NASA's Webb Telescope May Have Found Atmosphere on Exoplanet 55 Cancri e
May 8, 2024, 03:41 PM
NASA's Webb Telescope has potentially discovered atmospheric gases around 55 Cancri e, a rocky exoplanet located 41 light-years away from Earth. This marks the first evidence of an atmosphere on a rocky planet outside our solar system. The planet, also known as Janssen, is nearly nine times the size of Earth. This discovery is crucial as it could provide insights into the composition and climate of planets beyond our solar system.
