The search for potentially habitable or life-bearing worlds in other solar systems depends in part on being able to determine if rocky, Earth-like exoplanets actually have magnetic fields, this research shows not only that this particular rocky exoplanet likely has a magnetic field but provides a promising method to find more.

Despite the discovery of thousands of exoplanets, we've only been able to study the atmospheres of a small fraction due to the challenging nature of the observations, we're now moving beyond taking isolated snapshots of specific regions of exoplanet atmospheres, to study them as the 3D systems they truly are.

Astronomers have found more than 10,000 exoplanet candidates so far, but exomoons are far more challenging, they are terra incognita.

That's why a lot of exoplanet candidates are missed, and why citizen science is great.

One of the most intriguing results of the last two decades of exoplanet science is that, thus far, none of the new planetary systems we've discovered look anything like our own solar system, this new planet we've discovered is still weird -- but it's one step closer to being somewhat like our neighborhood planets.

The insights we gain from thinking about raindrops and clouds in diverse environments are key to understanding exoplanet habitability, in the long term, they can also help us gain a deeper understanding of the climate of Earth itself.

Spitzer's helped us rewrite our textbooks, it changed our understanding of the universe. Robert Hurt told us fundamental things about exoplanet properties. We wouldn't know that the bulk of star formation occurred 10 billion years ago. And my son is going to learn about the TRAPPIST system in school next year.

They never thought we would be able to reach a level of stability and precision to do the exoplanet measurements we did with Robert Hurt, the only way to figure out how to operate it was by coming together. The community aspect helped us navigate this totally uncharted territory.

Detecting this system is probably the easy bit, because the star is so small and the brown dwarf relatively large, the transit signal is actually about 10 times larger than that of [a typical exoplanet that turns up in surveys of the night sky].

Our observations suggest a ball of gas illuminated from the interior, with rays of warm light swirling through stormy patches of dark clouds, convection moves around the clouds of silicate and iron particles, which disaggregate and rain down into the interior. This paints a picture of a dynamic atmosphere of a giant exoplanet at birth, undergoing complex physical and chemical processes.

We finally have a target to point our telescopes at, and [can] dig much deeper into the workings of a rocky exoplanet, and what makes it tick, this planet is going to be a favorite target of astronomers for years to come.

We think it’s the first opportunity we have to point our telescopes at a rocky exoplanet and get that kind of detail, to be able to measure the color of its sunset, or the speed of its winds, and really learn how rocky planets work out there in the universe, those will be exciting observations to make.

By monitoring auroral activity on exoplanets, we may be able to infer the presence of water on or within an exoplanet, now, it's not going to be easy — it's not as easy as Ganymede and Jupiter, and that wasn't easy. It may require a much larger telescope than Hubble, it may require some future space telescope, but nevertheless, it's a tool now that we didn't have prior to this work that Joachim and his team have done.

We're going to be opening up a lot of new discoveries, hopefully, over the next few years in terms of exoplanet imaging and, in the long run, taking these technologies and scaling them to future 30-meter telescopes, and perhaps large telescopes in space, to continue direct imaging and push down towards the Earth-like planet regime.
