In 2018, NASA plans on launching the James Webb Space Telescope to futher measure the chemical fingerprints of these exoplanets.

Vox looks at the Science and Entertainment Exchange, a consulting service that connects writers and scientists with the goal of sprinkling our science fiction with a little more science fact.
