Jupiter-like exoplanet found by NASA telescope takes more than 100 years to orbit its star
The Webb Space Telescope discovered a gas giant roughly the same diameter as Jupiter but six times its mass, orbiting the nearby star Epsilon A. It could take the planet up to 250 years to complete one revolution around the star. The planet and star are about 3.5 billion years old, a billion years younger […]
Exoplanet is first detected with potentially life-supporting atmosphere: NASA
The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered what appears to be clear signs of life on a “potentially habitable” planet about 50 million light-years from Earth. Researchers from the University of Michigan and the University of Montreal analyzed data sent back by the high-powered JWST optical satellite in late 2023. They showed that an exoplanet […]
