Spitzer and Kepler space telescopes of NASA have proved a great help to astronomers during creation of a planet's first ever cloud map.

This planet dubbed Kepler-7b is clear of the solar system of Earth. It is, reportedly, a blistering world akin to Jupiter. It is being said that the clear skies in the east and high clouds in the west mark the planet.

Kepler-7b has come out to be the first exoplanet, which has got its clouds mapped. The report said that oceans and continents are probably not expected to be seen on the newly-discovered planet. But, the researchers were actually able to determine a reflective signature, which were construed by them as clouds.

Spitzer has not assisted astronomers for the first time. Earlier, temperature maps of star-orbiting planets could be reached. However, cloud structures have been highlighted for the first time on a distant world.

On the other hand, more than 150 exoplanets have been discovered by Kepler till date.

The study has appeared in the Astrophysical Journal Letters.

"By observing this planet with Spitzer and Kepler for more than three years, we were able to produce a very low-resolution `map' of this giant, gaseous planet", said Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Brice-Olivier Demory.
