The discovery of the Trappist system helps build upon the fact of we are not alone in the universe. Trappist-1 includes a sun slightly larger than jupiter and seven orbiting planets‚ Most planets have sizes and masses comparable to the earth‚ and the size of the system is from mercury to mars. Trappist is located about 39 light-years away. It’s speculated that The planets of trappist

most of the 29 people in this survey did believe aliens exist and more than half believe we have been visited by aliens even if it was just a fast fly-by.

These have all brought back images of previously unknown galaxies and stars‚ and also have increased our awareness of black holes. Several probes have been sent out from Earth‚ and collected information about the atmospheres of the planets in our solar system. Scientist and environmentalists have learnt a great deal about our planet. With the help of satellites‚ they can now easily find facts about deforestation‚ pollution‚ global warming and climates‚ giving mankind a broader understanding of our own
