Hubble Telescope Finds Methane On Jupiter-Sized World
A team of astronomers led by Mark Swain of NASA's Jet Propulsion
Laboratory in Pasadena, CA, has made the first detection ever of an
organic molecule in the atmosphere of a Jupiter-sized planet
orbiting another star. The breakthrough, made with NASA's Hubble
Space Telescope, is an important step in eventually identifying
signs of life on a planet outside our solar system.
