This photograph captures a previously undiscovered planet – and scientists are hopeful it's the first of many the James Webb Telescope could uncover

Photographers often can't get enough light – but by blocking out some light, the largest telescope launched into space has photographed what could be its first previously undiscovered planet. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has photographed what researchers believe is a new exoplanet, dubbed TWA 7 b.

While the new exoplanet is estimated to be around the mass of Saturn, the TWA 7 b is believed to be the lightest planet ever seen using the Mid-Infrared Instrument imaging. The exoplanet orbits the star TWA 7, around 34 light-years from Earth.
