Astronomers discover high-altitude clouds darkening skies in the YSES-1 system
Astronomers have observed thick, mineral-rich clouds, potentially containing iron, enveloping the young exoplanet YSES-1b, leading to the possibility of iron rain. The YSES-1 system, only a million years old, features two gas giants, offering a unique opportunity to study planet formation. Researchers are intrigued by the persistent dust disk around YSES-1b, challenging existing planet formation theories.
