TRAPPIST-1 is a dim, dwarf star just 8 percent as massive as the sun that lies about 40 light-years from Earth. In May 2016, astronomers using the TRAPPIST (Transiting Planets and Planetesimals ...

The TRAPPIST-1 planets are easier to measure because they orbit in sync; together, the seven exoplanets form a resonance chain connecting them all together and suggesting a slow, peaceful evolution.

Or, since it is called Trappist-1, maybe we call one of the planets Akbar… that seems appropriate. Let's just stay away from naming the planets after the ones that have disastrous endings.

The nearby TRAPPIST-1 star system’s seven rocky planets have compositions that appear to be both low in density and maybe even shockingly similar, an international team of astronomers reported ...
