New JWST/MIRI phase curves of TRAPPIST-1 b and c.
We directly constrain both dayside and nightside emission of temperate Earth-sized planets for the first time.
The strong day–night contrast rules out thick atmospheres.

First Thermal Mapping of Temperate Earth-sized Exoplanets
The James Webb Space Telescope has, for the first time, mapped the temperature distribution of the temperate, Earth-sized rocky exoplanets TRAPPIST-1 b and c, showing that they are likely devoid of th...
