- TRAPPIST-1 is one of the most interesting exoplanetary systems in the Milky Way. But when talking about TRAPPIST-1. people usually only ask if TRAPPIST-1 could have life. But what is TRAPPIST-1? What are the planets in the system, like TRAPPIST-1e, like?
This is part 2 of my Grand Tour series, where I explore exoplanetary systems in more depth.
Watch episode 1, a Grand Tour of Alpha Centauri, here: • A Grand Tour of Alpha ...

NASA has a model for the exoplanets humanity has discovered (eyes on exoplanets), and some of them (like TRAPPIST-1 or Poltergeist, without the other planets) have custom-made models specifically for them. most of them can be found in the travel bureau
I used to always browse that lol
icl I’ve switched to Celestia and SpaceEngine, they’re a lot better. Plus in Celestia you can add custom textures to any planet (and star or other body) as well as write very rudimentary code (several lines, 30 tops) to add planets and stars and other bodies
Video suggestions for you:
- The benefits (or disadvantages) of colonizing Mercury
- Interesting facts about the moon Io (which imo is the most interesting among the Jupiter moons)
- The likelihood (or lack thereof) of life in Enceladus, Europa, or Titan
- Exoplanets that exhibit the biggest chances of holding extraterrestrial life
👍👍👍
The disadvantage is probably hella expensive and very unstable since how small and close it was to the sun...
Why colonize Mercury if you can just disassemble it for ressources?
Isnt Mercurys main possible use just resources for a Dyson Swarm?
Trappist-1 is my pooki bear 🥰🥰🥰
Edit: we broke up. I’m now in an open relationship with TOI 700d, looking for any hycean worlds nearby, iykwim.
You must have overheard me talking to your mother
AYO THATS SUS
For me, it's the planet Venus for obvious reasons.
Neptune is my bestieeee 😘😌
My pooki is ton618🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Youd be surprised how rare an actually grounded video on anything space is. Great job producing an interesting, concise and informational video. Keep it up!
I really enjoyed this in-depth look of the Trappist 1 system.
I enjoy creating fantasy worlds and I used this system as inspiration, specifically Trappist 1 - F. It's interesting to me imagining how civilizations would build up in a tidally locked planet and imagining the habitable areas influencing politics. Also having the planet so close and visible is fun. The myths they would create based off of these other planets and the calendar systems.
Obviously disbelief needs to be suspended because the plane isn't actually habitable, but it really is just such a fun system.
this one takes the cake for coolest sounding name
Literally the alphabet though "a b c d..."
@@michaelchance6125 I mean trappist
@@Faulheit oh yeah right 😅 it's definitely better than most stars who get named [keyboard smash]
Proxima Centauri also sounds sick
I realized there's still a lot of unknown and uncertainties, but a Grand Tour of the Tabby's Star would be interesting.
TRAPPIST-1c is more interesting than what I thought, cool
About suggestions for the grand tour series, some would be:
- Copernicus
- Titawin
- Lich
- Ran
yeah, lich is really cool
oh hey extrema, but I totally agree
I love this to no end!
PSR B1257+12, aka "Lich", is a cool system that might be worth taking the tour of! For one, it was the very first planetary system discovered around a pulsar, and two, it was the very first planetary system discovered... ever! :D
Please make a grand tour of 55 Cancri star system
I really like your approach that all planets are interesting even without life, your videos are super fun to watch!
I have an interesting request, can you show how you use space engine? Your visuals always look great but I can't seem to reproduce them on my own. I would also be curious to see how you create these systems and planets.
it's not likely that there's a asteroid/dust belt around trappist-1 as the gravity of either planet will pull the belt out of orbit unless it's in some sort of area where it's pulled perfectly but unlikely
Also if even the chance is thin as a atom that there's life on trappist-1 it will by some sort of bacteria or small fungi
While I am aware that there is a study suggesting that Trappist-1c has an atmosphere, I think this is not the scientific consensus, I feel like it's wishful thinking to expect exo-earths around red dwarf stars to have atmospheres.
according to this study c having an atmosphere actually fits the data best: ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2023NatAs...7.1011M/abstract
@@Kyplanet893 Ahh interesting study, I was looking for what study you were trying to base your claim off of but I couldn't find it. Thanks for the link, I'll give it a read.
It is so fascinating and PATHETIC how every single planet or moon we find, can't support life as we know it. As if this tiny rock is the only thing out there that has life. I know you people take humans for fools but damn. This is truly insulting.
Very interesting, whats your opinion on the misinformation spreading about proxima b? Ive seen so many clickbait videos saying that nasa has directly imaged the planet. Which is extremely difficult with modern technology from my understanding, and would only show a faint dot.
i’m gonna make a video about it
TRAPPIST-1f is Dr. Manns planet
Cool video, the only suggestion I would make is, perhaps you should occasionally flash a subtitle indicating that a planetary panorama you’re showing us is computer generated, since obviously we’re not getting color as if we were these extra planets
He should probably just fly a spacecraft to the actual planets he's talking about. He could record them in 4K HD so we know the exact colors they really are.
bro I actually just found one of your videos randomly and I just wanna watch more!
I like the point you made about the ESI. Considering that a tidally locked planet denser, but smaller than Earth, at the outer edge of the HZ would have a low ESI, then it may be a better planet than Earth . . . at least the star facing side and always from the inevitable giant central bullseye hurricane.
What a shame. They are all do close to being inhabitable by Earth life, but none of them are quite suitable.
Even if TRAPPIST-1 was somehow habitable for us, I'd still turn tail and bolt the second I'd get a whiff of just how dim the parent star actually is. I like my luminous CRI 1.0 stars from the F/G/K classes thank you very much. That fictional space tourism poster NASA made still looks pretty cool though.
Still, people need to read the actual studies and research articles on these star systems more often, if they did the majority of the hype around this system regarding habitability and whatnot would have quickly fizzled out.
Well said 🍻
Maybe there aren’t Habitable planets, But I bet the skies look beautiful with the proximity between planets. Besides, By the time we get there we’ll probably have decent Terraforming Tech(unless we Invent FTL First).
Yeah, maybe at least a few of the Trappist-1 planets could be terraformed.
@@Libertaro-i2u Yea. I mean we already have theoretically functional concepts for terraforming Mars into a second earth. By the time we make interstellar travel, we’ll have tech that could do wonders.
can anyone confirm 1b is bigger than 1g? someone said that its bigger cuz it has more mass. but im pretty sure more radius means bigger.
more mass means bigger and more radius means bigger
both mean bigger, just bigger in different ways (mass means heavier, radius means wider)
whenever i say bigger i almost always mean mass, because finding out the radius of a planet is much more difficult than finding the mass
@@Kyplanet893 ok, ty for clarifying!
9 deys leter the vide is stil corekt
helo bidone, it's zelenskiy, we need fiv billion rockets
Love the way you talk about what we actually know!
can you do a video about the system of pulsar PSR B1257+12 (AKA Lich), its the first confirmed exoplanets system, and very interestering.
Would the light from such a dim star really illuminate and reveal their' atmospheres fully in the visible spectrum??
not in the visible spectrum but we don’t need it to be visible light, there are other wavelengths it emits more that are good enough
Trappist-1c wilder than Venus
I get the impression that life in the universe is much more rare than we anticipated...
Solution to the fermi paradox I guess?
The popular belief is there's aliens everywhere and nearby.. but the reality is no, just no. We'll be lucky if there's even bacterial life anywhere nearby (within 1000 lightyears)
Truth is we are an anomaly. Earth is special, and so are you.
@@Jay-gf8tm Yeah, those were my thoughts too.
@@Jay-gf8tm I'd think bacteria would be common but multicellular life would be rare.
I have question, could a moon if gas giant support life on red dwarf system? A gas giant could orbit a red dwarf could orbit a red dwarf sun in 1-10 days and the moon can cool down if it orbits behind his Gas giant.
maybe
Add 55 Cancri as the next tour, please
Could you go over Ross 128b?
Very cool. Thank you. GLIESIE 581 next please.
i have a video about gliese 581 already lol
What about Kepler 18b
Maybe you can do Tau Ceti, a G type star
44th to comment.
Can you do teegarden
Now how about Gliese 581 system
i’ve made a full video about it already
Its a trap !!!
Maybe you can do 55 Cancri?
Oh my God, you’re actually did it
i think this is a good video
How can a planet not have air or an atmosphere?
same way mercury and the moon don’t
they don’t have any way to make one, or the sun’s radiation blows it away faster than it can form
Love your channel.
could it be that because planets are so far away that were seeing the past?
maybe they didn't' have an atmosphere in the past?
we’re only seeing trappist-1 as it was 40 years ago, that’s not long enough for any significant changes to have occurred
what we’re seeing is very close to how they look in the present
Trappist-1 system is 40 light years away from Earth, meaning that the observations we saw was 40 years ago. It is correct that huge astronomical distances can allow us to see from the past because the speed of light takes time to reach us but unfortunately, atmospheres can't naturally build up under a century.
that is only noticable for primordial galaxies located at the edge of the observable universe
good video
I love space
Are you ok with doing fictional systems? If so, do the Avatar version of Alpha Centauri.
I don’t understand why JWST data is taking forever? It’s been months
because you usually have to observe the planets several times which takes weeks on its own
then you have to check the data, get it reviewed by others, and there’s a whole thing about studies being embargoed so the people publishing them can do their own experiments and such with it before others can
plus jwst also just gives a lot of data so there’s a lot to look through before you can even get the results
@@Kyplanet893 oh wow. Thank you. Didn’t know all that was involved.
Also the fact that there are millions of scientists all wanting JWST to look at different things, Trappist-1 is a popular subject I imagine but there's basically no limit to the things in the universe it has to share the telescope's time with.
300th
there were 386 views when you made this comment
the youtube viewer count is behind, the actual youtube studio is more accurate
@@Kyplanet893 can you make colonizationn of
colonization of what
also i already said to you that i ended the colonization of the solar system series lol
@@Kyplanet893 of this vid
I thought "Bare rocks are not supposed to do that" was about variability in the eclipse depths of the b planet. Did I misremember?
Trappist-1, a red dwarf star engulfed in the darkness of the vast universe, casts a shadow over a distinctive and captivating planetary system. With a modest mass only 9% that of the Sun and a radius just slightly larger than Jupiter, Trappist-1 appears to highlight a story of deep space pioneering. The seven planets of this system are all located within a surprisingly close distance from the parent star, when the distance between them is only a few million kilometers, all together narrower than the distance from Mercury to the Sun in the system. Our Sun. The proximity and special position of the planets to their host star provides a very special environment for scientific research, by opening up the possibility of alien life or at least the possibility of alien life. provides deeper insight into the formation and evolution of planetary systems.
why are you posting ai generated paragraphs
@@Kyplanet893 So sorry. I'm testing an AI for video summarization but it doesn't seem to be very good, right?
We must take James Webb results with a huge pinch of salt. As the technology does not give conclusive results.
Who wouldve thought an extremely new instrument cannot be completely accurate when measuring from 41 Lightyears away and trying to measure something that would literally appear as a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a pixel in the highest definition screen most have feasible access to, and also in an extremely active star system where the other bodies can fairly easily interfere with the data; Try looking for a single bacterium and stare at it for several days on the head of a pin from 5 miles away at noon thats how hard it is.
All scientific experiments and explanations are speculative, thats why you use evidence to support the explanation… and we are going with ones that best suit the most recent observations from our best instruments… like literally all of science ever. Also, Kyplanets does repeatedly say that it is speculative and subject to change several times because research on Exoplanets is constantly changing and on going… the field is less than 30 years old at this point
@@Dianasaurthemelonlord7777 You're so hot for that
Just what i needed :D thank you for making this video!!
There Is nothing interesting in trappist 1 the unique thing interesting about It Is That there aré 3 planets That can supoort life
There are plenty of interesting things about it. Wdym?
@@Meat_the_turtleExactly. This person is so rude, and even sort of dumb.
get out
