Illustration of a rocky planet and its red dwarf star on an empty black background. The planet is large, in the foreground on the lower right and the star is smaller, in the background at the upper left. The planet is various shades of gray, with some small craters. There is no apparent atmosphere. The left quarter of the planet (the side facing the star) is lit, while the rest is in shadow. The star has a bright orange-red glow, and appears to have a very active surface with multiple flares.

The first #NASAWebb results from TRAPPIST-1 are in! Measurements of mid-infrared light from TRAPPIST-1 b indicate that the rocky Earth-sized planet is hot enough to bake pizza and is probably devoid of atmosphere. What does this mean? ➡️ https://webbtelescope.pub/3nlCcLc
