First Evidence for Water Ice Clouds Found outside Solar System (VIDEO)
Caption
A team of scientists led by Carnegie's Jacqueline Faherty has discovered the first evidence of water ice clouds on an object outside of our own solar system. Water ice clouds exist on our own gas giant planets -- Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune -- but have not been seen outside of the planets orbiting our sun until now. Their findings are published by The Astrophysical Journal Letters.
