A 2021 study lead by Ekaterina Ilin (Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam, Germany) presented evidence that M dwarf flares tend to emanate from their polar regions, possibly sparing close in planets from direct hits. Their initial data was taken from a small sampling of M dwarf stars from TESS observations, and further studies showed that this may well be the norm. (from Universe Today 8/7/21) This is a pretty major discovery regarding the potential habitability of M dwarf systems.

Tantalizingly intriguing, that trappist 1 planet system.

Wow, this information is really interesting! I am also learning about the TRAPPIST-1 star system and the potential for life there. I wonder if anyone has watched the detailed analysis video of the atmospheres of these planets?

Words in thumbnail are click bait! Significant milestones in research mean there is water' but astrobiologist didn't find any! Got my hopes up' even though I cannot get there.

Yes, the title is misleading. Implies water was detected but no discussion of it. Do better

i like to imagine what our civilization would have been like today if we had multiple habitable planets in our solar system so close together, we would've prioritized space travel decades ago

We probably either waged interplanetary war when one of the other planets had intelligent life, or fucked up earth even more, because we had a backup.

Ok but when are we getting the JWST spectroscopic results of the outer trappist planets??

They already have the images. All jwst images are top secret and filtered before the public sees them. We're being lied to all the time. The government is 100 years ahead of the general population in knowledge and technology

Beautiful, my seven years old grandson is very interested watching it

Which one is in the honeypot zone?

We might not ever make it there, but we could probably throw a life dart at it.

We can’t do that, because it may destroy any potential life that already exists on the planet. We would not want aliens doing that same thing to us.

Our android progeny will have fewer restrictions in planet compatibility.

2:47 The planet is tidally locked, if it has an atmosphere, both sides would be about the same temperature, much like Venus.

A "cool star" sounds like Zaphod describing it

Thanks!

Where are the New Research results?

Superman's home

by now we should all know trappist 1 is barren and wasted like Proxima cen

40 light years away and they know all this but have bad images of our own moon still and know so little...

I don’t think that they actually know that much, but since there are no one that can prove them wrong, they can claim anything that they make out from the weak data that their instruments provide.

In a way When we are on a diverend position the same opsurved opservations shows diverend elements

No, they did not. The planet is too large, too close to the host star and the host star is very unstable.

new research didn't unveil shit. The guy said it himself; this was already done in 2016-17. It's 2024.
