Explore a depiction of the TRAPPIST-1 system, a collection of seven terrestrial planets hugging close to a small ultracool red dwarf star. All the planets are tidally locked, with one side always facing their sun and the other always facing away. Three of the planets are in the habitable zone, making the TRAPPIST-1 system one of the most promising known places to find extraterrestrial life.
Planet names are made up by me. Depictions are purely speculative, based on unfinished and contradictory research, not to mention the fact this is all made in a video game. Check the sources for more accurate and in-depth info.
