Scientists conducted the first study of the atmosphere of an exoplanet, WASP-121b, which is 900 light-years from Earth.
So I guess we now have long-range sensors ...

  “Out of science fiction”: First 3D observations of an exoplanet’s atmosphere reveal a unique climate
  
  from @ESO
  
  Astronomers have peered through the atmosphere of a planet beyond the Solar System, mapping its 3D structure for the first time. By combining all four telescope units of the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT), they found powerful winds carrying chemical elements like iron and titanium, creating intricate weather patterns across the planet’s atmosphere. The discovery opens the door for detailed studies of the chemical makeup and weather of other alien worlds.
