A little space telescope teamwork confirms clear skies and water vapor on this exoplanet 120 light-years from Earth. HAT-P-11b, an exoplanet about four times the size of Earth, is the smallest planet from which molecules of any kind have been detected! Congratulations to the University of Maryland-led research team and our space telescope partners in crime-- NASAs Spitzer Space Telescope , the Hubble Space Telescope and the ESA - European Space Agency!
