Webb X-O Planet Ping!..................
It looks hot. Possibly a class Y (Demon planet).
Going to need abestos suits for that one.
We need a bigger telescope. The images are blurry.
Being 6-12 times the mass of JUPITER you would be crushed by its gravity...............
Almost as big as a brown dwarf and newly formed—it’s glowing in more than just infrared.
Thanks for the ping. What people should realize is that none of these colors are “real”. The Webb Infrared telescope and camera capture long wavelengths in the infrared spectrum that the human eye cannot see. These long wavelengths are less blocked by dust and gas, so they are more accurate images. They get translated into visible spectrum by software. The people crying “fake, fake fake” need to realize that a real photo would look mostly black.
The star is 385 light years away from us - couldn’t they find a closer star with a planet around it? Alpha Centauri, maybe?
Maybe we could search for intelligent life on Earth (but exclude Washington, D.C.)
Maybe they didn’t think of that. We should contact them.
With the IR imaging frequencies, can the surface temperature be estimated?
Talos 5 is right around the corner. There’s a hot chick in a menagerie there
These look remarkably like Halton Arp’s photos of Quasars associated with galaxies, an observation which overturns virtually all of academic cosmology by refuting the red shift hypothesis for variance in observed spectra of the quasars versus their companion galaxies.
For example, all the distances, relative velocities and computed masses of distant objects are WRONG.
Oops.
And no more “Dark matter” either. Bogus as the Steele dossier.
Can you add me to your ping list RB?
Better minds than mine are on this but I’d love to see what they could find around proxima centuri. It’s the next nearest star and it’s planets might be resolvable to a better degree than this view.
Maybe we could search for intelligent life on Earth (but exclude Washington, D.C.)

Sorry.
I’m not trying to be mean; just having fun at her expanse...
Ugg. That is not a planetoid. That is an assteroid.
gee!! ...what a spectacular view!! Wtf even bother???
