Particles from Earth’s atmosphere may be preserved in the Moon's soil, offering a long-term record of Earth’s atmospheric history.

James Webb observations show TOI-561b, an ultra-hot rocky exoplanet, has a thick atmosphere that redistributes heat.

Webb’s latest observations reveal a hellish world cloaked in an unexpected atmosphere: TOI-561 b, an ultra-hot rocky planet racing around its star in under 11 hours. Despite being blasted by intense ...
