NASA's Webb Reveals Orderly Weather on Distant Brown Dwarf SIMP 0136
Observations from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have uncovered a surprisingly organized weather system on SIMP 0136, a brown dwarf 20 light-years away. Researchers found three recurring atmospheric states driven by temperature changes and shifting clouds, offering a new method to understand weather patterns on distant worlds. The findings are published in Astronomy & Astrophysics.
