James Webb Telescope Studies Rare Temperate Gas Giant TOI-199b Rare TOI-199b Planet Studied Astronomers have found new details about TOI-199b, a rare Jupiter-sized planet located more than 330 light-years away from Earth. The planet has drawn attention because its atmospheric temperature is estimated to be around 175 degrees Fahrenheit, making it significantly cooler than most giant exoplanets discovered near distant stars.

Recent satellite data have revealed that Earth’s nights are becoming increasingly brighter due to a sharp rise in artificial lighting across the globe. Scientists have found that this change is not uniform, with different regions showing varied trends based on development, energy access, and socio-political factors. A global study has shown that artificial lighting increased by around 16% between 2014 and 2022. The findings highlight that nighttime brightness does not simply grow
