sulfur dioxideSpace

A 'hot Neptune ' exoplanet has been found to contain sulfur dioxide in its atmosphere.
The planet, dubbed GJ 3470b, is located 96 light-years from Earth .
The presence of sulfur dioxide could help distinguish between theories of how the planet formed.
The discovery was made by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
GJ 3470b orbits so closely to its star, ultraviolet light from the star packs a powerful enough punch to break atmospheric molecules apart with ease.
The stellar wind gradually blows its atmosphere away into space, leaving a stream of hydrogen gas trailing behind.
Already, the planet has lost an estimated 40% of its original mass.
