WASP-76b, an ultra-hot Jupiter exoplanet about 640 light-years away. On the day side, temperatures soar past 2,400°C (4,350°F) - hot enough to vaporize iron into gas. WASP-76b is also tidally locked. The hot side vaporizes iron, and violent winds whip that iron vapor to the cooler night side, where it condenses into liquid metal droplets and falls as molten iron rain.

#Astronomers have mapped the 3D structure of the layered atmosphere of one such ultra-hot #Jupiter-size exoplanet, revealing powerful winds that create intricate #weather patterns across that atmosphere.
"This planet’s atmosphere behaves in ways that challenge our understanding of how weather works."
#Astronomy and #Astrophysics reported on unexpected identification of #titanium in the exoplanet's atmosphere as well.
