Trappist
TRAPPIST-1 is a star system located about 40 light-years away from Earth, featuring seven Earth-sized planets orbiting a cool dwarf star. Discovered in 2017, it has gained interest because three of these planets lie within the habitable zone, where conditions might support liquid water, a key ingredient for life. The system's planets are relatively close to each other, making it an interesting target for studying atmospheres and potential habitability. TRAPPIST-1 highlights the diversity of planetary systems in our galaxy and plays a crucial role in the search for extraterrestrial life.
