Complete analysis of the atmosphere of an Exo Planet.

One of the latest discoveries of the James Webb Space Telescope is that it has succeeded in revealing the complete composition of an exoplanet's atmosphere.

Previously, other space telescopes including NASA's Hubble have revealed isolated components of this world's atmosphere, but James Webb has given us the full menu of atoms, molecules, active chemistry, and clouds.

On earth the protective layer of ozone, at the top of our planet, is created in a similar way, sodium potassium and water vapor have also been found, confirming that the James Webb instruments have the capacity to perform the wide range of investigations in the atmosphere of exoplanets.

To view the light from WASP-39 b, Webb tracked the planet's path in front of its star, allowing some of the star's light to filter through the planet's atmosphere, the different types of chemicals in the atmosphere absorb different colors of the starlight spectrum, so the missing colors tell astronomers which molecules are present.

By observing the universe in infrared light, the web can detect chemical fingerprints that cannot be detected in visible light, now it has done so with a gas giant, but the James web is expected to sharpen its aim to probe the atmospheres of planets more small, rocky planets similar to Earth, such as those that exist in the TRAPPIST-1 system.
