Scientists Discover Most Incredible Habitable Planetary System
► Subscribe: goo.gl/r5jd1F
In 1999, scientists stumbled upon a hidden cosmic gem some 40 light-years away from us: TRAPPIST-1 - a red dwarf star. Little did they know how lucky they were. Seventeen years later, our telescopes revealed the star's first planets. And the very next year, we uncovered four more planets orbiting the M-type star.
Today, TRAPPIST-1 is the most studied planetary system aside from our own. Its 7 worlds are all rocky, strikingly similar in mass and size to our home planet, and some possibly containing more water than the Earth’s oceans.
For a very long time, scientists struggled to study distant worlds, but a lot has changed since the James Webb Space Telescope came into operation.
So how habitable is the TRAPPIST-1 system? And what would it be like to live on one of its worlds?
Let’s find out this and more!

I wonder if there is a civilization watching and studying our solar system like we do others. I imagine them sitting and wondering if there's anyone else out there and studying our atmosphere from afar trying to figure out if our planet is habitable.
They should be able to detect our radio wave signals if they are around 100 light years away. Not many candidates for that range.
we are alone in the universe
WE are the intelligent aliens that everyone is looking for.
We might as well be. Who would want to know us. The way we treat each other from country to country and within the countries themselves. @@annakessler9372
Time and distance is what keeps us apart, the perfect barrier.
"thank you for uploading these videos. Even if I'm having a hard night, I just put a relaxing astronomy video on and listen. It always makes my nights go much easier. Thank you!!!"
What is most painful is that 😢, we'll keep studying them, but we'll never ever go there😭😭💔
The moment you land there you'll say "what? That's all? I spent 70 years in cryosleep just to reach dead planet that's causing me to break out in hives?!"
If there was a way that humans could live there....They would only ruin it and treat it with disrespect like they have Earth.
Don't worry 😊😊, we will be there in our lifeline 😅😅, I hope so ......
Yeah just what we need a space mall. All we would do is build a fucking Starbucks.
You don't know that though. We could end up there. The feel painful part is that we can put the world on lock down to hide froma virus but can't do strict laws to fix our planet. Priorities ay.
Taken from Wikipedia page: TRAPPIST-1d, also designated as 2MASS J23062928-0502285 d, is a small exoplanet (about 40% the mass of the Earth), which orbits on the inner edge of the habitable zone of the ultracool dwarf star TRAPPIST-1, located 40.7 light-years (12.5 parsecs) away from Earth in the constellation of Aquarius. The exoplanet was found by using the transit method, in which the dimming effect that a planet causes as it crosses in front of its star is measured. The first signs of the planet were announced in 2016, but it wasn't until the following years that more information concerning the probable nature of the planet was obtained. TRAPPIST-1d is the second-least massive planet of the system and is likely to have a compact hydrogen-poor atmosphere similar to Venus, Earth, or Mars.[6] It receives just 4.3% more sunlight than Earth, placing it on the inner edge of the habitable zone.[7] It has about
I figured it more of a Marslike. Irradiated and airless. Venus has the mass to hold its (hellish) atmo; Mars does not
It's fascinating how TRAPPIST-1, despite being a red dwarf, hosts seven Earth-sized planets, potentially opening new doors in the search for extraterrestrial life. I'm particularly intrigued by the implications of its relatively cool temperature and longevity on the habitability of its orbiting planets, especially TRAPPIST-1e.
Red dwarf stars are not good host stars for planets where you might otherwise hope to find life.
Really??? Did you visit all of trillions of red dwarf stars to know that? The LIFE can be completely different then ours on Earth!!!! @@brucemacmillan9581
@brucemacmillan9581 certain types can be just they are more rare
hope you like solar winds if you plan to live there.
@LCTesla makes wonder if you build a colony on the terminator or perhaps the dark side of a tidally locked planet could these flares not be harnessed somehow for power generation.
Destiny I have to say, the quallity of your videos has gone up, I am re subscribing Stellar work buddy, love the details
Good. Can you send all the Politicians there? 😂
Sol is the nearest star, let's just send them there. Why waste a potential star system when a more practical solution is just 1AE away?😁
I'm using Trappist-1 as an inspiration for sci-fi stories.
Nice. Perhaps one day, you will make the next science fiction blockbuster.
Ah...you forgot to mention that the Trappist system is about 10x farther away then the closest sytem to us, Centari. So traveling close to 40 light years could be a problem.
You are correct, traveling 40 light years with today’s technology won’t cut it , but in a couple of centuries it shouldn’t be a problem, who knows what the future holds in space propulsion technology?
I thought it said it was 70 light years away not 40 light years away?
If you travel also the speed of light...you change the physics, which is not possible to our understanding.All looks very fancy even in distant future.
A problem for us with our current technologies and knowledge of physics, yes. But what if we were 1000’s of years more advanced?
not for the aliens
i have a feeling , Trappist system has diverse life.
planets are tidally locked.. its impossible
Who cares, it's distance from us is mindboggling, seventy thousand years in a spacecraft flying at a speed that won't see it disintegrate if it hits a grain of sand
@@olddog-fv2oxexactly
@@yasirkhan-gh3oylife without sunlight or oxygen and at vast pressure used also to be considered impossible
We look at dwarf stars so much because we get so many observations. The tidally locked issue means they are all most likely dead. Large exomoons might be more interesting.
To be unlocked I think they need a moon of there own.
@@trex4899 It has to do with mass and orbit distance. Example, the moon is tidally locked. This typically happens to any rocky planet orbiting a dwarf star in the habitable zone, resulting in what they call an eyeball planet. Hot on one side and cold on the other.
Way cool information with visual effects, Thanks Love New Discoveries of the Universe.
Thank God that our physiology cannot traverse the vast distances of space to make them a mess like our planet. We need to change our ways to preserve our only world or perish in it.
We certainly need to learn how to maintain our ecosystem.
Yes until the next global extinction event that makes whatever we do non important.
Do i litter? No i say punishable by death. But Thats the gayest thing ive ever heard. We were ment to explore. I think you should have been born a carpenter ant in an ant farm
Why do you think they would be better?
There is sadly a possibillity that all of these planets are very uninhatiable. Scorched by their host stars massive flares...
...only 1/2 scorched. They are also most likely tidal locked so the other side would be frozen. This is not they system to look for life, even simple life.
Those could provide an energy source for ocean life. Would be brutal for land life, but there might not be any land on some of these.
Trappist is a red dwarf. To be in the Goldilocks zone, Trappist e (all Trappist planets) would orbit close to the star and, therefore, would be tidally locked. That means any habitability would probably be in the very narrow zone twilight zone on the planet. Good effort trying to stir up interest in this system.
TRAPPIST is my favourite star⭐ system! I believe there's definitely habitable Earth🌎 like planet! 💯
I can tell u now it is not good system for life above microbiology red dwarf stars are very active
While I love the enthusiasm … The likelihood is slim
It's star much older than Sun...likely there should be life...may be as intelligent or more as humans.May be they are on way to earth with their technology. 40 light years very far and may reach us with in this century or next century..who knows !
@@MrScientific007 it's not far with warp
If there is life on some of these worlds, they would be unlike anything on Earth. I imagine they would have evolutionary quirks to weather periods of intense solar flares perhaps shells or even dig underground.
That and probably a interesting mechanism that can rapidly repair damaged DNA strands .eg if was a tree or plant.
If there is life on any of those planets, especially with complex eyes, they probably see in the infrared spectrum.
We live on earth. On earth there is only one kind of life, based on protein mass arranged by DNA. We know of no other kind of life, so why invoke it? Why speculate that it exists with absolutely no evidence? Sorry. Mr. KAKU, there is no time travel, no warp drive, no worm holes, no other kind of life that we KNOW OF.
There's nothing like trump on earth
Hey, raj here from the future year 2650 we’ve finally reach full transcendence within our species & we’re able to use enough cosmic energy to warp right through those wormholes.
If we survive Y2. 6K.
Great Job! Thank you!
Its painful that we don’t save our planet, we want to ruin another one
Who use imperial system on a science video about planets? You know especially considering NASA uses metric system etc. At least there should be text on screen to convert to celsius.
Be thankful measurements aren’t given in football fields and empire state buildings
Thanks for this video. The last time i looked into this subject was when there were news anout Kepler-B being earth-like, which was about 10+ years ago. Have you guys paid attention to the latest UFO news from the U.S.? It'd be interesting to see how everything meshes together. I'm keepeing a close eye and ear on that while being a bit skeptical. Imagine what our lives could be like if we could travel and interact with species from other planets, learning from one another. With so much chaos going on in our world, it kinda makes me a bit sad but hopeful that intelligent life might really exist out there somewhere. It's a strange feeling for sure! Thanks for making this video:)
..next on my bucket “holiday” list !
It would be great if you also did temperatures in Celsius (used by most of the world) as well as Fahrenheit. Thanks.
I also wondered. This chap sounds British, so why does he use that ancient scale?
@janhemmer8181 Caz it's imperial amurka😂😂😂
Fahrenheit was from the Netherlands. He's European. Not American. But yeah the metric system is superior in every possible way. Obviously. But it's fun to measure things in freedom units. 😂
I wonder if they're not looking at earth at a different time? You know, no one seems to realize that we all time travel on our own planet. After all it's tomorrow in Japan.😂❤
Nice focus of the Telescope guys keep it up😮😮😮😮😮😢😢😢
If If, And's & Butts were candy and nuts we'd ALL have a Merry Christmas
Even if we found habitable planets with life they would never let us know.I don't see the point
Hello Everyone 👋👋
Its so interestyng this video I like it
Trappist-1? When people start calling planets beer names, ya got me.
Aahhaha
They are light years away for the same reason-to prevent us humans from deteriorating or causing damage like we did on Earth. For this reason, everything is prearranged and kept separate, far away.
Life like us on our planet is so unique!
That is all great but: How do we get there?
Even if we do find a habitable planet we still don’t have the technology yet to get us there. What about supplies to build living spaces, transportation on the planet? Build roads? Mine metals and foundries to manufacture equipment? This sounds like a long term camping trip. I like to camp and hunt but not for the rest of my life.
If we were to travel to this system travelling at 40km/s or 144,000 km/h , it would take humans 300,000 years to reach there
Nasa Parker Solar Probe has reached at a speed of (635,266 km/h) I think even in today technology we can make a spaceship which can be reach at (1,500,000 km/h) we all countries and their people really wish to
If all countries and their people really wish to
I wish we had the technology to go there and study and live on their it will be a lifetime experience to see
No. Us humans don’t need to mess up any other planets
I can definitely agree with you most problems pollution all comes from humans
it would take 40 years traveling at the speed of light, and of course to send any report back once there would take 40 years to get here. Even 100 years from now, it would a reasonable guess that modern human civilization would have collapsed, and we would be living in caves or huts again, since when the internet crashes and electricity is shutoff nobody will know how to do anything themselves since the robots will stop working.
Why does distance to the star affect whether an object is tidally-locked?
Gravitational gradient.
Bruh we are struggling to land on moon 🤣💀
Or use mirrors on the crops to angle the light where it needs to be
Since when is 0 fahrenheit freezing...
I mean technically it is freezing. Just not the temp water begins to freeze.
It’s certainly bloody cold ! But zero degrees Centigrade is the freezing point of water at STP (Standard temperature and Pressure)
Shoutout to the cameraman who took this journey
Are you going to leave this comment on every space documentary on KZhead?
Good luck getting there! Proxima Centauri is 4.2 light-years from Earth, a distance that would take about 6,300 years to travel using current technology. Such a trip would take many generations. Indeed, most of the humans involved would never see Earth or its exoplanet counterpart. Proxima Centauri, is 4.24 light-years away. So 10 times as long to get to Trappist-1, or 63,000 years. You better hope Warp Drive becomes a reality.
also the sunlight from the sun, it takes 8 minutes to arrive to earth. so when the sun sets, that happened 8 minutes ago. now imagine you got an image of the planet that is 63,000 years away. the image you got was from 63,000 years ago and the planet could look a lot different, perhaps covered in ice
Hopefully, we discover some kind of a wormhole in the future to allow us to travel close to this planet.
What's the use of talking about a planet 40 light years away?
Don’t dream , come back to earth , we have problem to go to mars and explore
It would make far more sense to crow earth crops on the habitable Trappist worlds in sealed and radiation-shielded arcologies using LED grow lights that mimic Earth's sun.
Is anyone working on a super fast spaceship? Like really fast. Otherwise we will always just be a peeping Tom from afar.
Please include metric measurements next time.
They have actually found alien life on a exo planet 120 light years away in the last few days , it should be on news soon. Its the gasses that supports life they found , quite incredible 👍🙏👌👍
thank you . temperature warnings
We need to stop looking at red dwarfs, between the solar radiation, solar flares, and most planets being tidally locked, most of these planets are garbage...
I hope the search turns towards K and G stars as planetary detection methods improve.
Humans haven't even returned to the moon in *years,* so I seriously doubt we'll ever go anywhere before natural disasters (or human caused), in our solar system, destroys life on our planet, Earth😞 ...Nice to dream and imagine though!🙏 ❤
Hi, thanks for the video... Wish me the best !
And then, those planets orbit around a damn frenzy-flaring red dwarf that cancels the slightest possibility for any kind life. Plus that red dwarfs are interesting only for the war of publications between universities, and the reasons are profound. The best exoplanet that could possibly host some kind of life, depending on its star's incoming light that is a bit shorter wavelength boundary for photosynthesis (bigger chlorophyl A wavelength or lowest temperature is about 690 nm for 4200 Kelvins), , is Kepler-442 b, which give a temperature (Gaia DR3) of 4472 Kelpvins and as a result 648 nm, 42 nm above (shorter wavelength) the red edge. There is where we should focus, for the next 4-5 years.
Using anaerobic plants could increase the ozone level making it safer.
These planets are tidally locked and incapable of having life due to them being flare stars
I don't think they are. They're not within reach for us to inhabit it. Any planet is potentially habitable, considering life 'as we DON'T know it' might come in very different flavors.
Maybe in our life time but that’s what makes these hypothesis’ interesting.
wonder if darts where " lost inn space is!
THIS. A lot of headlines are so strict, they say stuff like carbon based life is the only possible life, or you cant split quarks. Stuff with time may be debunked. As we know it, these facts are true, but we should stop using absolutes.
It wouldn't matter if it were an identical twin to Earth. Mankind will never get there. We will destroy ourselves long before that could ever be a possibility. It isn't pessimism, just observational results.
No, that’s your opinion.
@@peterclarke3020 Actually it's an educated observation. You only assume I made it as an opinion.
We will go there as we are ready for new ways of transportation ,this is a first step 🚶♀️to know other planets😅😅😅
14:31 415 Miles deep???😮😢🥺 Ice 7??
Excellent video. There are great hopes that one day humans will be able to colonize the exoplanet Trappist-1e. Now is the time to colonize Mars and keep Europa, Ganymede and Titan 🪐in mind. It is up to the next generations to do that work.❤
The next generation is too busy carrying a tambourine and soliciting help from the government who will be more than happy to enslave them. Like in the movie the Time Machine, there will be Morlocks and Eloi just like today. They're just not eating us. YET!
Temperatures in Fahrenheit? That sounds oddly unscientific...
If it’s tidally locked, it’s by definition not more habitable than earth
It’s like having dreams to travel the world and then getting a life sentence
I am suggesting that the JWST should scan Jupiter , Saturn 🪐 and Uranus planets so that we know what are inside them
Why are we not concentrating on the nearest star to us? The one that is actually possible to send messages to in a realtime frame ?
Because we already know all about what we can know about Proxima Centauri. We didn't even have to use transit spectroscopy because we were close enough to observe the gravitational pull of Proxima B altering the movement of its star. There's literally nothing else to know until someone decides to spend the rest of their life on a 4 lightyear trip to the star in question.
@@jamesshore3191 have we sent messages there via radio waves?
At 9:29 ... trillions of years for life to evolve in a universe that's 13.8 billion years old.
With what we learn today could be helpful in the future . If we live long enough or are planet lives long enough to achieve this. Perhaps 10000 years into the future. We will have the technology to ask to go half the speed of light
habitable to an extent
Did not added Logo Subtitle in video
The chemistry in our planet is unique ! The proportion of matter along the orbit and solar system is perfectly adjusted so the human life can exist... the chemistry of carbon and the 4 forces of matter demonstrates the .000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 possibility of another planet can be useful for human life
Yes some days feel and look moon clear .. imagine how never ever look
It’s to bad that it’s going to be a couple millennia before we have the technology to visit this solar system and even longer before we can even consider living on a different planet.
I saw Silo! Sneaky….
TRAPPIST 1-D is my dream Homeland, motherland.. I would like to die there! 😜✅
I believe if it is ever explored to find life much like on earth I believe all life in the universe is basically the same but there would be a different appearance in species as diverse as DNA can be
Sounds like a bedtime story at a mental institution.
Imagine if our known universe was simply a single cell of a tiny living being with an extremely short lifespan...that would put everything in a completely new perspective...
Is this all guess by scientists or are they actually able to confirm these studies on these planets?
You're full of it saying JWST can see surfaces of exoplanets. They calculate mass by how the planet makes its star wabble. I believe we would need an unbelievably big telescope to actually image an exoplanet. As of now we only get light spectrum through their atmospheres.
At best we can only see a fraction of a pixel on the imaging plane.
They say there tidally locked.. but surely one of them spins.. 🤔
Just a friendly reminder that the ocean on Europa is bigger than the combined oceans of Earth.
I believe we should leave that world alone. Admire it from a far.
The farther we look, the further past it is that we see!!!
40 light years away 🤪 Yet a security cameras from across the road shows a fuzzy picture of a suspect on the news.
bruh why they gotta name it like that...
240 TRILLION Miies away , so it is IMPOSSIBLE to ever go there....😢
We will go there in a decade
Uh yah, it used to be called Zeta Reticuli lol
Let's get down to earth and try to solve earth's problem and prevent it from being destroyed by some.
Didn’t JWST find that the chances of life here are not that great
That JWST data are for Trappist-1 b and c. No data for the rest of the star system so far.
The sobering fact remains no matter if the universe is littered with intelligent life the stumbling block has always been space time and distance from any life forms. probing deeper into space only compounds the frustration of us ever making contact. And should we ever send messages into the unknown and they are received and that big leap they understand our messages by the time they send a message back there won't be a living soul on earth who was here when the message was originally sent.
We SO need FTL starships.
Quantum teleportation tech would be far more useful.. .you could be in the milky way one moment and in another galaxy the next moment.. .the only question is when will someone invent it... probably a few thousand years to wait for it.
Correction - Earth's albedo is 0.39, not 0.3
Nice bit of science fiction. No one has ever photographed a planet that looked like earth.
Astrum > Destiny
Id rather study the two rings around uranus
I do believe that there habitable planets out there and, or parallel universe's out there, unfortunately like one person said they are way! Beyond our reach, right now!! Who knows what advances we as humans will have in the future??????
Life is impossible in a planet that always faces its parent star
Planet 4 has intelligent life.
