in a pretty basic group think. They figured Sol, and Earth,
were unexceptional. There must be plenty of places very similar
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 rCo- assuming an Earth-like atmosphere that can retain heat. ----
