Excelente y Hermoso Vídeo, los descubrimientos astronómicos son grandes y quien sabe que nos espera, espero algún día poder trabajar en alguna instalación astronómica como el VLT o ALMA, seria mi meta. Gracias por hacer estos vídeos.

OK, glass half - empty guy here - They always talk about these exo - planets like they still exist intact. They can't be sure that they weren't pulled apart by the gravitational fields of their parent stars, or some other fate ages ago, yet they talk about them as if they're still in existence, present - tense. I guess they're just being optimistic.

We need some of the world's billionaires to start funding more ALMA type projects instead of buying (or as well as buying) Premier League football teams!  The pace of discovery would be massively accelerated with the funding made available from some of the super-rich.  What about tax-breaks for funding science projects.
