Several planets in the distant TRAPPIST solar system have temperatures that could sustain liquid water, thought to be a key for life to form. ... known as TRAPPIST-1e, is the most Earth-like.

TRAPPIST-1e lies in its star's habitable zone, the distance from a star at which a planet is warm enough to have liquid water on its surface and thus potentially support life as we know it on Earth.

Tucked between a boiled-away desert and a giant snowball, an alien world called TRAPPIST-1e may be the only habitable planet in a newly discovered batch of seven, according to a new climate model.

Could TRAPPIST-1 Host Alien Life? ... TRAPPIST-1e, f, and g, are particularly intriguing to astronomers because they're located in what astronomers call the habitable zone.

The TRAPPIST-1 planets are about 40 light years from Earth, 232 trillion miles away.. All seven worlds are Earth-sized and rocky; add water to the mix, and that's yet another signal that suggests ...

The Trappist-1 solar system. Three of the planets (e, f and g) are located firmly within the "habitable zone." NASA/JPL-Caltech. Calculations show that around 10 percent of the material ejected ...

The TRAPPIST-1 system seems at first to be a good place to look for extraterrestrial life. It has seven rocky planets roughly the same size as Earth, and some of them are in the "habitable zone ...

And from oceans can come life. That was the news announced in an explosive study published in the Feb. 23 issue of the journal Nature, and Trappist-1e was only part of the bombshell.

And rocky exoplanets orbiting close to red dwarf stars like TRAPPIST-1 may be some of the best places to look for alien life. In part, that’s because red dwarfs make up 75 percent of the known ...

Alien worlds that could harbor life include Proxima Centauri b, TRAPPIST-1e, Kepler-186f, LHS 1140 b, and K2-18b. ... #2 TRAPPIST-1e. 2017 NASA / Getty Images News via Getty Images.
