Exciting time for exoplanets

According to results published in the Astrophysical Journal, European astronomers have found hydrogen and helium in the atmosphere around Janssen, which may have a diamond-like core due to its very high density. This atmosphere is likely a remnant of the nebula from which the planet and its star formed about 8 billion years ago. The planet has kept this atmosphere somehow, despite the proximity of its star.

Astronomers have detected a Super-Earth atmosphere for the first time
Diamond-like world isn’t going to be on anyone’s bucket list, though.
