Astronomers reveal 3D structure of an alien planet's atmosphere
Astronomers for the first time have deciphered the three-dimensional structure of the atmosphere of a planet beyond our solar system, revealing three layers like a wedding cake on a ferociously hot gas planet that orbits close to a star bigger and hotter than our sun.
Astronomers map the 3D atmosphere of exoplanet Tylos
Astronomers have discovered by looking through an exoplanet's atmosphere and mapping its 3D structure for the first time
First 3D view of an exoplanet's atmosphere reveals alien weather that's "Out of science fiction"
A recent study has unveiled how chemical elements and powerful winds shape the atmosphere of a planet far beyond our solar system.
Scientists Develop First-Ever 3D Map of an Exoplanet's Atmosphere
Kornmesser For the first time, scientists have developed a 3D map of an atmosphere belonging to a planet outside our solar system. Attached to a particularly mysterious alien world, the newly charted atmosphere challenges astronomers' understanding of how weather works on other planets.

Tylos (or WASP-121b) is a gaseous, giant exoplanet located some 900 light-years away in the constellation Puppis. Using the ESPRESSO instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), scientists have been able to prove into its atmosphere,
A Real-Life Sci-Fi World? This Exoplanet’s Atmosphere Behaves Like Nothing Seen Before
Around 900 light-years away, a gas giant exoplanet unlike anything in our solar system is rewriting the rules of extreme weather. Known as WASP-121b, this planet is already infamous for its blistering temperatures,
