According to reports, Scientists from NASA have discovered a new solar system, 39 light years away in the Aquarius constellation, with seven Earth-like planets. Further, they added that these planets could support life as they are warm, rocky and are in the habitable zone. The star at the centre of this solar system is called TRAPPIST-1, which is less than a tenth the size of the sun and about a quarter as warm. While the closest planet takes a day and a half to complete an orbit, the outermost one takes as many as 20 days to complete its course. Notably, this is the first time that so many Earth-sized planets have been found orbiting the same star.
