is there life beyond earth the solar system.
00:03 - 00:08
The spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, What does it consist of?
00:09 - 00:15
The electromagnetic radiation spectrum consist of radiation microwaves, infrared visible
00:17 - 00:22
ultraviolet, X ray and gamma ray radiation, microwaves and infrared
00:24 - 00:28
radiation are things like radio stations, things like our phones,
00:29 - 00:34
tV and any kind of radio waves that can go
00:34 - 00:37
through humans buildings and that that aren't harmful.
00:38 - 00:41
Radio waves are also emitted by stars and gases in
00:41 - 00:48
space. Microwaves, microwaves are things like like a microwave that
00:48 - 00:51
heat up, that heats up your food or to cook
00:51 - 00:55
your popcorn, but it's also used by astronomers to learn
00:55 - 00:57
about the structure of nearby Galaxies.
00:58 - 01:02
Infrared infrared are things like night vision goggles that pick
01:02 - 01:05
up the infrared light that is emitted from your skin
01:05 - 01:10
and objects with heat in french also helps map the
01:11 - 01:14
dust. What is meant by the dust is irregularly shaped
01:15 - 01:19
grains of carbon or silicate, measuring a fraction of microns
01:20 - 01:22
across which are found between stars.
01:23 - 01:27
As you can see here, radio waves are there waves
01:28 - 01:31
are very long and stretched out, showing that it's harmless.
01:32 - 01:37
But as you move through microwaves, infrared visible light, X
01:37 - 01:41
ray and gamma, they've become very penetrating and become very
01:41 - 01:47
harmful visible light, ultraviolet X ray and gamma ray, visible
01:48 - 01:53
light, visible light are things like fireflies, light bugs and
01:54 - 01:56
anything that your eyes can detect during the night.
01:56 - 01:59
Our eyes can see stars in the sky and this
01:59 - 02:02
is why all stars emit visible light.
02:03 - 02:06
Ultraviolet ultraviolet is emitted by the Sun.
02:06 - 02:09
This is the reason people 10 or burn it is
02:09 - 02:14
hot objects in space which UV radiation as well, X
02:14 - 02:15
ray, X rays.
02:16 - 02:17
We've all come across X rays before.
02:17 - 02:21
These are things uh dentist doctors or maybe even in
02:21 - 02:24
airport security X rays are used to see through things.
02:26 - 02:27
I used to see through things or in things.
02:29 - 02:31
But it's not really used on earth here.
02:32 - 02:32
After these purposes.
02:33 - 02:37
X rays are hot hot gases in the universe.
02:38 - 02:38
Also emit X rays.
02:40 - 02:44
Gamma ray gamma ray is a penetrating form arising from
02:44 - 02:46
the radioactive decay of atomic nuclear.
02:47 - 02:51
They gamma ray produced the hottest and most energetic objects
02:51 - 02:55
in the universe, such as neutron neutron stars include poll
02:55 - 03:00
pulsars, supernova explosions in any end up regions around the
03:00 - 03:05
black hole mission and absorption.
03:06 - 03:10
Yeah. And this is a line spectrum of emission and
03:10 - 03:14
absorption and also continuous, continuous is probably the easiest to
03:14 - 03:17
understand as it just goes right through and you don't
03:17 - 03:21
lose energy or your energy level doesn't go to lower
03:21 - 03:22
or higher.
03:22 - 03:23
It goes right through.
03:24 - 03:29
But if you go if absorb but the absorption, the
03:29 - 03:36
absorption spectra on the other hand, takes in atoms, It
03:36 - 03:39
absorbs atoms when the hot black.
03:39 - 03:43
When the hot black body emits light energy or anything
03:44 - 03:44
like that.
03:44 - 03:50
The hydrogen gas takes energy from the atoms take energy
03:50 - 03:51
from what is being emitted.
03:52 - 03:56
This is why this little black lines here show that
03:56 - 04:00
there is the energy level has gone down, down, down
04:00 - 04:00
and down.
04:01 - 04:06
But on a mission, on a mission is the opposite
04:06 - 04:06
of absorption.
04:08 - 04:10
A mission a mission emits light.
04:10 - 04:14
It gives light, which means it's energy level is going
04:14 - 04:16
up as you can see here.
04:16 - 04:25
These are the lines that are showing and yeah, how
04:25 - 04:30
are emission lines and absorption lines are produced when electrons
04:31 - 04:33
move from a higher energy level to a level one
04:33 - 04:34
photons are emitted.
04:35 - 04:38
An admission and an emission line can be seen in
04:38 - 04:43
the spectrum, absorption lines are seen when electrons absorb photons
04:44 - 04:45
and moved to a higher energy level.
04:47 - 04:50
The lines of on the atomic spectrum relate to electronic
04:51 - 04:54
transmissions between the energy levels.
04:54 - 04:58
If the electron drops and energy level of photon is
04:58 - 05:00
released, resulting in the emission line.
05:00 - 05:06
And if the electron absorbs a photon and rises in
05:06 - 05:11
energy level, an absorption line is a is observed on
05:12 - 05:22
the spectrum specter spectroscopy and how planets are, can be
05:22 - 05:25
identified. Spectroscopy.
05:27 - 05:34
The science of spectroscopy is quite sophisticated, sophisticated from spectral
05:34 - 05:38
lines, astronomers can determine not only the element, but the
05:38 - 05:41
temperature and density of the element in the star.
05:42 - 05:44
The spectral line also can tell us about any magnetic
05:45 - 05:45
field of the star.
05:46 - 05:48
The width of the line can tell us how fast
05:48 - 05:53
the material is moving through the refraction of light by
05:53 - 05:58
prism or through its diffraction by a diffraction grating and
05:59 - 06:02
the lights from a source is spread out into its
06:02 - 06:07
different visual wavelengths from red to blue because each element
06:08 - 06:12
immense or absorbs light only at a specific wavelength The
06:12 - 06:15
chemical composition of stars can be determined.
06:16 - 06:21
How can planets be identified the dot, the do pla.
06:21 - 06:24
The Doppler technique is a good method for discovering exoplanets.
06:26 - 06:29
It uses the Doppler effect to analyze the motion and
06:29 - 06:33
properties of the star and planet, both the planet and
06:33 - 06:35
star orbiting around a common center of mass.
06:36 - 06:39
As you can see in this diagram, there is the
06:40 - 06:42
center of mass, that little gray dot and the planet
06:43 - 06:44
is the little blue dot.
06:44 - 06:51
But the star can yeah, but the star can be
06:51 - 06:56
detected by its motion by the red and blue lines.
06:57 - 07:01
As you can see the red lines, wavelengths mean that
07:01 - 07:07
the star is moving away away from the planet and
07:08 - 07:12
if it's moving towards it's moving.
07:12 - 07:14
It's a blue wave length.
07:19 - 07:24
Mhm conditions for life beyond earth, the solar system habitable
07:25 - 07:27
zones. What is the habitable zone?
07:28 - 07:31
The standard definition is that is that the habitable zone
07:32 - 07:36
is a range of distances from a star in which
07:36 - 07:37
liquid water could be found.
07:39 - 07:43
Liquid water is a necessity is is necessary for all
07:43 - 07:44
life on earth.
07:45 - 07:47
The notion of a habitable zone is founded by the
07:47 - 07:51
assumption that life is beyond earth that beyond earth would
07:51 - 07:52
require it as well.
07:53 - 08:02
This is fairly cautious because this is a and definition
08:03 - 08:06
because the planet's sores surface temperature is affected by a
08:06 - 08:12
variety of lemon of elements including its atmosphere, glasshouse gases
08:12 - 08:17
and reflectivity around 40 planets have been discovered that are
08:17 - 08:21
roughly earth sized and orbit within the same within the
08:21 - 08:24
habitable zones of their stars, including the nearest X extrasolar
08:26 - 08:34
planet, pro asthma, center Century B and three planets in
08:34 - 08:39
the tres pit trap pissed one system, as you can
08:39 - 08:44
see here in this diagram, the green highlighted part is
08:44 - 08:45
the habitable zones.
08:45 - 08:48
The red part is when it's too hot and the
08:48 - 08:51
cold part is when it's too cold, even though the
08:52 - 08:54
trappist one is found to be in the too cold
08:55 - 08:57
air like area.
08:59 - 09:03
It does, it is within the habitable zone of their
09:04 - 09:08
um like orbits within the habitable zone of their stars.
09:11 - 09:14
A planet in the habitable zone when a star is
09:14 - 09:18
too young, may substantial, quickly, substantial, quickly become too hot.
09:19 - 09:21
Other planets could become too cold for liquid water to
09:22 - 09:24
exist when there starts to young, but might warm up
09:25 - 09:28
enough to have liquid water on their surface leader as
09:28 - 09:34
their star increases as you can see here increases in
09:34 - 09:38
age. But as you can see here, these are planets
09:38 - 09:44
here um these are all the planets that are found
09:45 - 09:48
to be habitable habit, had habitable.
09:50 - 09:56
How can planets be identified temperature and energy astronomers have
09:57 - 10:03
also utilized climate stimulations Simulations to conclude that additional extrasolar
10:04 - 10:08
planets such as copper 452 B could have surface water
10:09 - 10:10
given the correct climate conditions.
10:12 - 10:17
Internal energy sources like radioactive decay and tidal heating can
10:17 - 10:21
also heat heat the planet surface to the point where
10:21 - 10:22
when water melts.
10:24 - 10:28
These energy sources can also keep underground water reserves afloat,
10:29 - 10:33
allowing planets to harbor life even though it's beyond it's
10:34 - 10:36
beyond its star's habitable zone.
10:36 - 10:41
For example, her earth has a very vast underground by
10:41 - 10:44
atmosphere. I'll buy it.
10:45 - 10:49
It also virtually entirely, it's virtually entirely made up of
10:49 - 10:52
basic species that can thrive in low oxygen situations.
10:54 - 10:57
Nouveau pa jupiter's moon has a liquid water ocean 10
10:58 - 11:02
tens of kilometers beneath its surface that could support life
11:05 - 11:05
you've read about.
11:07 - 11:10
You've roper is one is home to one of the
11:10 - 11:12
largest oceans in the solar system.
11:12 - 11:15
All the most of its water lies underneath the surface
11:15 - 11:19
of this world heating it caused by the tidal forces
11:19 - 11:23
of jupiter keeps large proportions of these ocean liquids increasing
11:24 - 11:27
changes the chances of life evolving them.
11:28 - 11:31
I just think that Europa's ice shell is 15 to
11:31 - 11:35
25 kilometers thick of floating the ocean 60 to 150
11:36 - 11:37
kilometers deep.
11:37 - 11:41
So while Europa is 1/4 the diameter of earth, it's
11:41 - 11:45
ocean may contain twice as much water as all of
11:45 - 11:52
earth is as all ifs ocean combined, life on other
11:52 - 11:56
planets. Places where life may be hiding in the solar
11:57 - 12:02
system. These are these are top 10 planets where people
12:02 - 12:06
have found that earth may be hiding this.
12:06 - 12:14
This is the list origins of life in the universe.
12:17 - 12:20
The origins of life in the universe as having come
12:20 - 12:26
from organic molecules in space, organic molecules are known to
12:26 - 12:31
exist in star forming regions and in proto planetary discs
12:32 - 12:33
where planets are formed.
12:34 - 12:37
It was a natural consequence that astronomers considered a relationship
12:38 - 12:42
between organic molecules in space and the original original of
12:42 - 12:45
life. Some of these molecules were building blocks of proto
12:47 - 12:56
cellular, good structures which is self absorbed, self assemble from
12:57 - 12:57
M. M.
12:58 - 13:04
Fulfill IQ compounds into vessels, vessels, vessels and other structures
13:05 - 13:08
such as my my cells and multi layers.
13:10 - 13:14
Researchers from the University of Sherbrooke in Quebec Canada have
13:15 - 13:18
just produced more evidence that life could have begun in
13:18 - 13:22
space. The research team assured that some organic molecules in
13:22 - 13:24
the form of building blocks in life could have developed
13:25 - 13:30
icy films subject subjected to radiation within a vacuum, opening
13:30 - 13:33
the possibility that life on this planet might actually be
13:34 - 13:37
X extraterrestrial in origin.
13:38 - 13:40
There is no proof that life began in space, but
13:41 - 13:44
the film does provide evidence that building blocks of life
13:44 - 13:45
may come from space.
13:48 - 13:52
Yeah, originating on earth Here, I've got a small video
13:53 - 13:56
explaining elements and compounds and how on Earth
