Alien life hopes boosted as water discovered on star system’s planets

At 40 light-years away, the TRAPPIST-1 star system is the closest solar system to Earth that has been discovered.

The solar system was discovered in February by Nasa which found seven planets orbit the relatively dim star.

The newly-discovered solar system has attracted the interest of alien hunters as three of its planets fall into the star’s habitable, or “goldilocks”, zone – the region around a host star where conditions are neither too hot nor too cold to support life.
