The TRAPPIST-1 system is a science-fiction writer's dream. Seven Earth-sized worlds orbit a red dwarf star just 40 light-years away. Three of those worlds are within the habitable zone of the star.

Planets are bodies that orbit a star and have sufficient gravitational mass that they form themselves into roughly spherical shapes that, in turn, exert gravitational force on smaller objects around ...

As telescopes have become more powerful, we’ve been finding tons of “exoplanets”—planets orbiting faraway stars. One such planet, known as exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 d, has intrigued astronomers looking for ...

Recent measurements with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) cast doubt on the current understanding of the exoplanet Trappist-1 b's nature. Until now, it was assumed to be a dark rocky planet ...

The hunt for intelligent life beyond Earth has quietly entered a more exacting phase, and one small, cool star has become a proving ground for how serious that search can be. TRAPPIST-1, a dim red ...

Astronomers have just discovered a new Earth-sized exoplanet around SPECULOOS-3, an 'ultracool dwarf' star as small as Jupiter, twice as cold as our Sun, and located 55 light-years from Earth. After ...

After planet b a few months ago, it is now the turn of planet c in the TRAPPIST-1 system to be the target of the JWST space telescope. An international research group, including Michaël Gillon, ...

Astronomers have begun using the James Webb Space Telescope to study the TRAPPIST-1 solar system. Credit: NASA / JPL-Caltech Scientists have waited on pins and needles for more details about the ...
