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.

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. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/technology/science/nasa-james-webb-discovers-beta-pictoris-d-hidden-giant-exoplanet-looxlpl8?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #NASA #JamesWebb #WebbTelescope #Exoplanet #BetaPictoris
