JWST maps the weather on a hot gas giant 700 light-years away

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists discovered dynamic weather patterns on WASP-94A b, a hot gas giant 690 light-years away, finding it has cloudy mornings and clear evenings. This discovery suggests previous atmospheric models of exoplanets may have been oversimplified by averaging atmospheric conditions rather than accounting for dynamic weather systems.
