The 7 Planets of TRAPPIST-1 Have Surprisingly Similar Properties 
By Ryan Whitwam on January 26, 2021
Astronomers are getting very good at hunting for exoplanets with a little help from powerful ground and space-based telescopes. We’re no longer finding one planet here and there — we’re discovering entire solar systems. TRAPPIST-1 has been of particular interest with its system of seven planets, discovered in 2016 and 2017. A new study has confirmed that all these planets are small and rocky like Earth, and they’re all surprisingly similar to each other. 

The TRAPPIST-1 system was originally spotted using the TRAPPIST telescope in Chile. At the time, astronomers believed all the planets would turn out to be rocky, and several are in the habitable zone of the star. TRAPPIST-1 is a red dwarf, so those potentially habitable planets are all very close with solar years measured in Earth days. All seven exoplanets are closer to TRAPPIST-1 than Mercury is to our sun. 

The ream led by Erik Agol at the University of Washington was able to estimate the masses of all the planets by observing them as they transited in front of the star. Combined with orbital timing, the scientists have a better handle on both the mass and diameter of the exoplanets. That means we can also find the mass — and here’s where things get weird. They are all eight percent less dense than they would be if they had the same composition as Earth.

The TRAPPIST-1 Habitable Zone
The TRAPPIST-1 system contains a total of seven planets, all around the size of Earth.Three of them -- TRAPPIST-1e, f and g -- dwell in their stars so-called habitable zone. The habitable zone, or Goldilocks zone, is a band around every star (shown here in green) where astronomers have calculated that temperatures are just right -- not too hot, not too cold -- for liquid water to pool on the surface of an Earth-like world.

While TRAPPIST-1b, c and d are too close to be in the systems likely habitable zone, and TRAPPIST-1h is too far away, the planets discoverers say more optimistic scenarios could allow any or all of the planets to harbor liquid water. In particular, the strikingly small orbits of these worlds make it likely that most, if not all of them, perpetually show the same face to their star, the way our moon always shows the same face to the Earth. This would result in an extreme range of temperatures from the day to night sides, allowing for situations not factored into the traditionalhabitable zonedefinition. The illustrations shown for the various planets depict a range of possible scenarios of what they could look like.

The system has been revealed through observations from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope and the ground-based TRAPPIST (TRAnsiting Planets and PlanetesImals Small Telescope) telescope, as well as other ground-based observatories. The system was named for the TRAPPIST telescope.

Holding Space [Desert Trax]

Oxymoron is a journey into vintage electronic dreams, recalling the golden age sound of experimental synth pioneers. Each track unfolds slowly, rich with breathing arpeggios, pulsing analog rhythms and beautiful, immersive textures. Classic hardware takes center stage - ARP 2600, EMS Synthi AKS, Korg Minipops 7, ARP Sequencer and RMI Harmonic Synthesizer - creating living soundscapes you can dive into. 15 epic pieces that blend 70s/80s nostalgia with vibrant analog life.

Neon Convexity Sincere

Collected by our Swiss activist dj Cyril Miserez aka Mizoo, 
[ Greenosophy ] is a vibrant musical journey composed of 11 unique and hypnotic chapters. From deep ambient to lush progressive grooves, [ Greenosophy ] offers fresh chlorophyll visions, leafy rhythms and luxuriant melodies. Mizoo believes that music can develop a sense of empathy between people, philosophical reflections on our thoughts and acts; a point of view and a way of life he develops in this compilation. 

Immerse yourself in this lush music dreamed by international artists Mnnsk (Switzerland), Rildrim (Spain), Liquid Stranger (USA), Sesen (Greece), Cell (France), Ajja (Switzerland), Tripswitch (UK), Solar Fields (Sweden), Miktek (Greece), James Murray (UK) and Cygna (Malta).

about
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain Astronaut Ape speaking. Welcome aboard Flight 420! We are about to start take-off procedures and should be high above the clouds in a few minutes. Progressive grooves, dub-like basslines, and space melodies will be served shortly after that. The weather is clear and sunny, and our trip will take approximately one hour. So please sit back, relax, and enjoy your flight. Thank you for choosing Microcosmos Airlines!

Re-Pattern

three women walk through the twilight in the mighty forest, all overgrown with moos, the last beam of sunlight flickers through the trees, waiting for the glowing fire. three women ask for an audience, falling in trance while singing and dancing, to tempt the glowing fire. three woman are welcomed and heard, 1000 firefly’s appear, sparkling and dancing in the silver moon, one with the glowing fire.

Tracing the line between drifting journeys of downtempo soundscapes and upbeat psy-electronica, the new album from Lauge expresses the nebulous nature of his sound. While mostly contemplative and beautifully melancholic, the album also features some light-spirited and danceable tracks, making 'Dawn' a truly coalescent experience. The album also bears the sonic imprints of 'Feeding Spring' in two collaborations.

This is the 75th Ambient Sessions presented by Deep Electronics. The monthly released session brings you the best and the most diversity Ambient music can offer.

I want to make a pilgrimage
back to our homeland
of sand, blood, and ripened figs.

To unearth the garden I planted in another life
the roots of which might still cling
to their moorings in the earth,
even after this long storm of upheaval.

I want to whisper your forbidden name
unto the ears of the warm winds
that my voice might ride the gusts unto you,
break upon your back, and cause you to look up
and think of me as we walk the long path
back to one another.
By L.M. Browning - Upon the Desert Wind

Voglio fare un pellegrinaggio
di nuovo nella nostra patria
di sabbia, sangue e fichi stagionati.

Per portare alla luce il giardino che ho piantato in un'altra vita
le cui radici potrebbero ancora aggrapparsi
ai loro ormeggi nella terra,
anche dopo questa lunga tempesta di sconvolgimenti.

Voglio sussurrare il tuo nome proibito
fino alle orecchie dei venti caldi
che la mia voce possa cavalcare le raffiche fino a te,
rompersi sulle tue spalle e farti alzare lo sguardo
e pensa a me mentre percorriamo il lungo sentiero
di nuovo l'uno all'altro.
L.M. Browning - Sul vento del deserto
