I didn't realize it was a real thing. But being 40 light-years away is a bit of a downer

These were discovered by a Belgian scientist who called them TRAPPIST. The whole search plan was called Speculoos. I'm fucking proud !

this is so cute omg

thank you for sharing this in downloadable form! I love this gif!

Something about that smile at the end makes me really happy.

Its very Steven Universe-ish

Glad to see someone else say so! It was my first thought. Super cute

Let's just hope there aren't any Clusters festering inside these planets...
ChristinaRnne
In Denmark it was told in the news before NASA spilles the beans

The whole thing is great, but the Moon's reaction is priceless.

With 3 planets in the habitable zone there just has to be some sort of alien life there. It's so exciting to think about.
Muffyns
too bad none of us will be alive to find out :c 40k light years away they might not even exist anymore
WhatTheDoey
Man I hope we get to learn more about them
bilbo
Next year there will be a new telescope installed in space and should be able to tell us much more about them

I've been waiting for the James Webb scope to go up for years, I'm so excited the moment is finally approaching!!

Nasa found 7 planets that each hold an unlimited supply of many types of cheese (hence the happy moon).
thegraphiteknight
Nasa found some planets in the goldilocks zone only 40 light years away. Possible water on some.
ZachPutland
"only" "light years" pick only one
Drhuh
NASA announced the discovery of 7 earth like planets around a dwarf star 40 light years from Earth.
Bliffity
Can't we theoretically harvest energy from dwarf stars?
Drhuh
Theoretically!
TheInfernalContraption
What amazes me is that the news only came out yesterday, and already someone has managed to create such a cute and varied cartoon for it.
KarRuptAssassin
Im just glad its not a misrepresentation like the last time nasa did something cool.
MakerOnTheMove
Dude I went to school with made this doodle and many others. He's super talented. And quick.
Haviduck
They made a working trash dove toy the day after it launched
TemporaryUzername
yeah well... ya know... they get paid to do it and its not a long animation or very detailed illustration, soooooo.
OfficialJoeBiden
I know one of the girls who draws these. They're super talented.
funmuffin
well it is literally someones job

63 gigabits, man, 63 gigabits.
itsthevoiceman
Even if they found out an hour before OP posted this, Google has sufficient talent and processing power to crank something like this out.
lucky141
It was told in advance to news agencies and accredited journalists with a non-disclosure agreement, in order to prepare the proper coverage
korbendaIIas
Us common folks found out yesterday. With money comes access - especially a tech giant like google.
rotzverpopelt
Well, the guys at NASA probably googled if they were the first.
ValiantlyFlailing
let's be real, engineers at NASA told their friends at Google asked them to keep a secret and they made this ahead of time.
Duttles
You mean like celebrity imgur gif makers for their quick custom gif-specific responses?
ZigZagZombiesZoom
I mean there's a NASA base a mile away from Google's HQ and those nerds do love to gossip.
Terminology
It wasn't really NASA though, was it? The announcement was at their headquarters, but it was an international joint team?
leonth3duke
Wouldn't surprise me. They already had art work done up of the planets yesterday.
TheInfernalContraption
I Like to think that Google employs a guy whose entire job is to think of things that might be in the news ONE day and draw ALL of them! =P
GoogleFucker
Google employs many people of different talents ;)
johnlock1
Goddamit Jim, my job description was supposed to be a secret.
JNied
This is the logo on Google's website. Google is worth half a trillion dollars. If they want a GIF made, it gets made quick.
MakerOnTheMove
I know the guy that made it. This is his full time job.
JNied
Yeah, well, my dad works at Nintendo!
MakerOnTheMove
Cool! In America or Japan? I know a guy who works for Nintendo in Seattle.
JNied
Uh, well, um, Nintendo America! And also, my dad knows the president of Nintendos!
metalmorgan
EarthSIZED not earth like. Stop misquoting NASA
NotACanadian
Both, actually. 3 in the habitable zone and slightly smaller than Earth.
JamesBluntThatSmartassCunt
In the Goldilocks zone. Even so, that doesn't mean much unless we can tell if they have an atmosphere.
metalmorgan
Well like they said in the conference; An observer would say that 3 planets in our solar system are in said zone
JamesBluntThatSmartassCunt
Exactly right
SteveMND
So, you're saying that 1/3 of these new planets have life? Got it!
metalmorgan
Haha, intelligent life at that
Jupsu
What happened to that NASA idea of spaceship travelling faster than light? Never quite understood which parts were theoretical and which not
Jupsu
As in a spaceship that bends timespace, heard about it "becoming reality with realistic energy requirements" few years back
NotACanadian
That part was theoretical. Before the concept of an Alcubierre drive required energy greater than the mass-energy of Jupiter. With a 1/
NotACanadian
3/ in the first place, you need matter with...negative mass. We don't really know how to do that yet. In theory, though, if you did have

NotACanadian
4/ some negative mass with you, you could work it into a warping spaceship.
Jupsu
ah yes i was under the impression it wasn't needed anymore. I also read somewhere that negative mass may actually not exist at all
Jupsu
something about cosmos inflation explained with a different phenomenon (previously discarded factor Einstein used, his "biggest mistake")
NotACanadian
You could maybe kinda sorta use the Casimir effect to mimic negative mass, but we don't know for sure yet. Also, quantum physics is what 1/
