Noting the weather patterns of a brown dwarf


Hubble space telescopes and NASA's Spitzer investigated the stormy atmosphere of a brown dwarf called 2MASSJ22282889-431 026, creating the "climate map" far closer to this kind of cold orbs similar to stars. The forecast shows clouds planet-sized wind-driven involving these strange worlds.

Brown dwarfs are formed from the condensation of gas, as do the stars,but lack the necessary amount of mass to fuse atoms and energy.

Venus, ionosphere swells in its night side like comet


The ESA’s some unique observations of Venus through a period of low solar wind pressure, discovering that the planet's ionosphere swells in its night side, like the tail of a Comet.

The ionosphere is a weekly electrically charged gaseous region far above the main body of the planet's Atmosphere. The form and are partially controlled by the internal magnetic field of the planet.
