✍️ A team of international researchers from the universities of Geneva and Bern have successfully mapped the climate of two rocky exoplanets with temperatures varying by almost 500 degrees Celsius between day and night.
👉 The study mapped the climate of two rocky exoplanets with temperatures varying by almost 500 degrees Celsius between day and night. 👉 The planets, Trappist-1b and Trappist-1c, are similar in size to Earth and orbit a small and cool red dwarf star. 👉 The researchers used the James Webb Space Telescope to measure the temperatures of the planets' day sides. 👉 The large temperature contrast suggests that the planets do not have an atmosphere. 👉 The study aims to understand the potential for life on these planets.
