On Earth, clouds and rain are made of water. But the James Webb Space Telescope has found that on a planet called WASP-107b, the rain and clouds are made of sand.

If there’s a planet in this cloud, it’d almost definitely be an ice giant. When large planets like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, or Neptune form, they’re born as twins.

By all accounts, astronomers believed the planet should be too hot to even have clouds. That’s because it was estimated to have a surface temperature of roughly 2,000 degrees Celsius.

In new exoplanet research, astronomers suspect the planet WASP-121 b, 855 light-years away, harbors metallic clouds and raining gems.

A planet five times the size of Earth was found to be the shiniest planet outside our solar system. Its mirror-like layer of clouds is laced with scorching titanium that rains down on its surface.

Dr. Nasedkin said, "When we looked at the smaller, farther-out companion, known as YSES 1-c, we found the tell-tale signature of silicate clouds in the mid-infrared.
