I am very
surprised that such a system is dynamically stable.
You'd expect planets that close together to perturb one
another quite a bit. I'm looking forward to reading more
about this.
And yes,
it's a gorgeous, unexpected image, isn't it? I love
living in our current age of discovery.

From
that article: "In contrast to our sun, the TRAPPIST-1
star – classified as an ultra-cool dwarf – is so cool
that liquid water could survive on planets orbiting very
close to it, closer than is possible on planets in our solar
system. All seven of the TRAPPIST-1 planetary orbits are
closer to their host star than Mercury is to our sun. The
planets also are very close to each other. If a person was
standing on one of the planet’s surface, they could gaze
up and potentially see geological features or clouds of
neighboring worlds, which would sometimes appear larger than
the moon in Earth's sky.The
planets may also be tidally locked to their star, which
means the same side of the planet is always facing the star,
therefore each side is either perpetual day or night. This
could mean they have weather patterns totally unlike those
on Earth, such as strong winds blowing from the day side to
the night side, and extreme temperature changes."That
is a cool image - standing on one planet and seeing that
level of detail on another planet with the naked eye.
Somehow feels like E.R. Burroughs' John Carter of
Mars-ish.
