For a long time‚ we wondered if other stars hosted planets like the Sun does. Finally‚ in the 1990s‚ we got our answer. Now‚ another question lingers. Most of the planets in our Solar System have moons. Do exoplanets have exomoons? Moons are the norm in our Solar System. Only Mercury and Venus‚ the two planets closest to the Sun‚ don’t have moons. Mercury is too small to maintain a hold on a moon so close to the Sun‚ and Venus may have had one in the past and then lost it. On the other end of the scale are our two gas giants‚ Jupiter and Saturn. Together‚ they host almost 250 moons‚ though many of them are very small. There’s no reason to think that planets in other solar systems don’t have moons. But just like with exoplanets‚ we don’t know until we know. We thought we knew six years ago when researchers at Columbia University found evidence of a giant moon orbiting the exoplanet Kepler-1625b. They were suitably cautious with their findings‚ making certain people understand that they had found only a candidate moon in the Kepler 1625 system. “This candidate has passed a thorough preliminary inspection‚ but we emphasize again our position that the Kepler data are insufficient to make a conclusive statement about the existence of this moon‚” the authors wrote. They hoped that follow-up observations with the Hubble Space Telescope would confirm it. “Only after the HST observation is made should any claim about this moon’s existence be given much credence.” Hubble never did confirm it‚ but Kepler 1625b wasn’t the only exoplanet with a potential exomoon. Kepler-1708b also exhibited signs of an orbiting exomoon. Now‚ new research suggests that what scientists were seeing in the data are not exomoons. This is an artist’s visualization of Kepler-1708b‚ the second exoplanet with a potential exomoon. Image Credit: NASA. Exomoons are extraordinarily difficult to detect. When exoplanets are hundreds or thousands of light years away‚ we can only detect them when they block their star’s light. That’s already a monumentally difficult task that’s plagued with false positives and other obstacles. Exomoons are much smaller and far more elusive‚ making their detection dramatically more difficult. “Exomoons are so far away that we cannot see them directly‚ even with the most powerful modern telescopes‚” explains Dr. René Heller. Heller is from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) and the first author of a new research article in Nature Astronomy. It’s titled “Large exomoons unlikely around Kepler-1625 b and Kepler-1708 b‚” a title that needs no parsing. Kepler 1625b is a Jupiter-size planet orbiting a Sun-like star over 8‚000 light-years away. When its potential moon was discovered‚ it generated lots of interest. Not only because it would’ve been the first one‚ but it also would’ve been a gigantic behemoth moon as large as Neptune that dwarfed all of the moons in our solar system. Kepler-1708b orbits an F-type star over 5‚000 light-years away. In 2021 astronomers found evidence of an exomoon orbiting the Jupiter-like gas giant. If real‚ it’s also an enormous moon. “The moon is pretty alien compared to any moon in the solar system‚” said David Kipping‚ an astronomer at Columbia University involved with the discovery. “We’re not sure if it’s rocky; we’re not sure if it’s gaseous. It’s kind of in between the size of Neptune‚ which is gaseous‚ and the Earth‚ which is rocky‚” Kipping said in an interview with NPR. We tend to think of exoplanet discoveries as more direct than they really are. In the past‚ astronomers would sit at their telescopes carefully observing the sky until they found something. But modern astronomy isn’t like that. Spacecraft like Kepler and TESS generate an enormous amount of data‚ and it’s up to scientists to make sense of it and find the discoveries in all that data. These exomoons were discovered in a deep analysis of Kepler data. Astronomers look for light curves in Kepler data. When they find one that dips regularly‚ it indicates an exoplanet. Exomoons would also produce light curves‚ but they’re more complicated than exoplanet light curves due to the moon’s and the planet’s movement around their shared center of gravity. They’re also so faint that they’re little more than a wisp. But faint indications are where a lot of important scientific findings began. One of the problems with faint indications is that they look the same as noise signals. And all telescopes introduce their own noise. How can scientists tell the difference? Only with hard work and powerful computational tools. This image shows what a simple exoplanet light curve can look like. It also shows how other things can infect the light curve and what a complex moon-like signal can look like. Image Credit: MPS/hormesdesign.de In this case‚ the pair of researchers behind the new article generated millions of artificial light curves that exomoons would generate in a wide variety of scenarios. Then they used an algorithm to compare all of these curves with the detected curves from both Kepler-1625b’s and Kepler-1708b’s potential exomoons. In Kepler-1708b’s case‚ the results were not good. Moonless scenarios did a better job of reproducing the light curves better than exomoon scenarios did. “The probability of a moon orbiting Kepler-1708b is clearly lower than previously reported‚” said research co-author Michael Hippke from the Sonneberg Observatory. “The data do not suggest the existence of an exomoon around Kepler-1708b‚” Hippke added. Kepler-1625b’s exomoon also didn’t survive the analysis. The signals indicating its presence came from how the two telescopes used to study it—Kepler and Hubble—see things differently. It all comes down to limb darkening. Limb darkening is the instantaneous change in brightness of a star across its disk as an exoplanet passes in front of it. Heller and Hippke argue that limb darkening has a powerful impact on the proposed exomoon signal. The limb of the solar disk appears darker than the star’s center. But the limb darkness appears different between Kepler and Hubble because both telescopes are sensitive to different wavelengths of light. In a real exomoon transit‚ it wouldn’t make any difference. The pair of researchers say that their modelling explains the limb darkening difference better than an exomoon can. They also say that their new analysis shows how exomoon-detecting algorithms generate so many false positives. Astronomers keep thinking they’ve detected an exomoon then it turns out to be just a planet. “The earlier exomoon claim by our colleagues from New York was the result of a search for moons around dozens of exoplanets‚” says Heller. “According to our estimates‚ a false-positive finding is not at all surprising but almost to be expected‚” he adds. This research has another positive outcome. It shows what types of exomoons are more likely to be detectable. The pair’s analysis shows that only massive moons on wide orbits are likely detectable. A detectable moon would have to be twice as large as Ganymede‚ our Solar System’s largest moon. Jupiter’s moon Ganymede is the largest moon in the Solar System. It’s larger than the smallest planet‚ Mercury. New research shows that an exomoon needs to be twice as large as Ganymede to be detected.

The ESO’s PLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) is scheduled to launch in 2026. Its mission is to search for transits of Earth-like planets across up to one million stars. It’ll excel at detecting planets but also has the power to detect rings and moons. “The first exomoons that will be discovered in future observations‚ such as from the PLATO mission‚ will certainly be very unusual and therefore exciting to explore‚” says Heller. The pair of authors aren’t happy they’ve shown that the pair of exomoons are unlikely to be real. “We would have liked to confirm the discovery of exomoons around Kepler-1625b and Kepler-1708b‚” said Heller. “But unfortunately‚ our analyses show otherwise‚” he adds. The post Exomoons Defy Discovery appeared first on Universe Today.

Shocking.

CNN’s Fareed Zakaria blasted woke universities during his show on Sunday for their “long misadventure” into politics‚ saying that they needed to get back to focusing on research and learning and abandon their diversity‚ equity‚ and inclusion initiatives. Zakaria’s segment on the network’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS” came within the context of three ivy league presidents who struggled during their testimonies before U.S. Congress last week to say that calling for the genocide of Jews on college campuses would violate their respective schools’ policies. “To understand their performance‚ we have to understand the broad shift that has taken place at elite universities which have gone from being centers of excellence to institutions pushing political agendas‚” he said as he then proceeded to talk about statistics that show America’s souring views on higher education. “American universities have been neglecting a call focused on excellence in order to pursue a variety of agendas‚ many of them clustered around diversity and inclusion‚” he said‚ adding that the shift has “turned these universities into places where the pervasive goals of political and social engineering‚ not academic merit.” He ripped schools for insisting on becoming even more woke and for discriminating against white people. He also mocked those who “major in diversity‚ equity and inclusion‚” noting that it was not an “academic field.” “The most obvious lack of diversity at universities‚ political diversity‚ which clearly affects their ability to analyze many issues‚ is never addressed‚ showing that these goals are not centrally related to achieving or sustaining or building excellence‚” he said. “Out of this culture of diversity has grown the collection of ideas and practices that we have now all heard of‚ safe spaces‚ trigger warnings‚ microaggressions.” “Universities advise students not to speak‚ act‚ even dress in ways that might cause offense to some minority groups‚” he continued. “With this culture of virtue signaling growing‚ the George Floyd protests erupted and many universities latched on and issued statements effectively aligning their institutions with these protests. By my memory‚ few took such steps even after 9/11 or during the Iraq war.” “America’s top colleges are no longer seen as bastions of excellence but partisan outfits which means they will keep getting buffeted by these political storms as they emerge‚” he later added. “They should abandon this long misadventure into politics‚ retrain their gaze on their core strengths‚ and rebuild their reputations as centers of research and learning.” WATCH: America’s top universities should abandon their long misadventure into politics‚ retrain their gaze on their core strengths and rebuild their reputations as centers of research and learning.

“Frasier” star David Hyde Pierce explained his absence from the recent reboot of the series and said as much as he loved the show he “really never wanted to go back” after the original show ended in 2004. The 64-year-old actor‚ who famously played Dr. Frasier Crane’s brother Niles Crane on the popular NBC sitcom‚ said he realized when they were in talks about the reboot on Paramount+ that chapter was behind him‚ Deadline magazine reported. “I never really wanted to go back‚” Pierce said. “It’s not like I said‚ ‘Oh‚ I don’t ever want to do that again.’ I loved every moment. It was that I wanted to do other things.” “And when we got into real talks about the reboot‚ I had just started on the ‘Julia’ TV show and was working on a musical and going to do another musical‚ not this one [Here We Are]‚” he added. “And I just thought‚ ‘I don’t want to be committed to a show and not be able to do stuff like this.'” David Hyde Pierce On Not Joining The ‘Frasier’ Reboot: “I Wanted To Do Other Things” https://t.co/OlPZOs6PWK — Deadline Hollywood (@DEADLINE) December 11‚ 2023 “And I also thought‚ ‘They don’t actually need me‚'” Pierce continued. “Frasier has moved on to a new world. They have new characters. And I think I’m right. It’s doing great. And the new people they have are great.” The “Frasier” reboot launched in October on the streaming site with Kelsey Grammer reprising his role as the lovable Dr. Frasier Crane‚ a radio psychiatrist. The original NBC sitcom ran for 11 seasons and scored dozens of Emmy awards. Grammer previously said he’s “thrilled” with the reboot‚ saying he’s “excited to play Frasier again‚” People magazine noted. “We’ve been working on it honestly for about six or seven years‚” Grammer said. “It’s been on the slow burner. We were like‚ this is not a bad idea. Maybe this is a good idea!” When asked about why Pierce wasn’t coming back‚ Grammer previously said‚ “David basically decided he wasn’t really interested in repeating the performance of Niles.” “We’ll certainly be responsive about the fact that there was a brother and such‚” he added. “But the new world for Frasier is one of new friendships — and some new twists and turns he didn’t know were still in there.”
