Astronomers have revealed the first photograph of an exoplanet taken by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The image shows the bright blob of a world seven times heavier than Jupiter that orbits a star nearly 400 light-years away.
The JWST, a telescope decades in the making that launched in December 2021 and now floats a million miles from Earth, became fully operational this summer. It has observed distant galaxies at the dawn of the universe and taken exquisite views of Jupiter, among other early results .
