  Washington DC (SPX) May 06, 2025 Though they don't orbit around our Sun, sub-Neptunes are the most common type of exoplanet, or planet outside our solar system, that have been observed in our galaxy. These small, gassy planets are shrouded in mystery...and often, a lot of haze. Now, by observing exoplanet TOI-421 b, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is helping scientists understand sub-Neptunes in a way that was not possible prior to the telescope's launch. "I had been waiting my entire career for Webb so that we could meaningful ... read more |
