Scientists Discover Planets More Habitable Than Earth

Just about 30 years ago, we didn’t have any scientific proof of a planet outside our solar system. Today, thanks to advances in technology and scientific research, we've discovered over 5,300 exoplanets - alien worlds that are out there waiting to be explored.
At first, these discoveries mostly involved large gas giants, but as our capabilities have expanded, we've started to uncover smaller, Earth-like exoplanets. Scientists have already found more than 50 exoplanets with masses similar to Earth, and over 800 worlds with radius less than one half times that of Earth.
We don’t know of many such planets orbiting in the habitable zone of their parent stars - where the conditions are just right to support life. But that's already starting to change.
As our search for habitable planets continues, we're beginning to discover entire planetary systems with more than one potentially habitable world. And we already know about at least one such system in our cosmic neighborhood.

Crazy we're able to confidently describe planets that are lightyears away, yet we don't even know what lurks in the deepest parts of our own oceans.
-
Imagine living in a solar system where there's 4 habitable planets and people travel between them on holiday or immigrate from one to another for a better life
-
Crazy thing to me is that we’re seeing these planets that are millions of light years away. Meaning that were seeing them from a million years before the time it actually is. For all we know, now they could be red fiery planets.

I hope this channel grows and stays around a long time. I'm sick with Covid and am having the worst time sleeping. This is fascinating and relaxing enough to distract me from being cranky and ill. ❤
-
It's actually absurd to think we're alone in the universe.
-
Learning about all this makes me realise just how perfect the conditions of our solar system, sun, even our own planet is. We’ve found thousands of planets out there and none are even close to as perfect for life as earth. The odds of our planet being so perfect for life must be insane.
-
Very good descriptions and graphics. An enjoyable presentation.
-
Although red dwarfs are smaller and cooler than the sun, they tend to spin faster and be more active. This means they give off a lot of radiation that would be harmful for life on any planets that might orbit them.
-
The more I see videos like this, the more I’m starting to become convinced that humans may not be able to survive somewhere else even with relatively habitable conditions around those stars…For instance those other places mentioned have different gravity levels, different power structure of the stars, different atmospheric pressure etc….Every fiber of our being is in direct relation to the variables/settings of Earth. It likely wouldn’t translate somewhere else. Our bones, blood, skin, muscles etc would all be affected in a negative way. Earth is our home.
-
The thing that really gets me about this is that we're only identifying planets as habitable zone based on where life we're used to could exist. There could be life that we could never even perceive, and that life could also never perceive us.
-
Perfect voice for narration. So calm on the ears.
-
Keep researching and we might get to suprized ourselves later sooner.
We could use a sense new Reinheritance comforts and new planet retrogrades.
Awesome sharing grace❤️🤍💙 -
Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying

This makes me remember to never take a day for granted. What we have here on earth is truly remarkable. We are very lucky
-
The Goldilocks Zone all depends on the type of Sun you have. The Goldilocks Zone is different around each Star. Bigger, hotter Stars like the Sun, a G-type Star, have a wider habitable zone, while smaller Red Dwarfs confine habitable planets to a narrower range.
-
I love how they say they found planets more habitable then earth in the title but what they say in the videos doesn't even sound like it. I'm not saying there is or isnt any life on those planets and maybe there is but im just saying maybe the title should be changed. I mean they say in the video that those planets they mentioned are potentially habitable. But the title says they are more habitable.
-
I watched to the end waiting to hear about the planet that was more habitable than ours but still waiting!
-
Even if we as humans have discovered potentially habitatable planets outside of our solar system and even galaxy, there's no way EVER in our lifetime we'll ever get there.!!

My biggest thing about these videos is it just shows how much we focus on specific planets. While I know we are searching for planets that could host life for humans, we are dismissing other planets that could host other life.
We don't even know if any of the Gas Giants have life on their planet cause we can't go there. There is no surface (or at least no known surface) and the gravity would be too much after a certain point is reached. Yet that doesn't mean no life is there at all. Just like how different life has adapted to places on Earth, the same could be said for other planets.
This would explain why we haven't found any signs of life outside our own planet. We are only looking for specific conditions that support life. Now you might be asking a particular question. If life is out there, why haven't they made contact with us? The same reason would apply to them. If their planet structure is deems\ed as "inhabitable" to us, they may deem our planet structure to be "inhabitable" for them and thus rule our planet out as a place for life. -
I refuse to believe we were the only other intelligent life in this universe. Even if it was billions of years ago on another planet in another galaxy, I like to imagine some other intelligent life existed.
