Astronomers have just confirmed a huge discovery: TRAPPIST-1 e, a rocky Earth-sized planet orbiting in the habitable zone of a nearby red dwarf star just 40 light-years away. What makes this exciting? It's in the Goldilocks zone not too hot, not too cold where liquid water could exist. It's solid, Earth-like in size, and might even have oceans, clouds, and the conditions for life. This planet is one of the most promising candidates yet in the search for another Earth. A real game-changer for pla

Earth-sized planets, three of which could harbor oceans of water, making them possible homes for life. Exciting news, right? Read our full report: https://goo.gl/5BiRCM | Space.com | Facebook

This is an artist rendering of TRAPPIST-1f, one of the seven exoplanets orbiting TRAPPIST-1. You might be familiar with TRAPPIST-1 because two weeks ago NASA announced the discovery of the most Earth-sized planets found in the habitable zone of a single star, which was TRAPPIST-1. Thanks to the staff from Science Central we will have all seven exoplanets available for SOS! Keep an eye out for them at a SOS site near you soon!
