Habitable Planets? - Julia Hunt

https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/05/world/trappist-potentially-habitable-exoplanets/index.html

This article talks about the TRAPPIST planet system, a small and very close cluster of planets similar to earth. TRAPPIST-1e is the closest to Earth in mass, density, and radii, but has no atmosphere. Other planets have supposed atmosphere, but they'll have to conduct more research.
You can't really connect this to APUSH, besides the unsureness of venturing across the Atlantic.
This is just really cool how special Earth is, and how even 40 light years away, we can't find another Earth.
