Astronomers using JWST have delivered the first weather report of SIMP-0136, a rogue brown dwarf about 20 light-years away. The study revealed stable silicate clouds, auroras heating the upper atmosphere, and possible giant storm systems. Findings mark a breakthrough in studying alien weather and pave the way for mapping exoplanet climates.Astronomers using JWST have delivered the first weather report of SIMP-0136, a rogue brown dwarf about 20 light-years away.
