Astronomers used the James Webb telescope to draw the first 3D map of the atmosphere of an exoplanet, WASP-18b. Using a technique of "spectroscopic eclipse mapping", they revealed its thermal structure, a "hot spot" where the temperature is so extreme that it breaks down the water vapour. This advance opens the way to the analysis of potentially habitable worlds.
Astronomers Create The First 3D Temperature Map Of Distant Exoplanet
Eddie Gonzales Jr. – MessageToEagle.com – Astronomers have generated the first three-dimensional map of a planet orbiting another star, revealing an atmosphere with distinct temperature zones—one so scorching that it breaks down water vapor. An artist’s concept of the exoplanet WASP-18b. Image credit: NASA/GSFC Co-led by the University of Maryland and Cornell University, the research details […]
