New JWST/MIRI phase curves of TRAPPIST-1 b and c. We directly constrain both dayside and nightside emission of temperate Earth-sized planets for the first time. The strong day–night contrast rules out thick atmospheres. www.exotic.uliege.be/cms/c_136702... www.nature.com/articles/s41...

First Thermal Mapping of Temperate Earth-sized Exoplanets
The James Webb Space Telescope has, for the first time, mapped the temperature distribution of the temperate, Earth-sized rocky exoplanets TRAPPIST-1 b and c, showing that they are likely devoid of th...

✨ 10 years ago today, our small TRAPPIST telescope in Chile spotted the first planet transiting the star later named TRAPPIST-1. 7 Earth-sized worlds followed — 3 in the habitable zone 🌍 Why not make Sept 17 = #TRAPPIST1Day? 🚀🔭 #TRAPPIST1 #Exoplanets #JWST

Why a Hint of an Atmosphere on this Alien Planet is Such a Big Deal
A monumental sign of an atmosphere on TRAPPIST-1e could be the precursor to finally finding a living world around another star
