MEXICO.- The universe It is perhaps one of the most unknown places and from which we could learn the most, since every moment we are closer and also further away from understanding something as large as our space, even though we know the Solar system until a certain point.
The rest of universe remains unexplored, so it is probably full of other planets, nebulae and even more suns than we could imagine, because surely there are exoplanets that we have never seen and that thanks to the attempts of the corresponding organizations, these will become more and more known.
This is the planet that has two faces
It has been called WASP-43b to this exoplanet, which has been known through POTsince on their website they have a detailed report of this new discovery, which also has unique climatic conditions in a gas giant like it.
And it is that the POT and their research styles with climate models have been able to demonstrate that WASP-43b It is a planet with synchronous rotation, which means that one of its faces is always shown by its star, leaving the other side of the planet in total darkness.
WASP-43b It is similar in size to Jupiter and is composed mainly of helium and hydrogen. Its temperatures are higher than planets of the same magnitude that have been seen, since it is located 2 million kilometers from its respective solar star.
Taylor Bell, scientist and austro of an investigation in Nature Astronomy I talk a little about this exoplanet, since it had been spotted before with telescopes Hubble and Spitzerso he did not hesitate to publish a work of his own authorship to talk about one of the most radical exoplanets he has seen.
“With Hubble, we could clearly see that there was water vapor on its day side, both Hubble and Spitzer suggest that there could be clouds on the night side, but we needed precise measurements that only Webb could give us, to start to really map the temperature, cloud cover, winds and more details of the atmospheric composition around the planet,” said Taylor Bell.
