The James-Webb Telescope reveals extreme weather on the planet driven by hypersonic winds!

Onequatorequatorbelonging windswinds over 8000 km/h! On the daytime side the weather is clear. CloudsClouds tall and fat on the night side. This is a newsletter weather forecastweather forecast that the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has just delivered to an exoplanet known astronomersastronomers called Osa-43b.

On Osa-43b the mercury rises very high

Type of gas planet “Hot Jupiter” was opened in 2011. It is located approximately 280 light years from Earth. And it orbits very close to its star. Just 2 million kilometers away. This is 25 times closer than Mercury to ours. SunSun. Hubble has already shown water vapor on the dayside of Wasp-43b. THAT Spitzer Space TelescopeSpitzer Space Telescope suggested the existence of clouds on the night side. “But we needed more precise measurements from JWST to really start mapping temperatures, cloud cover, winds and more detailed atmospheric composition across the planet.”– Taylor Bell, a researcher from Bay Area Institute for Environmental Studies (USA) and lead author of a study published in the journal Nature Astronomy.

Astronomers have studied changes in brightnessbrightness infraredinfrared planet/star system during Wasp-43b’s less than 20-hour orbit. This means that on the day side the average temperature is around 1250°C. The nights are cooler. They would be even more visible without the clouds. But the thick shell ultimately prevents them from falling below 600°C.

Strong winds are shaking the planet’s atmosphere

THAT James Webb Space TelescopeJames Webb Space Telescope also reveals methane shortages across the planet. Although it should be present on the night side. Astronomers have concluded that powerful winds blow on Wasp-43b. They would move gasgas from day to night and vice versa so quickly that there would not be enough time to chemical reactionschemical reactions produce detectable quantities.
