We know of 4,284 exoplanets in our galactic neighborhood. We can’t wait for @NASAWebb and @NASARoman to add even more! #GoodNeighborDayhttps://twitter.com/NASARoman/status/1310648713421881345 …

Could you explain what is 3D on that map? Thank you? Anyway, astonishing.
This map by Spitzer is not 3D, although it is the first exoplanet temperature map! Webb can use a technique called a phase curve to build a complete 3D model of a planet’s atmosphere. If you were looking for more info on the map shown, here's a link: https://go.nasa.gov/34jBktH

The phase curve technique involves observing planets that circle their stars so closely they are tidally locked, and as a result have phases, much like our Moon does. This feature explains further:https://go.nasa.gov/2v3pupB
