45 Rocky Exoplanets in the TRAPPIST-1 System: Promising Targets in the Search for Life
To the point
Abigail Bohl of Cornell explains that from more than 6,000 identified worlds, scientists have picked 45 rocky exoplanets in the TRAPPIST-1 Goldilocks zone that could have water and Earthlike weather, including Proxima Centauri b, but at about 4.2 light-years away we’d learn about life only through distant observations since life needs the right atmosphere, climate, and chemistry.
