NASAS James Webb Space Telescope has captured its first direct image of an exoplanet

NASA’S James Webb Space Telescope has captured direct images of a planet outside of our solar system, which is the first time it has accomplished such a feat.This is a very big deal because exoplanets don't put out much light, so researchers typically discover new planets through indirect methods like keeping track of shadows as they pass across a host star.Webb, however, didn't have to do all that.It has directly captured images of a planet called TWA 7 b.

Scientists believe the planet is around the mass of Saturn and is located 100 light years away from Earth.A never-before-seen planet!
