The powerful James Webb Space Telescope has captured a series of remote planets in the HR 8799 star system that are 130 light years away in the Milky Way, and they are very strikin ...

Astronomers have shared new direct images of planets in the HR 8799 and 51 Eridani systems. These were obtained using the ...

JWST’s coronagraphs were modified to enhance exoplanet imaging HR 8799 planets were captured in mid-infrared wavelengths Carbon dioxide detection confirms core accretion planetary formation ...

Here’s how it works. Last week, astronomers unveiled exciting new images of planets in the HR 8799 and 51 Eridani star systems — and it was all thanks to a creative use of the James Webb Space ...

William Balmer, a PhD student at Johns Hopkins University in the US who led the study, describes the planets that orbit the star HR 8799 as an ‘excellent laboratory’ for studying gas giants. ‘It’s ...

The gas has been observed directly by the James Webb Space Telescope on four exoplanets, all belonging to the HR 8799 system, located 130 light-years from Earth. The detection of CO 2 offers clues ...

The telescope has captured detailed images of massive, young exoplanets in the HR 8799 system, located about 130 light-years from Earth, revealing clear signs of carbon dioxide (CO 2) in their ...

The HR 8799 system, 130 light years from Earth, is only 30 million years old — just a baby compared to our solar system's 4.6 billion years. A U.S.-led team of researchers used Webb to directly ...

The planets, all young gas giants, were spotted in HR 8799, a system that's only around 30 million years old. Though already extensively probed, these latest observations, as detailed in a new study ...
