exoplanets spectra GJ436b Spitzer

Spectra of the atmosphere of the planet GJ436b in the constellation Loe show evidence for carbon monoxide. Theoretical studies using numerical models however predicted that this planet's carbon inventory should be stored in the form of methane rather than CO as its temperature is estimated to be 800K. Where this inaccuracy of atmospheric models comes from is not known and has to be investigated further.

NASA aims to "create a healthy private-sector competition for transport to the space station". Through this the development of space tourism is enforced and an increase in the number of rocket launches should be expected.

Climate models are not able to reproduce the observed decrease in stratospheric water vapor which shows that the global water cycle is still not known well enough and further research is desperately needed.
