The James Webb Space Telescope is capable of much more than taking gorgeous pictures of our galaxy. It could help us find habitable planets within reach ⬇️
Looking at how the simulated exoplanet's climate responds to increases in greenhouse gases, and particularly the effect of carbon dioxide on extreme weather conditions and on the rate of changes in weather, the team then compared TRAPPIST-1e to Earth.
"These two variables are crucial for the existence of life on other planets, and they are now being studied in depth for the first time in history," project leader and professor at the Fredy & Nadine Herrmann Institute of Earth Sciences at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem , Assaf Hochman, said in aWhat Hochman and his colleagues discovered was that TRAPPIST-1e has an atmosphere that is significantly more sensitive to greenhouse gases than that of Earth.
This increased sensitivity may be because TRAPPIST-1e is tidally locked to its star. This means that one side of the exoplanet permanently faces the star and this 'dayside' is constantly bombarded with radiation, unlike Earth which rotates as it orbits

Your Company Needs a Space Strategy. Now.Space is becoming a potential source of value for businesses across a range of sectors, including agriculture, pharmaceuticals, consumer goods, and tourism. To understand what the opportunities are for your company, the authors advise you to consider the four ways in which using space could create value: data, capabilities, resources, and markets. For most companies thinking about their space strategy over the next five to 10 years, data will be the dominant focus. For instance, many companies are turning to remote-sensing satellites for data that will inform business decisions. Whether it’s tracking the number of cars parked in retail locations, detecting costly and environmentally damaging methane leaks from natural-gas wells, or assessing soil type and moisture content to maximize crop yields, creative uses for data gathered from space abound. Companies looking further ahead will want to explore the value to be gained from conducting activities in space, utilizing space assets, and meeting demand from the new space age. Businesses engaging with commercial space should be willing to experiment and should look for partners.
