An exoplanetary system that is situated at a distance of 20 light-years from our planet has allowed astronomers to analyse the weather of an astronomical object which is neither a planet nor a star.
Based on the research conducted by the astronomers of Trinity College Dublin using data collected by the James Webb Space Telescope of NASA, the variations in the appearance of brown dwarf SIMP 0136 are caused primarily by two processes in its atmosphere: the changes in temperature and vertical structure of clouds.
