Webb telescope captures its first direct images of carbon dioxide outside solar system
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured its first direct images of carbon dioxide in a planet outside the solar system in HR 8799, a multiplanet system 130 light-years away that has long been a key target for planet formation studies.
Webb Telescope Captures First Direct Evidence of Carbon Dioxide on an Exoplanet
In 2022, the Webb telescope detected unequivocal evidence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of a distant exoplanet called WASP-39b. But that detection was made indirectly, so the latest accomplishment newly validates the telescope’s ability to spot the gas in distant star systems.
