In a pioneering study published in Nature, researchers have presented their findings on the atmospheric properties of the exoplanet WASP-39b. Using data obtained from the JWST NIRISS instrument, the team successfully breaks model degeneracies and reveals intriguing insights into the exoplanet's heavy-element enhancement, carbon-to-oxygen ratio, potassium-to-oxygen ratio, and the presence of wavelength-dependent, non-grey clouds.

A review article explores the significance of analyzing terrestrial analogues to enhance spectroscopic capabilities for Mars exploration. The review highlights key findings and lessons learned from studying terrestrial analogues, providing valuable insights for the development of spectroscopic systems in current and future missions to Mars.

On July 20th, 1969, American astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin made history by becoming the first humans to land on the moon. Today, 54 years later, Spectroscopy magazine highlights how spectroscopy is playing a role in advancing space exploration.

A Nature study reports the discovery of diverse organic-mineral associations in the Máaz and Séítah formations within Jezero crater on Mars, as observed by the Perseverance rover's SHERLOC instrument. The Raman and fluorescence findings indicate the presence of aromatic organic molecules within Martian soils.

The study of exoplanets, or planets outside of our solar system, is becoming increasingly important in space exploration. Scientists are working to characterize these planets and Raman spectroscopy is playing a key role. Andrew Mattioda, a research scientist at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Ames Research Center, is on the front lines of this research.

Spectroscopy magazine is pleased to announce the launch of a new one-day content series titled, “Spectroscopy and Space Exploration,” which will take place this Thursday, July 20th, 2023.
