Hunt for alien life zooms in on newly discovered solar system

The video discusses the discovery of exoplanets 230 trillion miles away, using transit photometry. Researchers found seven Earth-like planets orbiting an ultracool brown dwarf, Trappist-1. These planets may have liquid water, making them potential candidates for life. The video explains the concept of tidal locking and the unique living conditions on these planets. Future research with the James Webb Space Telescope aims to analyze their atmospheres for life indicators.
