Tack vare Europeiska sydobservatoriets teleskop i Chile har astronomer gjort detaljerade observationer av den mytomspunna exoplaneten WASP-121 b. Upptäckterna av grundämnet titan och jetströmmar utmanar vår förståelse för vindar och kemi på ultraheta planeter. Sedan 1990-talet har drygt 5 800 exoplaneter, alltså planeter som kretsar kring andra stjärnor än vår sol, upptäckts. Ett av de mer extrema
