do the same I want to take all of you on
do the same I want to take all of you on a journey through space exploring
a journey through space exploring
a journey through space exploring exoplanets black holes and beyond
exoplanets black holes and beyond
exoplanets black holes and beyond because I think these topics can help us
because I think these topics can help us
because I think these topics can help us answer some of the biggest questions we
answer some of the biggest questions we
answer some of the biggest questions we have today so question one are we alone
have today so question one are we alone
have today so question one are we alone in the universe
in the universe
in the universe I think earth-like exoplanets might have
I think earth-like exoplanets might have
I think earth-like exoplanets might have the answer these plants are fascinating
the answer these plants are fascinating
the answer these plants are fascinating because they orbit stars outside of our
because they orbit stars outside of our
because they orbit stars outside of our solar system but they have
solar system but they have
solar system but they have characteristics similar earth therefore
characteristics similar earth therefore
characteristics similar earth therefore they have the possibilities of hosting
they have the possibilities of hosting
they have the possibilities of hosting life not one but seven seven planets
life not one but seven seven planets
life not one but seven seven planets were discovered just last week and this
were discovered just last week and this
were discovered just last week and this system is called the Trappist one system
system is called the Trappist one system
system is called the Trappist one system so what’s the big deal well all seven of
so what’s the big deal well all seven of
so what’s the big deal well all seven of these planets lie in the Goldilocks zone
these planets lie in the Goldilocks zone
these planets lie in the Goldilocks zone of their solar system meaning they’re at
of their solar system meaning they’re at
of their solar system meaning they’re at the perfect distance such that it’s not
the perfect distance such that it’s not
the perfect distance such that it’s not too hot or too cold therefore there’s a
too hot or too cold therefore there’s a
too hot or too cold therefore there’s a possibility of water there for life if
possibility of water there for life if
possibility of water there for life if you think about it maybe one of these
you think about it maybe one of these
you think about it maybe one of these seven plants actually has life earth
seven plants actually has life earth
seven plants actually has life earth with just one planet and our goal one
with just one planet and our goal one
with just one planet and our goal one planet in our Goldilocks system and it
planet in our Goldilocks system and it
planet in our Goldilocks system and it has life to the fact that they’re seven
has life to the fact that they’re seven
has life to the fact that they’re seven is very promising another planet I find

is not a big number scientists can
is not a big number scientists can actually observe and study this planet
actually observe and study this planet
actually observe and study this planet and hopefully answer the question one
and hopefully answer the question one
and hopefully answer the question one day are we alone in the universe
day are we alone in the universe
day are we alone in the universe question two do black holes hold the
question two do black holes hold the
question two do black holes hold the mysteries of the universe now I find
