500 Hours: Exploring the 7 Exoplanets of TRAPPIST-1

Показать описание
This video details a system of seven planets orbiting TRAPPIST-1, an ultra-cool dwarf star. Over 21 days, Spitzer measured the drop in light as each planet passed in front of the star. Spitzer was able to identify a total of seven rocky worlds, including three in the habitable zone where liquid water might be found.

This animation visualizes the change in light as each planet passes in front of its star. The study established the planets' size, distance from their sun and, for some of them, their approximate mass and density. It also established that some, if not all, of these planets are tidally locked, meaning one face of the planet permanently faces their sun.

The system has been revealed through observations from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope and the ground-based TRAPPIST (TRAnsiting Planets and PlanetesImals Small Telescope) telescope, as well as other ground-based observatories. The system was named for the TRAPPIST telescope.

So they found these in 2016, but only decided to monitor for 21 days? How come? Don't you want to show the world the consistency of your data? 7 planets orbiting the same star with an orbital period of mere days? They'll hit each other! I smell space shit, sorry.
