A new study warns that there may be a glaring error in the James Webb's calculations that could leave much of its data open to serious misinterpretation.
, there may be a glaring error in the models currently used by astronomers that could leave much of the scope's exoplanet data open to serious misinterpretation., astronomers at the storied Cambridge, Massachusetts institutions claim that the way scientists currently interpret the JWST's firehose of data may not be up to snuff — and it may even undermine their ability to tell whether a planet is habitable.
As de Wit notes, the model that scientists are currently using on Webb data, which he describes as "Rosetta Stone" language translation and which is also used on data from the Hubble Space Telescope, is "doing OK." To more accurately decrypt important data like the makeup of planets' atmospheres, however, there need to be some serious updates.
