James Webb Space Telescope directly images its coldest exoplanet target yet
The extrasolar planet or “exoplanet” is located in the triple star system Epsilon Indi, which sits around 12 light-years away. The planet is designated Eps Ind Ab and has a mass around six times that of Jupiter; it orbits its red dwarf parent star at a distance similar to that between Neptune and the sun. This gives the world a surface temperature of around 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) and means one orbit of the planet takes around 200 Earth years.
