Beta Pictoris b, discovered in 2008 by ESO’s VLT, is a gas giant ~1.8 times Jupiter’s size orbiting a young A-type star every 23 years. One of the first directly imaged exoplanets, it’s hot (3,000°F/1,600°C) from formation, with a debris disk around the system.
JWST studied its silicate clouds in 2023—first exoplanet with confirmed sand clouds.
