Bookmark or Share- TRAPPIST-1 - WikipediaTRAPPIST-1 is a cool red dwarf star [c] with seven known exoplanets. It lies in the constellation Aquarius about 40.66 light-years away from Earth, and has a surface temperature of about 2,566 K (2,290 °C; 4,160 °F). Its radius is slightly larger than Jupiter and it has a mass of about 9% of the Sun.
- NASA Telescope Reveals Largest Batch of Earth-Size, Habitable-Zone ...Spitzer, an infrared telescope that trails Earth as it orbits the sun, was well-suited for studying TRAPPIST-1 because the star glows brightest in infrared light, whose wavelengths are longer than the eye can see. In the fall of 2016, Spitzer observed TRAPPIST-1 nearly continuously for 500 hours.
- TRAPPIST-1 e - Science@NASATRAPPIST-1 e is a terrestrial exoplanet that orbits a M-type star. Its mass is 0.692 Earths, it takes 6.1 days to complete one orbit of its star, and is 0.02925 AU from its star. Its discovery was announced in 2017.
- 10 Things: All About TRAPPIST-1 - Science@NASAForty light-years away, seven Earth-size planets closely orbit a faint star called TRAPPIST-1. We now know more about this system than any other beyond our own. The star we today call TRAPPIST-1 was first discovered in 1999 by astronomer John Gizis and colleagues.
- Largest Batch of Earth-size Habitable Zone Planets Found Orbiting ...You can fly through the TRAPPIST-1 planets and see an artist's concept of the surfaces on your phone or with a desktop app. Compare each planet to Earth or Jupiter, compare the TRAPPIST-1 system to our solar system, and see how far the habitable zone extends.
