According to NASA, this outer planet is called WASP-39B, which is about 700 light years from the earth, and runs around a category. Because the quality of WASP-39B is about equivalent to Saturn, the temperature is as high as 776.7 degrees Celsius during the day, and it is almost the same as hot at night. Therefore, it is called "hot Saturn" by astronomers.
It is reported that although the astronomers discovered the external planet as early as 2011, this time through the near-infrared spectrometer on the Weber Space Telescope observed the WASP-39B, it was first detected that the carbon dioxide in its atmosphere was clear for the first time. evidence.

"When related data appeared on my screen, the obvious carbon dioxide 'signal' immediately attracted my attention. This is a special moment." Said Zhafal, a graduate and research team member of Johns Hopkins.
In this regard, some analysts said that because carbon dioxide is an important substance that constitutes organic life, it may make the research work of astronomers break through to further explore signs of life existence.
At present, this discovery has been published in the magazine of nature.
