The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has observed WASP-121 b, a "hot Jupiter" exoplanet experiencing extreme roasting by its home star. Data reveals an asymmetric weather pattern where the evening sky is hotter than the morning sky, reaching temperatures capable of tearing water apart.

Coverage from NASA Science, Nature, and Physics World emphasizes the use of rotational transits to reveal the planet's true atmosphere. Other reports from CNET, Space, and Yahoo focus on the planet's extreme heat, noting a temperature increase of 610°C as the planet approaches its star.

Future attention remains on the atmospheric asymmetries of WASP-121 b and the specific conditions that lead to the forecasted rain of sapphires and rubies.
