James Webb telescope discovers dust storms on massive exoplanets.

TL;DR Summary
The James Webb Space Telescope has detected a dust storm on a gas giant planet, VHS 1256 b, orbiting two stars 40 light-years away. The planet is up to 20 times the size of Jupiter and has an atmosphere containing water, methane, and carbon dioxide. The storm is made up of tiny silicate particles and is incredibly hot, with temperatures reaching 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit. The planet is relatively young and will cool as it ages, potentially clearing up its turbulent atmosphere.
