Summary:
- NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured the first direct image of a planet outside our solar system, known as an exoplanet.
- The exoplanet, called HIP 65426 b, is a gas giant planet that is about six to 12 times the mass of Jupiter and orbits its host star at a distance of about 100 times the distance between Earth and the Sun.
- This discovery provides valuable insights into how planets form and evolve, and it demonstrates the incredible capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope in studying exoplanets and the universe beyond our solar system.
