Heaviest Element Barium Found in Ottoplanet Atmosphere

Heaviest Element Barium Found in Ottoplanet Atmosphere – An extremely hot exoplanet located outside our solar system is depicted in this artist's impression as it prepares to pass in front of its own star. Chemical compounds and molecules in the gas layer filter starlight as it passes through the planet's atmosphere. The signatures of these elements and molecules can be seen from Earth using sensitive equipment. Two extremely hot Jupiters, WASP-76 b and WASP-121 b, were discovered by astronomers using the ESO Very Large Telescope's ESPRESSO instrument. Barium is the heaviest element ever discovered in the atmosphere of an exoplanet. Photo courtesy of ESO/M. Kornmesser
