Recently, scientists have discovered gas giants that have water in their atmospheres, but this is the least giant planet ever to have water detected in its atmosphere． "The water detection was quite clear to us relatively early on, "lead author Bjorn Benneke, a professor at the Institute for Rearch on Exoplanets at the Universite de Montreal, told Space．com

in an interview．
"Studies have suggested that planets with hydrogen-rich atmospheres could host certain forms of life．" Benneke said． However, "K2-18b's large atmosphere is extremely thick and creates high-pressure conditions, which likely prevents life as we know it from existing on the planet's surface．" a news relea reads． While the rearchers found evidence for liquid water clouds on K2-18b, becau of its lack of surface, rain wouldn't pool on the planet． Without a real surface, so to speak, landing on the planet would also be nearly impossible to land on, especially becau the gas is so thick and has such an incredibly high pressure that any Earth-created spacecraft nt there would be destroyed．

Benneke suggests that, possibly, this planet formed by rock absorbing large amounts of gas, "like a vacuum cleaner, "he said． The gas absorbed would have more than doubled the planet and incread its volume eightfold．
To come to the conclusions, the rearch team analyzed data from Hubble Space Tele
scope obrvations that they made between 2019 and 2020 of the K2-18b planet passing in front of its star eight times． This type of rearch, Benneke said, is leading toward a final goal of "being able to study real, true earth-like planets"． "We are not quite there yet, "he said，"but this is really exciting．"

The first model of Apple's iPhone was launched in June 2007． Since then, many different smartphones have been introduced． The devices now influence our daily lives in many ways． One thing that has changed is that many people now u their phones to easily take pictures without the need for a camera． Not surprisingly, this change has caud major business problems for camera manufacturers．
Of cour, the camera built into the first iPhone 15 years ago did not include a high-quality camera able to compete with parate camera models． But over the years, smartphone makers have invested heavily in rearch and development to change that． Today, many smartphones have high-quality cameras designed to produce better pictures

Japan's Camera & Tmaging Products Association (CIPA) said the digital camera market continually expanded starting in 1999． It experienced its first decrea in 2009—and continued to fall thereafter． The biggest change appeared from 2010 to 2020, when worldwide camera shipments fell about 93 percent, CIPA reported． The decreas were mainly caud by drops in shipments of digital cameras that have built-in lens．
However, camera makers have had more success lling digital cameras with interchangeable lens． This is becau the cameras are generally targeted at professional photographers who demand higher quality． Such cameras can produce "high image quality that distinguishes them from smartphones," CIPA said．
But this does not mean that professional photographers never u smartphones to capture pictures． Brynn Anderson is bad with the AP in Atlanta, Georgia． She said: "Sometimes being a photographer with a larger camera can be intimidating to the person
being photographed． Using a phone makes it easier for me to get comfortable moments that might not happen otherwi．" Rodrigo Abd, an AP photographer in Buenos Aires, Argentina says using the iPhone makes it easier for him "to always be attentive" to everyday events when not covering a news story． Oded Balilty is bad in Tel Aviv, Israel． "It is definitely an alternative tool," he said of the iPhone． But he added: "It's the photographer not the device, that determines the quality of a photo．"
