Four of the planets is recognized to be in the stars habitable zone so the potensial for life is there:
>As many as four of the planets (d, e, f, g) are potentially hospitable to life, having orbits in the star's habitable zone.

I can't wait for the analysis of the atmospheres of rocky planets in the habitable zone; like the Trappist-1 system. This could lead to our first glimpse of life in the universe other than planet earth, if we're lucky!
Anyone have an idea when we'll get the first results of that?

Reply to [NASA on Twitter] Newly-discovered asteroid 2023 DZ2 will pass Earth more than 100,000 miles (161,000 km) away–about half the distance to the Moon–making its close approach at 3:51 p.m. EDT (12:51 p.m. PDT) by ICumCoffee
NASA also says this:
"Newly-discovered asteroid 2023 DZ2 will sail safely past Earth today. Asteroids pass our planet safely all the time, but a close approach by one of this size (140–310 ft, or 43–95 m) happens only about once per decade. (There is no known threat for at least the next 100 years.)"
