James Webb Telescope Reveals Potential Water on Earth-like Exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 e

The James Webb Space Telescope's initial observations of the exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 e suggest it has lost its primordial atmosphere due to stellar flaring, but the presence of a secondary atmosphere cannot be ruled out. Ongoing and future observations aim to clarify its atmospheric composition, which is crucial for understanding its potential habitability.

James Webb Telescope Investigates Potential Life on Earth-Like Exoplanet TRAPPIST-1e

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is studying the Earth-sized exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 e, focusing on its atmosphere and potential habitability. Initial observations suggest the planet may have lost its primary atmosphere, but the presence of a secondary atmosphere with greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide remains possible, which could support liquid water. Further observations aim to clarify the planet's surface conditions and atmospheric composition, advancing our understanding of potentially habitable worlds beyond our solar system.
