Q&A: COROT-7b????????????

blogadmin - Thursday, 2 February 2012 11:06

Question by Mac A: COROT-7b????????????
I thought the planet discovered with a solid” surface was one orbiting Gliese 581. I know it supposedly has water but I thought that was “solid” water. Even if it is liquid water then i consider it likely that it probably has a solid core under the water. So i dont understand the supposed “new” announcement of COROT-7b being the first solid planet.

Answer by Scott
Well, hopefully the James Webb in 2014 will be able to tell us a great deal more.
