The Pink Planet has surprised scientists with one of the strangest atmospheric discoveries beyond our solar system. Researchers using the James Webb Space Telescope have found evidence of salty clouds surrounding GJ504b, a distant planetary-mass companion located 57 light-years from Earth.
The discovery changes how astronomers understand cold giant worlds. For years, experts believed salt clouds could exist in certain temperature ranges. However, finding clear atmospheric signs was considered extremely difficult. The new observation has now provided a rare look into an unusual exoplanet environment.
