Открыты сразу 3 планеты в зоне обитаемости в системе TRAPPIST 1

NASAs Spitzer Reveals Largest Batch of EarthSize, HabitableZone Planets Around a Single Star NASA held a news conference Feb. 22 at the agencys headquarters to discuss the finding by the Spitzer Space Telescope of seven Earthsized planets around a tiny, nearby, ultracool dwarf star. Three of these planets are in the habitable zone, the region around the star in which liquid water is most likely to thrive on a rocky planet. This is the first time so many planets have been found in a single star s habitable zone, and the first time so many Earthsized planets have been found around the same star. The finding of this planetary system, called TRAPPIST1, is the best target yet for studying the atmospheres of potentially habitable, Earthsized worlds
