JWST uncovers rare ultra-hot Neptune LTT 9779 b's exotic atmosphere

88% Informative
LTT 9779 b resides in the so-called hot Neptune desert, a category of planets where exceptionally few are known to exist.
The planet's dayside hosts reflective clouds on its cooler western hemisphere, creating contrast to the hotter eastern side.
The team proposed that the uneven distribution of heat and clouds is driven by powerful winds that transport heat around the planet.
