How light is light? The James Webb Space Telescope has just been able to directly image a planet so light and faint that, in ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has made it possible to better characterize known exoplanets since it was commissioned ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) provided the first direct image of a planet with a mass similar to Saturn's, ...

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

An initial analysis suggests the object could be a young, cold planet with a temperature near 120 degrees Fahrenheit, NASA ...

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.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers from Johns Hopkins University (JHU) and elsewhere have detected water ice in a debris disk around HD 181327—a young star located within ...

Astronomers have imaged the debris disk of the nearby star HD 53143 at millimeter wavelengths for the first time, and it looks nothing like they expected. Based on early coronagraphic data ...

The path of a Jupiter-size planet distorted the debris disk around the star Beta Pictoris. Due to the planet's flat orbit, astronomers once thought a second planet could have caused the distortion.

(Phys.org)—An international team of researchers reports the discovery of a series of concentric rings in the debris disk around a young nearby star known as HIP 73145. These unusual ...

Hubble astronomers have taken the most detailed picture to date of a large edge-on gas-and-dust disk encircling the 20-million-year-old star Beta Pictoris.

The path of a Jupiter-size planet distorted the debris disk around the star Beta Pictoris. Due to the planet's flat orbit, astronomers once thought a second planet could have caused the distortion.
