First-ever detection of shifting water clouds beyond our solar system

Original: Discovery marks the first detection of variable water clouds outside of our solar system

Astronomers at the University of Arizona report the first detection of variable water clouds on a world outside our solar system. The observation shows cloud cover changing over time on an exoplanet, something previously only seen on planets orbiting our Sun. Researchers say it offers a rare glimpse into weather on distant worlds and could help refine models of exoplanet atmospheres.

Why now: A University of Arizona team just announced the first detection of changing water clouds on an exoplanet, a milestone in exoplanet weather research.
