The James Webb Space Telescope has captured its first direct images of carbon dioxide in a planet outside the solar system in HR 8799, a multiplanet system 130 light-years away that has long been ...

Here's where the James Webb Space Telescope comes in. Its advanced technology, including its large mirror and suite of ...

The gas giants outside our solar system are not capable of hosting extraterrestrial life, but do offer clues in a lingering mystery about how distant planets form, researchers said.

Carbon dioxide detected in the atmosphere of exoplanets. The post Carbon Dioxide in Distant Exoplanets Discovered By ...

"Since the Earth's atmosphere has a lot of carbon dioxide, [it] blocks a large amount of light at this wavelength." The JWST's advantage here is that it exists beyond Earth's atmosphere ...

The James Webb Space Telescope detected carbon dioxide directly on exoplanets for the first time. This allows the formation of planets to be reconstructed. The planets orbit the star HR 8799 ...

Carbon dioxide has been detected on a planet outside our solar system for the first time. The gas has been observed directly by the James Webb Space Telescope on four exoplanets, all belonging to ...

Astronomers used JWST’s coronagraphs in a unique way to capture new images of exoplanets in the HR 8799 and 51 Eridani systems.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope uncovered a new milestone in exoplanet research by capturing images of exoplanets containing carbon dioxide in their atmospheres. This discovery, within the HR ...

The JWST identified the presence of carbon dioxide in WASP-39 b when it passed between us and its star, but that was considered an indirect detection, noting absorption lines in the star’s spectrum.
