Astronomers have begun regular observations of Barnard's star (as requested through AAVSO) and we look forward to using your data to support the search
for nearby exoplanets.
Around the time that TESS compiles a list
of nearby exoplanets at the end of its two - year baseline mission, astronomers may have a powerful new eye in the sky to examine the newfound worlds in detail.
With the right technology, and the right telescope, we could soon
search nearby exoplanets for signs of life, and tell the cosmic story of how this life came to be.
Power in Numbers Some astronomers are taking an even more bare - bones approach, skipping the large space missions in favor of networks of smaller scopes to
spot nearby exoplanets.
Three recently
discovered nearby exoplanets may not be as habitable as they first looked, as their hot young star could have left them high and dry
Mark Swain, an astronomer at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, Calif., and his colleagues used a three - meter telescope in Hawaii to take infrared spectra of the exoplanet HD 189733 b, a
relatively nearby exoplanet some 63 light - years distant that was discovered at a French observatory in 2005.
SETI pioneer Jill Tarter and Berkeley researcher Dan Werthimer talk about how the discovery
of nearby exoplanets is inspiring new efforts to gain info about these galactic neighbors.
The PLANETS Telescope is a pathfinder project for even more sophisticated instruments that will find life and civilizations
on nearby exoplanets.
The message is headed for
a nearby exoplanet named GJ 273b.
In this episode:
Nearby Exoplanet.
TESS will survey a much larger swath of sky than its predecessor to uncover a new population of
nearby exoplanets that scientists can scan with forthcoming telescopes.
But in the case of the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT), an instrument that promises unprecedented images of everything from the most distant galaxies to
nearby exoplanets, builders may have to settle for second best.
Astronomers use an instrument known as an «coronagraph» to isolate the reflected starlight bouncing off
a nearby exoplanet.
