"Our observations indicate the presence of probably
fuelled by a hot spot in the atmosphere."
Exoplanets can be
odd, on a planet called WASP-76b it rains iron strong winds. It has a
temperature of 2,400 degree or 4,350 degrees Fahrenheit so it can pummel the
planet's surface.
It is a hot Jupiter type of exoplanet. The high temperature stems from the planets is so
close to its star.
It seems that Earth is a very special place.
