#NASAWebb has detected a thick blanket of gas surrounding the distant lava world TOI-561 b, challenging the idea that small planets so close to their stars are not able to sustain atmospheres: https://bit.ly/3MvZQRQ 🔭 🧪
Illustration of a planet orbiting a star, with the words “Artist’s Concept” in the lower left corner. About one-quarter of the star is visible in the upper left corner; most of the star is out of the frame. The star has a Sun-like appearance: yellowy orange with darker orange mottling and an orange glow. The planet is toward the lower right. The left half of the visible hemisphere is lit by the star; the right half is in darkness. The lit side of the planet has the bright whitish fuzzy glow of an atmosphere. The surface of the planet seems to glow with swaths and patches of bright orange as though part of the planet is molten. The boundary between the lit and dark side of the planet is fuzzy. The background is black with some faint background stars and hints of other planets.
