So, we finally got it nailed?

 

Could the uncertainty be caused by a further out planet?

I've refrained from mentioning this for a few months now, but back in February the guys over at Planet Hunters/Exoplanet Explorers found a possible candidate orbiting about every 34 days.

Ooooh, what's the possible size? And how many transits were seen?

I have ran the whole simulation in SpaceEngine. From TRAPPIST-1d, the planets 1b, 1c, and 1e would all reach a size close to that of our Moon in the sky. Even 1f and 1g would reach sizes of at least 10 arcminutes at the closest, which would be enough to see a tiny bit of detail with the naked eye. 1h and ProtoJeb's 8th planet would be recognizable as non-stellar objects.

Thus, I any inhabitants would have a proper understanding of their solar system in even prehistoric times. Interesting.

I am confident that Traptolemaios finds away to construct his own planet in the centre and the others spiralling about. What must not be, cannot be :-)

 

A little OT but interesting: Here is about a planet very close to an A/B star. The planet has a dayside temperature of >4000K. Will completely dissolve loose significant amount of mass over time in the hard radiation. How do these things form in the first place ? We are just at the beginning of understanding solar systems ...

If ProtoJeb's planet "i" with the ~32 day period exists, it could be far/big enough to have moons, which could immediately disprove a planetocentric system.

That melting planet was probably thrown there by a gravitational interaction.

I JUST $#!7 MY PANTS! :o 

(No pun intended)

Seriously, though, that's AMAZING art, there! If only @ProtoJeb21 made the rivers look that good on IA_Revived's TRAPPIST-f!

Wow Really? You Think It was good? Okay Then. I would give out the color map, but It is sort of gone with the wind(Aka I lost it). I could Make it again, but it could take another hour. I Plan To Make All Of The Planets And then Showcase Them in a Banner. Heres Trappist-1g and Trappist-1h!

Trappist-1g. Heavy Cloud Cover, with a gaseous storm on the front.

Trappist-1h. A "Dirty Snowball" Like Pluto, and has a thin atmosphere. I gave it cracks to hint at a subsurface ocean. :wink:

Note: Trappist 1-H has some hidden stuff under it. Find it and tell me what it is!

Trappist-1B! I gave it Liquid Sulfur Lakes(You can see one glowing from heat on the back), as well as it's compact atmosphere.
