ANOTHER HABITABLE SOLAR SYSTEM IN OUR GALAXY

THE DISCOVERY OF ANOTHER SOLAR SYSTEM IN OUR GALAXY

 

I am bewildered and amazed at the new discovery of habitable planets not too far from our solar system but beyond our reach for now.

The newly discovered solar system has its SUN (a stationary star) called TRAPPIST-1 located within the constellation of Aquarius and 29.5 light years from our solar system. 

This discovery was made by Michael Gillon and his team at the University of Liege (Belgium) with the help of LA Silla  Observatory, Chile. 

 With further investigation by NASA using Spitzer Space Telescope last month, they discovered that seven planet (exoplanets) noted at different intervals falls within the habitable zone. Moreso, Astronomers were able to use the Hubble Telescope to report evidence of water in TRAPPIST-1 exoplanets.

FACTS WHICH PROVES THE POSSIBILITY OF LIFE ON
TRAPPIST-1 EXOPLANETS.

-- TRAPPIST-1 is an ultra-cool dwarf star of 10% size of the Sun and slightly larger than Jupiter
-- The temperature is (2,280°C, 4,130°F) compared to the Sun which is (5,505°C, 9,941°F) thus producing low luminosity and longer range of habitable zone (other factors inclusive).
-- The size of its exoplanets is similar to that of earth; closer than Mercury is to the Sun.
-- Possesses significant gravitational interaction like.Sun-Earth-Mass and Abiogenesis
--  High possibility of strong magnetic fields capable of protection from TRAPPIST-1 solar flares.

OUR SEARCH CONTINUES....

-- Possible radio signal search transmission.

-- Presence of Moons in tidal locked areas.
