    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.

  6. 💁🏻‍♀️ 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.

  19. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has discovered a hidden giant exoplanet in the Beta Pictoris system using its atmospheric fingerprint instead of traditional imaging. The breakthrough could revolutionize the search for planets beyond our solar system. english.mathrubhumi.com/techno #NASA #JamesWebb #WebbTelescope #Exoplanet #BetaPictoris
