Mystery of Puffy Exoplanet WASP-107b Solved: New Discoveries from JWST and Hubble Reveal Hotter Interior and More Massive Core

Broke On: Tuesday, 21 May 2024 Scientists, using data from NASA's JWST and Hubble Space Telescope, reveal new insights into the puffy nature of exoplanet WASP-107b. The discovery of a scarcity of methane in its atmosphere indicates a hotter interior and more massive core. Advanced spectroscopic techniques detect carbon-, oxygen-, nitrogen- and sulfur-bearing molecules for the first time in a transiting exoplanet, shedding light on its composition. The high temperature is attributed to tidal heating from its slightly elliptical orbit around its host star.
