Nasa’s James Webb Space Telescope finds its first planet
Since the planet is nearly the same size as our own, scientists may be confident in their observations thanks to the JWST's accuracy, they claim.
It is anticipated that this planet will only be the first of many that NASA's new space telescope will discover. Additionally,
because it is the only telescope capable of characterising the atmosphere of far-off planets, it will be able to see such planets in considerably more detail than ever before.
But as of yet, everything that is known about the planet's atmosphere is what isn't there. For example, it cannot contain a dense atmosphere dominated by methane like Titan, the moon of Saturn.

With more time, scientists anticipate being able to describe the atmosphere of the far-off planet more accurately.
However, the results also demonstrate how useful the JWST is for investigating other planets, and many more finds are anticipated in the coming days, weeks, and months.

The director of the Astrophysics Division at NASA Headquarters in Washington, Mark Clampin, concurred that "these first observational data from an Earth-sized,
rocky planet open the door to numerous future opportunities for investigating rocky planet atmospheres with Webb."
