Check out this awesome work from the JWST-TST DREAMS team! Using a combination of @NASAHubble and @NASAWebb MIRI data, we made the first characterisation of a cloud species in a transiting exoplanet atmosphere: quartz clouds in the atmosphere of WASP-17b! 💨☁️🪐✨(1/3) webbtelescope.org/contents/new...

Excited to share the 1st direct evidence of quartz clouds in the atmosphere of a transiting #exoplanet! With #JWST MIRI we found nanoparticles of quartz, SiO2, causing a spike in the planet's spectrum at 8.6 micron unveiling the Oxygen locked in the clouds doi.org/10.3847/2041...
