Water clouds detected beyond our solar system for first time

Original: Discovery marks the first detection of variable water clouds outside of our solar system

Astronomers have made the first detection of variable water clouds outside our solar system, according to the University of Arizona. The finding shows that cloud cover on a world beyond the solar system changes over time, an observation previously possible only for planets in our own system. Researchers say it offers a new way to study atmospheres and weather on distant worlds.

Why now: A landmark first in astronomy that shows weather-like clouds can be observed on worlds outside the solar system.
