NASA conference at the agencyGÇÖs headquarters.
They were discussing the finding of seven Earth-sized planets around a nearby ultra-cool dwarf star. Three of these planets are in the habitable zone, that means liquid water can be available on those.
What if life could have evolved on all three of them, and maybe even intelligent life, on all three of them. =ƒæ+=ƒÿê=ƒÿ¦
That would be incredible! Good stuff for a sci-fi book or maybe even cinematic movie.

Two are surely claimed already. One of them is the Mormon planet where Jesus is kickin' it pending his return. The other the Scientology one we learned about in South Park. |

Gradually all will be uncovered before us, together with the greys, aryans and reptilians. Now we only have to wait.

Meanwhile, since the system is close to Earth, David Braben has started that they're modifying the system data in Elite: Dangerous to add the extra planets, and the system itself will have its name changed. Most brown dwarves in E:D are procedurally generated since these kind of stars aren't visible from Earth farther than 40 light years and they don't have a catalog name. This one was added with a fake name and the galaxy building engine gave it a few planets and moons... the moons would be invisible from Earth so they will remain.
As for life on those planets, well, they're dark. Brown dwarves don't emit light, only infrarred, so those planets will be warm enough for liquid water but essentially lit by perennial starlight. So their available energy budget is extremely low...
PS: don't ask me why, I feel inclined to think of that system as T-Rappist One.

I think one of the cool things is that all these planets might be tidally locked to their star. If there is liquid water on these planets, it'd be really cool to see how that affects water distribution and weather patterns. ^-^ |

I thought I'd retire in the rain forest on the east side of the Andes, in Brasil. It's supposed to be the most remote spot on Earth. But these places look even better. |

What is even more interesting is that if life is present on any of the planets the planets might have two evolutionary cycles.
From what I have read is that if planets are close enough together they exchange or transfer atoms back and forth between each planet. Basically like a Capacitor Transfer Chain.
The normal orbits for each habitable planet around TRAPPIST would create Earth like environments but when the planets aligned and the energy transfer started something interesting might happen. Plant life and animals that would normally remain dormant until the extra energy present brought them out of hibernation would create the secondary evolutionary cycle for the aligned planets. The animals and plants would scurry about looking for mates and food to ensure they had enough stored up energy to last through the next hibernation cycle. Once the planets were close to going out of alignment the animals and plants would begin to return to a state of hibernation until the next alignment cycle took place where the new offspring of animals and plants would emerge from their sleep to begin a life that they had dreamed about while in the womb. |

I watched the video and it shows promise of how an exo-planet might be. But at what point would the planet evolve to have humanoid like life is the big question. |

What we know from earth, is that life, when it starts, have a lot of potential to find a way. On earth there were many extinction events, yet, life is still here, inteligent of sorts.

There's a video from the University of Wyoming's AI lab where they simulated the evolution of animals for speed - I thought it was pretty neat.
I don't know what constraints would cause 4 lower and 4 upper limbs to be favored, but it'd be fun to check it out! :) |

Bipedal creatures simulations. Soft-bodied creatures simulations Watching those simulations I see that it all looks so convergent to what we know from biology already. So indeed aliens could have humanoid shapes, if the environments are not a big outtake to what we know from earth.

This is even funnier, it looks like the certain environmental factors are forcing different designs, and those designs, they are so cute.

There's some amusing names being suggested for these new finds, and it's all NASA's fault.
In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

hmmm, low mass class M star and most likely tidally locked planets. Does not sound like a very nice vacation spot unless you want to see a dim eternal sunset/sunrise. =ƒÿP

I watched the video "Learning to Climb" and was amused. Rather funny until I started watching the flopping movements and realized that if the "Sperm" had a spine to support up right movement and another "tail" that it could support its top heavy brain and be able to walk up each new step.

But even if the planets are tidally locked being so close together each planet might be able transfer atomic energy back and forth between each planet allowing for life to be able to more than survive on the dark side of the tidally locked planet.
Basically the tidally locked planet's dark side would transfer energy with the next planets light side facing TRAPPIST-1 where the night side of the planet would be primarily darkness with life possibly being able to evolve to use light that has been reflected by the light side facing planet.
The light side facing planet would also receive a moderate amount of energy transferred from the night side of the first planet which could create some very interesting species such as the Popper Willy Trog and Honking Albino Tree that lives in nearly absolute darkness but generates various honking sounds when it receives light from the light sided tidally locked planet. The Honking Albino Tree turns various shades of white and greys to more effectively transfer or pass on to other HAT's the light that each tree takes in.

I am now curious if this system will be in tutorial for the exoplanet discovery project.
Surely they have to train future planet seekers.

if they come here first, they'll note that every other creature we are either eating them or screwing them (or both)and they'll be wise not to contact the hairless horny monkeys of that little blue planet.

Here is the Space Telescope to watch: Its the WFIRST or Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope that is designed to explore areas of dark energy, exoplanets, and infrared astrophysics.
More importantly exoplanets.
I was reading about honey bees and how they are able to see UV light which humans are not able to see. UV light comes in three flavors, Near, Middle and Far along with Extreme UV. Extreme UV caught my attention because of an interaction with oxygen.
Extreme UV is only present in a vacuum and is blocked by oxygen. Extreme UV is also within the UV scale of 10-180 nm which WFIRST will be looking for. Why is Extreme UV important? If a planet is releasing oxygen into space through natural processes then the Extreme UV would be blocked by oxygen releasing from a planet. As a planet transits its sun normal detection of Extreme UV would be blocked by the planet transiting across the sun which could leave a slight dip in the normal Extreme UV Light Curve being emanated from the Sun that would suggest that a planet within the habitable zone and had oxygen on it would be present.
The larger the volume of Extreme UV that is blocked out would suggest that a larger volume of oxygen was releasing from the planet and that an even larger amount of oxygen volume could be present on the planet allowing for life to exist. Life that would numerous types of insects such as bees, wasps, midges hoverflies and other insects to pollinate flowering plants such cucumbers and zucchini. But if not such flowering plant life was present then wind pollinated crops such as corn, soybean, wheat, etc. might be present.
Why is the honey bee critical in my opinion of discovering habitable planets? Honey bees see in a few colors unlike humans do and see the world in an every changing light spectrum to find the best flowers to take nectar from, honey bees will never pollinate a red flower because they see it as black and black does not have a reflective UV trait.
Think of a blacklight.
Planets that orbit a sun that is colored red would not be pollinated by honey which are responsible for 80% of the pollination of all flowers on Earth. Therefore the planet with a red sun would have to have insects that are attracted to the color red in the light spectrum and plants there were red in color in order to produce flowering plants. Not a very diverse and evolving planet.
Honey bees see in green, blue and purple and to some extent orange and yellow with their favorite colors being blue and purple and violet.
Planets that orbits Blue, Orange, Yellow, White and Green Supergiants might have a varying species of honey bee that would be attracted to the color of the flower that is based off of the sun. White suns, like our own, are multi-spectral meaning that the entire spectrum of light is created that creates the numerous colors of the flowers that we see.
Suns such as the Blue Giant which produces the color blue that bees like would possible only create blue based flowers depending of course on how the Blue Giants light is diffused through the other elements that are part of the planet such as water evaporating.
