Detailed explanation-1: -NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope Discovers New Exoplanet Named LHS 475b. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced that the James Webb Space Telescope has discovered its first new exoplanet. Researchers have labelled the planet as LHS 475 b.

Detailed explanation-2: -He and his colleague Kevin Stevenson lead the team that recently announced the discovery of the first confirmed exoplanet with JWST, a world named LHS 475 b. It orbits a red dwarf star 41 light years away in the constellation of Octans, and excitingly, it’s almost exactly the same size as Earth.

Detailed explanation-3: -To help answer that question, astronomers used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to study a rocky exoplanet known as GJ 486 b. It is too close to its star to be within the habitable zone, with a surface temperature of about 800 degrees Fahrenheit (430 degrees Celsius).

Detailed explanation-4: -The earliest-known galaxy ever found was recently uncovered and confirmed by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. But astrophysicist Brant Robertson, who helped make the discovery as part of the JADES team, said that he doesn’t expect the current record will hold for long.
