Some exciting results from Gliese 1132 b. Even if this is inconclusive, it suggests a great possibility for firmer data when the JWST takes a look a couple of years from now. FYI, Gliese 1132 b is estimated to have earthlike size and bulk composition, but at a distance from its star to receive far more radiative heating than Venus. |

ADMIN NOTE: Moved all posts concerning TRAPPIST-1 to this thread, which is dedicated to ground-based exoplanet discoveries. This one's sort of a hybrid, so will retitle that thread as well.
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
