Astronomers said this month (September 15, 2026) they’ve found a way to decode weather on exoplanets. They used a new technique to look at a planetary-mass object called SIMP 0136. They found its weather is shaped primarily by changes in temperature and the vertical structure of its clouds. Exoplanets are worlds orbiting distant stars. A few decades ago, we hadn’t di
