Exploring Exoplanets
Welcome! My name is Marshall. I will be your partner in this mission. We have to find similar planets to earth. Are you ready to start?

Tutorial
For every planet you visit, you will get a Planet Card with information to determine its habitability. You can also ask for clues if you are not completely sure! After analyzing every detail you have to determine if the planet is potentially habitable or not. Here you have Earth's Planet Card as an example (you can always access to it to make comparisons).

Awesome!
You figured out that TRAPPIST-1e might support life! Its chilly surface could hide some frozen water, making it an intriguing place for exploration!
Oops!
CoRoT-7b might look interesting, but it’s actually too hot for life. The scorching temperatures make it a harsh environment, unfit for any known forms of life!
With such heat, the chances of having any liquid water are very slim.
It’s very close to its star, which means it gets a lot of radiation and energy.
TRAPPIST-1e’s surface is estimated to be around freezing, but it could still have liquid water in some areas, especially near the equator.
Oops!
TRAPPIST-1e might seem chilly, but it has some interesting features that suggest it could host life, including a possible atmosphere and hidden water!
TRAPPIST-1 is a red dwarf, a much cooler star than the Sun. This means planets must be closer to the star to stay warm.
Its surface reaches extreme temperatures that most things on Earth could not survive.
TRAPPIST-1e orbits very close to its star, but since the star is cooler than the Sun, this short distance keeps the planet in the right temperature range.
The atmosphere is not the kind that would support any life forms we know of.
Earth
Our beautiful and habitable planet!
Earth

The planet is believed to have a thick atmosphere that could help keep temperatures stable, preventing extremes that could otherwise freeze or boil water.
Nice work!
You guessed that CoRoT-7b isn't a place for life. With its extreme heat reaching around 2000°C, it's far too hot for any living things we know of!"
