A newly studied exoplanet, described as a "super-jupiter", has been found to have a markedly different atmosphere than our own gas giant. The planet, which is significantly larger than jupiter, has been observed to have ice clouds, and its orbit around its star is notably long. The discovery of this exoplanet's unique characteristics has been made possible by the use of a space telescope, although reports vary on the specifics of the planet's size and potential for life.
