The planet is about 40 light-years away and orbits two stars that are locked in their own tight rotation. Its clouds are constantly rising, mixing, and moving during its 22-hour day. Plus, they're filled with silicate dust. Some clouds contain silicate grains as tiny as smoke particles. Other contain slightly larger flecks that are similar to small grains of sand.
