Sentar cátedra sobre planetas, cuando hay trillones, probablemente más, con una diversidad casi inimaginable, es muy pretencioso. Aún nos queda mucho por aprender. Sobra cierta arrogancia y falta mucha humildad. Por eso es tan importante el @PlanetaryHabLab

Replying to @ProfAbelMendez @NASAWebb
Here are @PlanetaryHabLab estimates of the mean global surface temperatures of the planets around TRAPPIST-1 for thin to thick atmospheres (<10 bars). TRAPPIST-1 b, measured ~500 K, is within our predictions. 😀

This Monday is the 11th anniversary of the Habitable Exoplanets Catalog. Here is the latest map with some new additions. Can you tell which ones are new?

To develop best practices for evaluating the habitability of extraterrestrial environments, astrobiologists should learn from the work of ecologists studying life on Earth. Commentary by @ProfAbelMendez physicstoday.scitation.org/d…

Only 21 out of 5000 confirmed planets might be potentially habitable, i.e, Earth-sized orbiting within the habitable zone of their star. Up to 59 if you want to be more optimistic. Link in planets takes you to the @NExScI_IPAC catalog. phl.upr.edu/projects/habitab… @NASAExoplanets

The Habitable Exoplanets Catalog (HEC) is a database of potentially habitable worlds discovered by ground and space telescopes in the last decade. Exoplanet data comes from the @NASAExoArchive. phl.upr.edu/projects/habitab… @PlanetaryHabLab @NASAAstrobio #exoplanets #astrobiology
