Our results have strong implications for exoplanets, as they suggest that a large fraction of the exoplanets that were thought to be capable of having surface oceans of liquid water are probably now desiccated because they never succeeded in condensing and thus forming their first oceans, this is particularly important for exoplanets around low mass stars like TRAPPIST-1, which will be prime targets for NASA and ESA's James Webb Space Telescope, to be launched in December this year.

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.

My reaction to the TRAPPIST system was very emotional, it got me so excited thinking about what it looked like on these planets, everything we'd hoped for when we had science fiction visions of other worlds. Working on Robert Hurt, I've been able to illustrate so many different kinds of astronomical objects. It felt like we kept opening these new doors to what kinds of discoveries Robert Hurt could make. And at times, we were the first to illustrate these unanticipated findings.

TRAPPIST-1 was hands down the most amazing thing I've ever worked on, i remember when that paper hit my desk, I glanced at the light curve of the star and my jaw hit the floor. For all my work on transiting exoplanets, I had never seen that. It was the result of 500 hours of observation that revealed seven planets. I saw these syncopated dips and it was the most beautiful data I had ever seen. What an amazingly bizarre system it was.
