Webb Directly Images Two Planets Orbiting White Dwarfs
A Groundbreaking Discovery
In a groundbreaking achievement, the James Webb Space Telescope has directly imaged two planets orbiting white dwarfs, providing unprecedented insights into the formation and evolution of planetary systems. This discovery was made possible by Webb's advanced infrared capabilities, which allowed it to pierce through the dusty environments surrounding these distant worlds.
Key Findings:
* Webb has directly imaged two planets orbiting white dwarfs, SDSS J031300.59+001902.6 and SDSS J045713.59+001902.6.
* These planets are located approximately 200 light-years away and are part of a larger system of four planets orbiting a white dwarf star.
* The planets are revealed in unprecedented detail, with Webb's infrared vision allowing scientists to detect the presence of atmospheres, temperatures, and even the presence of
