Kepler-7b (left), which is 1.5 times the size of Jupiter (right), is the first exoplanet to have its clouds mapped. The hot planet zips around its host star in just under 5 days. Despite its large size, it’s only half as massive as Jupiter, making it one of the “fluffiest” planets known. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MIT

scientists were puzzled why Kepler-7b wasn’t even hotter given how close it is to its sun. Isn't obvious? No humans.
