JWST captures its first direct images of carbon dioxide outside solar system

JWST Detects Carbon Dioxide Outside Solar System For First Time

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has achieved groundbreaking discoveries in the field of exoplanet studies.

'1,400 light-years away': NASA’s James Webb Telescope discovers mysterious free-floating objects in space

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has detected a population of free-floating brown dwarfs in the Flame Nebula, a star-forming region around 1,400 light-years from Earth. Some of these objects have masses as low as two to three times that of Jupiter.

Webb Directly Observers Giant Planets, Sensing Carbon Dioxide in their Atmospheres

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has achieved groundbreaking discoveries in the field of exoplanet studies. In particular, it has made strides in the analysis of their atmospheres by studying light from the parent star as it travels through the gas surrounding the planets. JWST has recently bucked the trend and observed a some gas giant planets in the system HR 8799 and detected the presence of carbon dioxide in their atmospheres, suggestin…

JWST Finds Its First Carbon Dioxide In Planets Outside The Solar System

These are young giant planets, so the carbon dioxide is definitely not coming from burping cows or a civilization burning fossil fuels, but it confirms theories of planetary formation.

Webb telescope captures its first direct images of carbon dioxide outside solar system

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured its first direct images of carbon dioxide in a planet outside the solar system in HR 8799, a multiplanet system 130 light-years away that has long been a key target for planet formation studies.

In a first, Webb telescope directly observes exoplanet CO2

Expert says discovery is "key piece of proof" far-off planets can form in a similar way to those in our celestial backyard.
