Webb Telescope Unveils Harsh Weather on Nearby Brown Dwarfs
Recent observations by the James Webb Space Telescope have revealed extreme weather conditions on two brown dwarfs located about six light-years from Earth. These celestial bodies exhibit blazing temperatures and a toxic atmospheric mix, including swirling silicate clouds reminiscent of Saharan dust storms.

The latest findings from the James Webb Space Telescope have unveiled severe weather conditions on a pair of brown dwarfs, celestial bodies larger than planets but smaller than stars. These two brown dwarfs are found approximately six light-years from Earth, a stone's throw away in cosmic terms.
According to Webb's observations, the atmospheric conditions on these brown dwarfs are extraordinarily harsh. They are marked by extremely high temperatures and a noxious chemical mix swirling in their atmospheres.
Furthermore, the telescope identified clouds of silicate particles blowing violently, evocative of Saharan dust storms here on Earth. These findings provide a new understanding of the exotic and extreme nature of weather on these nearby cosmic bodies.
