Weibu Telescope takes the direct image of the outer planet for the first time

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration said on September 1 that James Webb Space Telescope first took a direct image of an outer planet.

The US Space Agency released news saying that the exogenous star named HIP 65426 B is a giant stars that are not suitable for living. Its quality is 6 to 12 times that of Jupiter, between 15 million and 20 million years, which is much younger than the earth.

In 2017, astronomers used the European Southern Observatory to discover the planet with a large telescope built in Chile. Weibu Telescope is now shooting more details of the planet. Due to the infrared radiation interference from the earth, these details cannot be taken from the ground.

The challenge of shooting HIP 65426 B is more than one tenth of the stars surrounded by the lack of radiation brightness surrounded by the stars surrounded by the stars surrounded. Essence

The near -infrared camera (Nircam) and Miri (Miri) of the Webb and Miri (Miri) are equipped. This device can block the star light and make the telescope shoot to the planet.

The distance between HIP 65426 B is about 100 times the distance between the earth and the sun. Because this distance is far away, in the image captured by the Webu Telescope, the planet and its stars are visible.

The "Predecessor" Hubble Space Telescope of the Webb also shot a direct image of the outer planet. However, the HIP 65426 B image analysis of the U.S. California, the University of California, doctoral post -doctoral Ali Carter, said that the direct images of the exogenal planet for the first time of the Wabbu telescope are still exciting, and it feels like digging a space treasure.

Carter said that the Wabbi telescope will shoot more images of the outer planet to promote the overall understanding of astronomers' physical, chemical properties and formation of the planet.

"We may even find the planets that I didn't know before."
