Mikko Tuomi | An international team of astronomers using the # JWST have directly imaged an # exoplanet roughly 12 light-years from Earth. This planet, Epsilon Indi Ab, is the nearest # Jupiter analog to the Sun, a giant gaseous # planet orbiting the star on a long-period orbit. I especially like this result because my group discovered the planet in 2018 based on radial velocities and # Hipparcos and # Gaia proper motions. # astronomy # exoplanets https://www. esa.int/Science_Exploration/Sp ace_Science/Webb/Webb_images_new_cold_exoplanet_12_light-years_away
