A team of international researchers including Dr. Jake Taylor from the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford, has used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to explore the exotic atmosphere of LTT 9779 b,

LTT 9779 b, an ultra-hot Neptune, is defying expectations. With temperatures soaring to nearly 2,000°C and a tidally locked orbit, one side faces eternal fire while the other remains in shadow. Yet, reflective clouds on its western hemisphere provide a surprising twist,

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers investigate the extreme weather patterns and atmospheric properties of exoplanet LTT 9779 b. New JWST observations with NIRISS reveal a dynamic atmosphere: powerful winds sweep around the planet,

The weather for Neptune today is sunny, with a chance of reflective clouds. Learn more about the uniquely blazing atmosphere of this ultra-hot exoplanet.
