TRAPPIST-1f Lurking on the outer edge of the habitable zone is TRAPPIST-1f, which orbits the red dwarf star every 9.2 Earth days at a distance of 3.57 million miles (5.74 million km). It's roughly Earth-size, with a diameter of 8,282 miles (13,330 km) — 1.045 times that of Earth...
TRAPPIST-1f, g and h are so distant from their parent star that their surfaces are probably covered in ice.『TRAPPIST1-fg和h因为离它们的母星太过遥远因此它们很有可能被冰雪覆盖』 "We were able to measure precisely the density of exoplanets that are similar to Earth in terms of their size, ...
TRAPPIST-1f, g and h are so distant from their parent star that their surfaces are probably covered in ice. "We were able to measure precisely the density of exoplanets that are similar to Earth in terms of their size, mass and irradiation, with an uncertainty of less than 10 percent, ...
ocean or ice layer—making these two planets distinct in the system. It is mysterious why TRAPPIST-1e is so much rockier in its composition than the rest of the planets. In terms of size, density and the amount of radiation it receives from its star, this is the most similar planet to...
TRAPPIST-1 is only eight percent the mass of our sun, making it a cooler and less luminous star. It’s home to seven Earth-size planets, three of which orbit in their star’shabitable zone—the range of distances from a star where liquid water could pool on the surface of a rocky pl...
An artist's conception of a watery surface on TRAPPIST-1f. For now, this is just a guess. The important thing about yesterday’sannouncement of seven planets around TRAPPIST-1wasn’t just the number, although that many Earth-size worlds circling one star is, at least for no...
This system, recently made famous by the announcement that NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope, in collaboration with the Very Large Telescope at Paranal had detected three separate earth-size planets within the star’s habitable zone. This system, located 39.5 light years away from earth, is also ...
TRAPPIST-1f would display the most pronounced gibbous phase at quadrature because its orbit is only 32% larger than Planet e. This world at opposition would swell to have an apparent size half again as big as the Moon as viewed from Earth – the largest any planet would appear from the ...
