The Webb Telescope Just Spotted A Torrential Sandstorm on This Bizarre Planet
Meet VHS 1256 b, a planet that almost became a star, which takes 10,000 years to orbit its two stars.
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.

This illustration conceptualizes the swirling clouds in the atmosphere of exoplanet VHS 1256 b identified by the James Webb Space Telescope. The planet is about 40 light-years away and orbits two stars locked in their own tight orbit.
The James Webb Space Telescope is the next great space science observatory following Hubble, designed to answer outstanding questions about the Universe and to make breakthrough discoveries in all fields of astronomy.
