"We have barely begun scratching the surface of what their atmospheres might be like." The public release of Webb’s first images and spectra is July 12 now less than two weeks away The Webb team has confirmed that that 15 out of 17 instrument modes are ready for science, with just two more still to go.
Below is a curated sample of some key albums and collections. "We're at the forefront of studying small, rocky exoplanets," Dr Lustig-Yaeger said.

However, the exoplanet might resemble other planets in our solar system.įor example, if further analysis reveals clouds in its atmosphere, it will confirm that LHS 475 b could resemble Venus, which has a carbon dioxide atmosphere and is perpetually shrouded in thick clouds. Webb findings of the exoplanet show it is a few hundred degrees warmer than Earth. Unfortunately, even if humans were able to make the massive journey to LHS 475 b, they would find the exoplanet uninhabitable. The James Webb Space Telescope sees its first light of HD84406 in each of its 18 mirrors. "It can't have a thick, methane-dominated atmosphere, similar to that of Saturn's moon, Titan." "There are some terrestrial-type atmospheres that we can rule out," explained research team lead Jacob Lustig-Yaeger. The James Webb Telescope analyses light to determine what atmosphere could exist on exoplanets.
