    Seven planets orbiting the star TRAPPIST-1, located about 39 light years from Earth, were discovered in 2015. The star is slightly larger than Jupiter. Some of the planets are estimated to have over 250 times more water than all of Earth's oceans combined. Of the seven planets, TRAPPIST-1e is most similar to Earth in size, density, and radiation received from its star, making it a good candidate for harboring life.

    PLANETS AROUND TRAPPIST-1

    TRAPPIST – 1 is a planetary system located about 39 light years away from the Solar System. At
    least seven planets are orbiting around a star slightly larger than Jupiter. The system was first
    discovered in 2015.

    Astronomers have discovered something interesting about the planets around one of our closest
    stars… … They are all made mostly of rock and may have lots and lots of water! In 2017, seven
    planets were found orbiting a very cool dwarf star – TRAPPIST-1. Now, astronomers have found
    that some of these planets can hold about 250 times more water than all of Earth’s oceans! The
    4th of the seven planets called TRAPPIST-1e is the most similar to Earth in terms of size, density
    and radiation of all known exoplants. Whether the water is in steamy clouds, oceans or ice… …
    these seven planets, only 40 light years away, may have the potential to be homes for life.
