NASA's Webb Reveals an Exoplanet Atmosphere as Never Seen Before
Webb's firsts keep coming: Observations of the exoplanet WASP-39 b show fingerprints of atoms and molecules, as well as signs of active chemistry and clouds.Exoplanet Exploration: Planets Beyond our Solar System
Shining bright to see. What you could truly be.🎶
Once again, @NASAWebb unveils our universe. Here you can see *some* of the stars of a globular cluster. Even very dim, low mass stars can be seen. (A feat!) https://go.nasa.gov/3ILMCMB

Observing Exoplanets: What Can We Really See?
Exoplanets are far away, and they are often obscured by the bright light of the stars they orbit. So, taking pictures of them the same way you'd take pictures of, say, Jupiter or Venus, isn't easy.Exoplanet Exploration: Planets Beyond our Solar System
