The View from Trappist-1f
Trappist-1 is a red-dwarf star - the most common variety - located some 40 light-years away in Aquarius. Then it came under the spotlight again in 2017 when NASA scientists found an additional four planets, taking the total up to seven. This is the most terrestrial planets that have ever been found to orbit a single star, including our own Solar System. This image shows the star and six of the planets as they would appear from the surface of the fifth outermost planet.
