Just 40 light years away, 7 Earth-like planets with similar compositions

TRAPPIST-1 s 7 Rocky Planets May Be Made of Similar Stuff - Communiqués de presse

TRAPPIST-1 s 7 Rocky Planets May Be Made of Similar Stuff The Universities of Bern, Geneva and Zurich have made astonishing discoveries about the composition of the planets of the star TRAPPIST-1. © Lead Art, Nasa/ JPL-Caltech. The TRAPPIST-1 star is home to the largest batch of roughly Earth-size planets ever found outside our solar system. An international study involving researchers from the Universities of Bern, Geneva and Zurich now shows that the exoplanets have remarkably similar densities, which provides clues about their composition. Discovered in 2016 some 40 light-years away, the seven exoplanets orbiting the star Trappist-1 offer a glimpse at the tremendous variety of planetary systems that likely fill the universe. As reported by NASA s Jet Propulsion Laboratory JPL in a media release today, a new study which is published in the

This Star Is Home to the Largest Group of Earth-sized Planets Ever Found

This Star Is Home to the Largest Group of Earth-sized Planets Ever Found On 1/22/21 at 12:41 PM EST A study published in the Planetary Science Journal on Friday demonstrates that the seven planets orbiting the TRAPPIST-1 star located around 40 light-years from the sun have remarkably similar densities, providing insights into their composition. The star system, which was discovered in 2016, is one of the most promising targets in the search for life outside our solar system given that it is relatively close thus fairly easy to observe and the fact that at least three of the planets are considered to lie in the star s habitable zone.

Overall the TRAPPIST-1 worlds have remarkably. view more Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech A new international study led by astrophysicist Eric Agol from the University of Washington has measured the densities of the seven planets of the exoplanetary system TRAPPIST-1 with extreme precision, the values obtained indicating very similar compositions for all the planets. This fact makes the system even more remarkable and helps to better understand the nature of these fascinating worlds. This study has just been published in the
