JWST's Verdict on TRAPPIST-1 Is Finally In

Could there be life in the TRAPPIST-1 system? Want to learn coding in a way that actually feels fun? Check out Coddy here: https://link.coddy.tech/bvMS/im?af_sub1=Astrum and start building your streak with bite-sized coding lessons, quizzes, and projects. ▀▀▀▀▀▀ This Astrum supercut explores TRAPPIST-1. This star system is home to our best candidates for Earth 2.0, containing seven Earth-like exoplanets orbiting within the star’s habitable zone. What have we discovered on each of the planets so far? Are any of them actually habitable? Join us to find out why scientists think this system is our best chance at finding life beyond Earth. To those returning and new to the channel: This video is a supercut of Astrum’s best TRAPPIST-1 videos, plus new and updated content. We’ve edited this into a new seamless video, remastered in 4K resolution, and re-recorded older voiceover to match the quality of recent content. ▀▀▀▀▀▀ 0:00 The TRAPPIST-1 System 3:36 Seven Earth-like Planets 5:40 TRAPPIST-1b 10:08 TRAPPIST-1c 11:12 TRAPPIST-1d 13:41 TRAPPIST-1f 14:40 TRAPPIST-1g 15:02 TRAPPIST-1h 16:26 TRAPPIST-1e 18:32 TRAPPIST-1e: Earth-like Atmosphere 21:58 TRAPPIST-1 Star 24:41 Is TRAPPIST-1e Habitable? 26:38 What’s Next? ▀▀▀▀▀▀ To stay on top of space news, sign up to the Astrum newsletter: https://astrumspace.kit.com A huge thanks to our Patreons who help make these videos possible.
