The powerful space telescope forecasts extreme wind speeds, blisteringly hot temperatures and blankets of rock clouds for the world, named Wasp-43b. As such, the extrasolar planet, or"exoplanet," demonstrates just how strange alien planets outside the solar system can be.orbits a star located around 283 light-years from Earth; it sits so close to its star, in fact, that it completes an orbit in just around 19 Earth hours. This proximity, equal to around just 1.
WASP-43b was discovered in 2011 because of a dip in the light scientists saw exhibited by WASP-43. This dip occurred as the planet crossed between the face of its star and Earth, from our perspective. During the transit, scientists also saw that infrared light the planet emits in response to starlight varied.
"With Hubble, we could clearly see that there is water vapor on the dayside. Both Hubble and Spitzer suggested there might be clouds on the nightside," Taylor Bell, team leader and a scientist with NASA's Ames Research Center, said in the statement."But we needed more precise measurements from JWST to really begin mapping the temperature, cloud cover, winds and more detailed atmospheric composition all the way around the planet.
