Hustak (STScI) The big aim, though, is for Webb to detect exoplanet atmospheres. The researchers were able to gather some data on the newly detected planet’s atmosphere and to rule out some ...

When a planet gets that close to its host star, it can have its atmosphere stripped away by the star’s heat and radiation. In the case of the recently discovered exoplanet LHS 475 b, JWST observed two ...

Researchers confirmed an exoplanet, a planet that orbits another ... The team attempted to assess what is in the planet's atmosphere by analyzing its transmission spectrum. Although the data ...

The data shows that the exoplanet is an Earth-sized terrestrial (not water covered) world, but it is not known if it has an atmosphere. “The observatory’s data are beautiful,” noted Erin May ...

Exoplanet LH 475b has a radius about 99 percent the size of Earth’s, but that rocky radius is surrounded by either a choking atmosphere of carbon dioxide — or the vacuum of space, according to ...

In August astronomers revealed they had used JWST to detect carbon dioxide on an exoplanet for the first time by watching for signs of the gas in the light of a gas giant planet’s host star filtering ...

The James Webb Space Telescope discovered its first exoplanet: LHS 475 b ... don't know about the planet is whether it has an atmosphere. The James Webb Space Telescope has captured dazzling ...

The four dots are exoplanets, with the black disk obscuring their star, 133.3 light-years away from Earth. The partial circles are their orbital motions, a time-lapse compiled fro ...

The search for biosignatures on exoplanets got a boost of energy when the James Webb Space Telescope began observations. One of the telescope’s science objectives is to characterize exoplanet ...
