Photos of 7 planets may exist in the Trappist-1 star system

NASA has just announced to space science lovers that astronomical images are considered the most impressive of discovering 7 planets of the same size and mass as the Earth in a single star system - Why is Trappist-1 located 39 light years away most likely an environment for life to survive ? Let's admire the photos of 7 planets that can survive the life of the star system Trappist-1 below!

On February 22, 2017, scientists announced the discovery of the Trappist-1 star system, an alien solar system with at least 7 planets of nearly the same size and weight as the Left. The soil, probably the environment that allows life to exist. All 7 planets revolve around the cool Trappist-1 dwarf in a position where water ( if any ) on these planets will not be too cold to freeze, or not too hot to be impossible. life maintenance. The finding has inspired NASA scientists to be extremely excited: " We have found another system that could exist in this vast universe ." The tiny Trappist-1 star is only about 39 light-years away from our Earth.

" Seven planets in the star system Trappist-1 have about 75 to 110% of the Earth's mass . At least now there are 3 planets with surface temperatures that allow water to exist in liquid form ," scientists said.

In 2016, astronomers announced the discovery of three planets the size of Earth in the Trappist-1 star system. Finally, so far the number of planets observed in this star system has increased to 7.

The diagram above shows the size of the Trappist-1 star and planets, compared to the bodies in the solar system. The Trappist-1 star is only slightly larger than Jupiter.

The trajectory of 7 planets in the star system Trappist-1. The dimensions of the 7 planets are quite accurate, but because they are on a different range and a different distance from the star.

This graph shows that the red dwarf Trappist-1 will appear a little dimmed each time he moves in front of one of the seven planets ( observed from Earth ). Moreover, we can clearly see the trajectory of 7 planets orbiting a cold red dwarf Trappist-1. Shaded areas represent the " living area " of the star, where a planet has the right temperature to survive water in liquid form. The dots show alternate boundaries for the area where life can exist based on the " assumption hypothesis ", according to a statement from the European Southern Observatory . said.

Images of star Trappist-1 during the teleportation of 3 planets. Planetary movement occurs when a planet passes between the host star and Earth, causing a clear change in the brightness of the star. In this case, the three planets are moving around the star.

This chart shows the brightness of the cool red dwarf Trappist-1 changes over 20 days ( September 21 to October 11, 2016 ). The degree of luminance of brightness is also affected by one or more planets rotating in front of the star and blocking its light for a short period of time.

This image shows the size of the Sun compared to the cold red dwarf Trappist-1. Planets orbiting a shorter star, that Mercury orbit around the Sun, which is not too cold to maintain liquid water - can survive.

This image compares the planets in the Trappist-1 star system with the planets in the solar system. The size of the Sun on Earth is based on Trappist-1 red dwarfs. The positions of the 7 planets orbiting the Trappist-1 star are shown to be related to Mercury's orbit around the Sun.
