Here are today’s most important updates from the realm of Science and Space. Metallic Skies & Blazing Winds: Inside the Wild Atmosphere of an Ultra-Hot Neptune James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observed the atmosphere of a strange exoplanet, LTT 9779 b and found stunning details about its extreme weather patterns. The observations revealed that this rare exoplanet orbits its G-type star, LTT 9779, in less than a day (probably 19 hours), and it is tidally locked (just like Earth's Moon), which means that one side always faces its star while the other remains in darkness. With temperatures reaching almost 2,000 degrees Celsius on its dayside, LTT 9779 is one of the few known planets in the "hot Neptune desert", where Neptunian planets aren't found that often. The exoplanet's dayside hosts reflective clouds on its cooler western hemisphere as it manages to create a striking contrast to the hotter eastern side. ...
