So far it was thought that exoplanets were spherical, but an international team of astronomers has managed to observe for the first time the irregular contours of the gas giant WASP-17b and has discovered that outside the solar system planets could have much more complex forms than we thought. The finding has been made possible thanks to ... Continue reading "We thought the exoplanets were perfectly round: a finding reveals something unexpected"
Science Writing, 14 Oct (EFE).- Until now it was thought that the exoplanets were spherical, but an international team of astronomers has managed to observe for the first time the irregular contours of the gas giant WASP-17b and has discovered that outside the Solar System the planets could have much more complex forms than we thought.

Inequal gas shell: The exoplanet WASP-17b, which is about 1,300 light-years away, has a more extensive atmosphere at the edge of the evening than at the edge of the morning. This shows a new analysis of observations of the James Webb space telescope. From the measurement data, the researchers derive a temperature difference of about 650 degrees and can also map changes between equator and poles for the first time. Bristol (England). When an exop…
A cartography research for the first time the irregular outline of WASP-17b, deformed by extreme winds and thermal differences.
Scientists have developed advanced mathematical methods that allow them to trace different distances from the center of the planet to the edge with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) which allowed them to analyze with high precision the composition and asymmetry of distant worlds.
