I hope when we die we have the ability to travel the cosmos to see all of these sights. I know that wish isn’t science based, but I still hope…
Bit of wrong information in the article. The system is 73 light years away (22 parsecs) according to the paper, not 190 ly, it’s not even a parsec to light year conversion error, because 73 parsecs is 248 light years. And yet multiple articles covering this discovery have the same error (referencing each other?)
Original paper here: [https://arxiv.org/pdf/2508.14176](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2508.14176) Could be interesting to see if both systems are larger, could have a double TRAPPIST-1 on our hands if that’s the case, which would be very cool.
