NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has made a remarkable discovery: a planet nearly 700 light-years away where clouds are made of rock — and they vanish every evening.

The planet, known as WASP-94A b, is what astronomers call a “Hot Jupiter” — a massive gas giant that orbits very close to its star, making it incredibly hot. Its dayside reaches temperatures above 1,000 degrees Celsius.

Using the Webb telescope, scientists studied what happens in the planet’s atmosphere.

Every morning, thick clouds made from a rocky mineral called magnesium silicate build up on the cooler side of the planet. But as those clouds drift into the scorching dayside, the intense heat causes them to simply dissolve. By evening, the skies on that side are completely clear.

On Earth, clouds are made of water droplets — but on this world, they are made from the same minerals that form rocks and sand here at home. The whole cycle repeats every day.

When you take your ipu pepa to be emptied, please leave your lid in your classroom.
