#TRAPPIST1 is the smallest, nearest star with planets close to Earth-size in the Habitable Zone, that transit. Perfect target for #JWST.

given the power of
#jwst and proximity of the#trappist1 system, what kinds of images can we expect? direct imaging of planets?
We have imaging capability, but the objects are so small and far they will be dots. #JWST is powerful for atmospheric studies.

good enough! spectrography will tell us quite a bit. I hope we're bringing our radio astronomy resources to bear as well

Multiwavelength astronomy is a very powerful tool - I'm sure many telescopes will be studying this system!
