Scientists studied a planet called KELT-20 b, which is a super-hot Jupiter, to learn about its atmosphere. They looked at the planet's light to find out what it is made of and how hot it is on the day side. They found that the planet's evening side is hotter than the morning side and that the planet has different amounts of elements like iron, nickel, and calcium in different parts, but these amounts stay quite steady.
