Una nueva visión de la Nebulosa del AnilloInvestigadores del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias establecen la estructura tridimensional de esta singular nebulosa planetaria de la constelación de la Lira
An international team, in which the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias participates, has succeeded in mapping for the first time the three-dimensional structure of the atmosphere of an exoplanet, that is a planet beyond the Solar System. This research, published today in Nature , has been able to discover very strong winds that carry chemical elements such as iron and titanium, which create certain weather patterns through the planet's atmosphere. This mapping opens the door to more comprehensive and detailed studies of the chemical composition and climate of other planets. Enric Pallé
