We found the methane! (in transiting planet atmospheres!) In transmission and emission! #JWST arxiv.org/abs/2309.04042 A great paper from the MANATEE collaboration, led by @taylorbell275!

A team of European astronomers have used Webb to study the atmosphere of the nearby exoplanet WASP-107b. The team discovered water vapour, sulfur dioxide, and silicate sand clouds. Learn more here: fys.kuleuven.be/ster/news/2023…

🔭🪐🌌 New research using observations made with ESA Webb Telescope analysed the atmosphere of the nearby exoplanet WASP-107b. Not only did researchers IvS - KU Leuven CEA SRON Space Research discover water vapour and sulfur dioxide, but also silicate sand clouds👇 bit.ly/3MIKOWe

Just published in @nature: "SO2, silicate clouds, but no CH4 detected in a warm Neptune" by Achrène Dyrek et al.: nature.com/articles/s4158…

🥇[NEWS] I am thrilled to announce that we have discovered sand clouds, sulphur dioxide and gas water in the atmosphere of an exoplanet 🌪️ 👏This work has been published in nature and unravels the mysteries of the fluffy exoplanet WASP-107b 🪐 🔗 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Your periodic reminder that less ice at the Arctic is consistent with a weaker jet stream that allows cold air to drift down into the Great Plains. The frigid temps you're experiencing happen BECAUSE of a warming planet, not in spite of it.
