Astronomers are just beginning to unpack the treasure trove of information that the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has siphoned from a nearby world that orbits two stars.So far, they've already learned that the clouds of this world rain sand.These particles are very hot; a description of the new research from JWST's managerial base at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Maryland says that the high atmosphere of exoplanet VHS 1256 b is a place where "temperatures reach a scorching 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit (830 degrees Celsius)."
