NASA on Thursday shared an image taken by the James Webb Telescope showing the first-ever direct image of a planet outside our solar system.
NASA says the exoplanet, HIP 65426 b, is a gas giant, meaning it has no rocky surface and could not be habitable. The image can be seen through different bands of infrared light.
