ScienceDaily reports: NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has revealed that a turbulent world 20 light-years away has a surprisingly orderly weather system, with three recurring atmospheric states driven by temperature changes and shifting clouds.
The breakthrough gives scientists a powerful new tool for uncovering weather patterns on distant worlds and understanding the conditions that shape their atmospheres.
This science story centres on the United States. Names and organisations mentioned in the coverage include NASA’s Webb, NASA’s James Webb Space and Telescope.
