JWST Captures Coldest Exoplanet, NASA’s Laser Communication Milestone

The James Webb Space Telescope directly images its coldest exoplanet target yet. NASA achieves a groundbreaking milestone by using laser communications to stream 4K video footage from an aircraft to the International Space Station (ISS). Join us as we explore these remarkable discoveries and their implications for our understanding of exoplanets and the future of space exploration.
