JWST Images Giant Exoplanet Epsilon Indi Ab with Evidence of Water-Ice Clouds

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured images of a giant exoplanet, Epsilon Indi Ab, located just 12 light-years from Earth, revealing what appear to be water-ice clouds in its atmosphere. This significant finding, made using the coronagraph of JWST's Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI), demonstrates the telescope's capability to explore exoplanet atmospheres and suggests a greater diversity in distant worlds than previously anticipated.
