    If and when we master interstellar travel, I've got a feeling that the Trappist system is going to be one of the first exploration destinations outside our solar system and one of the first colonization targets too! Given that those planets are thought to be fairly habitable and Earth like in many ways, including gravity! Unlike the super-earths of many other solar systems, the gravity of any of these planets wouldn't be too strong for Earthlings!

    Perhaps one of the first colonization targets - unless of course they are already inhabited by some alien civilization or humanoid(s) who might be capable of developing a civilization at some point in the future. Whatever life is there would need to be respected and cherished. Something that so far we haven't been able to do with our fellow life forms and even fellow human beings here on Earth. We need to get the antiquated concept of colonization we have out of our heads. Everywhere people have gone in the spirit of colonialism, they have left behind a wake of genocide, economic exploitation and environmental devastation. It hasn't worked out too well here. Without a drastic paradigm shift in our values, it work out well anywhere else either.

Does the twilight zone offer any protection from solar flares since it doesn’t directly face Trappist-a?

Has anyone in the field formed a theory about whether it will go supernova, or become a dwarf sun? And if the latter, would it then be possible for our own solar system to become one such as Trappist 1? Regarding the Premiere feature, it makes no difference whatsoever to me. It doesn't change the content, which as always, is excellent.

    What I realise after watching these videos the pertain to the topics in the grand scale of things is that I know nothing, nothing at all relatively. What worries me is there are so many people on Earth who don't even know what little I know about everyday interactions with objects/matter in general. They are obsessed about things just to ensure their survival. I just want to live long enough to see these people's conditions elevated so that maybe we have more people who can come up with ideas and such for studies that involve such scale.

    ChillTyme Great point, although sometimes I wonder if that’s even possible. You could argue it either way, on one hand the global advances in QoL we have made as a species over the last few centuries have been pretty pronounced, but on the other hand since human anatomy really hasn’t changed outside of our bodies getting bigger and our brains actually getting slightly smaller, it’s hard to imagine us ever getting over our ape-ish tribalism, at least to the extent that we’re working together as one species for bigger goals as opposed to fighting over resources and bad feelings. We’ll probably be long-gone by the time there’s an answer to that question though.

    @@Sebastianmaz615 it is highly improbable for these planets to have moons as they are tidally locked and in a Laplace resonance,a type of orbital resonance where each worlds period around a central body is an integer ratio of two or more other worlds in their given star system. This set of stable resonances prevents the planets from approaching each other i.e. keeping them on different side of the star from their neighboring planets. This is important as if any of these adjacent planets were to approach each other their Hill spheres or zone of gravitational dominance would overlap leading to them getting pull out of orbit either getting ejected from the star system or colliding with another planet or TRAPIST1 itself. Additionally since these planets are in the tidal locking zone the star would have ripped away any moons they may have once had via tidal friction.

    It would be interesting if there are multiple civilisations in this system, that can just visit each other on the other planets as they are so close to each other. On tidally locked planets, there would probably be a hot dry desert in the center of the day side, glaciers on the night side and a temperate habitable ring between the day and night side where life and liquid water is mostly concentrated. The plants would all face the star which is always in the same place in the sky. Even the shadows would always be in the same place. And for alien civilisations it would be a completely foreign concept to see a planet like earth that has a fast rotation, day and night cycle and seasons.
