Scientists from #MPSGoettingen are contributing to and organizing part of the program of the Annual meeting of the German Astronomical Society #ag2025goerlitz

https://ag2025.astronomische-gesellschaft.de/program/index.php

In particular, the splinter session on "Observation and Characterization of Extrasolar Planets" is co-organised by @DrReneHeller https://ag2025.astronomische-gesellschaft.de/view_splinter.php?session=ExoPlanets

and the splinter session on "Protoplanetary disks and planet formation at high-angular resolution" is co-organised by @astrojoanna https://ag2025.astronomische-gesellschaft.de/view_splinter.php?session=PlanetFormation

Looking forward to the line-up of talks over the next coming days!

Now brainstorming: a world with Earth-like raw materials...but put in the radiation belt of Upsilon Andromedae. Results? Stunningly alien.

As time goes on, new telescopes like the #JamesWebbSpaceTelescope, the #Earth’s premier space science observatory that launched in 2021, will further expand our understanding of #Exoplanets. Who knows what kind of #ExtrasolarPlanets we will find next!

30 years ago, we did not even know #Planets could exist around other #Stars. Now, we know of thousands—and some of those planets are possibly habitable. New #Exoplanet discoveries are shaking up the field of planetary formation and causing us to rethink our ideas of what stars could host planets and how planets form.

Photo: This artist’s concept compares #Earth (left) to the new planet, called #Kepler452b.

#NASA considers this #Exoplanet and its #Star to be the closest analog to Earth and #Sun so far. Though it’s 60% larger than Earth in diameter, Kepler-452b is thought to be rocky and within the habitable zone of a G-type star similar to ours.

Some of the biggest questions we humans like to ask are, “Is there life out there in the universe?” and “Are there other solar systems out there with planets just like ours?” To answer these questions, astronomers have built larger & more advanced telescopes to try to find #Planets outside of our own neighborhood, specifically those similar to our own world.
