WASHINGTON - The first "sniffs of air"
of two huge far-away planets reveal that they
seem to be missing water, a surprising finding
amid weather unlike any planets in our solar system
with blast furnace-like gusts amid supersonic
winds.

The absence of water from the atmosphere of both
these Jupiter-sized gaseous bodies upsets one
of the most basic assumptions of astronomy. One
of the researchers, Harvard University astronomy
professor David Charbonneau, called the planets
"very different beasts ... unlike any other
planets in the solar system."
