Despite this proximity, because Trappist-1 is much smaller and cooler than the sun, its habitable zone is much closer to its surface when compared to our star's habitable zone.

Move over TRAPPIST-1 – there’s an exciting new planetary system in town. Meet Kepler-385, home to seven Super-Earths that were just discovered in existing data.

A group of scientists concludes that no signs of the atmosphere are found on this TRAPPIST-1 b. With this, the team is currently searching for answers about the contamination of starlight.

Exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 b is the closest planet to the system’s central star and is featured in the foreground with no apparent atmosphere.
