NASA releases posters for newly discovered solar system
short by Gaurav Shroff / on Thursday, 23 February, 2017
NASA has released posters displaying the newly discovered 'TRAPPIST-1' solar system and comparing it with our solar system. The seven Earth-like exoplanets orbit their host star closer than Mercury orbits the Sun. But the new system's star, an ultra-cool dwarf, is cool enough for liquid water and possible life to survive on three 'habitable zone' exoplanets.
