Medicine & TechnologyFor the first time, astronomers have detected light from another planet outside of our Solar System. Find out more about it in this article.
In recent years, scientists have discovered a number of planets that, if not the title of "twin of the Earth," at least claim to be its closest equivalents.
A recent research on TRAPPIST-1 suggests it is almost 9.8 billion years old, twice the age of the solar system. It is basically a dwarf star residing 40 light-years away from the solar system.
The Keppler telescope has successfully gathered data of the TRAPPIST-1 planetary system, enabling astronomers to observe its outermost planet in details.
In Trappist-1 world, the planets are so close together that life forms can hop between them. Scientists believe the planets named Trappist-1 'e', 'f' and 'g' have the essential elements to support life.
NASA update an additional info about their latest discovery of the largest batch of seven habitat planets orbited around an ultra-cool dwarf star called TRAPPIST-1.
Just last week, NASA announced about the TRAPPIST-1 system which has seven exoplanets where three are deemed to be habitable due to the presence of liquid water. With the recent finding of the Cornell University, it seems that a fourth planet can also be livable.
NASA just revealed that another system houses seven Earth-like exoplanets which also revolves around one star just like Earth. Take a peek at the TRAPPIST-1 system.
