“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 ...

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

A distant gas giant the size of 10 Jupiter planets is now the first planet outside Earth's solar system to be mapped in three dimension, a team of astronomers says. What's more, the researchers are ...

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

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 ...
