Push two metal plates together on Earth and nothing happens. Take those same plates into the vacuum of space and they can fuse into a single piece of metal. |

A giant world orbiting a distant sun-like star has given astronomers an unexpected glimpse into the weather systems of some of the coldest known exoplanets. Using observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), researchers have identified evidence of salt-rich clouds in the atmosphere of GJ 504 b, a massive gas giant often referred to as the Pink Planet because of its distinctive rosy appearance.The discovery adds a new layer to scientists' understanding of planetary atmospheres beyond the Solar System. |

In space, planets are supposed to orbit their stars in roughly the same direction that the star itself spins. It is a rule that comes naturally from the way solar systems are born from giant spinning clouds of gas and dust that collapse inward, with everything rotating together in one shared direction. |
