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]
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]
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 ...
WASP-39b is the first exoplanet in which carbon dioxide has been detected. [ 6 ] [ 10 ] [ 7 ] Planetary transmission spectra taken in 2022 has indicated the atmosphere of WASP-39b is partially cloudy, and planet C/O ratio appears to be subsolar. [ 11 ]
The James Webb Space Telescope investigated a giant planet, K2-18b, that could be an ocean world, according to NASA. The exoplanet lies 120 light-years away from Earth.
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. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope was used for ...
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a space telescope designed to conduct infrared astronomy. As the largest telescope in space, it is equipped with high-resolution and high-sensitivity instruments, allowing it to view objects too old, distant , or faint for the Hubble Space Telescope . [ 9 ]
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 ...
