Using the James Webb Space Telescope , astronomers have discovered that one of the closest"hot Jupiter" planets to Earth stinks like rotten eggs. The planet is already infamous for its deadly rains of glass, extreme temperatures, and 5,000 mph winds that blow sideways, but this discovery makes this world seem even less friendly.
Not only were Fu and colleagues able to detect hydrogen sulfide in the atmosphere of HD 189733 b, but they also measured the planet's overall sulfur content.
"This Jupiter-mass planet is very close to Earth and has been very well studied. Now we have this new measurement to show that indeed the metal concentrations it has provide a very important anchor point to this study of how a planet’s composition varies with its mass and radius," Fu said.
