Has any optical or radio telescope been able to capture images of the surface or atmosphere of an extra-solar planet?
How do these telescopes gather information about the atmospheres of exoplanets?
They gather information by studying the light that passes through the atmosphere of the exoplanet as it transits its host star. The light spectrum can reveal the chemical composition of the atmosphere and provide clues about whether it has the potential to support life.
