NASA NASA developed under the leadership of James Webb Space Telescope important discoveries are made.
10 billion dollars James Webb Space Telescope (James Webb Space Telescope), continues to work that will shape our perspective on the world of science and the universe. JWST, which often made a sound with breathtaking photos in 2022, came to the fore with the first exoplanet discovery this time. official about it NASA Webb Telescope The following statement from his Twitter account: passed: “A brand new world! 41 light years small, rocky planet in the distance LHS 475b. This planet, which is 99% the diameter of the Earth, is almost the same size as our Earth. This is the first time researchers have used Webb to confirm an exoplanet.” Researchers state that the temperature of about 300 degrees was measured for the surface of the exoplanet found, and states that the researches will continue.
A whole new world!
41 light-years away is the small, rocky planet LHS 475 b. At 99% of Earth’s diameter, it’s almost exactly the same size as our home world. This marks the first time researchers have used Webb to confirm an exoplanet. https://t.co/hX8UGXplq2 #AAS241 pic.twitter.com/SDhuZRfcko

JWST at the end of last year with the detection of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of an exoplanet for the first time. had pulled. As can be understood, it has not only visual imaging but also scientific analysis features. JWST, It is 700 light years away and its atmosphere is constantly expanding with its temperature of 900 degrees. WASP-39b (Computer design above) With his discovery of carbon dioxide, he made an important demonstration for his search for extraterrestrial life.

exoplanet or exoplanet is used for planets that are exactly outside the Solar System and orbiting another star. Talking about exoplanets, whose number has reached 5 thousand as of March 21, 2022, Jessie Christiansen, a researcher at NASA Exoplanet Science Institute, said in a statement. “This is not just a number. Each one is a new world, a brand new planet. I’m excited for each one of them because we don’t know anything about them.” had used the words.
