The James Webb Space Telescope has analyzed the atmosphere of an
exoplanet and found astonishing new evidence of water vapor, carbon
dioxide, and sulfur dioxide. In this episode, you will learn:

1. The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered new atmospheric
compositions on the exoplanet Wasp-39b, including sulfur dioxide,
potassium, and carbon monoxide.

2. The shape of our galaxy may be more complicated than previously
thought, with a halo of stars and other objects surrounding the
disk of stars.

3. The Gaia spacecraft has measured the positions and motions of
stars with unprecedented accuracy, providing new insights into the
structure of our galaxy.

"The latest results, though, they were pretty impressive, what
we've heard so far. But the ones that we're seeing now are really
quite staggering because the Webb using its infrared equipment in a
way that lets you investigate the atmosphere of this planet as it
passes in front of its parent

I'm joined by Professor Fred Watson on Space Nuts, where we talk
astronomy, space science, and how to solve some of your pet
problems. We're discussing a new discovery by the James Webb Space
Telescope which analyzed the atmosphere of an exoplanet and found
some astonishing results. We're also looking at the true shape of
our galaxy, which turns out to be more like a football than a
sphere. And with the World Cup on, I thought we would have been no,
not at all. We're going to answer questions about Jodrell bank and
surprise, surprise, dark matter and black holes all coming up on
the very next edition, this one of Space Nuts
