NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“The Seventh World of Trappist-1” is copyrighted by Michael Carroll. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

Seven worlds orbit the ultracool dwarf star TRAPPIST-1, which is only 40 light-years away. Many of these exoplanets were discovered in 2016 using the Transiting Planets and Planetesimals Small Telescope (TRAPPIST) at La Silla Observatory in Chile. The TRAPPIST-1 planets are likely all rocky and similar in size to Earth. This system represents one of the largest collections of terrestrial planets detected around a single star.
