2023 February 01 - The Seventh World of Trappist-1

In today's image, we see an artist's conception of the Trappist-1 system as viewed from the outermost (seventh) planet in the system. This is an interesting system in that it is composed of terrestrial planets, like out inner solar system. It is possible that this system could contain habitable planets. Hopefully, further studies will help reveal more details of this system.
