Webb Telescope Rules Out Earth-Like Atmosphere on TRAPPIST-1 D

Webb Telescope Rules out Earth-like atmosphere on TRAPPIST-1 d

TRAPPIST-1 d has long fascinated astronomers as a possible Earth-like world beyond our solar system. It is rocky, close to Earth in size, and sits on the edge of its star’s “habitable zone,” where temperatures might allow liquid water to exist. But new research using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope shows that TRAPPIST-1 d […] The post Webb Telescope Rules out Earth-like atmosphere on TRAPPIST-1 d appeared first on Knowridge Science R…

Can Exoplanets Orbiting TRAPPIST-1 and Other Red Dwarfs Support Life?

A protective atmosphere, a welcoming sun, and abundant liquid water make Earth a remarkable place. Leveraging the extraordinary capabilities of the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers are on a mission to uncover just how unique and extraordinary our planet truly is. Is it possible for a temperate environment to exist elsewhere, perhaps around a [...] The post Can Exoplanets Orbiting TRAPPIST-1 and Other Red Dwarfs Support Life? …

Could Exoplanets around TRAPPIST-1 and Other Red Dwarfs Be Habitable?

The TRAPPIST-1 system contains seven Earth-sized worlds orbiting the most common type of star in the Milky Way -- a red dwarf. The post Could Exoplanets around TRAPPIST-1 and Other Red Dwarfs Be Habitable? appeared first on Sci.News: Breaking Science News.
