We got long awaited JWST data this month, with measurements of the atmosphere of the exoplanet TRAPPIST-1c. It's not quite the twin of Venus we expected but the results have interesting implications for the habitability for planets in the rest of the TRAPPIST-1 system... Zieba et al.

I love making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm. I like to focus on how we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still don't know. If you've ever wondered about something in space and couldn't find an answer online - you can ask me! My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars. http://drbecky.uk.com https://rebeccasmethurst.co.uk
