A planet without methane

Recently, scientists found a planet that had no methane. This is very unusual for planets in our atmosphere. The NASA Spitzer Space Telescope discovered the planet. The planet is about the size of Neptune, so it's pretty small. Many other planets are still yet to be discovered. Hopefully, we will discover them someday.


I think this is pretty cool. Maybe if there's one planet like this, there could be more. If we keep searching, I bet we could find some other weird planets and moons like this one. This is a pretty cool find in my opinion. There might be different life forms on planets like this as well.
