Video: O TRAPPIST-1, How Lovely Are Thy Planets

Since the discovery of seven Earth-sized worlds orbiting the TRAPPIST-1 star, we’ve wanted to study them more closely. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope will tell us more about them. Three of the planets are in the habitable zone of the star, meaning they are at a distance that isn’t too hot or too cold for liquid water to exist. We expect preliminary results on each of the planets in 2023.

O TRAPPIST-1, O TRAPPIST-1
How lovely are thy planets
O TRAPPIST-1, O TRAPPIST-1
How lovely are thy planets

Seven worlds of Earthly size
Ready for Webb’s probing eyes

O TRAPPIST-1, O TRAPPIST-1
How lovely are thy planets

Three worlds in a habitable zone
We need to know if they are home
To anything, so far unknown
Webb will send its science home
Can’t wait to learn what Webb will see
When it studies e, f and g

O TRAPPIST-1, O TRAPPIST-1
How lovely are thy planets
