent design is all around you. “It is Allah who erected the heavens without pillars that you [can] see; then He established Himself above the Throne and made subject the sun and the moon, each running [its course] for a specified term. He governs [yudabbir] [each] matter; He details the signs that you may, of the meeting with your Lord, be certain”

Vox, this little episode is very well done. I wouldn't describe this sort of science as being your 'main gig', but you did a great job on it here, asking the right questions, explaining relevant concepts and getting Prof. Seager, kudos!
As cool as this video is, the claim that we've "surveyed all the land on earth and most of the oceans" isn't exactly true, *especially for the ocean.* 95% of the ocean is undiscovered and considering the technology necessary to explore it would mean making scientific research equipment that can see and identify things in areas with little to no light, as well as survive extreme temperatures and pressures, it feels like it would be of some use for space exploration.
Also regarding the land, Its true we've taken a look at an overwhelming majority of it, due to things like satellite imaging, but that doesn't mean we've *actually been there and taken document of all the species of plants and fauna that live there,* which I think is what some people might take away from what she said. For example it is estimated that there remain 160 species of land mammals, 3,000 species of amphibians and 30,000 species of plants undiscovered in the world's rain forests. And this is before we get into caves.
There's still a lot to do on earth. But unfortunately the opportunity to truly see it is vanishing due to a lack of action on addressing the climate crisis.

This video is beautiful. Imagine… under a different sky, pair of extra terrestrial life forms, enjoying their equivalent of s’mores under a fire pondering about life on other star systems…
Can I interest you in the indie game, Outer Wilds?
If we put a telescope on Mars then we could have more of an option of planets like earth.
If those things are eating s'mores then I thing it's our duty to duty to enslave them.
Humans enslave human a we see it's wrong. But slaving plants and animals just to eat them. seeing a difference is difficult
Plants Bird Apes Dolphins plants and sea creatures
All theses animals use tools and show intelligence. Some plants release it's seeds when it's dying they climb things to get better sun/food they help their young.
When we see these terrestrial we will test their intelligence. But it doesn't look good cause humans are tested to this day

I'd love to ask scientists the plausibility of habitable single biome planets as regularly depicted in science fiction. I.e. tatooine and arrakis being desert planets or the ice planet in interstellar
I guess the existence of mars can answer that question
@@bens4801 Mars has a low atmosphere, i'll guess he refer to liveable planets.
I don't think it's possible. Around the poles the sunrays hit at a shallow angle, around the equator they hit perpendicularly. That makes a big difference.

Amazing how human ingenuity has taken us this far

To me, the main reasons to find an earth twin is to provide a destination for colonization and secondly to learn if we are not alone. The knowledge gained by those two objectives would be immense beyond our current comprehension. The third reason is to answer the question "what If".
Awesome stuff here Vox. Loved the length of the video and the content was out of this word! Keep em coming please
This video was a milestone for me. The first CZcams documentary about space, exoplanets and possible life in the universe, with Sara Seager in it, and the JWST actually HAS launched! Watched the same day the JWST hit L2 even!
This video has increased my anxiety for James Webb telescope... Astronomy is thrilling... Waiting from here in Kenya
With the new James Webb telescope, we may find a planet with alien life. That would be both the greatest discovery of all time, as well as being the most horrifying one.
Why would it be horrifying? It would be more fascinating than anything
Depends on the type of alien. If they are just a primordial soup with no higher/intelligent species then …
Viruses, invasions and more. They could be extremely paranoid or aggressive or transmit viruses and diseases
Bacterial life yeah, intelligent life probably not, it’s not uncommon among scientists to think that here may only be a handful of intelligent life forms in the universe or indeed that we are the only one

I keep seeing people say how terrifying it is if we aren't alone in the universe, I feel that it would be simply just too sad if we found a similar civilization to ours even just a few hundred lightyears away (which would still be incredibly close considering the sheer scale of the observable universe) because by the time our fastest vessel arrived, that civilization would likely be either nearly nonexistent or completely wiped out by whatever in the plethora of civilization-killers that come and go and we would likely find nothing but ruins, the way a telescope works is almost like magic, closer to peeping into the past, we receive photons that bounced off something and carry that specific visual information almost like a time capsule, so to expect for our vessels to arrive to the exact image we are seeing in our telescopes is a total misunderstanding of the currently proven laws of physics, we would in essence have to learn how to teleport to get that result, which is nearly impossible.

Same goes for exoplanet discovery missions.
Sara is wrong when she says the ocean is mostly explored. It's actually about 5% explored. Which means we have not explored 65% of our own planet.

Exploring this vast universe takes some life times. So it is right to keep it going or never.
Such a great concise content here.
Where could one purchase that map.
There's now a link in the video description to the map I made, and the editable, more detailed one it's based on by Jim Cornmell
What if humans is the first intelligent life forms to exist?
can't agree no more
Incredible editing, amazing graphics, great S'mores!
The transition from fire sparks to stars at 0:30 was pretty sick!
Love the content ❤️
Great video. It is human nature to explore and learn more!
Before we even find a planet like that we might end up destroying our own and killing ourselves 🗿
If only people would want to learn more about why they are here and where they are going.
@@Romans6_23 everyone wants to know that. The different conclusions are why we all hate each other. Looking for space rocks doesn't answer that question in the slightest.
@@gamecokben try to understand why everyone opposes each other. The Jews deny Christ as the Messiah even though hundreds of people saw Him resurrected. The Muslims deny Christ was crucified even though we have scholars who agree that this event was historically accurate. If over 500 people saw Christ resurrected and then died martyrs…they must have believed whole heartedly in what they saw. The Hindus worship the fallen angels that the Old Testament talks about and so do many other religions. Jesus Christ is the only one who proved to be EXACTLY who he said he was.
I love this video. Really neat, and has an Outer Wilds feel with the camp fire
Trappist especially looks like a real life Hearthian system! Hopefully JWST doesn't see anything resembling a Bramble...
I love how positive this segment is.
Bec I've read somewhere that our universe is slowly going farther apart. So if we can't find any life in other planets within a certain amount of time, it'll be more diff to do so in the future
"I read somewhere" lol you sound so uneducated. The universe is expanding at an increasing rate. Whatever magical threshold you imagine is long gone.
Love these videos! Keep them coming!
Since when have we surveyed most of the oceans? Thought it was like
We're looking for aliens and the oceans are in earth
@@Lumiobyte yes.
Part of me wishes that we had more sci-fi films and series that focus on alien environments and how humans have adapted to living on them. From big things like food production and social hierarchy, to the subtle cultural impact of seeing multiple planets in the sky or a giant one. So many stories could be told on these worlds.
Wow, this video is amazing! Very creative!
Amazing content! I'm obsessed with this channel!!!
Since when did 3-7 percent become most of something?
I sometimes thinks of planets that might resemble our Earth and there might be living on it too and the aliens living on it might know that our planet Earth do exist and they might also know that there is living on Earth but they don't have enough technology to come here or they might not want to come here they just searching for other planets...
This all thinking makes my mind blow 🤯
Dope video Vox, more of these!
"How amazing would that be?"
"It would be amazing."
Amazing video and very thought provoking! I was wondering where I could find the poster of the planetary systems of the known universe (1:49)? I would love to look into this in great detail!
If you search equatorial star map you can find similar, not the exact one but close

@@adamcole138 Thank you for sharing the map, Adam! I had one question around how to read the map, is the map drawn from the perspective of Earth/Our solar system looking outward into the universe and marking the positions? Like I tried to see where our Sun was in the map but couldn’t find it! Sorry for the basic question! 😅
@@siddharthmenon8715 Yes - this map is the sky as seen from Earth. The green line in the middle of the map (the ecliptic) is the apparent path of the sun over the course of the year. Because we are orbiting the sun, it appears to move relative to the distant stars.
@@adamcole138 Thank you so much, Adam! 😊🙌🏻
