On 23 February 2017 NASA reported: Yesterday at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C., NASA announced the discovery of an 'exoplanet' system called TRAPPIST-1—the most Earth-sized planets found in the habitable zone of a single star outside our solar system. The event aired live on NASA Television.

This system of seven rocky worlds—all of them with the potential for water on their surface—is an exciting discovery in the search for life on other worlds, expert panelists said. There is the possibility that future study of this unique planetary system could reveal conditions suitable for life. Global Good News service views this news as a sign of rising positivity in the field of science, documenting the growth of life-supporting, evolutionary trends.
