#extrasolarplanets — Public Fediverse posts

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.

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.
