TRAPPIST-1 is an amazing system discovered last year featuring seven roughly Earth-sized planets all transiting their diminutive parent star. Could there be an eighth? If there is, in this video Prof Kipping argues that it should be possible to precisely predict what the orbital period of such a planet would be. Right or wrong, this prediction provides a falsifiable hypothesis to test our understanding of the rules governing planetary system architectures. ► Kipping (2018), "Predicting the Orbit of TRAPPIST-1i", AAS research note: https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.10835 ► Gillon et al.

Thanks to NASA, you can now virtually travel to an exoplanet.

Planetary scientist Dr. Susan Lederer of the Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science (ARES) Division at the NASA’s Johnson Space Center discusses the discovery of the TRAPPIST-1 extrasolar system. Lederer also discusses the potential habitability of the seven planets orbiting the parent star. This was the fifth and final presentation in the Lunar and Planetary Institute’s 2017–2018 Cosmic Exploration Speaker Series, “Diving into Ocean Worlds.”

My twitter: https://twitter.com/Dreksler_Astral Trappist-1 is a system with seven planets, out of them three are in the habitable zone, but that does not mean they are habitable. Still i take a look at what would it be like to stand on them and i explore the topic a bit. Intro, outro and other clips in the video were made with Space Engine. Images are by NASA.

One year ago, astronomers announced the discovery that seven roughly Earth-sized worlds orbited around the nearby star TRAPPIST-1. Now a year later, additional data have refined our understanding of these planets.We now know more about the TRAPPIST-1 system than any other solar system other than our own.

Two new studies in the journals Nature Astronomy & Astrophysics suggest the seven rocky, Earth-sized planets in the Trappist-1 system may have water and life-supporting atmospheres.

This video shows artist's concepts of the seven Earth-sized planets of TRAPPIST-1, an exoplanet system about 40 light-years away, based on data current as of February 2018. Each planet is shown in sequence, starting with the innermost TRAPPIST-1 b and ending with the outermost TRAPPIST-1 h. The video presents the planets’ relative sizes as well as the relative scale of the central star as seen from each planet. The art highlights possibilities for how the surfaces of these intriguing worlds might look based on their newly-calculated properties. The seven planets of TRAPPIST-1 are all Earth-sized and terrestrial. TRAPPIST-1 is an ultra-cool dwarf star in the constellation Aquarius, and its planets orbit very close to it. In the background, slightly distorted versions our familiar constellations, including Orion and Taurus, are shown as they would appear from the location of TRAPPIST-1 (backdrop image courtesy California Academy of Sciences/Dan Tell).

Worlds in the Star’s Habitable Zone Are Not Smothered Under Primordial Atmospheres Only 40 light-years away — a stone’s throw on the scale of our galaxy — several Earth-sized planets orbit the red dwarf star TRAPPIST-1. Four of the planets lie in the star’s habitable zone, a region at a distance from the star where liquid water, the key to life as we know it, could exist on the planets’ surfaces. Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have conducted the first spectroscopic survey of these worlds. Hubble reveals that at least three of the exoplanets do not seem to contain puffy, hydrogen-rich atmospheres similar to gaseous planets such as Neptune. This means the atmospheres may be more shallow and rich in heavier gases like those found in Earth’s atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and oxygen. Astronomers plan to use NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, scheduled to launch in 2019, to probe deeper into the planetary atmospheres to search for the presence of such elements that could offer hints of whether these far-flung worlds are habitable. Artist's Concept: NASA and JPL/Caltech

A new study has found that the seven planets orbiting the nearby ultra-cool dwarf star TRAPPIST-1 are all made mostly of rock, and some could potentially hold more water than Earth. The planets' densities, now known much more precisely than before, suggest that some of them could have up to 5 percent of their mass in the form of water — about 250 times more than Earth's oceans. This ESOcast takes a quick look at this important result. Credit: ESO Editing: Nico Bartmann. Web and technical support: Mathias André and Raquel Yumi Shida.

This artist’s impression video compares the seven planets orbiting the ultra-cool red dwarf star TRAPPIST-1 at the same scale. New observations, when combined with very sophisticated analysis, have now yielded good estimates of the densities of all seven of the Earth-sized planets and suggest that they are rich in volatile materials, probably water. They are shown to the same scale but not in the correct relative positions. Credit: ESO/M. Kornmesser

Since TRAPPIST-1—an ultracool dwarf star located 39 light years away—was discovered astronomers have been busy trying to learn everything they can about the planets surrounding it. According to Gizmodo, an international team of experts recently used the Hubble Space Telescope to assess the chances of water existing on these planets—and the results are promising. By studying the amount of ultraviolet radiation being received by each of the 7 planets, scientists were able to conclude that 5 of the planets could hold water. Even more exciting, three of those planets are possible capable of supporting life. Scientists believe that these planets may have the potential to harbor alien life http://gizmodo.com/hubble-observations-suggest-water-may-be-abundant-on-ou-1798675198 http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit Tech using http://wochit.com

Astronomers working with the NASA/ESA Hubble Telescope say their research suggests a number of planets in the relatively nearby TRAPPIST-1 system could be candidates for habitability.

A study of ultraviolet radiation emitted by the TRAPPIST-1 star reveals that the outer planets may have water on their surfaces, including 3 Earth-sized planets in the habitable zone of the system. -- How long would it take to get there on Space.com: https://www.space.com/35796-trappist-1-alien-planets-travel-time.html Credit: Space.com / animations courtesy: ESO/L.

This animation shows all seven planets orbiting the ultracool dwarf TRAPPIST-1. The constellation of Orion (The Hunter) is visible below the star although it looks slightly different from how it appears from Earth because it is seen from a different star system. The artist’s impression in this video is based on the known physical parameters for the planets and stars seen, and uses a vast database of objects in the Universe.

The animation shows a simulation of the planets of TRAPPIST-1 orbiting for 90 Earth-days. After 15 Earth-days, the animation focuses only on the outer three planets: TRAPPIST-1f, TRAPPIST-1g, TRAPPIST-1h. The motion freezes each time two adjacent planets pass each other; an arrow appears pointing to the location of the third planet. This complex but predictable pattern, called an orbital resonance, occurs when planets exert a regular, periodic gravitational tug on each other as they orbit their star. The three-body resonance of the outer three planets causes the planets to repeat the same relative positions, and expecting such a resonance was used to predict the orbital period of TRAPPIST-1h.

Comparing the habitability of our own planet to the conditions on newly-discovered exoplanets, however, could be misleading, according to the authors of a commentary in the journal Nature Astronomy."

Three of these planets are firmly located in an area called the habitable zone, where liquid water is most likely to exist on a rocky planet This exoplanet system is called TRAPPIST-1, named for The Transiting Planets and Planetesimals Small Telescope (TRAPPIST) in Chile. In May 2016, researchers using TRAPPIST announced they had discovered three planets in the system. This is the FIRST time three terrestrial planets have been found in the habitable zone of a star, and this is the FIRST time we have been able to measure both the masses and the radius for habitable zone Earth-sized planets. All of these seven planets could have liquid water, key to life as we know it, under the right atmospheric conditions, but the chances are highest with the three in the habitable zone. ►Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

NASA announced the discovery of seven Earth-sized planets around a star about 40 light years away from Earth. All seven could have water, which is key to life like ours, and three of them fall in the habitable zone. Michio Kaku, CBS News science and futurist contributor and physics professor at the City University of New York, joins "CBS This Morning" with more on this new discovery.

CAPE CANAVERAL, FLORIDA — Using NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope and earth-based telescopes, astronomers have found a star system with seven earth-like planets, all of which may contain water. The findings were published on Wednesday in the journal Nature. Dubbed TRAPPIST-1, the ultra-compact system contains seven earth-like planets with surface temperatures low enough to support water. It is located 40 light years from earth. Three of the TRAPPIST-1 planets are believed to be in the habitable zone, close to the system’s ultra-cool dwarf star. According to NASA, these planets take approximately six, nine and 12 days respectively to orbit the dwarf star. Scientists believe their earth-like planetary compositions may not only support water, but maybe even life. NASA calculations reckon that all of the planets may have a rocky surface, but the space agency says more investigation is needed to determine if any of them contain water. In 2018 NASA will launch the James Webb Space Telescope and will use this for further research into the TRAPPIST-1 system. This telescope can reportedly pinpoint water, methane, oxygen, ozone and other elements of a planet’s atmosphere. ----------------------------------------­----------------------------------------­---------------- Go to https://www.patreon.com/tomonews and become a Patron now TomoNews is now on Patreon and we've got some cool perks for our hardcore fans.

This video takes the viewer on a quick trip from Earth, past the Moon and far beyond. We finally arrive at the faint red ultracool dwarf star TRAPPIST-1, which has a remarkable seven planets orbiting it, all having sizes similar to the Earth. The stars in the animation are accurately positioned as in reality. The tiny ultracool dwarf TRAPPIST-1 is so dim that it would remain invisible to the naked eye until the imaginary traveller gets very close, when its seven orbiting planets can also be seen. The artist’s impression in this video is based on the known physical parameters for the planets and stars seen, and uses a vast database of objects in the Universe.

NASA and European Southern Observatory has discovered a solar system with 7 earth like planets orbiting a dwarf star! Where 3 of these 7 planets are in the “habitable zone” which means there may be life there! Findings made by the Spitzer telescope.

Original air date: Feb. 22, 2017 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET, 1800 UTC) NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has revelaed the first known system of seven Earth-size planets around a single star. Three of these planets are firmly located in the habitable zone, the area around the parent star where a rocky planet is most likely to have liquid water. The discovery sets a new record for greatest number of habitable-zone planets found around a single star outside our solar system. All of these seven planets could have liquid water -- key to life as we know it -- under the right atmospheric conditions, but the chances are highest with the three in the habitable zone. The briefing participants were: · Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator of the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington · Michael Gillon, astronomer at the University of Liege in Belgium · Sean Carey, manager of NASA's Spitzer Science Center at Caltech/IPAC, Pasadena, California · Nikole Lewis, astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore · Sara Seager, professor of planetary science and physics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge For more information on exoplanets, visit: http://exoplanets.nasa.gov

An in depth look at TRAPPIST-1 and its 7 earth-sized planets.

The ultra cool dwarf star system is about 39 light-years from Earth. Find out how long it would take the NASA’s Space Shuttle, the New Horizons spacecraft and Breakthrough Starshot’s proposed laser sail-propelled vehicle to travel to the system that harbors 7 Earth-sized planets. -- Full Story: https://goo.gl/WVVedP Credit: Space.com / visualizations courtesy: ESO/L.
