    This planet completes one year in just 23 hours. Webb telescope has now found water on it

    The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a remarkable sight, a distant planet outside our solar system that has captivated astronomers with the presence of water vapor in its atmosphere.
    It was first discovered in 2009 and is an ultra-hot gas giant, over 10 times more massive than Jupiter.
    This is the first time a planet has been mapped with JWST, and it’s really exciting to see that some of what our models predicted, such as a sharp drop in temperature away from the point on the planet directly facing the star, is actually seen in the data!"
    They observed temperature increases varying by hundreds of degrees with increasing elevation.
