韋伯望遠鏡在遙遠行星上發現意料之外的雲層
Webb Telescope Finds Unexpected Clouds on Distant Planet
詹姆斯·韋伯太空望遠鏡（JWST）正在揭示太陽系外行星上奇特且多樣的氣象系統。
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is unveiling the strange and diverse weather systems on planets beyond our solar system.
近期的觀測揭露了「意料之外的雲層」，這些雲層正在改寫我們對行星大氣層的認知。
Recent observations have revealed "unexpected clouds" that are rewriting what we know about planetary atmospheres.
在「超級木星」波江座εAb（ㄅㄛ ㄐㄧㄤ ㄗㄨㄛˋ ㄞ ㄙㄧㄌㄛㄣ ˋ A ㄅㄧ）上，研究人員發現了類似地球高空卷雲的水冰雲，這些雲層似乎掩蓋了氨氣。
At the "super-Jupiter" Epsilon Indi Ab, researchers discovered water-ice clouds similar to high-altitude cirrus clouds on Earth, which appear to be masking ammonia gas.
與此同時，「蓬鬆」的行星WASP-107b則呈現出一種更為奇特的現象：由矽酸鹽沙粒組成的雲。
Meanwhile, the "fluffy" planet WASP-107b displays an even more exotic phenomenon: clouds made of silicate sand grains.
藉由該望遠鏡的MIRI儀器，天文學家現在能比以往更深入地觀測這些遙遠的世界。
By using the telescope's MIRI instrument, astronomers can now peer deeper into these distant worlds than ever before.
這些發現證實了地外天氣遠比科學家先前想像的更為複雜。
These findings prove that extraterrestrial weather is far more complex than scientists previously imagined.
隨著JWST持續執行任務，它挑戰了我們既有的大氣模型，並為遙遠行星的形成與運作提供了更清晰、更動態的圖像。
As the JWST continues its mission, it challenges our existing atmospheric models and provides a clearer, more dynamic picture of how distant planets form and function.
從水冰到矽酸鹽沙粒，太空中的「天氣」證明了其既迷人又難以預測的特性。
From water-ice to silicate sand, the "weather" in space is proving to be as fascinating as it is unpredictable.
