Scientists found a planet with iron rain

Scientists have discovered a newly formed planet with iron clouds that rain metallic particles. This finding marks a significant advancement in understanding planetary formation. The planet, named YSES-1, is only 16 million years old and located 307 light-years away. Observations from the James Webb Space Telescope revealed clouds composed of magnesium and iron dust, which can precipitate as rain. The discovery challenges existing theories about dust dissipation around young planets. Researchers also found a surrounding disk of material, adding to the mystery of the planet's formation.
