A recap on our second event of Earth Week x Astrobites 2022: “Comparative Planetology as a Catalyst for Climate Conversation” given by Dr. David Grinspoon. How can Venus, Mars and Titan help us improve our climate models?
Hot Jupiters are eponymously hot from outside. How does this heat affect their atmospheres and deep interiors?
Two years ago this month, I wrote my very first astrobite about the puzzlingly cloudy atmosphere of the outermost planet, HR 8799b; today I’m revisiting the system and looking at a recent paper which measured spectra of not just one planet, but the entire planetary system. This is the first comparative spectroscopic study of any multi-planet system (other than our own Solar System of course).
