NASA’s James Webb telescope captured its first direct image of a distant gas giant, revealing groundbreaking insights into planet formation beyond our solar

Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope may have directly imaged a Saturn-mass planet orbiting the young star TWA 7.

Webb usually observes exoplanets through indirect methods, such as transmission spectroscopy, a technique for studying a planet's atmosphere by analyzing how starlight filters through it. What distinguishes this observation of TWA 7b is that the telescope captured light from the planet itself.
