James Webb Corrects Hubble Data on Exoplanet WASP-94A b (xataka.com)

0xBASE INTEL BRIEF
  • Hubble data showed seemingly impossible high oxygen and carbon levels in WASP-94A b.
  • James Webb corrected these to five times Jupiter's levels, consistent with physics.
  • Webb detected silicate clouds that dissipate from morning to evening side.

"The exoplanet WASP-94A b, a hot Jupiter, showed anomalously high oxygen and carbon levels in Hubble data. New observations with the James Webb Space Telescope revealed these levels are much lower and consistent with known models. Additionally, silicate clouds were discovered that dissipate at sunset. The study was published in Science."
