And the same is true with planets.

These are particles, mass, material, spit out from the surface of the sun, and they go screaming through the solar system at 400 kilometers per second, sometimes faster during solar storms, and they go hurtling through interplanetary space towards planets and their atmospheres, and they may provide energy for atmospheric particles to escape as well.

I like to think of it instead as a salad bar sneeze guard for planets.

Well, we've sent spacecraft to all three planets.

Once we have all our measurements, we can combine all these together, and we can understand how all three planets interact with their space environment, with the surroundings.

First of all, an answer to this question will teach us more about these three planets, Venus, Earth and Mars, not only about how they interact with their environment today, but how they were billions of years ago, whether they were habitable long ago or not.

But moreover, what we learn from these planets can be applied to atmospheres everywhere, including planets that we're now observing around other stars.

We've gone, in 20 years, from knowing of zero planets outside of our solar system, to now having so many, that we don't know which ones to investigate first.

In addition to that, estimates suggest there are somewhere between 40 billion and 100 billion of those planets that we would define as habitable in just our galaxy.

We have the observations of those planets, but we just don't know which ones are habitable yet.

And so you have to use the tools that you've developed around you for Venus, Earth and Mars, and you have to apply them to these other situations, and hope that you're making reasonable inferences from the data, and that you're going to be able to determine the best candidates for habitable planets, and those that are not.

We look at the inner planets.

The planet Mars and then three moons of the outer planets: Titan, Europa and small Enceladus.

So, the prospect of fungi existing on other planets elsewhere, I think, is a forgone conclusion, at least in my own mind.

And so he literally thought that the motions of the planets along the celestial sphere created harmonious music.

This is an exoplanetary system discovered last February of 2017, and it got everyone excited because it is seven Earth-sized planets all orbiting a very near red dwarf star.

And we think that three of the planets have the right temperature for liquid water.

So here we have the orbits of the inner rocky planets in our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, and all seven Earth-sized planets of TRAPPIST-1 are tucked well inside the orbit of Mercury.

I have to expand this by 25 times for you to see the orbits of the TRAPPIST-1 planets.

It's actually much more similar in size to our planet Jupiter and its moons, even though it's seven Earth-size planets orbiting a star.

So you see a lot of very simple ratios among the orbits of these planets.

When the planets were first forming, they were orbiting within a disc of gas, and while inside that disc, they can actually slide around and adjust their orbits to their neighbors until they're perfectly in tune.

So for one thing, our solar system is on a much, much larger scale, and so to hear all eight planets, we have to start with Neptune near the bottom of our hearing range, and then Mercury's going to be all the way up near the very top of our hearing range.

And so he actually spent an entire book just searching for any kind of musical harmony amongst the solar system's planets and it was really, really hard.

This is a new system discovered in January of 2018 with five planets, and just like TRAPPIST, early on in their existence, they were all finely tuned.

We know more about other planets than our own, and today, I want to show you a new type of robot designed to help us better understand our own planet.

Our oceans are pretty much unexplored and undersampled, and today, we still know more about other planets than our own.

But you're talking about really radical redesigns, and one of the interesting things that's happened in the last decade is we've discovered a whole lot of planets out there.

So what this picture isn't showing you are all the planets that we know about out there in space.

But when we think about planets, we tend to think of faraway things that are very different from our own.
