Webb has revealed an exoplanet atmosphere as never seen before!
The telescope has revisited gas giant WASP-39 b to give us the first molecular and chemical profile of an exoplanet’s atmosphere, revealing the presence of water, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, sodium and potassium, as well as signs of clouds. This builds on Webb’s initial look at the planet back in August, which showed the first clear evidence of carbon dioxide in a planet outside our solar system. The latest findings bode well for Webb’s capability to investigate all types of exoplanets, including the atmospheres of smaller, rocky planets like those in the TRAPPIST-1 system.
We learn about exoplanet atmospheres by breaking their light into components and creating spectra. Think of a spectrum as a barcode. Elements and molecules have characteristic signatures in that “barcode” we can read.
This planet is what is known as a “hot Saturn” — a planet about as massive as Saturn but eight times closer in orbit around its star than Mercury is around the Sun. The data shown here is taken from 3 of Webb’s science instruments. Together, they mark a series of firsts in science, including the first detection of sulfur dioxide in an exoplanet atmosphere. This, in turn, is the first concrete evidence of photochemistry — chemical reactions initiated by high-energy light, which are fundamental to life on Earth — on an exoplanet. Understanding the ratio of different elements in relation to each other also offers clues as to how the planet was formed.

Graphic of the atmospheric composition of exoplanet WASP-39 b, showing 2 graphs and a background illustration of the planet and its star.
(Left side)
The top graph shows data from Webb’s NIRISS instrument, the bottom graph data from NIRSpec. Both graphs show the amount of light blocked on the y axis versus wavelength of light on the x axis. The y axes range from 2.00 percent (less light blocked) to 2.35 percent (more light blocked). The x axes range from less than 0.1 microns to 5.5 microns. Data points are plotted as white circles with gray error bars. A curvy blue line represents a best-fit model. The NIRISS data covers a range of about 0.5 to 3.0 microns and highlights the signatures of potassium, water and carbon monoxide in semi-transparent bars of varying colors. Potassium is gray, water is blue, and carbon monoxide is red. The NIRSpec data covers a range of about 2.5 to 5.25 microns. It highlights water and carbon monoxide in addition to sulfur dioxide in green and carbon dioxide in yellow.

Gordon's Bay, located in the suburb of Coogee, Eastern Sydney, was named after Lewis Gordon who was the Government Surveyor granted land here in the mid-19th century. The bay was also known as Thompson's Bay after John Thompson, who built Cliffbrook, the first house overlooking the bay in 1859 on an estate of 11 acres, part of the former Gordon grant.
Eora/Gadigal Occupation:
The original Aboriginal inhabitants of the City of Sydney local area are the Gadigal people. The territory of the Gadi (gal) people stretched along the southern side of Port Jackson (Sydney Harbour) from South Head to around what is now known as Petersham. Their southern boundary is the area that now forms the Alexandra canal and Cooks River.
There are about 29 clan groups of the Sydney metropolitan area referred to collectively as the Eora Nation. The ‘Eora people’ was the name given to the coastal Aboriginal peoples around Sydney. ‘Eora’ means ‘here’ or ‘from this place’. The Gadigal are a clan of the Eora Nation.
Following the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, the British encountered Aboriginal people around the coves and bays of Port Jackson. Aboriginal communities here were both generous and combative towards the colonisers. Many places around the harbour remained important hunting, fishing and camping grounds long after Europeans settlement, and continue to be culturally significant today.
Despite the destructive impact of first contact, Gadigal culture survived. As the town of Sydney developed into a city, the Gadigal were joined by other Aboriginal people from around NSW to live, work and forge relationships with the urban Aboriginal community.
Sydney’s inner suburbs have long been a magnet for Aboriginal peoples seeking work opportunities, shelter and connections with community and family. The ‘big smoke’ provided work opportunities shelter and reinforced community connections.
There was a growing political activism within Sydney’s Aboriginal community over the 20th century, which led to the development of support systems and facilities for urban Aboriginal people.
The suburb of Redfern was a particular focus for activism around civil and land rights for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Education and schooling nurtured and empowered Aboriginal people living in Sydney in the 20th century. With the growing self-determination movement in the late 1960s, Aboriginal people created and managed their own learning opportunities and initiatives.
For Sydney’s Aboriginal community, sporting and leisure activities have been a way to reinforce social connections, but they also had a political dimension.
Music, dance and theatre are an important means of cultural, political, and spiritual expression for urban Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Many artists and performers have been supported and encouraged by Aboriginal organisations. Visual and artistic expression have been integral to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures. Training opportunities in Sydney have led to an extraordinary range of art practices, exhibitions, galleries and artists’ cooperatives.
Research into Aboriginal people’s history in Sydney is continuously being carried out by the City’s History Unit in collaboration with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Panel, which feeds into and supports the Eora Journey.
Cliffbrook:
John Thompson, Mayor of Randwick in 1873, enjoyed this wonderful location for over 20 years until the property was sold to John Wilson in 1881. When George Hill bought Cliffbrook in 1889 he began to enlarge the house into a 30-room classic Italianate mansion, extravagance he could perhaps not afford. The Bank of New South Wales (NSW) took over the estate in 1899 when Hill went bankrupt, and a caretaker was installed.
From 1907 to 1922 Cliffbrook was occupied by Denison Miller, later Sir Denison Miller, first governer of the Commonwealth Bank. Miller's purchase of the property in 1916, the year the bank opened its head office in Martin Place, ushered Cliffbrook's "heyday", when lavish garden parties were held on its landscaped lawns and terraces overlooking the bright blue waters of the bay.
Subdivision of the estate began in 1918 and the land between Beach Street and Gordon Avenue was sold. The lots on the lower side of Gordon Avenue were sold later and the foreshore strip was purchased by Randwick Council. In 1921 Miller built the second Cliffbrook mansion, now 45 Beach Street, in Edwardian style on the site of the original house's stabled. He then sold the original Cliffbrook in 1922.
There is now nothing left of elegant old Cliffbrook. In poor condition, it was demolished in 1976 for townhouses. For many years it had been occupied by Miss Ella Schiller, who lived a secluded existence in an upstairs room while the house crumbled around her. Second Cliffbrook came into the ownership of the Commonwealth Government, and was the headquarters of the Australian Atomic Energy Commission from 1953 - 1982, falling vacant when it moved out. Unable to attract a buyer, it become an increasing embarrassment for the government, and debate swirled over its future development for residential use, public housing, or open space. It was eventually purchased by the University of New South Wales in 1993 for restoration as a historic building.

Bow Bridge.
Winter in Central Park, New York City.
"When Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903) and Calvert Vaux (1824-1895) designed Central Park in 1858, they developed an innovative interwoven transportation system of pedestrian paths, bridle trails, and carriage drives. Since the park is only one-half mile wide, the designers had to create a compact system of bridges and arches that allowed for separate levels of pathways. Vaux and his assistant Jacob Wrey Mould (1825-1886) created 35 unique structures, each with its own distinct style. They used brick, granite, marble, cast iron, and rustic wood and fashioned rusticated gneiss boulders out of the rock outcrops. Subsequent changes in the system of paths led to tearing down three of the original arches and the construction of four others.
Bow Bridge, shaped like an archer's bow, was built between 1859 and 1862. It connects the Ramble and Cherry Hill, and spans more than 60 feet of the Lake. Because the south bank was higher than the north, construction of the cast iron bridge included raising the height of its northern abutment. Janes, Kirkland, and Co., the firm responsible for the dome of The Capitol in Washington, D.C., did the ironwork for the span of Bow Bridge. Vaux and Mould created the ornamental iron railing that incorporates elements of Gothic, Neo-Classical, and Renaissance design."

The 2K11 Krug (Russian: 2К11 «Круг»; English: circle) is a Soviet and now Russian long-range, medium-to-high altitude surface-to-air missile (SAM) system. "2K11" is its GRAU designation, while SA-4 Ganef is its NATO reporting name. The system was designed by NPO Novator and produced by Kalinin Machine Building Plant.
Development of the Krug ZRK-SD (2K11) air defense system started in 1957 by the Lyulev OKB design bureau. It was first displayed during a parade in Moscow in May 1964. The system started to be fielded in 1967 and became fully operational in 1969. It was used by the Russian Army as a long-range SAM.
The early version of the Krug entered service in 1965. The first operational deployment version, the Krug-A, entered service in 1967, with extensively modified versions, the Krug-M in 1971 and the Krug-M1 in 1974, which were developed to rectify problems discovered during army service.[1] The upgraded version Krug-M was fielded in 1971 and the Krug-M1 in 1974. A target drone called 9M316M Virazh, developed from obsolete Krug missiles, was proposed for export in 1994.
The 2K11 was briefly operated by the Soviet army during the war in Afghanistan in 1979 and 1980, but was withdrawn several months after the initial invasion.[4] In 1997, it was reported[2] that, between 1993 and 1996, some 27 fire units of Krug and 349 missiles had been sold to Armenia. Poland flight tested four missiles in September 2006 against P-15 Termit (SS-N-2 'Styx') targets.
The missiles are launched with the aid of four solid fuel rocket motors inside boosters attached to the outside of the massive missile. Once they have burned and the missile is aloft, it fires a liquid-fuelled ramjet sustainer engine. It reaches speeds of up to Mach 4 and has an effective range of 50–55 km (31–34 miles) depending upon the version. It carries a 135 kg (300 lb) warhead. Possible engagement altitudes range from 100 m-27 km (330-88,500 feet). 3M8 missile was designed and produced by NPO Novator.
Missile guidance is via radio command with a terminal semi-active radar homing (SARH) phase. Optical tracking is possible for the initial command guidance stage in a heavy ECM environment.

No need to stop at the gas station to refuel this vehicle, although an occasional stop for hay and water would help keep it running smoothly.
The engine has three donkey-power. Can you count all 12 legs?
On our visit to a local village in Zimbabwe, we were able to observe a style of life very different from our own and meet many wonderful local people, who seemed both very happy in their less complicated world, but at the same time very curious about ours.
