Cassidy Jones Reports on "Space Race Part 2"

      For the first time,researchers have possibly found 3 earth-like planets that orbit an ultracool dwarf  star, The ultracool dwarf star, TRAPPIST-1 i's at the end of the range for what classifies as a star: half the temperature and a tenth the mass of the sun. TRAPPIST-1 is red, barely larger than Jupiter and too dim to be seen with the naked eye or even amateur telescopes from Earth.It was overlooked until Belgium researcher, Michael Gillion, took a risk to study beyond our galaxy; its' definitely paid off. 

     History always repeats itself; it is likely to say that countries around the world will begin to research more on these habitable planets, found very similar. Just like the Space race during the Cold war (1950s).
