On March 21, 2022, the number of known exoplanets passed 5,000 according to the NASA Exoplanet Archive. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yv4DbU1CWAY">The music is created by playing a note for each newly discovered world.</a> The pitch of the note indicates the relative orbital period of the planet. Planets that take a longer time to orbit their stars are heard as lower notes, while planets that orbit more quickly are heard as higher notes.post:www.metafilter.com,2022:site.194801Sat, 26 Mar 2022 06:35:06 -0800adept256spaceplanetstelescopesexoplanetsnasaBy: zamboni

My first year of high school, there was no proof of planets outside the solar system. Five thousand seems like a lot, but maybe we have 100 billion in our galaxy, and there are as many galaxies.
It seems almost egotistical to presume we're alone.comment:www.metafilter.com,2022:site.194801-8226476Sat, 26 Mar 2022 08:17:09 -0800adept256By: qntm

Some of those exoplanets are actually brown dwarfs. I mean, if you're going to count 2MASS J01225093-2439505 b, GSC 06214-00210 b, HIP 75056 A b, USco1621 b, or WISEP J121756.91+162640.2 A b, then what definitional parameters are you even...
Eh, never mind. This is cool.comment:www.metafilter.com,2022:site.194801-8226597Sat, 26 Mar 2022 13:49:44 -0800kyrademonBy: biogeo

Oh sure, first dwarf planets don't get to be planets, now brown dwarfs don't get to be planets. Soon there won't be any planets at all!comment:www.metafilter.com,2022:site.194801-8226699Sat, 26 Mar 2022 22:11:39 -0800biogeoBy: eotvos

Great fun!
For those who haven't encounted them, the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Td_YeAdygJE">explanet</a> <a href="https://youtu.be/iuN99RFcWJ0">orreries</a> are also <a href="https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/resources/311/kepler-orrery-iii/">neat</a>. None are up to date, I think. The <a href="https://exoplanets.nasa.gov/resources/1018/kepler-orrery-ii/">earlier ones</a> may be more impressive, 'cause you can actually see the details. (I may have missed even better or more recent ones.)comment:www.metafilter.com,2022:site.194801-8226853Sun, 27 Mar 2022 13:11:55 -0800eotvos
¡°Why?¡± asked Larry, in his practical way. "Sergeant," admonished the Lieutenant, "you mustn't use such language to your men." "Yes," accorded Shorty; "we'll git some rations from camp by this evenin'. Cap will look out for that. Meanwhile, I'll take out two or three o' the boys on a scout into the country, to see if we can't pick up something to eat." Marvor, however, didn't seem satisfied. "The masters always speak truth," he said. "Is this what you tell me?" MRS. B.: Why are they let, then? My song is short. I am near the dead. So Albert's letter remained unanswered¡ªCaro felt that Reuben was unjust. She had grown very critical of him lately, and a smarting dislike coloured her [Pg 337]judgments. After all, it was he who had driven everybody to whatever it was that had disgraced him. He was to blame for Robert's theft, for Albert's treachery, for Richard's base dependence on the Bardons, for George's death, for Benjamin's disappearance, for Tilly's marriage, for Rose's elopement¡ªit was a heavy load, but Caro put the whole of it on Reuben's shoulders, and added, moreover, the tragedy of her own warped life. He was a tyrant, who sucked his children's blood, and cursed them when they succeeded in breaking free. "Tell my lord," said Calverley, "I will attend him instantly." HoME²Ô¾®¿Õ·¬ºÅѸÀ×Á´½Ó
