The conqueror of exoplanets

NASA Trappist-1 advertising post

Astronomers during the press conference on February 22 announced the discovery of seven planets at once, rotating around the star Trappist-1 and similar to Earth. They can have liquid water - and therefore life! NASA immediately released a colorful poster inviting space travelers to go to Trappist-1e, the fourth exoplanet of the system.

NASA lures travelers with the following text: “Somewhere in 40 light years, the planet Trappist-1e is located from the Earth, which offers an incredible look: brilliant objects in the red sky, which loom like enlarged and reduced copies of our moon. But this is not the moon. These are other planets the size of the Earth in an amazing planetary system outside ours.

These seven stony worlds are clinging around their small, dull, red star, like a family around the fire. Liquid water can be on any of them, but this planet, the fourth from the star Trappist-1, is located in the inhabited zone-where the detection of liquid water is most likely. ”
