Webb Rules Out Thick Carbon Dioxide Atmosphere for Rocky Exoplanet
An international team of researchers has used NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to calculate the amount of heat energy coming from the rocky exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 c. The result suggests that the planet's atmosphere - if it exists at all - is extremely thin. With a dayside temperature of roughly 380 kelvins (about 225 degrees Fahrenheit), TRAPPIST-1 c is now
