\"Exoplanet<\/a>
This public domain artist\u2019s impression shows an imagined view from close to one of the three planets orbiting a dwarf star just 40 light-years from Earth that were discovered using the TRAPPIST telescope at the European Southern Observatory\u2019s facility at La Silla, Chile. These worlds have sizes and temperatures similar to those of Venus and Earth and may be the best candidates found thus in the search for life outside our solar system. They are the first planets ever discovered around such a tiny and dim star. In this view, one of the inner planets is seen in transit across the disc of its tiny and dim parent star.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
