Latest Photos Clearest View Dark Side Hot Jupiter Obtained For The First Time NASA, 'Exotic Rain' May Occur On The Exoplanet WASP-121b
ABP NewsNew Delhi: Astronomers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge have obtained the clearest view yet of the perpetual dark side of an exoplanet which is "tidally locked" to its star. The researchers' observations, combined with measurements of the planet's permanent day side, provide the first detailed view of an exoplanet's global atmosphere. Tansu Daulan, an MIT postdoc working on the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite mission, said that hot Jupiters are famous for having very bright day sides, but the night side is a different beast. The scientists also tracked the presence of water through the atmosphere to show, for the first time, how water circulates between a planet's day and night sides, the study said.
