SUMMARY:Public Talk: New Worlds:  Analyzing the Atmospheres of Exoplan
 ets with the James Webb Space Telescope\, Astronomy Colloquium\, Jonat
 han Fortney\, University of California\, Santa Cruz
DESCRIPTION:Over 6000 planets have now been found around other stars\,
  but we only have information about what their atmospheres are like fo
 r a few dozen.  NASA's powerful James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)\, wh
 ich features a 20-foot mirror in space\, is currently being used to un
 derstand atmospheres.  We can look for atmospheres around rocky planet
 s the size of the Earth\, and we can measure the abundances of molecul
 es like water\, methane\, ammonia\, and carbon dioxide\, in larger pla
 nets\, of sizes similar to Neptune and Jupiter.  In this talk Professo
 r Fortney will describe the latest exoplanet results from JWST as we s
 eek to understand these new worlds.
