Webb telescope is about to take an unprecedented look at these intriguing exoplanets
CNN
When the James Webb Space Telescope launches in December, astronomers around the world are expecting to find the unexpected, said Sara Seager, astrophysicist and planetary scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The space observatory will be able to look into the distant universe as well as observe objects in our own solar system. But the telescope has almost become synonymous with exoplanets, or worlds outside of our solar system, that it will be able to observe in unique ways.
Telescope time has been granted to a number of proposals by astronomers who want to observe an intriguing range of exoplanets. Some of these could share similar characteristics with planets we recognize in our own cosmological backyard, while others couldn't be more opposite. Webb was not designed to find signs of life on other planets, but it can shed light on the mysteries of planetary evolution, as well as their atmospheres and what chemistry exists within them.
