TRAPPIST-1 System (Artist’s Concept)

Artist’s concept of the TRAPPIST-1 system, which is known to have seven Earth-sized rocky planets orbiting a red dwarf star. The host star, located in the background, is depicted as a bright white circle. It is surrounded by a yellow glow that fades to orange near the edges of the frame. The seven planets appear in the foreground, with their nightsides, the side facing away from the host star, facing the viewer. The planets are depicted as red-brown spheres. Many distant galaxies and stars faintly appear in the background. Text in bottom left corner reads “Artist’s Concept.”
