The Hubble Space Telescope has unveiled the tumultuous weather on a distant exoplanet known as WASP-121 b. Located a staggering 850 light-years away in
the Puppis constellation, this "Hot Jupiter" orbits its host star with an intensity surpassing our own Sun. NASA revealed the findings on Friday, showcasing the extreme conditions on this hellish exoplanet.

Unlike our familiar Jupiter, WASP-121 b braves scorching temperatures exceeding 1,800 degrees Celsius in its upper atmosphere, making it a
true "Hot Jupiter." To provide perspective, this surpasses the heat of blast furnaces used for iron smelting, which typically operate between 1,400 and 1,500 degrees Celsius.
The Hubble Space Telescope's data offers a captivating glimpse into the chaotic and fierce weather patterns that define the atmosphere of WASP-121 b.
As we explore the distant corners of our universe, the revelations from this faraway exoplanet remind us of the astonishing diversity and extremes that exist beyond our celestial neighborhood."**
