From what I’ve always heard, they only know of exoplanets when they slightly dim their star as they transverse across it.

Now they can tell what the atmosphere contains from THAT?

Planet on the EPA Super Fund list for heavy metal clean-up?

They need more DEF in their diesel burn.

"the heaviest element detected in any exoplanet atmosphere"

Hmmm....of the "heaviest element" is in the atmosphere....:

A - Is their gravity is broken?,

B - Was there some "recent" explosion and the element hasn't settled out yet?...
