3D map of exoplanet atmosphere shows wacky climate
Last year, astronomers discovered an unusual Earth-size exoplanet they believe has a hemisphere of molten lava, with its other hemisphere tidally locked in perpetual darkness. And at about the same time, a different group discovered of a rare small, cold exoplanet with a massive outer companion 100 times the mass of Jupiter.
The gas giant WASP 121b, also known as Tylos, has an atmospheric structure unlike any we have ever seen, and the fastest ...
Astronomers have discovered a powerful jet stream raging through the atmosphere of an ultra-hot Jupiter exoplanet ravaged by ...
Jupiter’s famous clouds aren’t ammonia ice but a murky mix of chemicals, sitting lower in the atmosphere than expected. For years, astronomers believed that Jupiter’s upper clouds — responsible for it ...
Of the nearly 6,000 confirmed exoplanets in the Milky Way, Tylos has one of the most-studied atmospheres out there. It's what we call a hot Jupiter – a world comparable in size to our own gas giants, ...
NASA's Juno Probe captured a cloud formation on Jupiter resembling a dolphin, seen by Brian Swift and Sean Doran. This ...
More pocked with craters than any other object in our solar system, Jupiter's outermost and second-biggest Galilean moon, Callisto, appears geologically unremarkable. In the 1990s, however, NASA's ...
