Astronomers have detected no less than seven Earth-sized worlds orbiting a cool dwarf star known as TRAPPIST-1.
TRAPPIST-1 is an ultracool dwarf star that is approximately 8% the mass of and 11% the radius of our Sun.
I'm sure many of you are up to date with this if you love space, but this is just for those who haven't yet :)
