NASA's James Webb space telescope has made groundbreaking observations of an exoplanet called Wasp-107b, located 200 light years away, revealing a planet where it rains silicate sand. The planet, nicknamed the "candy floss" planet, features scorching temperatures, raging winds, and the smell of burnt matches due to the presence of sulphur dioxide. The latest observations also identified water vapor and silicate sand clouds in the planet's atmosphere. Wasp-107b, similar in mass to Neptune but the size of Jupiter, provides valuable insights into the atmospheres of distant planets and expands our understanding of the potential diversity of life beyond Earth.
