Kepler's New Universe
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
Kepler has opened up a new universe. Only about 20 years ago, we didn't know if there were any other planets around any other stars besides our own, now we know we live in a galaxy that contains more planets than stars. Every star in our galaxy has on average 1.6 planets in orbit around it. If you want more videos on astronomy and space, make sure to subscribe to Deep Astronomy.

A galaxy that has more planets than stars........yeah we're not alone, I'm just gonna call that right now.
-
It seems to me that galaxy collisions or mergers should create lots of rogue planets. Planets that during the collision process have their stars pulled away from them.
-
Tony you are absolutely the best video presenter on YouTube hands down.
-
He says that more than anything we're discovering rocky earth-like planets. But isn't that simply because those types of planets generally orbit their stars closer than Gas-giants and so the chance of witnessing a transit is much higher...?
-
Either talking or music, but both together is just disturbing. All this music everywhere distrois the wonderful video.
-
That is a lot of chances for life.
-
When it says 9 billion planets that are potentially like earth is that just talking about our galaxy?
-
The way I understand it the axis of stars are not aligned with the rest of the stars in the galaxy and are independent of the axis of the galaxy itself. So many of these stars that show no dip in brightness might just have their planets not crossing the direct line of sight axis to our telescopes. That is to say that maybe we are looking at a stars pole and planets orbit around it at a perpendicular plane, so we won't see a dip.

Outstanding video :)
-
Beautifully written and narrated. Amazing!
-
Excellent piece of work.

"We launch telescopes into space with humble expectations to trying answer not so humble questions."
That's gold. -
Keep Looking Up!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE IT
-
I miss your videos so much. Hope there are more on the way! Your narration is so clear and soothing. :)
-
I love it every time how 'Keep looking up.' with inspirational music playing is at the end of each video - it's just so great to see because I'm really curious as to when we will finally have super advanced space travel letting us go up to speeds faster than light. Sadly as of right now, we can only dream because I don't think it will happen in this lifetime. Sad face.

beautifully done.
-
This gives me so much ASMR his voice is just so relaxing!
-
Kepler? Isn't the James Webb space telescope supposed to be the most advanced, I've been away with vet training, love astronomy though. When will the Webb telescope,be launched? I thot it was gonna happen around 2014? Im confused lol
-
Did Kepler telescope break and is permanently offline now?
-
Its all just a trick to test the faithful. Death to the nonbelievers!
