I'd certainly seen this exoplanet somewhere in my mainstream news world somewhere ... so nice to see a breakdown here from "Dr Becky" about how the science isn't so clear cut.

Anyone else able to provide insight on what the possible outcomes of the newly acquired data will be?

EDIT: what's with the downvotes? Genuinely confused ... is there some rule/culture against youtube videos or something?

I'm gonna start by apologizing first, I didn't downvote but I won't upvote as well because based on my experience this seems like an obvious clickbait tbh and my reasoning is it's gonna be just another hype for theoretical newly discovered untouchable evidence that nothing can prove except the paper and yet there's no other prove except the theory that it can only lead to one conclusion that there May be life on an exoplanet or whatever as usual, so basically nothing new to add to my knowledge just a big hype for new papers explaining the math that can or cannot be applied outside our solar system because in the end life is a gamble because no matter what it can always either exist or the dice didn't fall perfectly so everything may fit perfect for life except life didn't manifest at all so in conclusion there's no solid proof whatsoever, I think I just summarized the whole video, correct me if I'm wrong.

First, no need to apologise.

Second, no I don’t think you summarised the video, IIRC, it mostly gets into the theory of the techniques used and what can be done to do a better job.
