I’d certainly seen this exoplanet somewhere in my mainstream news world somewhere … so nice to see a breakdown here from “Dr Becky” about how the science isn’t so clear cut.
Anyone else able to provide insight on what the possible outcomes of the newly acquired data will be?
EDIT: what’s with the downvotes? Genuinely confused … is there some rule/culture against youtube videos or something?
Right, so you didn’t watch the video … it’s about the paper that’s getting so much media attention and why most in the scientific community don’t think much of it and what challenges to the initial paper have been made in subsequent publications.
The video is solely about published work, by a publishing and working scientist, and not at all some mainstream media stuff.
Gotta say, at some point, if downvoters are operating at such a superficial level, their reason for existing basically disappears. Like an AI would have done a better job here. The quality of the video is precisely because it nicely dispels whatever media hype might be out there.
