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.

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, manages the Spitzer Space Telescope mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. Science operations are conducted at the Spitzer Science Center at Caltech in Pasadena. Spacecraft operations are based at Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company, Littleton, Colorado. Data are archived at the Infrared Science Archive housed at Caltech/IPAC. Caltech manages JPL for NASA.

Carbon Based Lifeforms - Sacred Fire 05 - Boom Festival 2014

Carbon Based Lifeforms are Johannes Hedberg and Daniel Segerstad from Sweden. CBL itself was formed in 1996, as an offshoot from other projects, but soon became their focal point, culminating in their first release on 'mp3.com' in 1998.

The goal of CBL is "to combine earth and space in fine-tuned, but still solid, musical visions, seldom forgetting the irreplaceable TB-303"

Erratic Patterns

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.

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. 

The last month of this unrealistic and strange year sees the set by Demetrio Cecchitelli. He debuts on the session with a more melancholic sound to review 2020 but slowly builds up into a more new positive perspective. A perfect session to end this year.

I would like to thank all artists that have contributed the Ambient Sessions in 2020. See you again in 2021.

Bio:
Demetrio Cecchitelli is a  22-year-old research and musician from Italy, working with electroacoustic, electronics and ambient music aestethics. 

Tracklist:
01. Richard Skelton - Stolen Ground
