Exoplanet HIP 65426 b
Exoplanet HIP 65426 b This image shows four JWST views of exoplanet HIP 65426 b in different bands of infrared light. The bar appearance in the NIRCam images is an artifact of the telescope’s optics. The white star icon in each image shows the location of the exoplanet's actual star, which was blocked by a coronagraph. NASA/ESA/CSA, A Carter (UCSC), the ERS 1386 team, and A. Pagan (STScI)
