News that the dwarf star TRAPPIST-1 was home to seven planets potentially in its habitable goldilocks zone was met with great fanfare when the announcement was made earlier this year.

Discovered in 2017, TRAPPIST-1 is a system of seven Earth-sized planets orbiting a red dwarf star much dimmer than our sun, about 40 light years away.

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.

Exoplanets in the habitable zone of the Trappist-1 star, some 40 light-years away from Earth, are more likely to have liquid water than researchers previously thought, according to a new study.
