BREAKING NEWS: 7 Earth-Sized Planets in Trappist-1 System, 3 in Habitable Zone! February 22, 2017

NASA just announced that, using the Spitzer Telescope, they have detected a total of seven earth-like planets orbiting the star Trappist-1, and three of them lie in the habitable zone in which liquid water can exist. We can be sure that this system is going to be getting a lot of research attention in coming years. Located 40 light years away, I imagine that we’ll also try to send a probe in that direction as soon as possible, too.
