The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has already proven itself adept at peering into the past by imaging objects at tremendous distances, but a new breakthrough may have seen the powerful instrument act almost like a scientific crystal ball, staring into the far future of the solar system.
The JWST performed its prognostication when it made a possible rare direct direction of two extrasolar planets, or "exoplanets," orbiting two different dead stars, or "white dwarfs."
