New Webb Telescope Observations Suggest Not\u2026 A team of astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to study the exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 c, which is one of seven rocky planets orbiting an ultracool red dwarf star 40 light-years from Earth. The team found that the planet's atmosphere, if it exists at all, is extremely thin.   TRAPPIST-1 c is about the same size as Venus and receives a similar amount of radiation from its host star as Venus gets from the Sun. This led scientists to believe that the planet might have a thick carbon dioxide atmosphere like Venus. However, the Webb observations suggest that this is not the case.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
