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 Telescope (JWST). William ...

Webb’s data shows that HR 8799’s four gas giants likely formed via core accretion, the same process that shaped Jupiter and Saturn in our solar system. Webb detected carbon dioxide and carbon ...

The clearest look in the infrared yet at the iconic multi-planet system HR 8799. Colors are applied to filters from Webb’s NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera). A star symbol marks the location of the ...

The observations also revealed the first-ever detection of the innermost planet, HR 8799 e, at a wavelength of 4.6 ...

NASA explained this phenomenon of the four planets: "The closest to the star, HR 8799 e, orbits 2.4 billion kilometers from its star, which in our solar system would be located between the orbits ...

This discovery opens a new window into understanding planetary systems. Located 130 light-years away, the HR 8799 system hosts four giant planets that have long intrigued scientists. Webb's ...

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 ...
