The faraway 'super-Jupiter' is the first exoplanet to be photographed in infrared light.
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured its first-ever image of an exoplanet, or planet outside the solar system.
"This is a significant moment for a variety of reasons," Aarynn Carter, lead author and a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Santa Cruz, told Live Science."Firstly, this is the first time we've ever imaged a planet beyond 5 microns” in wavelength. Astronomers observed HIP 65426 b using seven filters, each of which allows a specific wavelength of infrared light to pass through. The telescope's precision surprised them.
