Scientists have used Chandra to make a detailed study of an enormous cloud of hot gas enveloping two large, colliding galaxies. This unusually large reservoir of gas contains as much mass as 10 ...

Scientists have discovered a planet where rock clouds form in the day and vanish by night. WASP-94A b is a distant Hot Jupiter which was spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope. The weather shifts ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a team of astronomers, including scientists from MPIA, constructed a global temperature map of the hot, gas giant exoplanet WASP-43b. The nearby parent ...

A faraway gas giant planet that's famous for being strangely "puffy" appears to have clouds that are made of tiny bits of sand. The sand likely acts as water does on Earth, falling like rain towards ...

Giant planets in our solar system and circling other stars have exotic clouds unlike anything on Earth, and the gas giants orbiting close to their stars — so-called hot Jupiters — boast the most ...

For several years now, we’ve been following a tantalizing story indicating that the high heat of the ash cloud generated when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD was sufficiently hot to turn one of the ...

WASP-94A b, a hot Jupiter nearly 700 light-years away, builds mineral cloud cover each morning and loses it by evening. This gives astronomers a rare clear view of its atmosphere and shows how cloud ...
