Hot Jupiter News Today

The JWST has mapped a distant exoplanet's weather. It's a blistering hot world where 5000 mph winds whip around the planet constantly.

The JWST has performed a weather report for a distant hot Jupiter exoplanet, finding winds three times as fast as a jet fighter, clouds made of rock and temperatures hot enough to melt lead.

The CHEOPS mission has seen tantalizing hints of the rainbow-like glory effect over WASP-76b, an extreme world where iron rains heavily on one side of the planet.

Among the approximately 5,500 exoplanets discovered to date, Hot Jupiter-type planets are abundantly observed and...

This Super-Earth has something to tell us about the exoplanet population, but we need the JWST to reveal what that is.

Astronomers have spotted a mysterious exoplanet that orbits its star some 160 light-years away — which has a 350,000-mile-long tail made out of helium gas. The planet dubbed WASP-69B is quite a bit less dense than Jupiter and orbits its star every 3.9 Earth days. Thanks to its close proximity, its surface heats up […]

This hot Jupiter is losing its atmosphere. Its star is stripping it away, forming a long tail of hydrogen and helium 560,000 kilometres long.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has detected a display of stormy weather on a "hot Jupiter."

Data from the Hubble Space Telescope revealed the incredibly chaotic weather on a distant hellish exoplanet where iron can be found in the form of a gas.

Since the landmark discovery in 1992 of two planets orbiting a star outside of our Solar System, thousands of new worlds have been added to a rapidly growing list of 'exoplanets' in the Milky Way galaxy.  We've learnt many things from this vast catalogue...
