Two warm Earth-sized exoplanets and an Earth-sized candidate in the M5V-M6V binary system TOI-2267 | Astronomy & Astrophysics (A&A) Astronomy & Astrophysics (A&A) is an international journal which publishes papers on all aspects of astronomy and astrophysics

Three Earth-sized planets in a compact binary system 🌟

Our TRAPPIST & SPECULOOS telescopes helped confirm TOI-2267 — the first known binary with transiting planets around both stars!

✨ 10 years ago today, our small TRAPPIST telescope in Chile spotted the first planet transiting the star later named TRAPPIST-1.

7 Earth-sized worlds followed — 3 in the habitable zone 🌍

Why not make Sept 17 = #TRAPPIST1Day? 🚀🔭

Why a Hint of an Atmosphere on this Alien Planet is Such a Big Deal A monumental sign of an atmosphere on TRAPPIST-1e could be the precursor to finally finding a living world around another star

First #JWST results for TRAPPIST-1e are out 🚀

The royal visit to SPECULOOS filled me with pride for Belgium — but disappointment in my university, @universitedeliege.bsky.social
