This illustration shows what exoplanet WASP-39 b could look like, based on the current understanding of the planet. WASP-39 b is a hot, puffy gas giant with a mass 0.28 times Jupiter (0.94 times Saturn) and a diameter 1.3 times greater than Jupiter, orbiting just 0.0486 astronomical units (4,500,000 miles) from its star. The star, WASP-39, is fractionally smaller and less massive than the Sun. Because it is so close to its star, WASP-39 b is very hot and is likely to be tidally locked, with one side facing the star at all times. Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, Joseph Olmsted (STScI)

WASP-39 b is a planet unlike any in our solar system – a Saturn-sized behemoth that orbits its star closer than Mercury is to our Sun.

Must be a wimpy li'l star to rip the shreds out of this planet.

“Hot Jupiters” aren’t rare. What’s rare is our solar system.

And here I was going to make a monument to commemorate this great exoplanet but it would only be pulled down by woke BLM saboteurs.

drip...drip...drip....

They are slowly lifting the curtain—because if you saw it all at once it would blind you.

All of physics, chemistry, biology is gonna have to be done over....

and then you will say “I knew it all the time!”

DON'T DO IT! You will receive the opprobrium of the entire political establishment, the Propaganda Machine, and the entire woke pandemic!

Think what happened to the benevolent citizens who exercised their God-given, Constitution-recognized right to peaceably assembly in January 6, 2021!

"... a plethora of contents, including water, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, sodium, and potassium."

Hmmm...
I've sometimes worried that these interstellar chemical analyses could be contaminated by bad breath or dirty hands of the scientists and engineers who built the measuring systems...

Maybe a lunch, eating a hotdog with mustard & relish, and also consuming a beer, might possibly have been the actual source of these JWST results...

Just saying...😲
