They weren't super happy about that

I started writing the first #SpaceTalkTuesday thread about planetary habitability, but quickly realized you all need some background on how we *find* planets first!

So sorry to everyone who voted for habitability, but we’re doing HOW TO FIND AN EXOPLANET 🔭 today!

I promise this will make the habitability thread next week make even more sense (1/)

@ranx @_astronoMay Proxima d is kinda toasty, full of radiation and most likely laking atmosphere. Not great for living. I would say that for Proxima b is unclear. It dependes quite a lot on planet properties that we still can't measure (like magnetic field).
@TerryHancock @mallabori @_astronoMay We have found many compact multi-planetary systems orbiting small stars.
@TerryHancock @mallabori @_astronoMay As Terry says, it's much easier to detect planets orbiting at short orbital distances, which means in the end most of those we found are at short orbital distances. Very low mass stars (Proxima is ~12% of the Sun) also seem to host lots of small planets at short orbital distances.
Flight was cancelled, so I'll stay in Chicago for the night. Let's see if tomorrow everything goes better. I even managed to break the case of my phone... At least my presentation for monday is ready! #Exo4
@OrchidMantis9 Smoked (and spiced) turkey with avocado. it was very tasty.
