Observations from Webbâ s NIRCam and MIRI suggest that the planet may be surrounded by an atmosphere rich in carbon dioxide CO2 or carbon monoxide CO Researchers think the gases that make up the atmosphere could have bubbled out of an ocean of magma that is thought to cover the planetâ s surface . Researchers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have detected potential evidence of atmospheric gases
