Astronomers Discover Giant Tails of Helium Around Jupiter-Like Exoplanets
In an exciting discovery, astronomers have found evidence of giant tails of helium being produced by Jupiter-like exoplanets. This discovery was made when researchers used the Hubble Space Telescope to observe the atmosphere of exoplanet WASP-107b, located about 200 light-years away in the constellation Virgo. The tails, which are formed when the planet passes in front of its host star, stretch for thousands of kilometers into space. This is the first time that astronomers have seen such a phenomenon around an exoplanet. This discovery could help us better understand the atmospheres of these distant worlds.
