JWST detected the signature of water while the rocky exoplanet GJ 486 b crossed its star, raising hopes of a steam-rich atmosphere just 26 light-years away. But cool patches on the star can imitate exactly the same signal—and follow-up observations now suggest the planet is probably airless.
GJ 486 b offered two readings of the same small rise in a spectrum. In one, water vapour…
