NASA’s Webb Confirms Its First Exoplanet

Researchers confirmed an exoplanet, a planet that orbits another star, using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope for the first time. Formally classified as LHS 475 b, the planet is almost exactly the same size as our own, clocking in at 99% of Earth’s diameter. The research team is led by Kevin Stevenson and Jacob Lustig-Yaeger, both of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland.

The team chose to observe this target with Webb after carefully reviewing targets of interest from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), which hinted at the planet’s existence. Webb’s Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) captured the planet easily and clearly with only two transit observations. “There is no question that the planet is there. Webb’s pristine data validate it,” said Lustig-Yaeger. “The fact that it is also a small, rocky planet is impressive for the observatory,” Stevenson added.

“These first observational results from an Earth-size, rocky planet open the door to many future possibilities for studying rocky planet atmospheres with Webb,” agreed Mark Clampin, Astrophysics Division director at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “Webb is bringing us closer and closer to a new understanding of Earth-like worlds outside our solar system, and the mission is only just getting started.”

Webb Telescope'un teyit edilen ilk ötegezegeni, Dünya'nın %99’u çapında

Teleskop Kozmosa 41 ışıkyılı uzaktan baktı ve Octans takımyıldızında Dünya’nın %99’u çapında bir gezegen buldu: LHS 475 b‘ye merhaba deyin. Johns Hopkins Üniversitesi Uygulamalı Fizik Laboratuvarı’ndan Stevenson ve Lustig-Yaeger liderliğindeki bir astronom ekibi, NASA’nın Geçiş Yapan Ötegezegen Araştırma Uydusu’ndan (TESS) elde edilen verileri araştırırken ilk olarak aday dış gezegenin…

HISTÓRICO!!! JAMES WEBB DESCOBRE O SEU PRIMEIRO EXOPLANETA!!!

Formalmente classificado como LHS 475 b, o planeta tem quase exatamente o mesmo tamanho que o nosso, com 99% do diâmetro da Terra. A equipe de pesquisa é liderada por Kevin Stevenson e Jacob Lustig-Yaeger, ambos do Laboratório de Física Aplicada da Universidade Johns Hopkins em Laurel, Maryland. A equipe escolheu observar esse alvo com Webb depois de revisar cuidadosamente os dados do Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) da NASA, que sugeriam a existência do planeta. O Espectrógrafo de infravermelho próximo (NIRSpec) do Webb capturou o planeta com facilidade e clareza com apenas duas observações de trânsito. “Não há dúvida de que o planeta está lá. Os dados originais do Webb o validam”, disse Lustig-Yaeger. “O fato de ser também um planeta pequeno e rochoso é impressionante para o observatório”, acrescentou Stevenson. “Estes primeiros resultados observacionais de um planeta rochoso do tamanho da Terra abrem as portas para muitas possibilidades futuras para estudar atmosferas de planetas rochosos com Webb”, concordou Mark Clampin, diretor da Divisão de Astrofísica na sede da NASA em Washington. “Webb está nos aproximando cada vez mais de uma nova compreensão de mundos semelhantes à Terra fora do Sistema Solar, e a missão está apenas começando.” Entre todos os telescópios em operação, apenas o Webb é capaz de caracterizar as atmosferas de exoplanetas do tamanho da Terra. A equipe tentou avaliar o que há na atmosfera do planeta analisando seu espectro de transmissão. Embora os dados mostrem que este é um planeta terrestre do tamanho da Terra, eles ainda não sabem se ele possui uma atmosfera. “Os dados do observatório são lindos”, disse Erin May, também do Laboratório de Física Aplicada da Universidade Johns Hopkins. “O telescópio é tão sensível que pode detectar facilmente uma variedade de moléculas, mas ainda não podemos tirar conclusões definitivas sobre a atmosfera do planeta.” Embora a equipe não possa concluir o que está presente, ela pode dizer com certeza o que não está presente. “Existem algumas atmosferas do tipo terrestre que podemos descartar”, explicou Lustig-Yaeger. “Não pode ter uma atmosfera espessa dominada por metano, semelhante à da lua de Saturno, Titã.” A equipe também observa que, embora seja possível que o planeta não tenha atmosfera, existem algumas composições atmosféricas que não foram descartadas, como uma atmosfera de dióxido de carbono puro. “Contra-intuitivamente, uma atmosfera com 100% de dióxido de carbono é muito mais compacta que se torna muito difícil de detectar”, disse Lustig-Yaeger. Medições ainda mais precisas são necessárias para a equipe distinguir uma atmosfera de dióxido de carbono puro de nenhuma atmosfera. Os pesquisadores estão programados para obter espectros adicionais com mais observações neste verão. Webb também revelou que o planeta é algumas centenas de graus mais quente que a Terra, portanto, se forem detectadas nuvens, isso pode levar os pesquisadores a concluir que o planeta é mais parecido com Vênus, que tem uma atmosfera de dióxido de carbono e está perpetuamente envolto em nuvens espessas. “Estamos na vanguarda do estudo de exoplanetas pequenos e rochosos”, disse Lustig-Yaeger. “Nós mal começamos a arranhar a superfície de como suas atmosferas podem ser.” Os pesquisadores também confirmaram que o planeta completa uma órbita em apenas dois dias, informação que foi revelada quase instantaneamente pela curva de luz precisa de Webb. Embora o LHS 475 b esteja mais próximo de sua estrela do que qualquer planeta do Sistema Solar, sua estrela anã vermelha tem menos da metade da temperatura do Sol, então os pesquisadores projetam que ainda poderia suportar uma atmosfera. As descobertas dos pesquisadores abriram a possibilidade de identificar planetas do tamanho da Terra orbitando estrelas anãs vermelhas menores. “Esta confirmação do planeta rochoso destaca a precisão dos instrumentos da missão”, disse Stevenson. “E é apenas a primeira de muitas descobertas que ele fará.” Lustig-Yaeger concordou: “Com este telescópio, os exoplanetas rochosos são a nova fronteira”. LHS 475 b está relativamente próximo, a apenas 41 anos-luz de distância, na constelação de Octans. Os resultados da equipe foram apresentados em uma coletiva de imprensa da American Astronomical Society (AAS) na quarta-feira, 11 de janeiro de 2023.

Why do British schools force their kids to read about such sensitive topics in their English lessons?

Like I've had to study 6 pieces of prose literature for my English GCSE / A level so far and:

3/6 contain a rape

4/6 contain a suicide

ALL of them deal HEAVILY with death

And I'll state the reasons for the suicides too because don't think they're trying to teach us about mental health

One was a punishment for being gay (the author was gay himself, and its a criticism of the 1940s, but my point still stands)

TWO were punishment for "playing god"

One was punishment for promiscuity (again a criticism of society but the point remains)

You probably couldn't tell me which pieces of literature I've studied, because SO MANY are like this. And it's not that all "Classics" are like that because Jane Austen's works and Shakespeare's comedies are not at all like this, to name just a few examples. I'm SICK of these depressing stories and no its not "art" to kill all of your characters - make me feel happy, make me feel like life is worth living.

I get asked by my teachers a lot "why do we study this? What's so great about this work that the exam board deems it good enough to be studied" and honestly, I've run out of ways to bullshit them into thinking i like the text
