The star planets TRAPPIST-1 could not survive

The "life-sustaining" star system that we discovered is composed of seven planets orbiting a cold dwarf named TRAPPIST-1 that has shocked and excited the entire scientific community as well as us. . The planets in this star system can have water, have a stable climate and are only 39 light years away.

But the closer you look, the more starry this system becomes. Scientists have discovered that why TRAPPIST-1 is so unstable , or that those three Earth-like planets have an extremely powerful magnetosphere, or that they are planets that cannot exist. living.

A research team led by astronomer Krisztián Vida at the Konkoly Observatory, Hungary, analyzed light patterns obtained in the K2 mission carried out by NASA's Kepler space telescope. During the 80-day period, the research team obtained 42 sudden flashes of light from TRAPPIST-1, five of which were "big-point" bursts, meaning they created a lot. The big energy boom at the same time lit up.

The star system TRAPPIST-1 is very unstable.

The power of the most powerful energy explosion we measured from TRAPPIST-1 is comparable to the extreme solar storm phenomenon that occurred in 1859, or the Carrington (Carrington Event) event. If that phenomenon happens today, it could cause the entire global communications system to stop completely.

The question that many people ask is if the Earth can survive the Carrington event mentioned above, then why are aliens (assuming they are real) on TRAPPIST-1? The first difficulty that the inhabitants of the remote star system encountered was that the storms attacked the planet in a rush, only 28 hours apart. Almost the other planets were attacked continuously.

TRAPPIST-1 created many big energy booms at the same time.

Second, the star-like storms of TRAPPIST-1 are much more powerful than the Sun is about several hundred to several thousand times. According to a recent study, to make a planet's atmosphere stable after such an attack from outer space, it takes 30,000 years. So in the short 28 hours, the planet's atmosphere will be hard to stand after continuous attacks. Not to mention that the distance from the other planets to its central star is much closer than the distance from the Earth to the Sun.

The atmosphere on the planets of TRAPPIST-1 changes constantly.

All of that evidence leads us to conclude that these continuous attacks will make the planet's atmosphere extremely unstable, life on those planets will be hard to stand. OK.

"Explosive cases on TRAPPIST-1 will be a huge obstacle to life on planets around stars that can sustain life, when the atmosphere on those planets changes constantly and cannot return to a stable state , "the research team concluded.

See what Google has done for Doodle on the day of the discovery of these seven planets.Now then.

To be able to withstand those continuous attacks, the planet's magnetic book on TRAPPIST-1 must be extremely strong, tens to several hundred times stronger than the Earth. It seems that this star system is hard to maintain.

However, there is still some small hope, as this research has not yet been censored by other scientists. Maybe we still have better results.
