Using the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have discovered evidence of a carbon-rich atmosphere around the hellish world 55 Cancri e. This marks the best evidence yet of an atmosphere around ...
Why is the warm gas-giant exoplanet WASP-107 b so puffy? Two independent teams of researchers have an answer. Data collected using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, combined with prior ...
A lot of people are focused on signs of alien life, but the space telescope will have a lot to say about exoplanet geology and formation.
Observations made in November 2023 with the coronagraph on the JWST MIRI instrument have not only detected and measured the mid-infrared intensity of the four young giant planets orbiting the star ...
This artist’s concept shows what the warm Neptune exoplanet WASP-107 b could look like based on recent data gathered by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope along with previous observations from ...
Can a "Hell Planet" have an atmosphere? In a new paper published May 8 in the journal Nature, researchers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) may have finally cracked this decades-old ...
"This is profoundly different from the composition we see in disks around solar-type stars." Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered the richest "menu" of hydrocarbons ...
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered the richest "menu" of hydrocarbons ever seen in a planet-forming disk. This observation, which involved the protoplanetary disk around ...
A surprisingly low reservoir of methane may explain how a planet around a nearby star grew weirdly puffy, according to new observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The finding ...
Data revealed that the interior of the exoplanet might be significantly hotter, and the core might be much more massive than what was estimated previously. Two independent teams of researchers ...
