Exoplanet Radio

By: Deep Astronomy LLC
  • Summary

  • Have you ever wondered what lies beyond our solar system? Are there other planets like Earth out there? How do we find them and study them? What can they teach us about ourselves and our place in the universe? If you are curious about these questions, then Exoplanet Radio is for you. We will explore the fascinating field of exoplanets, the planets that orbit other stars. We will learn about the history and methods of exoplanet discovery, the diversity and characteristics of exoplanets, the challenges and opportunities of exoplanet science, and the implications and prospects of exoplanet life. Join us on this journey of wonder and discovery, as we venture into the unknown and uncover the secrets of the worlds beyond our solar system.

  • Epsilon Indi Ab: A Twin of Jupiter
    Sep 17 2024
    An international team of astronomers has directly imaged this exoplanet, one of the coldest ever seen. The team observed Epsilon Indi Ab using the coronagraph on Webb’s Mid-Infrared Instrument. Only a few tens of exoplanets have ever been directly imaged by space- and ground-based observatories. These observations are ushering in a completely new era in exoplanet research.

  • How Far Are the Closest Exoplanets with Life?
    Oct 11 2023
    To increase our chances of finding life on other planets, a systematic approach needs to be adopted, one that applies reasonable assumptions that maximize our success. So, an important question becomes, where should we point our telescopes? Show Notes Available at https://exoplanetradio.com/science/closest-exoplanets-with-life/.
