What can a 3D map of an exoplanet’s atmosphere teach astronomers about the planet’s formation, evolution, and composition? This is what a recent study published in Nature Astronomy hopes to address as ...

Exoplanets are planets outside Earth's solar system that most often orbit a star. Astronomers have managed to bring an exoplanet into unprecedented focus by using a technique the researchers call 3D ...

For the first time, scientists have developed a 3D map of an atmosphere belonging to a planet outside our solar system. Attached to a particularly mysterious alien world, the newly charted atmosphere ...
