The James Webb Space Telescope He has revealed his amazing performance again. By photographing so-called exoplanets Epsilon Indi Ab It is considered to be one of the coolest exoplanets ever directly observed. With a freezing temperature of 2 degrees Celsius, the star is about 12 light years from Earth.
Pictures taken by the James Webb Telescope show that the planet is special. similar to Jupiter The largest planet in our solar system. But it is several times larger than Jupiter, making it a “super Jupiter”. but a little cooler
“This discovery is exciting. Because this planet is very similar to Jupiter. slightly warmer and has more mass But it is more similar to Jupiter than any other planet designed so far. …. Elizabeth Matthews (Elisabeth Matthews), head of the astronomy team for this discovery, he said
This planetary system It is also more similar to our solar system than any other system. This makes it a great opportunity for astronomers to study similar solar systems. And now, planets orbiting other stars have been discovered. The discovery was confirmed, 5,690 stars in total.
Exploring the Solar System Epsilon Indi Ab In this James Webb telescope image, the planet can be seen as a bright orange dot on the left side of the image. Astronomers observed and imaged the Epsilon Indi Ab solar system using a coronagraph on the James Webb Space Telescope’s MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument). This image of an exoplanet is no exception. The coronal graph blocks light from the host star. to reveal the planets around it This is like raising your hand to look at the sun on a sunny day. So you can see what is in front of you better. and made it possible to photograph the planet Epsilon Indi Ab.
