A rare #planet we discovered a few years back has now given us more insights into the nature of hot #Neptunes. We turned the eye of @ESA_CHEOPS to #LTT9779b, #Cuancoa, and found a world likely covered with metallic clouds, possibly hosting titanium rain!!

Our discovery of arguably the galaxy’s rarest known planet #LTT9779b, has led to us being able to help rename the system.
In honour of the indigenous #U’wa people of the North Eastern Andes of #Colombia, the star #Uúba in Sculptor is orbited by the majestic #Cuancoá!! #nameexoworlds
