Team Uses JWST Data to Map Weather on Distant Exoplanet

A team of researchers has interpreted data from the James Webb Space Telescope in order to map weather conditions on WASP-43b, an exoplanet 283 light-years away from Earth. BAERI’s Taylor Bell, lead author of a study published in the journal Nature Astronomy, discusses how the team used information from the telescope to uncover the nature of the planet’s weather.
