News summary

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a groundbreaking image of the exoplanet Epsilon Indi Ab, located just 12 light-years away. This 'super-Jupiter' is six times the mass of Jupiter and features a surface temperature of about 2 degrees Celsius, making it one of the coldest directly imaged exoplanets. The planet takes over 200 years to orbit its host star, Epsilon Indi A, which is part of a three-star system in the Indus Constellation. Researchers used advanced coronagraph techniques to block the star's light and reveal the planet. This discovery not only highlights the capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope but also provides new insights into the characteristics and atmospheres of distant gas giants.
