WASP-96b's spectrum was one of the images featured in the initial science release from the James Webb Space Telescope in July 2022. [4] The spectrum confirmed the presence of water, as well as providing evidence for "clouds and hazes" within the planet's atmosphere. [3] Prior to this discovery, WASP-96b was thought to be free of clouds. [5] [6]
These findings call existing models of exoplanet formation and atmosphere composition into question, which also mark a significant milestone in exploration of exoplanet. In September 2024, again with JWST, it was revealed that there is an east-west asymmetry in the atmospheric properties (e.g, climate, cloud structure) of WASP-107b, which ...
The Webb telescope is the only operating telescope that is capable of characterizing the atmosphere of Earth-sized exoplanets. Attempts to assess LHS 475 b's atmosphere have been made by analyzing ...
LHS 475 b is a terrestrial planet orbiting the star LHS 475 which is about 40.7 light years away, in the constellation of Octans. [2] [3] It was the first extrasolar planet to be confirmed by the James Webb Space Telescope. [4]
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope was used for the first time to confirm the existence of a small and rocky exoplanet around a red dwarf star.
Scientists expected the James Webb Space Telescope to reveal unknowns in the deepest realms of space.But they certainly didn't anticipate this. While scanning a region of the cosmos near the Big ...
HIP 65426 b, formally named Najsakopajk, [3] is a super-Jupiter exoplanet orbiting the star HIP 65426. It was discovered on 6 July 2017 by the SPHERE consortium using the Spectro-Polarimetric High-Contrast Exoplanet Research (SPHERE) instrument belonging to the European Southern Observatory (ESO), [5] [6] being the first planet discovered by the SPHERE instrument. [7]
It is known to host at least one exoplanet, WASP-96b. It was discovered in 2013 by the Wide Angle Search for Planets (WASP), utilising the transit method. [2] In July 2022, NASA announced that a spectrum of the planet would be featured in the initial science release from the James Webb Space Telescope. [5] [6]
