December 25, 2023 The Seven Wonders of Exoplanets Ep6 How we discover exoplanets
Il più vicino è un esopianeta che orbita intorno alla stella Proxima Centauri.
La luce, che è la cosa più veloce nell’universo, impiega 4 anni ad arrivare a
Proxima Centari. I nostri razzi viaggiano molto più lentamente della luce e
quindi, con la tecnologia di oggi, impiegheremmo 135,000 ad arrivare a
Proxima Centauri. Abbiamo bisogno di razzi più veloci!
The closest is an exoplanet orbiting the star Proxima Centauri. Light,
which is the fastest thing in the universe, takes 4 years to reach Proxima
Centauri. Our rockets travel much slower than light and therefore, with
today's technology, it would take us 135,000 to get to Proxima Centauri!
We need faster rockets!

December 25, 2023 The Seven Wonders of Exoplanets Ep5 What are super Earths
Non esistono super-Terre intorno al sole, ma sono tra gli esopianeti più
comuni. Ci sono molti tipi di super-terre, tra cui “grosse” Terre, o “grosse”
Veneri o piccoli Nettuni, ma anche pianeti più esotici come “i pianeti
oceano”, interamente coperti da oceani in superficie, con molta più acqua di
quanta abbiamo sulla Terra.
There are no super-Earths around the sun, but they are among the most
common exoplanets. There are many types of super-earths, including "large"
Earths, or "large" Venus or small Neptunes, but also more exotic planets
such as "ocean planets", entirely covered by oceans on the surface, with
much more water than we have on Earth.

December 25, 2023 The Seven Wonders of Exoplanets Ep4 Why are exoplanets so diverse
Non lo sappiamo con certezza, e vogliamo scoprirlo nei prossimi anni.
Pensiamo sia dovuto a come si formano e alla loro storia. Per esempio,
abbiamo scoperto molti “Giovi caldi” che orbitano molto vicino alla loro
stella, ma si sono formati lontano e poi sono migrati successivamente.
We don't know for sure, and we want to find out in the coming years. We
think it's due to how they form and their history. For example, we have
discovered many "hot Jupiters" that orbit very close to their star, but
formed far away and then migrated later.

December 25, 2023 The Seven Wonders of Exoplanets Ep3 How long does it take for a planet to complete an orbit aroud
Dipende da quanto è distante il pianeta dalla stella. Per esempio la terra ci
mette circa 365 giorni. Altri pianeti nel sistema solare ci mettono molti anni
perché più distanti dal sole.
Alcuni esopianeti, mettono meno di un giorno per completare un’orbita
intorno alla propria stella, e sono così caldi che le rocce in superficie sono
fuse.
It depends on how far the planet is from the star. For example, the earth
takes about 365 days. Other planets in the solar system take many years
because they are further away from the sun.
Some exoplanets take less than a day to complete an orbit around their star,
and are so hot that the rocks on the surface are melted.

December 25, 2023 The Seven Wonders of Exoplanets Ep2 How do we discover exoplanets
Circa 5000, ma il numero di pianeti conosciuti cresce ogni giorno. I primi
esopianeti furono scoperti nel 1992 intorno ad una stella “morta”, da uno
scienziato polacco e uno canadese (Wolszczan e Frail). Nel 1995 fu scoperto
il primo esopianeta intorno ad una stella simile al nostro sole da due
scienziati svizzeri (Mayor e Queloz), che hanno recentemente ricevuto il
premio Nobel per questa scoperta.
About 5,000, but the number of known planets is growing every day. The
first exoplanets were discovered in 1992 around a "dead" star, by a Polish
and a Canadian scientist (Wolszczan and Frail). In 1995, the first
exoplanet around a star similar to our sun was discovered by two Swiss
scientists (Mayor and Queloz), who recently received the Nobel Prize for
this discovery.

December 25, 2023 The Seven Wonders of Exoplanets Ep1 What is the sun
Il sole è una stella, come quelle che brillano in cielo la notte. Le stelle sono
fatte di idrogeno, l’elemento più comune nell’universo e sono caldissime,
perché al loro interno l’idrogeno viene bruciato.
Negli ultimi vent’anni abbiamo scoperto che quasi tutte le stelle hanno
pianeti che orbitano intorno, come fa la Terra col il nostro sole. Li chiamiamo
esopianeti.
The sun is a star, like those that shine in the sky at night. The stars are made
of hydrogen, the most common element in the universe and are very hot,
because inside them the hydrogen is burned.
In the last twenty years we have discovered that almost all stars have planets
that orbit around them, as the Earth does with our sun. We call them
exoplanets.
