Hubble studying atmospheres of Trappist-1 exoplanets
  • 6 years ago
The nearby Trappist-1 star system, at 40 light-years away, contains seven Earth-sized exoplanets. Three of these distant world are in the habitable-zone where liquid water could exist. Scientists are using the Hubble Space Telescope to study the atmosphere composition of these planets to see if any of them could possibly harbor life.
