Astronomers estimate that the exoplanet is about 15 million to 20 million years old, which means it’s a relatively young world compared to Earth, which is 4.5 billion years old. The potentially habitable planet, named 'TOI 700 d,' is relatively close to Earth only 100 light years away, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory announced during the winter American Astronomical. Former NASA astronaut Doug Hurley aims to help save Earth for beer in a lighthearted new video for Busch Lights Earth Month campaign. NASA said the Webb telescope will be able to glean new details about HIP 65426 b, including a more precise measurement of its mass and age. Rocky Planets Orbiting Ultracool Red Dwarfs. To celebrate this celestial event, NASA will release a stunning new image of Mars captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. A new map of Mars shows the Red Planet in stunning detail. The gas giant is up to 12 times the mass of Jupiter and its orbit is around 100 times farther from its host star than Earth is from the sun. Next weekend Mars will be at its closest to Earth in 15 years, appearing as a bright red-orange jewel in the night sky.

For comparison, Pluto is 40 AU from the sun. It is currently about 97 times farther from the sun than Earth, or 97 Astronomical Units (AU). The exoplanet is located about 355 light-years away from Earth and was first discovered in 2017, according to NASA. The planet, which hasnt been officially named yet, was found by Brown and colleagues using the Samuel Oschin Telescope at Palomar Observatory near San Diego. NASAs Director of Planetary Science, Jim Green, discusses the Jan. An international team of researchers has used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to measure the temperature of the rocky exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 b. Hinkley led the observations of HIP 65426 b with an international team. NASA’s Webb Measures the Temperature of a Rocky Exoplanet. "This is a transformative moment, not only for Webb but also for astronomy generally," Sasha Hinkley, an associate professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom, said in a statement. The observations are notable, however, because they hint at how the Webb telescope could be used to search for potentially habitable planets elsewhere in the universe. ![]()
