NotesThe third of the seven known planets in orbit around the red dwarf TRAPPIST-1 in Aquarius. TRAPPIST-1 d is a low-mass terrestrial planet (it has less than half the mass of Earth, and only the outer planet TRAPPIST-1 h has a comparably low mass within its system). Like all of TRAPPIST-1's planets, TRAPPIST-1 d follows a very close, rapid orbit around its star, and so the planet's 'year' lasts a little over four days.
