TRAPPIST1h

TRAPPIST-1h is an exoplanet located approximately 39 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Aquarius. It orbits the ultra-cool red dwarf star TRAPPIST-1, which is significantly smaller and cooler than our Sun. TRAPPIST-1h is the seventh planet in the TRAPPIST-1 system, discovered in 2017 by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. The planet is roughly the size of Earth, with an estimated radius of about 1.1 times that of Earth. It orbits within the habitable zone of its star, where conditions could potentially allow for liquid water to exist on the surface. TRAPPIST-1h receives about the same amount of stellar radiation as Earth does from the Sun, making it a candidate for further study in the search for extraterrestrial life. The planet's atmosphere, if it exists, is of particular interest to scientists, as it could provide clues about the planet's potential habitability. However, due to the challenges of observing such a distant and small planet, much about TRAPPIST-1h remains unknown. Future missions and telescopes, such as the James Webb Space Telescope, may provide more detailed information about this intriguing exoplanet.
