#exoplanet — Public Fediverse posts

It’s amazing what people will do. Here’s a photo of Exoplanet 13562. It looks like an edible Earth fruit. But really, it’s an exoplanet missing its atmosphere. No one knows why the air disappeared, but billions of litres of water is frozen under the blue crust. The planet is bizarrely covered with Lazurite and ancient canals are visible to the naked eye. Someone with a sense of humor, photoshopped this planet to look like a plum. Adding stem and leaves and a little nub in the end. I’m all for a joke, but it’s wrong to say a photograph is something it’s not. People who post a photo and then make up some some crazy Sci-Fi story to go along with it, should be thrown in the stocks and have rotten tomatoes tossed at them. Actually bananas, have bananas tossed at them. I like bananas. Bananas are good.

Where in #space can #planets with #atmospheres be found? C. Cherubim et al. (2026) used #nearinfraredspectroscopy to characterize a #rocky #exoplanet orbiting its host star within the #habitablezone. Planet #LHS1140b exhibits #helium #absorption in its atmosphere, a feature the authors attribute to a helium-dominated #upperatmosphericlayer.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🪐🔭 For the first time, astronomers have detected an #atmosphere on a rocky #planet in the habitable zone of another #star.

The super-Earth LHS 1140 b, located 50 light years away, shows signs of a #helium dominated atmosphere escaping into #space. Researchers used the WINERED #spectrograph at Las Campanas Observatory to make the ground-based #discovery.

A planet in Pegasus?

The feature article reports the discovery of the 1st extrasolar planet orbiting a Sun-like star, 51 Pegasi, by Michel Mayor & Didier Queloz, a discovery that will earn them the Nobel Prize in 2019
