  Los Angeles CA (SPX) Mar 04, 2025 An international team of scientists has determined that the fluctuating brightness of SIMP 0136, a free-floating planetary-mass object, results from a complex interplay of atmospheric factors rather than cloud cover alone. Using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, researchers observed a broad infrared spectrum from SIMP 0136 over two full rotations. This analysis revealed dynamic cloud layers, fluctuating temperatures, and changing carbon chemistry, previously undetectable. These findings off ... read more |
