In its first year of science, the James Webb Space Telescope will examine the TRAPPIST-1 star system, revealed on this day 5 years ago. The TRAPPIST-1 system is made up of 7 Earth-size worlds, with at least 3 considered to be in the habitable zone — the distance from a star where it's not too cold or too hot to allow for liquid water on the surface of a planet.

NASA just made its big announcement and this is the crux of it: The dwarf star TRAPPIST-1, which is located about 39 light-years from Earth, is orbited by 7 (yes SEVEN!) Earth-sized planets, three of which could harbor oceans of water, making them possible homes for life. Exciting news, right? Read our full report: https://goo.gl/5BiRCM | Space.com
