A world 20 light-years away reveals surprisingly organized, Jupiter-like weather
Scientists from Trinity College Dublin have developed a way to unravel changing weather patterns on distant worlds.
AI Summary
Scientists at Trinity College Dublin created a method to decode weather changes on distant objects and applied it to the brown dwarf SIMP 0136. Their analysis shows the dwarf’s atmospheric variability is driven primarily by two factors: temperature fluctuations and alterations in the vertical cloud structure. This finding revises earlier interpretations that linked the object's weather to aurora-like phenomena.
