A habitable-zone ocean planet has been discovered orbiting a red dwarf in a binary star system 100 light-years away from Earth, and could provide a tantalizing target for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST or Webb) to study.
The exoplanet , cataloged as TOI-1452b, was initially spotted by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite ( TESS ), but because TESS was unable to resolve the binary system into its two stars, the transiting object's precise nature was uncertain.
Planet That May Be Covered With Water Discovered 100 Light Years Away
Astronomers have discovered a distant planet that they think could be completely covered in water, making it a prime target for future study by the James Webb Space Telescope.
The planet is called TOI-1452 b and it is located around 100 light years away from Earth, orbiting one of a pair of stars in the Draco constellation.

A study on the planet titled " TOI-1452 b: SPIRou and TESS Reveal a Super-Earth in a Temperate Orbit Transiting an M4 Dwarf " has been published in The Astronomical Journal .
Researchers from the University of Montreal have an exoplanet, meaning a planet outside of our solar system, orbiting the TOI-1452 dwarf star, which is part of a binary star system in the Draco constellation, roughly 100 light-years from Earth.
NASA finds first clear evidence of CO2 in an exoplanet's atmosphere
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has become known for capturing stunning images of space, but the telescope recently made a different kind of discovery –– the first clear evidence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of a planet outside the solar system.
The CO2 – the compound humans breathe out – was found in the atmosphere of a planet orbiting a star 700 light-years away, NASA said.

James Webb Space Telescope detects carbon dioxide in a distant planet's atmosphere
The Hubble and Spitzer telescopes previously detected water vapor, sodium and potassium in the planet's atmosphere. But JWST has more powerful and sensitive infrared capabilities and was able to pick up the signature of carbon dioxide as well.
"What is really amazing about the James Webb telescope is that we can see so much detail on Jupiter."
