  We report on the measurement of the 7.5-14.7 micron spectrum for the
transiting extrasolar giant planet HD 189733b using the Infrared Spectrograph
on the Spitzer Space Telescope. Though the observations comprise only 12 hours
of telescope time, the continuum is well measured and has a flux ranging from
0.6 mJy to 1.8 mJy over the wavelength range, or 0.49 +/- 0.02% of the flux of
the parent star. The variation in the measured fractional flux is very nearly
flat over the entire wavelength range and shows no indication of significant
absorption by water or methane, in contrast with the predictions of most
atmospheric models. Models with strong day/night differences appear to be
disfavored by the data, suggesting that heat redistribution to the night side
of the planet is highly efficient.
