1,284 New Exoplanets, and Tsunamis on Mars!

The video discusses the confirmation of 12,184 new exoplanets using a novel method that employs computer programs to analyze Kepler Objects of Interest. This method is faster and as accurate as traditional methods. Additionally, the video covers research on Mars, suggesting that megatsunamis shaped its northern plains, potentially creating environments suitable for ancient life. The video concludes with acknowledgments to patrons and mentions SpaceX's Falcon 9 landing.
