Jupiter-like planet with 'glass rain' smells like rotten eggs, James Webb Telescope discovers
In fact, its orbit is 13 times nearer to its host star than our innermost planet Mercury is to the sun, leaving the temperature on the side of the planet facing the star at about 1,700 degrees Fahrenheit (930 degrees Celsius).

Empire of the Sun: The need for an interstellar probe to understand the heliosphere
While Voyager 1 and 2 have crossed the heliopause, they were planetary probes. That’s where a potential interstellar probe mission could come in. A probe designed to fly beyond the heliopause would help scientists understand the heliosphere by observing it from the outside.
