Webb Telescope spots “impossible” atmosphere on ancient super Earth
Astronomers have uncovered surprising evidence of a thick atmosphere surrounding TOI-561 b, a scorching, fast-orbiting rocky planet once thought too extreme to hold onto any gas. Using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, researchers found the planet is far cooler than expected for a bare rock, hinting at a heat-distributing atmosphere above a churning magma ocean. This strange world—where a year lasts just over 10 hours and one side is locked in …
Using NASA's Space Telescope James Web (JWST), researchers have identified gas signals around an unusual object: a super-high and extremely hot earth whose surface is probably covered by deep rock, according to ScienceDaily. The planet, known as TOI-561 b, has a table of about two times larger than the Earth, but it is radically different in almost all other aspects. It orbits close to its star, at a distance only one quarter of the Milky Way ma…
