Trappist-1 Memes

The James Webb Space Telescope breaking into exoplanet research like a horror movie villain is peak astronomical humor. After spending $10 billion and 25 years in development, Webb isn't just peeking at these TRAPPIST-1 planets—it's slashing through our previous imaging limitations with murderous efficiency. Those seven Earth-sized worlds have nowhere to hide from Webb's infrared capabilities. Sure, we're excited about potentially habitable planets, but Webb's approach screams "HERE'S JOHNNY!" to the entire exoplanet community. Nothing says "advancing science" quite like stalking distant worlds with a giant golden hexagonal knife.
