The James Webb Space Telescope has photographed a planet outside the solar system for the first time in history.

On it is the gas giant HIP 65426 b, it is 6-12 times heavier than Jupiter. The planet does not have a rocky surface, so it cannot be habitable. HIP 65426 b is located 100 times further from its parent star than the Earth is from the Sun. Its atmosphere, containing reddish dust clouds, warms up to 1300 °C. The planet makes a complete revolution around its star in 630 Earth years. Previously, exoplanets were photographed only by ground-based telescopes, because of this, it was not possible to study celestial bodies in detail. Now a new stage of research will begin, which is why astronomers have called the James Webb image historical.
