James Webb Space Telescope finds 'puffball' exoplanet is uniquely lopsided
Using the James Webb Space Telescope astronomers have found that a strange inflated exoplanet is even weirder than they realized finding a strange asymmetry in its atmosphere.
Webb Space Telescope Reveals a Uniquely Inflated and Asymmetric Exoplanet
Astronomers used NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to detect atmospheric asymmetry in the exoplanet WASP-107b. This unprecedented observation reveals differences in temperature and cloud properties between the planet's east and west sides,
Webb telescope is about to home in on these 2 exoplanets. Here's why.
LTT 1445 Ac is roughly the size of Earth and about 22 light-years away in the constellation Eridanus. The planet orbits the star LTT 1445 A, part of a trio of red dwarf stars. GJ 3929 b is slightly larger and heavier than Earth, located about 52 light-years away in the constellation Corona Borealis .
A glimpse of a uniquely inflated and asymmetric exoplanet
Due to how their air moves, the atmospheric conditions of hot exoplanets are expected to change between morning and evening. Ground-based observations at high detail have found this difference in several ultra-hot exoplanets (over 2,000 K), but it’s unclear how common this is among all exoplanets.
James Webb Space Telescope Uncovers Mysterious Galaxy with Gas Outshining Its Stars
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has made a remarkable discovery of an unusual galaxy, GS-NDG-9422, found about one billion years after the Big Bang. This galaxy stands out for its unprecedented light signature—its gas is outshining its stars,
