This illustration shows two Earth-sized worlds passing in front of their parent red dwarf star, which is much smaller and cooler than our sun. The planets, TRAPPIST-1b and TRAPPIST-1c, reside 40 light-years away.

Potentiellement habitable et considérée comme la plus ancienne planète connue, la superterre Kapteyn b (ici dans un dessin d'artiste) est en orbite autour de la naine rouge Kapteyn. L'étoile Omega du Centaure occupe l’arrière-plan. Les instruments de la nouvelle génération permettront d'étudier les atmosphères de telles exoplanètes pour y déceler des molécules liées à la vie telle que nous la connaissons. Mais la quantité de données à analyser sera énorme. © PHL, UPR Arecibo, Aladin Sky Atla...

An imagined view from the surface of one of the three newfound TRAPPIST-1 exoplanets. The planets have sizes and temperatures similar to those of Venus and Earth, making them attractive scientific targets in the search for potentially habitable planets beyond our solar system. (ESO/M.

This illustration shows a star behind a shattered comet. Observations of the star KIC 8462852 by NASA's Kepler and Spitzer space telescopes suggest that its unusual light signals are likely from dusty comet fragments, which blocked the light of the star as they passed in front of it in 2011 and 2013. The comets are thought to be traveling around the star in a very long, eccentric orbit. Spitzer Space Telescope, Hubble Space, Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking, Milky Way
