The recent discovered dwarf star Trappist-1 consists of seven habitable planets. The recent research has found that these planets are so close to each other that alien life could hop between them.

According to New Scientist, researchers believe when a meteorite hits the surface of one of the Earth-like planets, the resulting debris could fly off into another one. However, this could make alien life on the newly discovered Trappist-1 systems more likely than previously thought.

The researchers from Harvard University have reported that bacteria and other forms of life might be able to travel between the processes called panspermia. The meteors could transport the building blocks for life, such as hydrogen and water between planets.

Cornell University Library has reported that the tiny stowaways could commute between Trappist-1's habitable planets that is 100 times quicker than between Earth and Mars. Researchers believe this makes them 1,000 times more likely to be able to transfer life between them.

The scientific report has stated that three of the planets in the Trappist 1 are "e" "f" and "g" that is maintaining perfect conditions for life to thrive. Scientists are very hopeful that if simple molecules can travel between the planets, it could increase the chance of having life on Trappist-1

However, the Trappist-1 worlds are relatively close together but are still times the distance between Earth and the moon. But they would still have to survive space radiation which few organisms are able to do.

The newly discovered planets are comparatively near neighbors to Earth. It is just 39 light years away from the Earth. The scientists hope, the Trappist-1 worlds are believed to be at least one billion years old and could have lakes and oceans.

Meanwhile, there are at least three chances of life on the planets of the Trappist 1. The scientists hope that this will surely change the perception about of alien life.
