That’s right. Instead of water, WASP-121b experiences storms of liquefied titanium that fall from metal clouds. These metallic downpours are formed in the turbulent lower atmosphere before being ...

The equatorial jet stream also contains titanium, a metal previously thought to be absent from WASP-121b's atmosphere but found to have been hiding in the planet's lower atmospheric layers.

where they condense and fall as liquid metal rains. Delving deep into the atmosphere of WASP-121 b and creating a 3D map of its atmosphere, researchers found different kinds of winds in different ...

WASP-121b’s bottom layer was characterised by the presence of iron – a metal in gaseous form because of the incredible heat of the atmosphere. Winds move gas from the planet’s eternal hot ...
