Steamy Planets, Crystal Clouds, and the Seeds of Life

Since the first discovery of extrasolar planets in the 1990s, we have learned that the eight worlds of our solar system are just a few drops in a vast ocean of thousands of planets.

With over a year of James Webb Space Telescope observations, we now know more than ever before about what makes these planets tick.
