1st 3D Observations Of An Exoplanet Atmosphere

First 3D observations of an exoplanet's atmosphere reveal a unique climate
Astronomers have peered through the atmosphere of a planet beyond the solar system, mapping its 3D structure for the first time. By combining all four telescope units of the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (ESO's VLT),
'Out of science fiction': First 3D observations of an exoplanet's atmosphere reveal a unique climate

3D map of exoplanet atmosphere shows wacky climate
According to a new paper published in the journal Nature, astronomers have mapped the 3D structure of the layered atmosphere of one such ultra-hot Jupiter-size exoplanet, revealing powerful winds that create intricate weather patterns across that atmosphere.
Astronomers capture first 3D view of an exoplanet’s atmosphere and climate
Astronomers have achieved a breakthrough in planetary science, revealing the complex weather of a distant gas giant with unprecedented detail. By mapping the three-dimensional structure of the planet’s atmosphere,
First 3D Observations Of An Exoplanet Atmosphere
Tylos (or WASP-121b) is a gaseous, giant exoplanet located some 900 light-years away. Astronomers were able to differentiate three different layers in its atmosphere, where winds carry elements like hydrogen,
