@exobeatriz Congratulations @exobeatriz, PhD!!!! 🥳🥳

[Nature Astronomy @NatureAstronomy]

WASP-107 b is a cool low-density exoplanet that experiences ~100 K of morning-evening temperature difference usually found in much hotter planets. Complex atmospheric models are needed to explain this behaviour. Murphy et al.: https://t.co/h71frb5UIk / https://t.co/P4MZqZPFHi

[Dr. Joanna Drążkowska @AstroJoanna]

Do you want to do PhD in planet formation theory? 🪐 If yes, you should apply to join my group at @MPSGoettingen! The deadline is on October 1st, 2024. Details here: https://t.co/VLCOjk7dXT

@exobeatriz Congratulations🎉🎉

[NASA Webb Telescope @NASAWebb]

Webb's stability and precision allowed scientists to separately observe both sides of WASP-39 b's day/night boundary. Unlike what we may expect on Earth, the evening side of WASP-39 b appears hundreds of degrees hotter than the morning side, with morning likely to be cloudier.

WASP-39 b is a tidally locked planet: One side is in eternal day, the other in eternal night.

By observing the day/night boundary, Webb has confirmed — with extraordinary precision — the differences in temperature and cloud cover between the two sides. https://t.co/HDQCBRLLPh

[ESA Science @esascience]

In visible wavelengths, #Uranus may appear a frigid blue ball, but looking at it in infrared with @ESA_Webb has revealed a dynamic world with rings, moons, storms, and other exciting atmospheric features!

[NASA Webb Telescope @NASAWebb]

Seen here by Webb, ice giant Uranus is a dynamic world with rings, moons, storms, extreme seasons, and more. Webb’s sensitivity has even captured the close-in Zeta ring, faint, diffuse, and elusive. https://t.co/T85e7JHwrm

[Dr. Patrick Barth 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦 @ExoplanetMaster]

Earlier this year, my colleagues at the @IWF_oeaw and I collaborated with artists for an exhibition on exoplanet atmospheres as part of the #Steiermarkschau - this week, that exhibition opened its doors at the @ACFNY in New York City 😀
Go and check it out if you're in the area!

[Jasmine ���🔭 @astro_jaz]

we finally have JWST images of all of the gas giants!!!

[NASA Webb Telescope @NASAWebb]

Of course Saturn brought its ring light 🪐

Webb took its first near-infrared look at Saturn on June 25. The planet appears dark at this wavelength, as methane gas in its atmosphere absorbs sunlight — but its icy rings stay bright! Learn more: https://t.co/M27lrHPaTM
