NASA’S James Webb Space Telescope has captured its first direct image of an exoplanet
SMRTR summary
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has directly imaged an exoplanet for the first time. The planet, TWA 7 b, is about the mass of Saturn and located 100 light years from Earth. Using a special attachment to mimic a solar eclipse, researchers captured images of the planet, which appears as a bright light source with a debris ring. This breakthrough allows scientists to observe smaller exoplanets that were previously undetectable due to star light interference.
