NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) continues to marvel us with its brilliance, as an international team of researchers led by the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) have used JWST to examine the atmosphere of exoplanet VHS 1256 b, located approximately 40 light-years from Earth, and discovered one of the most diverse exoplanetary atmospheres to date. One of the most remarkable aspects of this study was the brief observational period scientists used to examine the VHS 1256 b.Artist illustration of VHS 1256 b, located approximately 40 light-years from Earth, and its siwrling clouds.
