Scientists discover thick atmosphere enveloping rocky so-called 'super Earth' planet
Researchers have discovered a thick atmosphere enveloping a planet called 55 Cancri e, which is twice the size of Earth and located in a nearby solar system.
Super-Earth Surprise: Webb Finds Atmosphere on Rocky Exoplanet For the First Time
Gas bubbling up from a lava-covered surface on 55 Cancri e may feed an atmosphere rich in carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide. These days, detecting a planetary atmosphere tens or even hundreds of light-years from Earth might not sound like such a big deal.
Rocky Planet Twice Earth’s Size Has a Thick Atmosphere, Scientists Say
The so-called super Earth — known as 55 Cancri e — is among the few rocky planets outside our solar system with a significant atmosphere, wrapped a blanket of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. The exact amounts are unclear. Earth’s atmosphere is a blend of nitrogen, oxygen, argon and other gases.
A Planet Just 41 Light-Years From Earth Has an Atmosphere and Is Covered in a Magma Ocean
Scientists have spotted a rocky exoplanet with a possible atmosphere, which they believe may be burbling out from a magma ocean on the distant world.
Scientists discover why Earth's 'sister planet' lost all of its water
We’re closer than ever to understanding one of the mysteries of our solar system, after scientists looked far back into the history of Venus. It’s believed that the planet – often dubbed Earth’s sister planet given their similar size – once had water on its surface.
Scientists announce discovery of a planet twice as big as Earth with a thick atmosphere
DALLAS (AP) — A thick atmosphere has been detected around a planet that’s twice as big as Earth in a nearby solar system, researchers reported Wednesday.

Astronomers Discover an Atmosphere on a Hot, Rocky Exoplanet With an Ocean of Magma
Astronomers have spotted signs of an atmosphere on an exoplanet 41 light-years away from Earth—the best evidence to date for a rocky planet with an atmosphere outside our solar system, according to a statement from NASA.
Webb found its strongest case yet of a rocky exoplanet with an atmosphere
A new finding using the James Webb Space Telescope bolsters experts' confidence that they'll eventually discover rocky worlds with hospitable atmospheres. Credit: NASA / JPL-Caltech The search for a rocky world swaddled in a protective atmosphere somewhere else in space has eluded scientists,
