Located 900 light-years away in the constellation Puppis, WASP-121b is an ultra-hot Jupiter, a gas giant orbiting its star so closely that a year lasts just 30 Earth hours. One side of the planet is ...
A recent study has unveiled how chemical elements and powerful winds shape the atmosphere of a planet far beyond our solar system.
Located around 900 light-years away in the Puppis constellation, Tylos orbits its parent star at an absurdly close distance, ...
For the first time, scientists have developed a 3D map of an atmosphere belonging to a planet outside our solar system.
