Moons Beyond the Solar System

Most of the planets in the Solar System have moons. We have discovered almost 200 in our Solar System alone, and so we expect that the Milky Way is teeming with moons- perhaps more moons than planets and stars. With this many, it greatly increases the number of worlds in the galaxy which could support life- and so we are keen to find them. However, they are so distant and dark that detecting extrasolar moons, or "exomoons", is a tremendous challenge.

I like to watch your vids before bed. your voice is so calming. and nothing dwarfs our daily sorrows more than the realization how tiny and insignificant we are. you deliver top-notch content with every video

5% of the sea has been explored but 100% of SEA's channel has been explored by me

[MajorKitty]

Just imagine coming across something as weird a massive super Earth type of planet with a gas dwarf.

I’ve learned more about space by watching this channel than I did in School... or the Discovery channel for that matter.

[RPERIARTWORKS]

These videos are catnip for me. Truth to power I replay most of your space bids when I'm drawing.

Thanks for these, man...

[djaneczko]

Congratulations on your education, I hadn't had a chance to express my appreciation for all you do and all your hard work! I like and share all of your content. You are a gem on YouTube!

Yavin 4, the home of the rebel base in Star Wars: A New Hope (1977), was moon orbiting a gas giant, a red one.
I dont know what the scientific thinking was on habitable moons in the mid-70s, but it was a great choice by George Lucas.

[Galaxxyss]

I know barely anything about space, but yet somehow these videos just captivate me in a way I can’t describe.

Incredible job, Sea.

You and the guy from Astrum are becoming two of my favorite space science youtubers. I thought you were the same guy for a while

[torontoBluejays]

Always look forward to your videos! They are professional and better than 99% of educational stuff on TV. Cheers from Canada, and GO RAPTORS!

[MaxIvoWes]

Your voice is so calming, love it. Fits perfectly with the videos you make :))

[BLUEWITHERDRAGON]

I absolutely love astronomy i have dreams of wanting to discover moons and planets of the galaxy. I'm already studying Astronomy at university. i love this channel thank you SEA for uploading useful videos. These videos help me a lot thank you so much 😎😁

[MrEnjoivolcom]

Absolutely, one of THE, BEST channels on the platform!

[John-edbr]

this channel is so underrated man.... you're doing god's work.

[BetaSpydog]

Can i just say. His voice is the most soothing thing in this planet. Like I can fall asleep to this every night.

[TheExoplanetsChannel]

Great video. I'm sure some exomoons out there are *_habitable_*

[nuclearshorts]

When you discover an extrasolar moon: *hek*

[miamimouse]

SEA=Space is Enormous and Amazing, love the channel sir. 🙏🏾

[saltyassassin]

This has quickly become one of my favorite channels.... Content is always spot on.

[taylorschwarz]

I took a fat nap bc of your voice, woke up the most rested I’ve been in a while, and rewound the video to watch it properly, learning about ways to discover moons I’d never thought about. You are the multitool of youtube videos.

Also, I’m dying at the Hubble telescope part.
