to our home around the universe.

TRAPPIST-1d isn't the Earth-like planet scientists had hoped it to be, according to JWST data

"At this point, we can rule out TRAPPIST-1d from a list of potential
Earth twins or cousins."
There's bad news for our hopes of habitable planets existing around TRAPPIST-1, with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) finding no
evidence for an Earth-like atmosphere on a third world orbiting the red
dwarf.
However, that still leaves four other planets in orbit around TRAPPIST-1
that could be habitable, with at least two or three of them in what is regarded as the "habitable zone" where temperatures would be suitable
for liquid water to exist —- assuming an Earth-like atmosphere that can retain heat. ----
