First-Ever 3D Map Of Exoplanet’s Atmosphere Reveals Never-Before-Seen Climate
An international team of astronomers have been able to probe the atmosphere of an exoplanet like never before. Exoplanet Tylos, also known as WASP 121-b, is an ultra-hot Jupiter – a gas giant so close to its stars that one year lasts only 30 hours.
