The observations were obtained simultaneously and independently by two separate teams for two different planets. Incredibly, they were also able to determine properties of the exoplanets’ atmospheres as well. Measuring the light emitted from a planet … Continue reading "Ground-Based Telescopes Observe Atmospheres of Exoplanets"
