In 2018, NASA launched a trump card to hunt life at 7 Earth-like planets

At the end of a very successful press conference at 14:00 on February 22, 2017 (ie 2 am on February 23, 2017 in Vietnam time), NASA was happy to announce the discovery of the Spitzer telescope's shock: Found System Sun version 2.0 is called TRAPPIST-1. Located about 40 light-years from Earth, in the constellation Aquarius, the Solar System 2.0 has seven Earth-like planets around their massive star.

NASA scientists in turn named them with names: TRAPPIST-1 (mother star) and 7 sub-planets, respectively TRAPPIST-1b, 1c, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1g and 1h.

NASA is planning to launch March 2017 TESS satellite (trump card 1) and James Webb telescope (trump card 2) in October 2018 to "total" search and measure things. Suitable event for life at surfaces as well as 7 extrasolar planets in the Solar System 2.0.

Like the Kepler observatory, the TESS satellite NASA plans to launch in March 2017 will use the method used to detect alien planets when their host star sheds light.

As planned, TESS will observe about 200,000 stars at hundreds of light-years away from Earth.

7 months later, NASA plans to launch James Webb infrared telescope (JWST) in October 2017. NASA is expected to take the James Webb telescope to explore the surface of the outer planets of the Solar System 2.0.

Earlier, Spitzer Space Telescope (SST), worth $ 720 million, was launched into space by NASA on August 25, 2003 with the mission to explore the life of planets outside the Solar System.

Speaking of the risky possibilities that threaten the seeds of life at extraterrestrial astronomers, NASA astronomers say, the universe always has dangerous environments for life, including wind. sun, solar storm.

According to astronomer from Liege University, Belgium Michael Gillon, the mother star TRAPPIST-1 is a "calm" star. It's just like a giant molten plasma ball.

This makes scientists hopeful, TRAPPIST-1 is gentle enough for the planets to spin around it, enabling them to sprout and maintain life - just like how the Earth welcomes their Sun. me.

According to NASA scientists, the discovery of Solar System 2.0 is just the beginning. Journey to discover other great secrets awaiting scientists ahead.

In the case, the Solar System 2.0 is a dead star system, it doesn't mean that the mission to find alien life and aliens on Earth is delayed.

"In the universe, which planet is hiding the life we ​​have not yet discovered?", We currently do not know the exact answer, but one thing is certain:

"In the next few billion years, when our Sun runs out of fuel and the Solar System will only be a cold system, it is very likely that TRAPPIST-1 is" ​​a new "stop for us."

Mother star TRAPPIST-1 will slowly burn hydrogen and gradually form a life environment for another 10,000 billion years. This time is 700 times the time that the universe existed. At that time, life can completely begin.
