Came across very unfriendly registration webpage that asks to enter same info twice and there are so many useless entries to be made.

We looked for an atmosphere on TRAPPIST-1d using JWST, but we didn't see any atmospheric absorption.

So TRAPPIST-1d is quite different from Earth, despite lying just inside the habitable zone. The planet is either:

➡️ A bare rock.
➡️ Very cloudy.
➡️ Has a thin, Mars-like atmosphere.

The TRAPPIST-1 d exoplanet may be Earth-sized 🌍 but it has no Earth-like atmosphere.

Webb’s #NIRSpec has found no traces of molecules that are common in Earth’s atmosphere.

Going through the arXiv feed is my driving force for the weekdays.
