NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has revealed another first— a molecular and chemical profile of a distant world's skies.
Previously, Webb and other space telescopes, including NASA's Hubble and Spitzer, have provided isolated readings of the planet's atmosphere. Still, the new Webb readings reveal atoms, molecules, and even signs of active chemistry and clouds, according to an official report.

In the simplest terms, the field of stellar astrophysics is the general study of stars. However, it is a broad field that includes a lot of topics. Stars produce energy in their cores and radiate it out to the environment around them. They are full of magnetic fields and nuclear reactions.
In addition, most exoplanet detection methods are indirect and only tell us about the exoplanet through signals in the star's light. This can sometimes make it hard to disentangle a planet's signal from its star's signal. Stars are not perfectly static objects.
