A distant gas giant the size of 10 Jupiters is now the first planet outside Earth's solar system to be mapped in three ...

“If you build a map at a wavelength that water absorbs, you’ll see the water deck in the atmosphere, whereas a wavelength that water does not absorb will probe deeper. If you put those together, you ...

The first world beyond our Solar System to be mapped in three dimensions a gas giant almost ten times more massive than ...

Many solar eclipse maps use clean lines to represent the path of totality, but the reality isn't so clear cut, and those maps ...

Scientists use James Webb Space Telescope to make 1st 3D map of exoplanet — and it's so hot, it rips apart water ...

A 3D map of planet WASP-18b reveals extreme heat zones and broken water vapor in its atmosphere for the first time.

Using JWST, scientists mapped WASP-18b’s atmosphere in 3D, revealing blazing regions where water molecules split apart.

A team from the University of Maryland and Cornell University developed the first three-dimensional temperature map of WASP-18b, a gas giant orbiting a star about 400 light years away.

The gas giant WASP-18b belongs to a class known as ultra-hot Jupiters — giant, searing, gaseous planets that orbit perilously close to their stars. Researchers used a new technique called ...

A team of astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to create the first 3D atmospheric map of an exoplanet. The fiery WASP-18b, a massive “ultra-hot Jupiter,” revealed striking temperature ...
