James Webb Discovers First-Ever Exoplanet by Taking a Picture of It
World's First Scientists harnessing NASA's James Webb Space Telescope took what appears to be the first-ever direct picture of an exoplanet resulting in its discovery, in yet another accomplishment for the mighty space observatory. An international team of astronomers published a paper on the historic finding in the prestigious journal Nature. "If confirmed, this would represent Webb’s first direct image discovery of a planet," they wrote of the…
NASA disseminated a spectacular composite image that reveals a detail never before seen in the remains of the Cassiopea A supernova (Cas A): a complex structure nicknamed the “Green Monster”.This image, available as a desktop background, marks a milestone by combining for the first time observations of the James Webb space telescope with data from the Chandra X-ray observatory and Hubble.What does the image show?The visualization mixes infrared,…
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has discovered an exoplanet for the first time, proving that it can detect lighter, more elusive planets orbiting distant stars.
The James Webb Space Telescope discovered the exoplanet TWA 7 b • We can see the exoplanet directly • The mass of TWA 7 b is similar to that of Saturn • It is the lightest exoplanet found using direct imaging
JWST Catch: Directly Imaged Planet Candidate
We have so few exoplanets that can actually be seen rather than inferred through other data that the recent news concerning the star TWA 7 resonates. The James Webb Space Telescope provided the data on a gap in one of the rings found around this star, with the debris disk itself imaged by the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope as per the image below. The putative planet is the size of Saturn, but that would make it the planet w…
