Exoplanet scientists are eagerly awaiting the discovery of an atmosphere around a terrestrial exoplanet. Not a thin, tenuous, ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have made the first 3D map of an alien planet's atmosphere, revealing ...

Scientists use James Webb Space Telescope to make 1st 3D map of exoplanet — and it's so hot, it rips apart water ...

What if humanity could no longer live on Earth? Perhaps a catastrophic event forced us to find a new home among the stars.

What can a 3D map of an exoplanet’s atmosphere teach astronomers about the planet’s formation, evolution, and composition?

The exoplanet LHS 3844b (left) is 1.3 times the mass of Earth and orbits the star LHS 3844 (right). Discovered in 2018 by NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Satellite Survey, LHS 3844b is located 48.6 ...

The gas giant WASP-18b belongs to a class known as ultra-hot Jupiters — giant, searing, gaseous planets that orbit perilously close to their stars. Researchers used a new technique called ...

Could scientists find life in the clouds of exoplanet atmospheres? This is what a manuscripton the arXiv preprint server ...

“If you build a map at a wavelength that water absorbs, you’ll see the water deck in the atmosphere, whereas a wavelength ...

"If you put those together, you can get a 3D map of the temperatures in this atmosphere." The new view confirmed spectroscopically distinct regions—differing in temperature and possibly in chemical ...

A team of astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to create the first 3D atmospheric map of an exoplanet. The fiery WASP-18b, a massive “ultra-hot Jupiter,” revealed striking temperature ...
