A blazing gas giant beyond our solar system has been caught in unprecedented detail by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). This is the first image of an exoplanet by the $10 billion telescope. The remarkable image of HIP 65426 b, an object younger and hotter than Jupiter, has sent the world of astronomy into ecstasy. The planet is about 15-20 million years old.
