James Webb Space Telescope Uncovers Orderly Weather System on Distant Brown Dwarf SIMP 0136

Observations from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed a surprisingly orderly weather system on SIMP 0136, a brown dwarf located 20 light-years away. Researchers at Trinity College Dublin found that its turbulent atmosphere is governed by three recurring atmospheric states, driven by temperature changes and shifting clouds. This breakthrough provides a powerful new method for understanding atmospheric conditions on distant worlds.
