Webb Telescope captures TWA 7 b, a Saturn-mass planet 50 AU from its star, proving its ability to directly image smaller exoplanets and paving the way toward Earth-like planet discoveries.

The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered an exoplanet using the direct-imaging technique. The host star's light was blocked using a coronagraph to reveal a planet to its right. The light at the star's far left is an unrelated star.
