00:00Could alien life be chilling on a planet 453 million years away by car?
00:04Meet TRAPPIST-1e, Earth's possible twin in a distant star system.
00:09Orbiting a cool red dwarf 40 light-years from us,
00:12TRAPPIST-1e is a rocky exoplanet in just the right spot.
00:16Not too hot, not too cold.
00:18That sweet zone means it might have liquid water,
00:21a key ingredient for life as we know it.
00:23Scientists use NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to peer into its secrets.
00:28And guess what?
00:29TRAPPIST-1e may have an Earth-like atmosphere rich in nitrogen.
00:33That's a big deal.
00:34Because other nearby planets in the same system?
00:37Just bare rocks scorched by their wild little star.
00:40But don't pack your space bags yet.
00:42We've only seen the planet transit its star a few times.
00:45Which means, we still don't know for sure if it has an atmosphere or not.
00:49Still, even a maybe in the search for life beyond Earth?
00:52That's huge.
00:53If TRAPPIST-1e can hold on to its atmosphere,
00:56it could reshape how we search for life in the Universe.
00:59Because if life can survive near these common dwarf stars,
01:03why are we orbiting the Sun?
01:05Something like you're watching when you're looking at.
01:07So it's going to be a place where it's going to be,
01:08it could not be a space where it's going.
01:09They're going to die.
01:10Like, here's the place where it is.
01:11It's going to be a space where there may be a space for the new stars.
01:12So there's no place where you can go to the students.
01:14Like, see the �すごい space.
01:15It's going to be a place where it is.
