            "title": "Webb Telescope spots “impossible” atmosphere on ancient super Earth",
            "description": "Astronomers have uncovered surprising evidence of a thick atmosphere surrounding TOI-561 b, a scorching, fast-orbiting rocky planet once thought too extreme to hold onto any gas. Using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, researchers found the planet is far cooler than expected for a bare rock, hinting at a heat-distributing atmosphere above a churning magma ocean. This strange world—where a year lasts just over 10 hours and one side is locked in eternal daylight—may even be rich in volatile materials, behaving like a “wet lava ball.”",
            "content": "The planet, known as TOI-561 b, has about twice the mass of Earth but is dramatically different in almost every other way. It orbits extremely close to its star, at a distance just one fortieth that of Mercury from the Sun. Even though its star is sl... [5992 chars]",
