It was able to make precise brightness measurements over a broad spectrum of mid-infrared light and then combined that data with 3D climate models and previous observations from other telescopes.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-177869\"\/><br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.techeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/01100616\/james-webb-space-telescope-weather-gas-giant-wasp-43-b-1.jpg\" alt=\"James Webb Space Telescope Weather Gas Giant Wasp 43 b\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1207\"\/><br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.techeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/01100625\/james-webb-space-telescope-weather-gas-giant-wasp-43-b-2.jpg\" alt=\"James Webb Space Telescope Weather Gas Giant Wasp 43 b\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1310\"\/><br \/>What astronomers discovered was the presence of thick, high clouds covering the nightside, clear skies on the dayside, and equatorial winds upwards of 5,000 miles per hour mixing atmospheric gases around the planet. WASP-43 b is classified as a \u201chot Jupiter\u201d type of exoplanet, or similar in size to Jupiter, made primarily of hydrogen and helium. Due to its tight orbit, the planet is tidally locked, meaning one side is continuously illuminated and the other in permanent darkness. The dayside was measured to have an average temperature of nearly 2,300 degrees Fahrenheit, while the nightside is significantly cooler at 1,100 degrees Fahrenheit.<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe title=\"Time-lapse video of WASP-43b over one planet rotation\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/X7hoJbu8AFA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"Time-lapse video of WASP-43b over one planet rotation\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/X7hoJbu8AFA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>With Hubble, we could clearly see that there is water vapor on the dayside.
