The simulation aims to highlight the temperature differences that researchers hypothesize exist between the discovered planets. The inner two are too close and therefore would be too hot for liquid water, the middle three are in the sitting area where liquid water might be possible, while the outer two are too far away, and apparently, if there is water in them, they are frozen.

NASA's discovery of seven terrestrial planets in one system will spur a widespread hunt for similar systems

Simulation of the surface of the sky as it might be seen from the surface of the planet TRAPPIST-1f, one of the three new planets found in the host region of the dwarf star TRAPPIST-1. The seven planets in his planetary system are so close together that they can be clearly seen from the surface of one of them. Imaging: NASA/JPL-Caltech.

A system of seven Earth-like planets was discovered, three of them in the zone suitable for the existence of liquid water
