In addition, the researchers noticed hot spots where the planet\u2019s infrared light was particularly bright. They believe that these may be caused by auroras, the existence of which has already been confirmed by radio wave observations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">However, it is difficult to explain all the changes in infrared brightness just by cloud and temperature variations. For this reason, the research team points out that there may be areas in SIMP 0136\u2019s atmosphere where carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide are concentrated, and that these areas may also affect the infrared brightness as the planet rotates.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\"><em>This story originally appeared on<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/wired.jp\/article\/simp-0136-free-floating-planetary-mass-object\/\">WIRED <em>Japan<\/em><\/a> <em>and has been translated from Japanese.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The unevenness of the state of each cloud layer is thought to be the reason why the brightness of SIMP 0136 changes as it rotates.
