Webb telescope captures first direct image of a new exoplanet in debris disk

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has made it possible to better characterize known exoplanets since it was commissioned in 2022. Thanks to research led by a CNRS researcher at the Observatoire de Paris-PSL associated with the Université Grenoble Alpes, the telescope recently captured the direct image of a previously unknown exoplanet.
