The JamesWebb Space Telescope team has identified a couple of exoplanets it wants to explore, including one featuring oceans of lava.
The James Webb Space Telescope is about to start peering into deep space in one of the most highly anticipated missions of recent years.
Both of these exoplanets are classified as “super-Earths” for their size and rocky composition. The Webb team will train the telescope’s high-precision spectrographs on both in the hope of finding out more about the “geologic diversity of planets across the galaxy, and the evolution of rocky planets like Earth,” NASA said.
This has left scientists wondering if 55 Cancri e has a dynamic atmosphere that shifts heat around. It’s a question that Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera and Mid-Infrared Instrument should be able to answer by capturing the thermal emission spectrum of the day side of the planet.
