For the first time, scientists have traced the winds in separate layers of an exoplanet’s atmosphere, uncovering a vertical circulation pattern that defies conventional models.

The team has now probed deep inside Tylos's atmosphere and revealed distinct winds in separate layers, forming a map of the atmosphere's 3D structure.

Unraveling An Alien Atmosphere Using high-resolution spectroscopy, astronomers analyzed how starlight filters through different layers of the exoplanet’s atmosphere.

The search for habitable exoplanets is a key priority and sits at the pinnacle of exoplanet science. The science community ...

Astronomers have peered through the atmosphere of a planet beyond the Solar System, mapping its 3D structure for the first time.

On Earth, neither iron nor titanium exist in the atmosphere because they are solid metal owing to our planet's lower temperatures, relative to WASP-121b. Earth does have a sodium layer in the ...

Scientists studying the zone between Earth’s atmosphere and space spotted unusual X- and C-shaped features that could thwart signals that keep our planet running smoothly.

When talking about the atmosphere, all weather occurs in the troposphere, the layer closest to the Earth.

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 ...
