Olmsted For the first time, astronomers have mapped the 3D structure of an alien planet’s atmosphere, revealing a complex system of layered gases and extreme winds. The exoplanet, known as WASP-121b, orbits dangerously close to its host star, making it one of the hottest and most extreme world…

Mapping the Unruly Atmosphere of a Distant Planet: Astronomers Create a 3D Model

Astronomers have just achieved a scientific feat: for the first time, they have drawn up a three-dimensional map of the atmosphere of an exoplanet, a planet located beyond our solar system. Thanks to an advanced technique using the four telescopes of the very large telescope (VLT) in Chile, they were able to take an interest in the weather on the planet and observed strong winds carrying chemical elements such as iron and titanium, drawing a Fas…

Unprecedented 3D Map Unveils Astonishing Weather Patterns on a Distant Exoplanet

Astronomers have achieved a groundbreaking feat by mapping the atmosphere of an exoplanet in three dimensions for the first time, revealing a bizarre and extreme climate unlike anything seen before. The planet, known as WASP-121b or Tylos, is a gas giant so close to its star that its entire orbit lasts just 30 hours. This proximity […] The post Unprecedented 3D Map Unveils Astonishing Weather Patterns on a Distant Exoplanet appeared first on Cur…
