Astronomers Show Planetary Harmonies Save The TRAPPIST-1 System From Destruction

It is amazing that something like this can happen naturally, and even more amazing that we were even able to find this. The number of events that must have occurred for this to happen is staggering.

d, e and possibly f are in the habitable zone...

d could be habitable near the twilight zone but is much smaller in diameter then the earth.
e probably is the best bet but latest mass estimates show that it could be a fluffer.
f is almost certainly a fluffer.

We will see when we get more data and measurements in the future.

yes, it's an amazing scientific discovery. Scientists have already detected so many new worlds orbiting other stars in our galaxy that I'm really starting to believe that we are probbaly not alone in the Milky way, much less in the universe. Also there's an interesting possibility of aliens living on a rougue planet which is not gravitationally attracted to other more massive objects and freely traveling through space. Really cool stuff. A natural space ship the size of a planet that flies at a speed our fastest probes still cannot reach!

Perhaps, the universe is rife with life/hospitable planets suitable for colonization but aliens just don't want to make contact with us for some reason. Maybe they would have got in touch with us had it not been for your latest presidential elections. Electing Trump as presidend of the wold's major political and military power was the final straw for them and we have been probably written off as gone off the rails out of control civilization... What do you think?

Yes that is incredible. I would guess there were other planets early on that did collide and either formed the current planets or debris was captured by the current planets. In any case the universe has countless millions of things like this in it that will amaze us. Thanks for posting.
