"What The Heck Is This?": JWST Reveals Bizarre Exoplanet With Inexplicable Composition
PSR J2322-2650b's helium and molecular carbon atmosphere is unique among 150 studied exoplanets and may contain soot clouds and diamond rain, researchers said.

There are more than 6,000 exoplanets (worlds beyond the solar system) detected from which the atmosphere of about 150 has been studied, but none has been as rare as the one just discovered by the James Webb space telescope. Its shape is like that of a lemon and its atmosphere is different from that of any other, so much so that NASA cannot explain how such a planet has come to exist. The study has been published this Tuesday in The Astrophysical…
James Webb telescope discovers a cosmic oddity: A lemon-shaped exoplanet that has scientists stunned
The James Webb Space Telescope has found a strange exoplanet with a lemon-like shape. The planet orbits a dead star and has a rare carbon-filled atmosphere. Scientists say this discovery is very unusual and hard to explain. The planets shape and air make it one of the strangest worlds ever seen in space.
JWST Sees Mysterious Exoplanet With Atmosphere That Breaks All Predictions
Scientists are scratching their heads over a recent James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) discovery that looks more like a piece of fruit than your typical celestial sphere. The planet, designated PSR J2322-2650b, has simply been described by astronomers to look like a lemon. This bizarre world, located 750 light years from us, is not only
Lemon-Shaped Exoplanet Spotted by James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)
Researchers have recently spotted a lemon-shaped exoplanet with NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST.) The bizarre discovery reported the object as having 'the mass of the sun, but the size of a city', according to Michael Zhang of The University of Chicago. The report further states that PSR J2322-2650b atmospheric spectrum consists mainly of carbon compounds C2 and C3. Scientists are using Webb to investigate an oddball exoplanet: Jupiter-m…
