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?

Yea, I’d heard about this planet, but I didn’t know how much modelling was involved and of course what alternatives can explain the data. Still, the new data that hasn’t been analysed seems like it could be interesting.
