Secrets of a Hot Saturn and its Spotted Star Unlocked by 平特五不中, Universit茅 de Montr茅al Astronomers
Exoplanets, planets located beyond our Solar System, captivate both scientists and the public, holding the promise of unveiling diverse planetary systems and potentially habitable worlds. Despite being very much not like our Earth, large gas giant planets found very close to their stars have proven to be ideal test targets for telescopes like the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to refine astronomers鈥� methods of understanding exoplanets.
How does one species become many?
Evolutionary biologists have long suspected that the diversification of a single species into multiple descendent species 鈥� that is, an 鈥渁daptive radiation鈥� 鈥� is the result of each species adapting to a different environment. Yet formal tests of this hypothesis have been elusive owing to the difficulty of firmly establishing the relationship between species traits and evolutionary 鈥渇itness鈥� for a group of related species that recently diverged from a common ancestral species.
