| Video Discription | Pro ISSI Talk with Prof. Michel Mayor Do there exist many worlds, or is there but a single world? This is one of the most noble and exalted questions in the study of Nature.” Albertus Magnus (circa 1200–1280) Abstract: Are there other Worlds in the universe? Does life exist elsewhere in the cosmos? The technology of our time has made it possible to transform this dream of antiquity into a fascinating field of current astrophysics. Three decades after the discovery of a first planet orbiting a star like our sun, a few thousand planetary systems have been discovered. These first discoveries revealed to us the astonishing diversity of these systems, very different from our solar system: orbital periods of a few hours, planets with very high eccentricity, ocean planets, rocky or gas giant planets with sometimes retrograde orbits, etc. After the euphoria of these first discoveries, the era of studying the atmospheres of exoplanets is now beginning. Fascinating, despite the enormous contrast between the luminosity of the star and that very weak, reflected by the planet, the analysis of the atmospheres begins and will benefit from space telescopes and giant telescopes on the ground (up to diameters of 39m). Does life exist in other places in the cosmos? – Vertiginous question – The analysis of planetary atmospheres may reveal biosignatures, these spectral characteristics induced by the development of life. Advances in spectroscopy studies of exoplanets make us think that the search for extraterrestrial life is possible. |
