2/3 The JWST's findings suggest LHS 3844 b may have experienced significant space weathering. Its surface is a dark regolith, similar to that of planet Mercury or the Moon, possibly shaped by meteorite impacts and stellar irradiation. 🌠 #PlanetaryScience #SpaceWeather
Tomorrow at the Heidelberg Joint Astronomical Colloquium, Ian Roederer will show how UV spectroscopy with the ELT and the proposed Habitable Worlds Observatory mission could revolutionize our understanding of the first stars in the decades ahead 🔭

The JWST thermal emission spectrum of the rocky exoplanet LHS 3844 b points to a dark, basalt-like surface shaped by space weathering. The data provide tight limits on CO2 and SO2, ruling out a substa...
