Webb’s latest data gives us the first molecular and chemical profile of a distant world, gas giant WASP-39 b. This bodes well for its ability to probe the atmospheres of small, rocky planets like in the TRAPPIST-1 system: https://go.nasa.gov/3i3Tlql

lovely data! JWST is an impressive feat. I hope it can get something remotely close to this for earth-like planets!
