Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have captured the clearest images yet of the surface of an exoplanet outside our solar system, LHS 3844 b (Kua'kua). The data on the body, which is 30 percent larger than Earth, suggests it is a desert with a surface similar to Mercury. The lack of an atmosphere and extreme temperatures - on the one hand, unbearable heat, on the other - probably make it uninhabitable.
The James Webb space telescope identified a rocky and dark exoplanet that could resemble an expanded version of the Moon or Mercury, according to a study published in Nature Astronomy magazine. The planet, called LHS 3844 b, orbits its star in just 11 hours and would lack significant atmosphere and water.
Scientists using the James Webb Telescope have for the first time directly studied the surface of an exoplanet, reports Space.com. We are talking about the planet LHS 3844 b. This is a so-called “super-Earth”, which is about 30% larger than our planet and is located almost 50 light years away from us. During the study, astronomers studied the thermal radiation emitted by the surface of this exoplanet. YOU WILL BE INTERESTED The birth of “hidde…
