Seven of the stars mapped by Kaltenegger and
Faherty are known to host possibly rocky
exoplanets thought to be passable candidates for
harboring liquid water—and thus life as we
know it—on their surface. One of these, the
world called Ross 128 b, was in Earth’s transit
zone for about 2,000 years. It “saw” our planet
between the 10th century B.C. and the 10th
century A.D., a time period comprising the reign
of Alexander the Great, the fall of Rome and the
zenith of the Mayan civilization. But the best
known view is yet to come and exists around
another star called TRAPPIST-1. This star is
encircled by seven approximately Earth-sized
planets. Four are at the right distance from
TRAPPIST-1 to conceivably support life,
Kaltenegger says. The star and its retinue of
worlds will enter Earth’s transit zone in about
1,600 years.
