An international team of scientists has determined that the fluctuating brightness of SIMP 0136, a free-floating planetary-mass object, results from a complex interplay of atmospheric factors rather than cloud cover alone. Using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, researchers observed a broad infrared spectrum from SIMP 0136 over two full rotations. This analysis revealed dynamic cloud laye
