"Hubble Reveals Turbulent Weather with Massive Cyclones on Exoplanet WASP-121 b"
TL;DR
The European Space Agency (ESA) has captured images of "massive cyclones" on the exoplanet WASP-121 b, also known as Tylos, using a NASA/ESA telescope. The visuals were created by combining observations from 2016, 2018, and 2019, showcasing the dynamic atmosphere of this hot Jupiter, which has extreme temperatures over 3,000 Kelvins. The cyclones are thought to be caused by the temperature differences between the planet's dark side and its star-facing side.
