Smallest Alien World Ever Seen Spotted by JWST in Stunning First

alternative_right writes: Around a newly formed star just 111 light-years away, the powerful space telescope has officially discovered its first exoplanet. It's called TWA-7b, and it's the smallest world that humanity has ever directly imaged.

TWA-7b is a cold gas giant with about a third of the mass of Jupiter, orbiting its red dwarf host star at a staggering distance – 52 times farther than Earth orbits the Sun. In our Solar System, that distance would place TWA-7b out in the Kuiper Belt, far beyond the orbit of Pluto.
