Astronomers reveal 3D structure of an alien planet's atmosphere
Astronomers for the first time have deciphered the three-dimensional structure of the atmosphere of a planet beyond our solar system, revealing three layers like a wedding cake on a ferociously hot gas planet that orbits close to a star bigger and hotter than our sun.
Astronomers uncover the topsy-turvy atmosphere of a distant planet
The gas giant WASP-121b, also known as Tylos, has an atmospheric structure unlike any we have ever seen, and the fastest winds on any planet
First 3D view of an exoplanet's atmosphere reveals alien weather that's "Out of science fiction"
A recent study has unveiled how chemical elements and powerful winds shape the atmosphere of a planet far beyond our solar system.
Scientists Develop First-Ever 3D Map of an Exoplanet's Atmosphere
Kornmesser For the first time, scientists have developed a 3D map of an atmosphere belonging to a planet outside our solar system. Attached to a particularly mysterious alien world, the newly charted atmosphere challenges astronomers' understanding of how weather works on other planets.
