Summary

This episode of ‘Dernières Nouvelles des Étoiles’ (DNDE) covers several space news items. The main story is the James Webb Space Telescope’s detailed analysis of the atmosphere of exoplanet WASP-39b, located 700 light-years away. Using transit spectroscopy, JWST detected carbon dioxide, sulfur, and silicates, and the data suggest the planet formed through collisions of planetesimals and migrated inward. The video also shows a JWST image of Titan. Other topics include China’s plans to test space-based solar power from its space station, with a goal of 2 GW by 2050, and Europe’s Solaris initiative studying the feasibility of space solar power. The ESA’s budget for 2023-2025 was set at €16.9 billion, a 16.6% increase. Hungary announced a private astronaut mission to the ISS via Axiom Space for $100 million. Finally, SpaceX’s launch cadence is highlighted, with a record pace of over one launch per week.
