Tiny bits of Earth’s atmosphere have been drifting to the moon for billions of years, guided by Earth’s magnetic field.

Earth TOI-561 b must have a thick atmosphere, data from the JWST indicates, or its day side would be even hotter than it is.

The new data confirm that TOI-561 b maintains a substantial atmosphere despite its extreme heat. Astronomers from the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, D.C., reported that TOI-561 b has ...

New research suggests a comet explosion helped cause ice age extinctions, sudden cooling, and the loss of early human cultures.

The outermost part of our planet’s atmosphere extends well beyond the lunar orbit – almost twice the distance to the Moon. A recent discovery based on observations by the ESA/NASA Solar and ...

JWST observations of the ultra-hot super-Earth exoplanet TOI-561 b provide the strongest evidence to date for an atmosphere surrounding a rocky planet beyond our Solar System.

The James Webb Space Telescope detected an atmosphere rich with carbon and helium, which is unexpected on this hot planet ...

Radio astronomy opens a window onto the invisible universe. While our eyes can detect visible light, countless objects in space emit radiation at much longer wavelengths, in the radio portion of the ...

The James Webb Space Telescope detected an atmosphere on a lava-covered exoplanet, evidence that small planets close to stars ...

James Webb observations show TOI-561b, an ultra-hot rocky exoplanet, has a thick atmosphere that redistributes heat.
