NASA confirms 5,000 Planets – and Counting

Using powerful telescopes, in space and on the ground, astronomers have now confirmed more than 5,000 exoplanets – planets beyond our solar system. But it’s just a fraction of the likely hundreds of billions of such planets in our Milky Way galaxy.

As current and future telescopes continue to make discoveries, we may someday find potentially habitable planets – or even inhabited worlds. Many more discoveries await.

That's the coolest thing I have ever seen!!! Hats off to you NASA!!!

[doctorcraycray]

i saw on their youtube the video of the exoplanets they found through the ages and i have to say, they did an amazing job making that

[mizzcrazygal]

there is no way were alone on the planet. i bet there is life on other planets in the differnt solar systems

[dllemm]

Excellent work. I wonder if we'll a couple of zeros with James Webb?

I love the kepler telescope - definitely the coolest one I know!

[bunnatang]

excellent video but i think the graphics moves too fast. should be 2x slower.

Good Work NASA, Hats off to your marvelous team. Carry On.

[extropiantranshuman]

yay I definitely helped - I participated in 3 exoplanet projects. When I talked to people about them, they didn't know what I meant. I bet I helped find at least a couple.

I can’t wait till we explore all the planets

[Search_bloc]

I hope we find some form of life somewhere out there

Great...but man will never in his time be able to travel to even the closet one. Light years ...in fact will man ever be able to exit our solar think so....and if he exits...then what...go light years to the nearest one....Never....Distances far to great.

as I told NASA and SETI, every star in milky way has at list 7 planet and many moons. your figure is assumption. our is from our ancient archive based on study of our arm of milky way facts. Ferydoon Shirazi, MG1

Welp, here's hoping that the next 5k turn up a habitable planet. Although, I worry humans will destroy that one too.

Thank you Lord for your creation !!! Amen🙏

Abraham and Moses explained this clearly long ago in the pearl of great price

[karimhalim]

This is old news they found this out like twenty years ago. 5000 planets means they already found 👽

[Diago]

Wow I want a future of girls like this videos like men

[omarshepherd]

READ YOUR BIBLE IT STATES OTHER WORLDS.

Monkeys still believe in space, guess we never evolved.😐

This is, of course, fantastic. But while looking beyond our planet is something we need to do let’s not forget the possibilities that exist in ourselves. Namely the finding that we have an extra brain located in our gut which was brought to light by Dr. Michael Gershon in his book The Second Brain. Having a dual-brain system, one that thinks things and another that feels things, is a game changer that could kick the head-brain centric perspective of psychology to the curb.
