We have detected water vapour in the  hot Jupiter HD  209458 b in the near-IR.
Our significant H2O signal at 0.96–1.06 μm in HD 209458 b represents the first detection of H2O from this band individually.
- NIR H2O detection in HD 209458b with CARMENES

Our results suggest that the middle atmosphere circulation on Titan extends well above the 500 km level, up to 750–800 km or even higher if we assume that the CH4 concentration above 800 km is mainly controlled by the circulation (Dinelli, López-Puertas et al., 2019).

The ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter’s main science mission began at the end of April 2018, just a couple of months before the start of the global dust storm that engulfed the planet. TGO followed the onset and development of the storm and monitored how the increase in dust affected the water vapour in the atmosphere. https://rdcu.be/bvP1d
