This planet was discovered in August 2006 by the Trans-Atlantic Exoplanet Survey.  It became the very first planet observed by the Kepler Space Telescope with the designation Kepler-1b.   Kepler-1b is a gas giant that is slightly larger than Jupiter and has one and a half times its mass, but orbits much closer to its star than Mercury does to our Sun. It takes only 2.5 days to complete one orbit, meaning that its year is very short. It also rotates synchronously with its star, meaning that one side always faces the star and the other side always faces away. This creates a huge temperature difference between the day and night sides, which can reach up to 1,500 degrees Celsius.   Get all episodes: https://exoplanetradio.com Music by Geodesium: https://lochnessproductions.com   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

For thousands of years, humans have wondered whether we're alone in the cosmos. Now, for the first time, we have the technology to investigate. But once you look for life elsewhere, you realize it is not so simple. How do you find it over cosmic distances? What actually is life? As founding director of Cornell University's Carl Sagan Institute, astrophysicist Lisa Kaltenegger has built a team of tenacious scientists from many disciplines to create a specialized toolkit to find life on faraway worlds. In Alien Earths, she demonstrates how we can use our homeworld as a Rosetta Stone, creatively analyzing Earth's history and its astonishing biosphere to inform this search. With infectious enthusiasm, she takes us on an eye-opening journey to the most unusual exoplanets that have shaken our worldview - planets covered in oceans of lava, lonely wanderers lost in space, and others with more than one sun in their sky! And the best contenders for Alien Earths. We also see the imagined worlds of science fiction and how close they come to reality. With the James Webb Space Telescope and Dr. Kaltenegger's pioneering work, she shows that we live in an incredible new epoch of exploration. As our witty and knowledgeable tour guide, Dr. Kaltenegger shows how we discover not merely new continents, like the explorers of old, but whole new worlds circling other stars and how we could spot life there. Worlds from where aliens may even be gazing back at us. What if we're not alone? Lisa Kaltenegger is the Director of the Carl Sagan Institute to Search for Life in the Cosmos at Cornell and Associate Professor in Astronomy. She is a pioneer and world-leading expert in modeling potential habitable worlds and their detectable spectral fingerprint. Kaltenegger serves on the National Science Foundation's Astronomy and Astrophysics Advisory Committee (AAAC), and on NASA senior review of operating missions. She is a Science Team Member of NASA's TESS Mission as well as the NIRISS instrument on James Webb Space Telescope. Kaltenegger was named one of America's Young Innovators by Smithsonian magazine, an Innovator to Watch by Time magazine. She appears in the IMAX 3D movie “The Search for Life in Space” and speaks frequently, including at Aspen Ideas Festival, TED Youth, World Science Festival and the Kavli Foundation lecture at the Adler Planetarium. Shermer and Kaltenegger discuss: Carl Sagan and his influence • Sagan's Dragon • ECREE Principle • how stars, planets and solar systems form • how exoplanets are discovered • Hubble Space Telescope, Kepler Space Telescope, James Webb Space Telescope • The Origin of Life • Fermi's Paradox: where is everybody (the Great Silence, the Great Filter) • biosignatures • technosignatures • Dyson spheres • Will aliens be biological or AI? • interstellar travel • Kardashev scale of civilizations • how to talk to aliens when we can't even talk to dolphins • Deities for Atheists, Skygods for Skeptics: aliens as gods and the search as religion • why alien worlds matter.

In the vast expanse of the universe, there lies a peculiar anomaly within the realm of exoplanetary science. Despite the discovery and cataloging of over 5,000 exoplanets by various space agencies, a noticeable absence of exoplanets with diameters between 1.5 and two times that of Earth has puzzled scientists. A recent study utilizing data from the retired Kepler Space Telescope offers an intriguing explanation for this size gap, suggesting a process where the cores of these planets might be expelling their atmospheres from the inside.

From July 8, 2023. Hosted by Tony Darnell. Kepler-22b is one of the first exoplanets confirmed by the Kepler Space Telescope that resides in the habitable zone.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

When considering the long-term survival and sustainability of human civilization, two developments hold significant implications. Firstly, humanity has been recklessly depleting resources, causing species extinctions, and degrading essential elements for life on Earth for centuries. Secondly, advancements in the science of discovering habitable planets outside our solar system have opened up the possibility of establishing human civilization beyond our increasingly inhospitable planetary home. In his latest book, "Worlds Without End: Exoplanets, Habitability, and the Future of Humanity," Professor Chris Impey takes readers on a thrilling journey through the frontiers of astronomy and the search for planets that can potentially support life. In this episode of Bridging the Gaps, I speak with Professor Impey about the science behind finding habitable exoplanets, the evolution of space exploration, and the prospect of humans inhabiting a planet far away from our solar system. Chris Impey is a University Distinguished Professor of Astronomy at the University of Arizona. He has made significant contributions to the fields of observational cosmology, astrophysics, particularly in the area of exoplanet research. His expertise and passion for the subject have led to many publications and appearances in documentaries, news outlets, and popular science programmes. He has won numerous teaching awards and authored textbooks and many popular science books. We begin our discussion by examining the historical perspectives on exoplanets, planets beyond our solar system. We then delve into the discovery of the first exoplanet and explore the various methods that scientists have employed to detect these far-off worlds. The Kepler Space Telescope played a pivotal role in this field, and we explore how the James Webb Telescope presents new opportunities for advancing exoplanet research. The diversity of exoplanets is astounding, with variations in size, composition, and orbital characteristics. We delve into these differences and their implications. Additionally, we thoroughly examine the concept of habitability, including how scientists are studying the atmospheric characteristics of these alien worlds. We also touch on the intriguing possibility of orphan planets - large planets without a star - that may sustain habitability characteristics without a sun. We then contemplate the prospect of travelling to these distant planets and potentially establishing human settlements there. We explore the magnitude of such a journey and the challenges involved in interstellar travel. Lastly, we consider the possibility of extraterrestrial life in the universe. Complement this discussion with “Search for Exoplanets: A Discussion with Professor Sara Seager” available at: https://www.bridgingthegaps.ie/2016/12/search-for-exoplanets-with-sara-seager/ And then listen to ““The End of Astronauts”, Robotic Space Exploration and Our Future on Earth and Beyond with Professor Martin Rees” available at: https://www.bridgingthegaps.ie/2022/03/the-end-of-astronauts-robotic-space-exploration-and-our-future-on-earth-and-beyond-with-professor-martin-rees/

Light curves of transneptunian objects from the K2 mission of the Kepler Space Telescope by Viktória Kecskeméthy et al. on Thursday 13 October The K2 mission of the Kepler Space Telescope allowed the observations of light curves of small solar system bodies throughout the whole Solar system. In this paper we present the results of a collection of K2 transneptunian object observations, between Campaigns C03 (November 2014 -- February 2015) to C19 (August -- September, 2018), which includes 66 targets. Due to the faintness of our targets the detectability rate of a light curve period is $sim$56%, notably lower than in the case of other small body populations, like Hildas or Jovian trojans. We managed to obtain light curve periods with an acceptable confidence for 37 targets; the majority of these cases are new identifications. We were able to give light curve amplitude upper limits for the other 29 targets. Several of the newly detected light curve periods are longer than $sim$24 h, in many cases close to $sim$80 h, i.e., these targets are slow rotators. This relative abundance of slowly rotating objects is similar to that observed among Hildas, Jovian trojans and Centaurs in the K2 mission, and also among main belt asteroids measured with the TESS Space Telescope. Transneptunian objects show notably higher light curve amplitudes at large (D $gtrsim$ 300 km) sizes than that found among large main belt asteroids, in contrast to the general expectation that due to their lower compressive strength they reach hydrostatic equlibrium at smaller sizes than their inner solar system counterparts. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2210.06571v1

NASA's Kepler Space Telescope was an observatory in space dedicated to finding planets outside our solar system, with a particular focus on finding planets that might resemble Earth.

Our guest is Dr. Natalie Batalha, astrophysicist and professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics at UC Santa Cruz, specializing in detecting and characterizing exoplanets, including potentially habitable alien worlds! Dr. Batalha was the Co-Investigator and Mission Scientist for the Kepler Space Telescope, and today uses the world's most powerful ground-based telescopes to identify planets suitable for further study with the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope. Check out our website for the full transcript of this podcast, plus the full YouTube version of this episode:

Using data collected by NASA's Kepler Space Telescope, scientists have found four free-floating, or rogue, planets near the core of the Milky Way. These planets formed in discs in other planetary systems and were thrown out by gravitational interactions with larger planets. Plus, the early solar system, including ancient Earth, Jupiter's chemistry, and Mercury's core.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.

Kepler Space Telescope: The Original Exoplanet Hunter | Quoraflix अमेरिकी अंतरिक्ष अनुसंधान संस्थान (नासा) ने 7 मार्च 2009 को केप्लर टेलिस्कोप लॉन्च किया था। नासा की यह दूरबीन सूरज की परिक्रमा करती है। इसका काम सूरज जैसे ही लेकिन उससे अलग अन्य तारों के इर्द-गिर्द दूसरे गैर-सौरीय ग्रहों को ढूंढना है जो पृथ्वी से मिलते-जुलते हों। केप्लर दूरबीन पृथ्वी जैसे करीब डेढ़ लाख सितारों की टोह लेती रहती है। इसे मानव जाति के इतिहास की सबसे ताकतवर दूरबीन माना गया। 2009 से 2018 के बीच अपनी नौ साल की छोटी सी जिंदगी में केपलर नाम की दूरबीन ने दर्जनों ग्रह खोजे जो पृथ्वी जैसे थे. इस दूरबीन का नाम जर्मन एस्ट्रोनॉमर योहानेस केपलर के नाम पर रखा गया. इसके खोजे किसी भी ग्रह पर जीवन हो सकता है.

K2-18 B, an earth-like planet with water vapour is spotted 111 light years away. An interstellar object christened Oumuamua flies through our solar system exhibiting characteristics never seen before in an asteroid. Scientists discover intriguing radio wave emissions coming from Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to the sun. These are just some of a growing number of observations that have scientists excited about proving the existence of alien life. Statistical probabilities support this view - the Kepler Space Telescope has identified billions of planets theoretically capable of supporting life. To meaningfully advance the science of astrobiology humanity needs to abandon the longstanding and pervasive view that we are alone in the universe. Skeptics say that given the immense age of the observable universe there should be some evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations, but instead all we hear and see is silence. These same scientists argue that the ability of a planet to make the jump from inanimate matter to life - known as abiogenesis - and then to stay alive and become intelligent - requires highly unlikely transitions. Earth and humans are special. Our existence represents an incredible fluke and the statistical probability of it happening elsewhere is all but impossible. In sum, we are alone. Arguing for the motion is Avi Loeb, Astronomer and Professor of Science at Harvard University and a New York times bestselling author, most recently of Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth. Arguing against the motion is Stephen Webb, a physicist at the University of Portsmouth, author of the best seller Where is Everybody, and presenter of the recent top ten TED Talk Where are all the Aliens?  Sources: Sky News Australia, Fox 35 Orlando, KSAT 12, Business Insider, PBS Space Time, World News, CBSDFW, MoleClues TV The host of the Munk Debates is Rudyard Griffiths - @rudyardg.   Tweet your comments about this episode to @munkdebate or comment on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/munkdebates/ To sign up for a weekly email reminder for this podcast, send an email to podcast@munkdebates.com.   To support civil and substantive debate on the big questions of the day, consider becoming a Munk Member at https://munkdebates.com/membership Members receive access to our 10+ year library of great debates in HD video, a free Munk Debates book, newsletter and ticketing privileges at our live events.

How do they detect planets orbiting far-away stars? Is that even a real thing? Yes it is true, and there are two main methods for finding them: doppler shift and periodic changes in light intensity. To date, thousands of extrasolar planets have been detected. But what does this mean for the possibility of life in outer space? Actually, very little, for most stars are inhospitable to life in general. Joe and Rob wrap up with a discussion on theology and how a Christian can make sense of the new discoveries.

Astronomers studying data from the Kepler Space Telescope have discovered moons orbiting exoplanets. They're even harder to find because of their size, but these candidates are about 200 to 3,000 light years away. The post 6 More Exomoons Discovered appeared first on Trekzone.

Even though many of his UFO discoveries have been dismissed by experts, an unflinching Waring continues his research, and he strongly propagates the idea that aliens are visiting Earth frequently to monitor human activities. Now, after spotting a cloud-like UFO, Waring has claimed that the public will make the alien disclosure. In his recent website post, Waring revealed that the cloud-like UFO was spotted in the skies of Hereford, England. According to Waring, the UFO was apparently using the cloud as a cover as it moved across the skies. "It wouldn't surprise me if they had windows or transparent walls that allow the aliens to look down at the people and activities below. Absolutely amazing catch of a perfect disk over England yesterday. Aliens have been around us for thousands of years, but we are wising up, our technology and our intelligence are increasing and they won't be able to hide from us for long," wrote Waring on his website ET Data Base. Reptilian Aliens on Earth? Conspiracy theorists have often alleged that at least three different species of aliens are living among humans. A few days back, Waring, after analyzing a 2018 interview of Lady Gaga had claimed that the American singer could be a reptilian alien. Waring made the assumptions as Gaga expressed her desire to shapeshift during the interview. The claims made by Waring soon went viral, and his followers outlandishly argued that Lady Gaga is an alien being who maintains a good connection with the Illuminati, the hypothetical shadow government that controls the entire world. Breakthrough Listen Scans Kepler-160 System for Alien Technosignatures Link: http://www.sci-news.com/astronomy/breakthrough-listen-kepler-160-system-alien-technosignatures-08575.html Kepler-160 is approximately 3,141 light-years away toward the constellation of Lyra. The Breakthrough Listen Initiative, the largest ever scientific research program aimed at finding evidence of alien civilizations, has conducted a search for artificial radio emission associated with Kepler-160, a system of four planets that includes the newly-discovered habitable-zone planet Kepler-160e. This Sun-like star is about 12% bigger than our Sun, just 1% more luminous, and is home to at least four massive planets: Kepler-160b, c, d and e. The planets Kepler-160b, c and d are between 1.7 and 3.1 times the size of Earth and have orbital periods less than 50 days. The outermost planet, Kepler-160e (also designated KOI-456.04), has a radius of 1.9 times that of the Earth and an orbital period of 378 days. The alien world, found earlier this year in data from NASA's Kepler Space Telescope, is in the habitable zone of the host star and has an estimated surface temperature of minus 28 degrees Celsius (minus 18 degrees Fahrenheit). “This Earth-like planet candidate, given its ideal location in the habitable zone of its host star and edge-on orientation projected toward Earth, represents an ideal target for technosignature searches,” said Columbia University astronomer Karen Perez and colleagues. “We searched the radio frequency bands 1.1-1.9 GHz (L-band), 1.8-2.8 GHz (S-band), and 3.95-8 GHz (C-band) for narrowband Doppler-accelerated and wideband artificially-dispersed technosignatures,” they explained. “We observed Kepler-160 with the Green Bank Telescope for three 5-minute pointings at each frequency band, beginning on June 14, 2020 11:13 UT.” What do residents of Asgardia get?

Episode 8 – Michelle Kunimoto – Discovering Exoplanets and the Search for Extraterrestrial Life   The question, “Are we alone in the universe?”, has inspired philosophers and scientists since time immemorial. When we look up at the starry sky, one almost can't help but wonder, is there anybody out there?   Michelle Kunimoto isn't just asking that question, she is busy doing her small part in the search for the answer. And she is this week's guest on This Amazing Story.   Michelle Kunimoto discovered 17 exoplanets by scouring over the data from the Kepler Space Telescope as part of her grad project at the University of British Columbia (UBC). Previously, she had found four other exoplanets as an undergrad, an achievement that landed her on the Forbes 30 Under 30 List for Science at the age of only 23.   Inspired at an early age to pursue astronomy when her Dad introduced her to the original Star Trek TV Series, Michelle has now completed her PhD in Astronomy at UBC, and will soon be travelling to MIT in Boston where she will be fulfilling a childhood dream of working with NASA.   In this episode Michelle tells us what it takes to find exoplanets, how she became interested in studying exoplanets in the first place, how you too can become an exoplanet researcher right from the comfort of your own home, what the future might hold for space exploration, and much more.   This episode is a great chance to learn a bit about astronomy, and Michelle does an amazing job of putting some complicated ideas into simple language that anybody can understand.     SOME RELEVANT LINKS   CBC Article on Michelle Kunimoto, March 1, 2020 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/ubc-astronomy-student-finds-17-new-possible-planets-1-may-have-water-1.5481900   Global News Story, Feb 28, 2020 https://globalnews.ca/video/6611938/ubc-graduate-student-michelle-kunimoto-explains-interstellar-exoplanet-discovery   Global News Story, Jan 7, 2017 https://globalnews.ca/video/3167384/ubc-grad-michelle-kunimoto-named-to-forbes-30-under-30-list   Forbes 30 Under 30, 2017 https://www.forbes.com/30-under-30-2017/science/#1160533827fa   Vancouver Sun Article on the first 4 planets discovered by Kunimoto, Jan 15, 2020 https://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/ubcs-rising-astronomy-star-michelle-kunimoto-seeks-distant-worlds   Global News Story on the first four exoplanets, May 30, 2016 https://globalnews.ca/news/2731189/ubc-astronomy-student-discovers-4-new-planets-beyond-our-solar-system/   Planet Hunters TESS https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/nora-dot-eisner/planet-hunters-tess/about/research   Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes https://archive.stsci.edu/    UBC Department of Physics and Astronomy https://www.phas.ubc.ca/   Jaymie Matthews at UBC https://www.phas.ubc.ca/users/jaymie-matthews   ----more---- For more information or to join the conversation, visit thisamazingstory.com Or send mail to host, Malcolm McMillan.

  Business is all about being able to look forward and come through from where you are in the present. Sean Hutchinson, CEO/Partner of SVA Value Accelerators, talks about the Company of the Future in the value accelerator. He shares the intensive work his company has been doing with pivoting owners to advance towards their goals in the future. The Company of the Future is that strategy where you will have to think of the current and future state of your business. Get down into it as you answer the question of “Where are we going and how are we going to get there?” Sean breaks down the two tools that can help you find the answers to these questions: the graphics game plan and strategic doing. — Watch the episode here: Listen to the podcast: Company Of The Future: Creating The Path To Higher Valuation with CEO/Partner Sean Hutchinson We’re going to go through and do a continuation or a deep dive from an original episode with Sean Hutchinson of SVA (http://buildvaluetoday.com/) . He’s the CEO and partner. What we’re going to be talking about is the value accelerator methodology, Company of the Future. Sean, welcome to the podcast. Thank you, Bob. It’s good to be here. Let’s talk about the Company of the Future component. As a reminder, a few principles from the first episode that we did. We have three classes of owners, three categories. We’ve got the explorers, we’ve got the pivoters and we’ve got the triggers. Explorers are seeking information and insights. Pivoters are working on value accelerator actively and intensively. Then the triggerers are owners who are looking in the short-term to transition ownership of their business. Company of the Future is in the value accelerator. We’re working with the pivoting owners. Company of the Future is a strategy. Think about the current state, future state when you’re doing strategy, you’ve got two questions to answer. They’re simple questions. Where are we going and how are we going to get there? That’s all you need to answer. We created Company of the Future as a 90-day sprint and what we ask our clients to do is concentrate on those two questions. They’re going to continue to run their business, it’s not like we’re going on a 90-day retreat. What we are focusing on in terms of value acceleration is where are we going as a company out of all the options out there? Where do we want to plant our flag? How do we want to create a direct path or at least a path that can efficiently get us there? Then what resources are we going to need both in our company and from outside of our company in order to activate that pathway? What I’m going to describe to you are two things after using a few visuals here. I’m going to describe to you two tools. One is the graphic game plan and the other is called strategic doing, which is an agile strategy methodology. We believe in agile strategy and, I want to say as many times as I possibly can, this has a strong bias for action. The reason that we call it strategic doing is because strategic planning doesn’t encourage anybody to do anything at all except plan. Think about being in an action mindset throughout this entire process. That’s what’s going to count. You're going to have to learn what the essence of leadership is and that is knowing what not to do.

Prof. Jessie Christiansen returns to give Mitch and Kevin heads up on the planet hunting Kepler Space Telescope's final mission update, on how discoveries sometimes have to be walked back a bit, and the "what's up with that?" on Oumuamua, the asteroid (or maybe space ship?) from outside the solar system. There is some singing involved.

Eight months ago, Rebecca Gutierrez and her husband bought a home in Puerto Rico, a dream that finally came true. Now, she's living a nightmare. After two massive storms and nearly two weeks without power and clean water, Gutierrez left the island. She's staying in Colorado with her niece. Then, the Colorado-built Kepler Space Telescope is giving an unexpected boost to the study of quakes in stars, or "asteroseismology." Yes, that's a thing. And later in the show, new chimes are ringing at the City and County building in Denver.

The Kepler Space Telescope has discovered more than 50 habitable Earth sized planets orbiting distant stars.

Kevin's buddy from school, Prof. Peter Plavchan, visiting from Missouri, and comedian Richard Chassler, join Owen and Kevin in Hollywood, to talk about a weird planetary system discovered by the Kepler Space Telescope, which Peter uses to study distant solar systems. Some have found this particular system to be so odd, that it may be evidence of an enormous alien mega-structure surrounding the distant star. Or not.

Dr. Christiansen stops by the show to talk about exoplanets and the Kepler Space Telescope. We share an Australian beverage and she explains how astronomers look for exoplanets, and how the discovery of “hot Jupiters” was a huge surprise to astronomers.

Stephen Hawking has some new thoughts on black holes, but he's not saying they don't exist. For a few weeks, weather uncovered the footprints of five prehistoric humans. And then washed them away again. There's a leech that can survive being submerged in liquid nitrogen for 24 hours. Astronomers have discovered what could be one of the oldest stars, formed from the exploded remains of one of the first stars. The crippled Kepler Space Telescope has been resurrected, with an ingenious solution that restores part of its function.

Natalie Batalha is a research astronomer at NASA Ames Research Center and a mission scientist with the Kepler Space Telescope. Krista Tippett spoke with her on December 13, 2012 via ISDN. This interview is included in our show “On Exoplanets and Love: Natalie Batalha on Science That Connects Us to One Another.” Download the mp3 of the produced show at onbeing.org.

A mission scientist with NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope, Natalie Batalha hunts for exoplanets — Earth-sized planets beyond our solar system that might harbor life. She speaks about unexpected connections between things like love and dark energy, science and gratitude, and how “exploring the heavens” brings the beauty of the cosmos and the exuberance of scientific discovery closer to us all.

Although the Kepler space telescope's stabilization system is beyond repair, it has produced reams of data that have yet to be fully searched for exoplanets. John Matson reports.

NASA's orbiting Kepler telescope recently spotted three exoplanets in or near their stars' so-called habitable zones, the temperate region where a planet could accommodate liquid water. John Matson reports

A probe hunting for planets outside our solar system keeps bringing in a bountiful harvest

Seth Shostak. Each week seems to bring new discoveries of worlds around other stars; and not just the Hot Jupiters of the past decade but small rocky worlds that are more like Earth. We haven’t yet found our twin, but the odds of it being out there are looking better each day. Long before we began detecting extrasolar planets, the idea that these worlds existed was commonly accepted. The idea that they were home to other civilizations became the foundation of Star Trek. As we now discover—thanks to the Kepler Space Telescope—that planets may be more plentiful than stars it seems inevitable that intelligent life has arisen out there somewhere. In this episode of Matter Stream we’re joined by Dr. Seth Shostak, Senior Astronomer at the SETI Institute to discuss if and when we might detect other life, how it is likely to happen, and how it will impact our society.
