This artistic representation of the TRAPPIST-1 red dwarf star showcases its very active nature. The star appears to have many stellar spots (colder regions of its surface, similar to sunspots) and flares. The exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 b, the closest planet to the system’s central star, can be seen in the foreground with no apparent atmosphere. The exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 g, one of the planets in the system’s habitable zone, can be seen in the background to the right of the star. The TRAPPIST-1 system contains seven Earth-sized exoplanets.

Aerial view taken by drone in June 2019 of the upland tundra site at Trail Valley Creek in Canada's Northwest Territories where automated and manual chamber gas flux measurements are taken. The boardwalk provides access to each chamber site without disturbing the vegetation and affecting gas fluxes within the chambers, the white tent houses the gas analyzer and control system for the automated chamber system, and a micrometeorological station and eddy covariance tower can be seen at the bottom of the photo.

The gravitational tug from a more massive planet in the system, shown as a blue dot in the background, may result in internal heating and volcanic eruptions on this exoplanet – as much as Jupiter’s moon Io, the most geologically active body in the Solar System.
