I'm not going to look at the temperatures and escape velocities of gasses. just that helium atmosphere and carbon atmosphere are on the polar opposite of atmospheres. maybe there's something exotic going on (not magic), like a cold (ish, it's a heavy planet, I mean not extrememly hot) helium atmosphere with a ring of carbon dust affecting the spectrometry.

I'm not doubting the discovery. I'm assuming it's spectrography and it is true, it's just crazy how insane the universe is. whenever I assume nothing new will surprise me, we find out something new.
