Super-Earth’ atmosphere measured
The atmosphere surrounding a “super-Earth” extrasolar planet has been measured for the first time.
The planet, GJ 1214b, is three times larger than Earth and about seven times heavier, and is the first planet of its kind known to have an atmosphere.
The method used could be used on many ground-based telescopes to yield atmospheric data on other exoplanets.It works by canceling out the disruptive effects of the Earth’s atmosphere while that of far-flung worlds is measured from the ground.GJ 1214b was first discovered just 40 light-years away in November 2009 and has since become a focus for exoplanet research.
