By looking at the 3D structure of the atmosphere, the researchers found that the planets has winds which act in different layers. The iron, sodium, and hydrogen elements all move in separate ...

For the first time, scientists have traced the winds in separate layers of an exoplanet’s atmosphere, uncovering a vertical ...

The team has now probed deep inside Tylos's atmosphere and revealed distinct winds in separate layers, forming a map of the atmosphere's 3D structure.

Hey Ray: The Layers of the Atmosphere 03:12. PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - I like to think of the atmosphere as sort of a big sandwich since the atmosphere isn't just one layer.

Astronomers reveal 3D structure of an alien planet's atmosphere. By Will Dunham. February 19, 2025 5:07 PM UTC Updated February 19, 2025 ... Earth does have a sodium layer in the upper atmosphere.

Astronomers have peered through the atmosphere of a planet beyond the Solar System, mapping its 3D structure for the first time. By combining all four telescope units of the European Southern ...

To uncover the 3D structure of the exoplanet's atmosphere, the team used the ESPRESSO instrument on ESO's VLT to combine the light of its four large telescope units into a single signal.
