In February of 2017, the scientific community rejoiced as NASA announced that a nearby star (TRAPPIST-1) had a system of no less than seven rocky planets.

In particular, they have been attempting to learn if any of the planets located in the stars' habitable zones (HZ) could actually be habitable.
