The rare metal terbium has been found in an exoplanet’s atmosphere for the first time. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have also developed a new method for analyzing exoplanets, making it possible to study them in more detail. KELT-9 b is the galaxy’s hottest exoplanet, orbiting its dist
Scientists have identified an interesting similarity between the Earth and an exoplanet WASP-189b.
Astronomers have discovered more than 4,400 exoplanets. Some have been large gas planets akin to Jupiter.
Others have been smaller, rocky Earth-like worlds, the kind considered candidates for harboring life, but currently available scientific instruments tell us little about their atmospheres.
Scientists have studied the atmosphere on an extremely hot exoplanet and found layers of iron, chromium, and titanium oxide gases, among other vaporized metals.
