Unprecedented Observation: Webb Telescope Detects Exoplanet Duo Orbiting Dead Stars
<p>The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) excels at peering into the past by leveraging its advanced technology and capabilities. Equipped with instruments optimized for infrared observations, JWST can detect light from objects billions of light-years away, effectively capturing images of the universe as it appeared in the distant past. Its high sensitivity to faint signals, large aperture for collecting ample light, and stable environment in space ensure precise and detailed observations of extremely distant and faint objects.</p>
<p>With cutting-edge instrumentation like the Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and the Near Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec), JWST can study the earliest galaxies, stars, exoplanets, and the universe’s glow shortly after the Big Bang, providing invaluable insights into cosmic evolution and the origins of the cosmos. JWST has now added to this impressive list of discoveries by turning up another astrological surprise — a couple of exoplanets orbiting two different dead stars, or “white dwarfs.”</p>
