The map provides information about temperatures at different layers of the world’s atmosphere and traces the amount and distribution of water vapor on the planet. The findings have ramifications for ...

A team of scientists using the Hubble Space Telescope has made the most detailed global map yet of the glow from a turbulent exoplanet, revealing its secrets of air temperatures and water vapor.

For the first time, astronomers were able to map the temperature changes across the planet, and what they found is that 55 Cancri e is a place you really, really don’t want to be.

The first-ever temperature map of a world outside our solar system confirms some extrasolar planets are heated by supersonic winds that ferry heat from their day sides to their night sides. The ...

Astronomers used the Webb Telescope to make a temperature map of the “hot Jupiter” exoplanet WASP-18b, revealing dramatic temperature gradients in its atmosphere.

NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope has given astronomers clues about the sizzling climate of the peculiar exoplanet 55 Cancri e, which is twice the size and eight times the mass of Earth.

For the first time, astronomers have created a rough map of a planet orbiting a distant sun-like star, employing a technique that may one day enable mapping of Earth-like worlds. Since the planet ...

Neptune’s atmospheric temperature is on an unexpected roller-coaster ride, and it could take decades for scientists to piece together what’s happening at the distant planet. Each Neptune year ...

A NASA map shows the stark warm-and-cold contrast between the Western United States and regions to the east during late December and early January.
