Everything you should know about TRAPPIST-1 exoplanets

The video discusses NASA's discovery of the Trappist-1 system, which includes seven Earth-like planets. These planets are closer to their star than Mercury is to the Sun, and some may be habitable. The discovery was made using the transit method, and future studies aim to explore the atmospheres of these planets using the James Webb Space Telescope. The video also covers the significance of this discovery in the search for life beyond Earth and the dynamics of planetary systems.
