For the first time, the US Wob telescope found the evidence of the existence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of the outer planet

Xinhua News Agency, Los Angeles, August 26 (Reporter Tan Jingjing) The US Space Agency said on the 25th that the James Weiban Space Telescope first found clear evidence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of the solar system.

In a bulletin, the US Aerospace Administration introduced that the planet named WASP-39 B is a giant gaseous planet, about 700 light years from the earth. It is 1.3 times that of Jupiter, and the surface temperature is about 900 degrees Celsius.

According to the communiqué, the researchers use the near -infrared spectrometer (NIRSPEC) equipped with the Wabbu Telescope to observe the giant gaseous planet. Its atmospheric spectrum data provides the clear and detailed evidence of carbon dioxide in the atmospheric atmosphere of the solar system.

The U.S. Aerospace Administration said that the detectors such as the Hubble Space Telescope and the Spirzer Space Telescope had discovered water vapor, sodium and potassium in the atmosphere of WASP-39 B planet. The discovery of the Webb Space Telescope confirmed that there was still carbon dioxide on this planet.

The U.S. Aerospace Administration said that understanding the atmospheric composition of the planet is very important for the origin and evolution of the planet. Although WASP-39 B is a giant gaseous planet, this discovery shows that the future Weibu telescope may detect carbon dioxide in smaller rock planets.

The Wubu Space Telescope was jointly studied and developed by the US Astronautics Agency, the European Space Agency and the Canadian Astronautics Agency, and was considered the "successor" of the Hubble Space Telescope. The telescope was launched from French Guiyukaru Aerospace Center on December 25, 2021. On January 24 this year, it successfully entered the tracking track around the second Laglang day point around the Ragland system.
