HD189733b is a hot Jupiter 64 light years away with clouds of hydrogen sulfide, the rotten egg molecule. It orbits so close to its star that surface temps hit 1700° Fahrenheit. At that heat, water and ammonia should have boiled off during formation. But here's what breaks the textbook, it still has sulfur. That means hot Jupiters don't form where we thought. They likely spawn farther out in freezing zones where sulfur compounds survive then migrate inward.
