And what happens to a transmission spectrum when you have clouds in your #exoplanet? In a clear atmosphere, the light filters through and gets to us carrying nice strong spectral lines... but with clouds, the light is more likely to get scattered, and quenched, and we lose A LOT of information 🧪 📹 ⬇️
