Scientists Found WEIRD System With Habitable Planets

Discover the WEIRD and fascinating TRAPPIST-1 planetary system, located just 40 light-years away! First discovered in 1999, TRAPPIST-1 is a red dwarf star that has captivated astronomers. Initially unnoticed, it took 17 years before our advanced telescopes identified the first planets orbiting this M-type star. By 2017, four more planets were found, making it a system with seven intriguing rocky worlds.
Today, TRAPPIST-1 is the second most studied planetary system after our own solar system. These seven exoplanets are similar in size and mass to Earth, with some potentially holding more water than all of Earth’s oceans combined.
Thanks to the groundbreaking capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists can now delve deeper into studying these distant worlds. How habitable is the TRAPPIST-1 system, and what would life be like on one of its planets?
Join us as we explore the mysteries of TRAPPIST-1 and its potential for supporting life.

Excellent video. Good luck with your channel

Thank you for the kind words, that is what motivates us to keep doing it :)

We can say there is a planet 40 light years away has life but we can't predict our weather correctly😅😅😅

[@badbunny2107]

Specially in texas we get all seasons within a week 🤣🤣🤣

We r not alone in our universe

[@1chuck23]

It took 40 years just to reach interstellar space uncrewed. At 38,000 mph it would take 17,500 years to travel one light-year. Habitable or not, we ain't going.

[@kumars1961]

Just two hundred years ago the same pessimistic views would have been expressed about air travel and setting foot on the Moon. Considering the tremendous progress science and technology have achieved during the last hundred years, one can say without any doubt that mankind would travel to other star systems, maybe not in the near future, but certainly within a couple of thousand years. Things such as Warp Drive and Time Travel, now considered figments of science fiction movies, will be discovered allowing mankind to go "where no man has gone before"

[@1chuck23]

@kumars1961 yes, but on that same note I would reference one of the theories on the Fermi paradox, that quite possibly within the next thousand years we either destroy ourselves or succumb to an unavoidable cataclysm that wipes us out before we can develop such technology. One of the strengths we have as a species is our distribution and adaptability to various environments. Extended space travel could literally overstress our genetic adaptability, especially since our DNA is heavily influenced by the planets electromagnetic field. Thus speed isn't the only obstacle to interstellar space travel.

How come a temperature of 107 c is stated as one of the coldest rocky planets in our solar system?

[@RoadHead62]

Have we determined whether or not ANY of those tidally locked planets even have a magnetospheres? If not there is no point in even going unless some vast new resource we can't do without turns out to be worth the cost. We sure couldn't live under the star. Maybe, MAYBE we could live in the habitable zone, but only in the shadow cast by the planet itself, to block as much of the radiation as possible.

Never said it had life but might

[@jasonhayes9599]

Cool

[@slotfreak7094]

How can they find planets 40 x 6.4 trillion miles (1 light year) away but are uncertain there is a ninth planet 12 billion miles away ?

Yeah u need some mass 2 challenge the twilight zone

When. 1954

[@WordandVoid]

Sheer speculation

[@boygraphychannel]

On Earth, there are currently two major wars decimating human life on a daily basis. Ever year we deforest whole jungles and destroy exquisite flora and fauna. Over the centuries, we've hunted species upon species of animals into extinction. But we are desperately searching for a single living microbe on planets light years away because we don't want to be alone in the universe. Humans are not worthy of discovering life in the universe. I hope and pray all life in the cosmos remains out of our evil reach.

[@arkexplorer9328]

Point being 😊

[@raybilverstone2066]

@@arkexplorer9328 point being we destroy everything in our path and sod any other species.

[@mrfly8133]

Took the words right out of my mouth. Be-loathed to spend ANY resources caring for the planets ecosystem but we wanna go to another planet. But our blind stupidity and ignorance prevent us from recognizing we'll just trash that place too. We're probably this stupid and apathetic because we only live 70 or 80 years. it's obviously not enough to gain the perspective we need. Yet if we'd live longer, I fear the Earth may be uninhabitable today.

[@boygraphychannel]

@@mrfly8133 so true.

[@boygraphychannel]

@@arkexplorer9328 Point being that we already know are NOT alone in the universe and yet we pine for extraterrestrial life like we were the loneliest species ever. We have 7 billion humans, and 8.7 million animal & plant species around us. Instead of reaching out to planets out of our reach to look for life, we should cherish the life we have here on Earth instead of decimating it nonchalantly and then hoping we find life on another world which we can shower with our care and love.

[@WordandVoid]

LOL

[@robertwilliams2623]

Better hope we don't find life out there the U/S government will send them money.

40.7 light-years what a waste of time

[@gregory7414]

1 light year is 5.7 trillion miles! This is 40 times 5.7 trillion! I agree with you! 😀

[@robertbrackin6836]

Not really a waste of time we must push our technology beyond it's limits we as a specie's never give up eventually we will visit other solar systems it's just a matter of time.🤓

[@gregory7414]

We are probably 500 years away from this. We would rather spend trillions of dollars killing each other here on Earth EVERY year. We will destroy each other and Earth, long before we ever make it in mass to another planet. And IF we did make it out of here, our killing would continue there! We are too immature and selfish. It's the human race. Look at our history.

[@scottamus8593]

No they didnt

[@darrinwebber4077]

All depends on a person's definitions / interpretations of terms such as "Earth like" and , in this case , "Habitable".
