X-O Planet Ping!.................WEBB Ping!
Who knew?
Trappist = Great Beer!!!
It sucks that we have to look at these things from afar and guess instead of actually going there. when i was a kid, things were moving forward so fast I thought we’d have condos on Neptune by now. But the country has changed. The folks that were able to do things like that are very very old. No one to replace them. It’s government cheese and baking in our future. not star trek
The Webb is money well-spent.
“Could”. But 40 light years away, who cares?
Is that an actual photo from the Webb telescope or an artists rendition?
Wait. They know it has a rocky,shifting crust? From 41 light years away? Pull the other one.
I predict that 10,000 years from now, Earth residents will still be making fictional movies about interstellar space travel.
Either the money, or the technology, will still lock human beings inside our own solar system.
The Trappist 1-b planet orbits the ultra-cool dwarf star, TRAPPIST-1, 1.73 million km away, every 1.5 days
The axis tilt is estimated near 90 degrees, which means the planet’s north pole is constantly facing the star.
Surface temperature on the sun’s side is estimated to be over 400 deg F.
No life, much less intelligent life should be expected on that planet.
“While the effect occurs on Titan, those clouds are methane, not hydrocarbon.”
I quit reading there
Methane is CH4.
That is one Carbon and 4 Hydrogen
Article is bogus.
