TL;DR Summary

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has detected water vapor in the atmosphere of WASP-18 b, a massive exoplanet located hundreds of light-years away. Despite some parts of the planet reaching temperatures of up to 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit, the telescope identified "multiple small but precisely measured water features" in various locations. The discovery provides scientists with a unique opportunity to study and understand the formation of such exotic planets and draw inferences about their origin and evolution.
