Astronomers have identified thousands of exoplanets among the stars, but very few have been directly imaged. We can add another to that exclusive list thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope. A team ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured images of a giant nearby planet, the surface of which is literally freezing. In a statement about the incredible snap, the Max Planck Institute for ...

How cold are exoplanets? This is what a recent study published in Nature hopes to address as a team of international scientists investigated Epsilon Indi Ab, which is located approximately 12 ...

The big picture: The James Webb Space Telescope has directly imaged Epsilon Indi Ab, an exoplanet about 12 light-years from Earth that orbits the star Epsilon Indi A. This gas giant is one of the ...

An international team of astronomers employing NASA’s Webb Space Telescope captured an exoplanet 12 light years away, and in a location that may be familiar to fans of science fiction. The alien ...

A case of cosmic mistaken identity led to astronomers finding a new exoplanet where an old one should have been. The world, Epsilon Indi Ab, now takes the place of a planet with the same designation ...

This image of the gas-giant exoplanet Epsilon Indi Ab was taken with the coronagraph on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument). A star symbol marks the location of the host ...

This illustration provided by the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in July 2024 depicts a cold gas giant orbiting a red dwarf. Scientists had long suspected a big planet orbited the star Epsilon ...
