JWST captures stunning images of one of the lightest known exoplanets
Astronomers discovered Beta Pictoris d, a gas giant about 2.4 times Jupiter’s mass, after spotting it in VLT data and tracing it through 11 years of archived observations. The planet is roughly 100 times fainter than Beta Pictoris b, making it one of the lightest and faintest exoplanets ever directly imaged from the ground. Its mass and orbit may explain features in the system’s debris disc, while the discovery shows that other hidden planets co…
A gigantic celestial body escaped its discovery for over a decade, although the corresponding recordings existed long ago in the archives. Only significantly improved analysis methods finally brought him to light. read more on t3n.de
Astronomers have announced the discovery of the planet Beta Pictoris d, a gas giant orbiting the Beta Pictoris star system, located approximately 63 light-years from Earth. The discovery was made after more than a decade of observations, revealing a celestial body that proved to be fainter than the known planets in the system. Location and characteristics of the Beta Pictoris system The Beta Pictoris system is located in the constellation Pictor…
