James Webb Space Telescope images exoplanets!
Recommended for Exoplanets
James Webb Space Telescope images a planet outside of our solar system. Experts feel this is a “historic moment for astronomy.”
The images are of an extrasolar planet using infrared light. Infrared light provides a much more accurate indication of a planet’s mass and temperature. Thus it will enable astronomers to detect the movement of clouds drifting across the sky of this planet.
These images include infrared light, which is responsible for the majority of the light that is produced in the planet’s atmosphere. The most recent observations provide new insights into how Jupiter and Saturn may have appeared when they were still in their infancy.
Key Facts!
- The planet known as HIP 65426 b, is a gas giant.
- It is approximately five to ten times the mass of Jupiter.
- And it can be found in the constellation Centaurus 385 light-years away from Earth.
- It is approximately one hundred times further away from its host star which makes it simpler to distinguish.
- Experts feel that this event opens the door to a whole new class of planets that have been completely out of reach to mankind.
- And by observing them at a broad range of wavelengths, astronomers could study their compositions in a much more in-depth way. For example, we will have the ability to recognise the existence of weather.
- According to the most recent findings, the temperature of the planet’s atmosphere is somewhere around 1,300 degrees Celsius.
- It appears to have clouds of silicate dust with a reddish hue.
