Astronomers Just Found An Ocean-Covered Super-Earth And It's Amazing
Ғылым және технология
As the James Webb Space Telescope begins its exploration of distant exoplanets, astronomers have found a potential water-covered ocean world about 100 light years away in the Draco constellation. The planet has been named TOI-1452 b and was discovered using NASA's TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite).
One of the most fundamental reasons life exists on Earth is the abundance of liquid water on its surface. Evidence suggests that life probably began on Earth in the ocean at least 3.5 billion years ago. So when searching for alien life beyond our planet, these water worlds are expected to be the best shot.
So how did astronomers discover this distant exoplanet? How do they know it harbors a planet-wide ocean of liquid water? Finally, and most importantly, what are the chances that life exists in this water world?
The 24th episode of the Sunday Discovery Series answers these questions in detail.

You imagine it to be “clean”, but much of earth’s history our waters and atmosphere have been polluted - either by widespread volcanism, or the dust from a huge asteroid impact. In fact, the oxygen in our atmosphere, was a “pollutant” made by newly-formed photosynthetic creatures. This “pollutant” accumulated in the atmosphere, and was severely toxic to the old anaerobic life that existed before. The only reason life persisted, was because it “learned” to use this oxygen pollutant to it’s advantage. Please don’t think that just because humans are not there, that this water-world is pollution free!

Too far to resolve geographical features. This planet is 600 light years. That's ridiculously far to see anything
Red dwarfs are very active stars, with turbulent surfaces which spew flares much more and much more intensely than the sun does. A planet close enough to be in their "habitable" zones would have their atmospheres stripped by powerful radioactivity and solar wind. If this is a "water world", its entire surface is boiling due to lack of air pressure, and the water vapor is being stripped away just like any other gas.
Nicely done... Hollywood.

If we ever found a habitable planet with absolutely no sign of life, it'd be fun to add a bunch of microscopic organisms just to study evolution. But its very likely that anywhere with an active mantle and liquid water there could easily be life, since earths common ancestor came from and lives in the volcanic vents at the bottom of the ocean. Of course there are plenty of other ways for life to exist and I love the prospect of there being essentially mermaids that are as evolved as we are.

Wikipedia says: Letters are given in order of each planet's discovery around the parent star, so that the first planet discovered in a system is designated "b" (the parent star is considered to be "a")
amaszing
I'm probably misunderstanding all this astronomy stuff, but, if that star has contracted and cooled, and the exoplanet is very close to it, doesn't that suggest that the planet had a far greater circumference at some point, and was likewise, significantly hotter. So, if that was the case, a water world that close to its parent srar should have been scoured of everything on its surface long since, due to its proximity. But, given it is where it is, there seem to be just two possiblities to choose from: A- that the planet moved into a closer to its star as the star dimmed, remaining in its goldilocks zone. Which indicates, at least to my unturored mind, conscious agency of some kind. B- that the planet was introduced into the system after the host star had cooled sufficiently to make occupying that space a viable proposition. Which also suggests, either the act of an external agency or, a series of coencidences of such mind-boggling number, proportions, and complexity that one may as well say God done it. PS. If I'm insane, please don't tell me.

Red dwarfs are pretty much just smaller stars that aren't as bright, but if I understand correctly are the most common type of star in the galaxy. So this star hasn't gone through it's death throws yet, but you're right that would not be good news for nearby planets when that happens.

The star is a red dwarf, doesn’t mean it contracted and cooled. It is extremely cool and dim compared to our sun, it probably was never as bright and large. What’s interesting is that the planet has 11 day revolution around the star meaning it is most probably tidally locked due to its closeness to the star. In an ocean world this would mean massive waves and storms between the cooler night and hotter day sides of it due to temperature differences.

You have to be kidding.
Thing is though, red dwarf stars tend to mega-flare, so how could so much surface water survive, with the planet being that close to its star?

Also no guarantee the planet has a magnetic field strong enough to protect life, also a critical parameter.
How would we measure time if we were able to travel and live on a planet that takes 11 days to rotate around a sun? What would that calendar look like? Would we still use "Earth Time"?
Saying it is like Earth is like saying a burrito is like a banana.
This is how WE will eventually discover alien life. Through a telescope.

Okay, now we just need a very, very fast spaceship…

Why?
I'll buy it for my first outdoor swimming pool.
100 light years away!! Forget it!! Just to visit the nearest star to Earth - 4.3 light years away - would take around 70,000 years at the speed of the Voyager spacecraft! A return trip would take about the time humans started to develop a prefrontal lobe! Speed of light? Impossible - and at that speed hitting a grain of sand creates a kinetic energy equivalent to 400 tons of TNT! You could kiss your spacecraft (and your ass) goodbye!!

I have no doubt we'll invent technology that could get us there far, far faster. Maybe even "faster" than the speed of light. There are at least a couple of ways, in theory, to get from one place to another very quickly without actually violating the speed of light. At any rate, we will certainly have technology that can reach a quarter of the speed of light, at least over a period or time, and with relatively low acceleration. But so what if it takes us thousands of years to reach a planet? We need to be sure the planet has life, but if we do know, it would be more than worth sending an AI probe. It wouldn't have to return. It could transmit most of what we need to learn. It would be worth doing just for future generations.

@@jamesaritchie1 To go faster than the speed of light would violate the causality rule - so faster than light will never be possible. When you say we could reach a quarter of the speed of light - we may, but not for long! At that speed - if the spaceship encountered the equivalent mass of a grain of sand the kinetic energy involved in the collision would be equal to around 100 kg of high explosive - and there is lots of material floating around out there! Space is not a vacuum. Finally, the average lifespan of any mammalian species is around 3 million years - I wonder if humanity will be around in 1,000 years!

Sort of like....the Free Energy Magnetic Generator; when NeoDymium magnets then use the power produced to Amplify the Copper Wire Windings also !!! The result, a Powerful Electric Motor !!!
Imagine what other life be like on that Ocean World?
I waited so long thinking the James Webb Telescope was supposed to do this kind of research.
Realising the science advancement that finding a planet and its properties from earth becomes more interesting than the planet itself
The galaxy is analogous to a coral reef, teeming with life . We are certainly not alone. Further, the Hubble deep field view shows visible space teeming with galaxies.
Yes, we'll be there any moment now...
I am 69 I need another 20 years Mars first then being able to travel from Mars to other planets, I might see the start of this era here's hoping. For the young or especially your children you will witness amazing things in the future.
My dream is to see each and every planet exoplanet?moon and exomoon like a tourist visit
These videos are computer generated idealized images. These worlds are so distant few can grasp the enormity of space. These worlds are far to tiny to see with the most powerful telescopes. Most are know by their tiny gravitational effect on their star. The chemistry is deduced by the spectra lines representing elements and compounds. Some claims are simply false and wishful imaginations. These have been great accomplishments,
Guys the most unbelievable things are yet to be seen 😁😁
Sadly I doubt whether we will be able to ever take advantage of this knowledge.

Agreed. It is too far away. Maybe that's a good thing?
