Incredible weather found on far-off planet

Astronomers used infrared sensors on NASA's Spitzer Space telescope to measure the temperature on the planet as it approached its star. They found that the planet heated up by 700 degrees in six hours, going from 525 C to 1,225 C as it moved closer.
Almost as quickly, the planet moves away from its star and cools rapidly, the researchers say.
