Webb Telescope Discovers Hidden Atmosphere on Molten Super-Earth TOI-561 b Despite Extreme Heat
NASA’s Webb Telescope detects a hidden atmosphere on ultra-hot super-Earth TOI-561 b, revealing gases above its molten surface, challenging previous assumptions about small planets surviving intense stellar radiation.
Webb finds signs of a thick atmosphere on an ultra-hot super-Earth
Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have found the strongest evidence yet that a rocky planet outside our solar system can hold on to an atmosphere—even under some of the most extreme conditions known. The planet, called TOI-561 b, is an ultra-hot “super-Earth” so close to its star that its surface is likely covered […] The post Webb finds signs of a thick atmosphere on an ultra-hot super-Earth appeared first on Knowridge Science…
The exoplanet TOI-561 b has surprised the world of research. Although this super-earth has been orbiting its star for many billions of years at a very short distance, an atmosphere is said to have remained.
A new finding from NASA drew attention to the scientific community and the public by revealing undisputed evidence of a magma ocean on a planet outside the Solar System. Using the telescope James Webb, scientists identified a dense atmosphere around the rock exodus TOI-561 b, something that was considered...
