Webb Telescope spots “impossible” atmosphere on ancient super Earth
🤖AI Özeti
Astronomers have discovered a thick atmosphere around the rocky planet TOI-561 b, which was previously believed to be too extreme to retain gas. Observations from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope revealed that the planet is cooler than anticipated for a bare rock, suggesting the presence of a heat-distributing atmosphere above a molten surface. This unique planet, with a year lasting just over 10 hours and one side perpetually in daylight, may also contain volatile materials, resembling a 'wet lava ball.'
