Fun fact, TRAPPIST-1 is named like that because it is discovered by a pair of telescopes named TRAPPIST, which the University of Liège is a co-founder of. They actually named the system referring to the beers. Likewise there is another project of telescopes named SPECULOOS also from University of Liège.
