The James Webb telescope shows how starlight transforms a distant, Jupiter-like planet
Scientists studying a gas giant planet have found that it's partly cloudy and that its atmosphere gets altered by starlight from its host star.
The James Webb Space Telescope has identified a rich mix of gases swirling in the skies of a hot, Jupiter-like world orbiting a star that's around 700-light years from Earth.
In addition to carbon dioxide, water, and other molecules, described in a series of new scientific papers online, researchers say the telescope has spotted signs of sulfur dioxide.
