New Europe Telescope revealed CHEOPS Who studies planets for his first detailed analysis of a hot alien planet tilted around a warped star, as the European Space Agency launched (THATLast December, the characteristic exoplanet satellite, nicknamed CHEOPS, Who began his scientific observations in April.

According to the site “space“ The American, is not designed CHEOPS To discover alien planets, but instead to inform scientists so that they can create images of them, and in the first published results of the mission, scientists were on a mission CHEOPS From that exactly, they were able to form a detailed picture of a planet WASP-189b, Which was first discovered in 2018.

Said Kate Isaac, project scientist CHEOPS In the European Space Agency, in a statement: This is the first result from CHEOPS Very exciting, it is conclusive early proof that the mission is fulfilling its promise of accuracy and performance. “

Notes CHEOPS until WASP-189b It is a planet orbiting an alien star, which is why mission scientists chose to study the planet very early in the spacecraft’s period.

The superheated star is also very hot, it appears blue, and the planet is very close to the star orbiting it in only 2.7 Earth days.

“Only a handful of planets are known around stars at this high temperature, and this system is by far the brightest,” said Monica Lindel, an astrophysicist at the University of Geneva in Switzerland and lead researcher of the new study, in the same statement.

Lindel added, “Because the exoplanet WASP-189b So close to its star, the side of its day is so bright that we can even measure the lost light when the planet passes behind its star. “
