| SPACE.com storySpitzer? We don't need no steenking Spitzer! - Quote :
- The team took more than 600 images of OGLE-TR056b with both telescopes. The planet is hotter than any detected by Spitzer so far — its atmosphere is more than 4,400 degrees Fahrenheit (2,400 degrees Celsius).
The observations also indicated that the planet has little to no cloud cover and a static atmosphere with little circulation, López-Morales told SPACE.com in an email. I guess that means there's little heat being circulated to the dark side, rather like ups And b, which for such a hot planet would be expected from the pM/pL division.
