TRAPPIST-1 is a red dwarf star about 41 light years in the constellation Aquarius. The interest in the planets in the habitable zone is that the conditions could allow for the existence of liquid water. The seven planets were discovered through transit photometry where tiny drops in brightness of the star are observed due to the passage of the planets in front of the star. The planets that orbit the star all have fairly short orbital periods from 1.5 days to 20 days.
