Presently, no Earthling knows for sure, but the featured illustration depicts a reasoned guess based on observational data taken by NASA&#8217;s Sun-orbiting Spitzer Space Telescope. In 2017, four more Earth-sized planets were found by Spitzer, including TRAPPIST-1f, in addition to three discovered in 2015 from the ground. From the planet&#8217;s surface, near the mild terminator between night and day, you might see water, ice, and rock on the ground, while water-based clouds might hover above. Past the clouds, the small central star TRAPPIST-1 would appear more red than our Sun, but angularly larger due to the close orbit. With seven known Earth-sized planets &#8212; many of which pass near each other &#8212; the TRAPPIST-1 system is not only a candidate to have life, but intercommunicating life &#8212; although a preliminary search has found no obvious transmissions. via NASA <a href=\"http:\/\/ift.tt\/2u2C9mW\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you could stand on the surface of the newly discovered Earth-sized exoplanet TRAPPIST-1f, what would you see?
