Hubble Telescope Discovers Water Vapor in Small Exoplanet's Atmosphere
TL;DR Summary
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has detected water vapour on exoplanet GJ9827d, located 97 light years away from Earth. The planet, approximately twice the size of Earth, has the potential for a water-rich atmosphere, although its high temperature of 800 degrees Fahrenheit makes it inhospitable. This discovery marks a significant step in identifying Earth-like worlds and understanding the prevalence and diversity of atmospheres on rocky planets.
