A team of astronomers including Jeroen Bouwman and Paul Molliere from MPIA used #JWST to study the atmosphere of the strange exoplanet #WASP107b and detected water, sulfur dioxide, and sand clouds with #MIRI. These observations detected for the first time chemical footprints of silicate (sand) vapour forming high altitude clouds.

Ein europäisches Team von Astronom*innen, darunter Jeroen Bouwman und Paul Molliere vom MPIA, hat mit dem #JWST die Atmosphäre des merkwürdigen Exoplaneten #WASP107b untersucht. #MIRI entdeckte Wasser, Schwefeldioxid und Sandwolken. Bei diesen Beobachtungen wurden zum ersten Mal chemische Spuren von Silikat- (Sand-) Dampf entdeckt, der Wolken in großer Höhe bildet
