The exhibition Yayoi Kusama: 1945 – Today, held at the Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art, highlights the profound and multifaceted impact of the Japanese artist on contemporary society.

Observations from Webb’s NIRCam and MIRI suggest that the planet may be surrounded by an atmosphere rich in carbon dioxide (CO2) or carbon monoxide (CO). Researchers think the gases that make up the atmosphere could have bubbled out of an ocean of magma that is thought to cover the planet’s surface.
