NASA’S James Webb Space Telescope has captured its first direct image of an exoplanet
The James Webb telescope has captured some seriously cool direct images of a planet beyond our solar system. This is the telescope's first exoplanet discovery.
NASA’S James Webb Space Telescope has captured direct images of a planet outside of our solar system, which is the first time it has accomplished such a feat. This is a very big deal because exoplanets don't put out much light, so researchers typically discover new planets through indirect methods like keeping track of shadows as they pass across a host star. Lagrange and her team do note that there's still a "very small chance" the images show a background galaxy, but the evidence "strongly points" to the source being a previously undiscovered planet.
