Nasa's Webb telescope spots intriguing distant planet with water vapour atmosphere | The Independent

Nasa 's James Webb Space Telescope has helped astronomers find a strange faraway rocky planet that shows hints of a water vapour-rich atmosphere despite its proximity to its star.

Researchers, including those from Nasa's Goddard space center, say the exoplanet known as GJ 486 b is too close to its star to be within the habitable zone, with a surface temperature of about 800 degrees Fahrenheit.
