James Webb’s mid-infrared vision has likely captured a frigid, Saturn-mass planet shaping the dusty rings around the nearby ...

Zooming in on 78 disks in the Ophiuchus star-forming region, scientists saw hitherto undiscovered structures around young ...

The James Webb telescope has captured some seriously cool direct images of a planet beyond our solar system. This is the ...

F rom the very beginning, JWST was shown to be a revolutionary instrument for the study of exoplanets, detecting intriguing ...

CE Antilae, discovered in 1999, has long been a system of great interest to astronomers because it is seen "pole-on" from ...

Saturn has at least 146 moons, of which 63 are named—and thousands of moonlets are hiding inside its rings. Four of our planets have rings, but Saturn's are enormous and complex, in a class of ...

Webb has directly imaged a young gas giant planet roughly the size of Saturn, our solar system's second-largest planet ...

Webb has directly imaged a young gas giant planet roughly the size of Saturn, our solar system's second-largest planet, ...

A large, rotating protoplanetary disk of dust and gas surrounds the young star, which is 431 light-years away from us.

Now, the telescope adds a new feather to its cap: it has directly observed a brand new planet, its very first. The candidate exoplanet is called TWA 7b and orbits TWA 7, a star that is thought to ...

The findings underscore Webb's capability to explore low-mass planets around nearby stars, offering new insights into planet ...

Finding a Saturn-sized world around the young star TWA 7 could pave the way for the Webb space telescope’s direct observation of other exoplanets.
