Artist’s concept of the Pandora mission. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech Host Andres Almeida: For decades, scientists have been studying exoplanets, or worlds outside our solar system, using several methods. One way is by measuring the light that passes through a planet’s atmosphere, a process called spectroscopy. This helps us figure out whatContinue Reading
