alfa015 Posted December 14, 2019 #1 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I would like to talk about an instrument that has been sometimes overlooked: ESPRESSO. As most of you probably know, ESPRESSO is the only current spectrograph able to detect Earth-sized planets. I think it will be a key instrument for 2 reasons: 1- The majority of the most potentially habitable exoplanets were discovered with the radial velocity method. 2- Only 0.5 % of the Earth-like planets in the Milky Way could be detectable by using transit photometry. Do you think we will find a nearby Earth 2.0 with ESPRESSO in 2020? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Desertrat56 Posted December 14, 2019 #2 Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) No. I think there are more variables than size that have to be taken in to account. Welcome to the forum. Edited December 14, 2019 by Desertrat56 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earth 2.0 is the place we haven't ****ed up yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
