[S01E06] The Physics of Faraway Worlds

  • サマリー

  • What does the weather feel like on a planet 100 light-years from Earth? How do we detect alien clouds, infer winds, or guess at chemistry we've never seen? In this episode, we explore the emerging field of exoplanet climatology—how scientists read distant atmospheres using only starlight and spectrum. From infrared absorption bands to the subtle fingerprints of exotic gases, we unpack the tools, physics, and future missions pushing the boundaries of remote planetary science.
